(record review)ARKANA CODE-“Brutal Conflict”(Metal Scrap Records Inc)

Hailing from Italy, Arkana Code plays technical thrash death metal and this is their second album and it came out on mighty Metal Scrap Records Inc.

ARKANA CODE - Brutal Conflict

The album contains 10 songs plus intro. After the ominous intro in which we hear someone walking followed by evil sounding music, the opener “Violent Human Corruption” feasts our eyes with brutal thrash metal almost bordering with pure death metal. The song is really fast with wicked screamning guitars that even Slayer wouldnt be ashamed of. “Oppressor of Darkness” and “Escape from my Mind” are two more grenades on the territory of modern brutal deadly thrash metal. These guys were originally formed in 2008.under other moniker and enduring some lineup changes through the years, they gathered experience and the results are evident. For me the absolute highlight and the best song on the album is definitely “The Holocaust Horde” being a lesson in energy made for moshing. I liked this album and I am eager to hear the new stuff by this band in the future.

The band says: “‘Wolftales’ is our first full-length, the arrival point of a long journey started more than one year ago. The thematics are familiar to our previous music, we speak about self-improvement and most of our songs are a call out for those who need to find their own path in this world. Regarding the sound we’ve maintained the same atmosphere we’ve created with the last two singles, a powerful metalcore but still melodic and emotional. Our great inspiration for this album as far as the concept is concerned has been the northern mythology, from which we’ve taken a part of the titles and lyrics”.

(record review)CC-“Wasteland e.p.”

CC from the capital in Croatia, Zagreb, is a relatively new band on Croatian hardcore punk scene but its members are not new to the scene. They played in variety of hardcore punk and metal bands and this is the sum of their experiences as musicians, equal excellent hardcore punk band.

The e.p.features four awesome hardcore punk songs with lyrics in Croatian and English language. The music this band plays is no compromise fast and angry hardcore punk without any modern stuff and in my opinion our scene lacked such bands in the last couple of years. There are some almost thrash metal solos in the songs but and its not strange knowing that Ivan played/plays in some great metal bands. The sound of the record is awesome and its not strange knowing the fine work Studio Depth provides for the underground scene in Croatia. I am eager to see and hear this band live because I am sure these songs are awesome and pure hardcore energy live. Best song for me: “Wasteland”.
