Ovo je treći i završni dio takozvane Star Wars Dark Lord trilogije koja je počela sa “Labyrinth of Evil”, kao drugi dio bila je svima poznata “Revenge of the Sith” i ovo je treća, koja se događajima nastavlja direktno na “Revenge of the Sith”. Priča počinje u završnim trenucima Clone ratova kada Naredba 66 kosi Jedi vitezove po cijeloj galaksiji. Anakin Skywalker je prestao postojati kao takav, a njegovo mjesto je zauzeo Darth Vader, jako ranjiv, zbunjen, ljut i nesiguran u svojem novom životu kao mješavina kiborga i ostatka čovjeka koji je izgorio u jezeru lave na planeti Mustafar. Ono što mi je jako super leglo u ovoj knjizi je to što prikazuje svu nesigurnost novog života u Vaderovom oklopu, način kako vidi, kako čuje, kako živi u konstantnoj boli i pokušava uroniti dublje u mračnu stranu Sile pošto mu je Darth Sidious obećao svašta prilikom njegovog preobraćenja iz Jedi viteza u Sitha. Glavni likovi priče su preživjeli Jedi Roan Shryne i Padawan Olee Starstone koji sa ranjenom skupinom Jedia pokušavaju preživjeti napade imperijalnih jurišnika i otkriti tko je misteriozan Darth Vader koji ih proganja. Knjigu je napisao iskusan Star Wars veteran James Luceno, jako se pitko čita i ima uz odličnu priču impresivne scene bitke, pogotovo završne na Wookie planeti Kashykk, tako da mi je od cijele trilogije ova najbolja. Mislim da na hrvatskom ili srpskom jeziku knjiga nije izašla nažalost, ja imam na engleskom.
Australian hardcore scene is great and has some really great bands to offer to the world like Deez Nuts, Toe To Toe, Clowns…In Ashes come from Gold Coast, Australia. This quartet plays modern melodic variation of hardcore with many metal influences so they sound more metalcore than classic hardcore band. The album contains 10 songs of sorrow, hope, melody, aggression and despair. The guitar riffs are melodic but also somehow downtuned and there are many atmospheric parts in the songs like “Second of April, 1988”. The vocal parts are mainly harsh, growling and tortured screams, but in a few songs there is also nice melodic clean vocals to counterpart the aggression of the growling screams. The highlight of this album is the song “Isolation” with great guest vocals by Samantha Hurst. In all, this is not a bad album, but I did not like it specially because personally I am not a fan of metalcore modern sound of hardcore.
This is a relative new and young band fresh on New York Hardcore scene. Hailing from Bronx, they released one ep in 2015. and then remained relative inactive due to some lineup changes. Now, they released their first full length album and I love it. The album contains 13 songs and it is a hardcore bomb full of energy and it is what I needed in this times when almost all the bands play the new modern version of hardcore. Enziguri went the other way and they play old school New York Hardcore and their music sounds like a mix of more melodic songs of Agnostic Front and the music of H2O. They kinda reminded me vocally a lot on Toby Morse from H2O. Since those two bands are one of my favourite hardcore bands, this album was listened on repeat for many times and I loved it. Positive lyrics about friendship, streets, having fun, fight, make you jump and make you wanna hug that sweaty kid in the pit next to you. I hope Enziguri will be heard all over the world and become another proof why New York Hardcore scene is one of the best hardcore scenes in the world! Top songs: “Love Wins”, “Amigo”, “No Time”
