Scarecrow from Finland play their vision of metal hardcore horror punk for more than twenty years now and they became one of my favorite bands of this genre. This time they deliver their first concept album opus and it is excellent, maybe the best album of this entity up to date. This one contains 16 songs of fast, raw and gory hardcore horrorpunk with metal influences and some synth underlayers which only emphasize the dark atmosphere of this bomb of a record. Fast, strong, but also melodic and melancholic in a way only Finnish bands can do. Songs like Mark Of The Werewolf, Witchfuck, In The Name Of Nothing, Gruesome Twosome are my personal favorites. I strongly recommend this record with all my dark black heart. This is for sure one of the best releases that came out this year.
Meadows is bringing a three-part EP to Facedown Records. The first two parts, previously self-released by the band, were re-released through the label on June 11. The third part will be released as a brand new EP, followed by additional tracks which will join all three segmented releases and come together as one complete LP. “In Those Days & Also After” will be released in full on September 3, 2021.
Italian hardcore band Total Recall are finally releasing today their first studio album entitled Always Together via the Australian label 1054 Records.
Always Together has been recorded at the SPVN Studio, under the supervision of producer Stefano “Orkid” Santi – Cripple Bastards, Forgotten Tomb, Hiss from the Moat -.
The record is made up of 9 tracks of condensed powerful energy ready to explode, that will make you want to headbang, scream and mosh with your friends.
Stef, guitarist, declares: “Hey folks. our debut album is officially out now and forever. We have waited almost one year and a half to share these 9 jams with all of you. We worked harder, played harder thinking of our fallen brother Massi. Thanks to Peter at 1054 Records and Rising Nemesis Records for unleashing it to the world. If you like downtuned metallic riffage, this one’s for you!“
In the previous months, the album was anticipated by the release of two singles, Poison Flow and Seas Of Illusion, in rotation worldwide on radio stations and Spotify playlists.
The performance videos demonstrate how Total Recall are able to bring raw and raging energy on stage, ready to mesmerize the audience.
“Always Together is a sonic wrecking ball that will leave you bloodied and beaten, yet utterly exhilarated. An uncompromising collection of chunky, metallic, machine-gunning riffs, groovy bass and the hardest of post-hardcore sensibilities. A fitting antidote to all those annoying smiley summer tunes.” The Razors Edge
