Mission Two Entertainment is thrilled to announce the signing of BRAVE THE COLD to its already powerful lineage of artists. Fronted by longtime Napalm Death member Mitch Harris and Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren, BRAVE THE COLD is a two-piece formed in 2018 as the two metal conglomerates focus their energies into a new level of aggression. The culmination is Scarcity, an eleven track collection of ferociousness breathing much-needed life into the heavy metal scene of 2020. Produced by the legendary Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly), Scarcity is set for release on October 2nd, 2020.

Harris adds, “Mission Two Entertainment progressed to their next phase in the music world and they have been the most inspiring team I’ve ever worked with! They truly believe with heart and soul to push this to the highest level possible as we forge ahead in our forever altered civilization.”

BRAVE THE COLD’s glitchy, byzantine death metal doesn’t just shift gears – it whips, stutters and jumps sideways into heavyweight dimensions. The entire Scarcity theme is a well-researched, scenic debate combining Dystopian views ranging from Anti-Elite, Anti-Media, Anti-Division, Anti-Oppression, End of Days Philosophies, Post-Apocalyptic Poetry, Mind Control, Economic Instability, Educational Infiltration and Global Political Deceit that compromises our spirituality of ONE COLLECTIVE VOICE. This is a global agenda that was a long time coming. It’s a reflection on how government can create urgency out of necessity.

Scarcity hits the world on October 2, 2020.

(review) They Stay Dead-REGRESSION E.P.

They Stay Dead  are hailing from Oklahoma and this is their new e.p. containing 3 songs.  Their Bandcamp says hard rock from retired skatepunks and that led me to something totally different than the music on this record really is. These three songs are pure melodic hardcore punk with speed, ferociousness, a bit metalic sound, I can even here some nwobhm in guitar work of Shiny Things. But, for me the best song on the record is fast, melodic and straightforward Zipped Up, being most hardcore punk song on this record. The third song Plague Bearer is kinda most complex with middle part of almost mathematical changes and metalic sounding. This one is good one. Go try!

Bracket are back with new release on mighty Sbam Records. This one is a thirteen song record made of b-sides, demos and acoustic versions of some hits that this band provided during the years in the scene. What is there to say? Those who love Bracket will love this record too, consider it as a gift from band to the fans around the world making quite a few punkrockers faces happy in these shitty times with no gigs and festivals totally ruining the year and Summer and everything, but records like this one somehow make it hurt a bit less. My favorites on this record are When I Think Of You, an acoustic version of 2Rak005 and 867-5309-Jenny. This is the gift for the fans from the band, so if you are a fan you will not regret it, this is quality melodic punkrock with a touch of pop punk in the song structures.
