First Brawl is another representative of the mighty Italian hardcore scene from Bologna/Modena area and the guys have been around for a while. This is their new record for Indelirium Records and I listened it and reviewed it for this webzine.
The record contains intro plus five songs of modern aggressive hardcore. Although this is modern hardcore with breaks, fast aggressive drumming and some metalish hooks in the song structures, the guys also give respect to the old school and punkrock influences so for me this band sounds like a crossbreed between Madball, SOIA and modern bands like Terror and Hatebreed, but they managed to remain fresh and energetic without losing the hardcore force and touch that flows through me while listening to this record. Of course there are a lot gang back vocals just made for singalong at the gigs and I am sure that these guys sound awesome live. This is good hardcore record! The best song on the record in my opinion is “New Page”.
Hollowed Idols released their new e.p. via Rotted Life and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.
The quartet is hailing from Mississippi area and the guys play foul and dirty technical death metal but don´t be mistaken, this is not some amateur stuff, this is high class pumping U.S. death metal underground star that shines its dark light upon the scene. The record contains 4 songs from the e.p. and three demo version of that songs. The production is raw, murky but aggressive with blast beats, guttural vocals, some almost thrash metal guitar solo work and if I must compare this record to some bands, it would be early Incantation and similar U.S. death metal behemoths. I am not really fan of such metal, I prefer more melody and more drama and more style, but this is good record for the fans of underground death metal.
This is Core is proud to Present 1957, new single from Sunset Radio.
“1957” is the first extract from Sunset Radio upcoming album. The song shifts the band’s playing from 90’s punk rock to a more mature sound, closer to modern pop punk.
“The song’s about the importance of friendships, especially in dark and unhappy moments” says guitarist Matteo Rossi.
