I already wrote on the pages of this zine why Punk Rock Holiday is THE best festival in Europe and probably one of the best in the world.
Awesome scenery, inspiration and not to mention great lineup make this festival a winner. But, you know what really makes it stand above all most of the other festivals? That is friendship and all of the kids there make one big happy PRH family.
We who were there watch this video with fond moist eyes and smile upon our faces. You who will go there for the first time, check it out and see the beauty of it all.
Let Them Fall is an Italian melodic hardcore/metalcore band active since 2012.and this is their first full length album, the result of hard work and perseverance through the years.
The album contains 10 tracks of melodic hardcore bordering with metalcore. The lyrics and song titles of the album are inspired by Nordic mythology but in fact through the lyrics you can find motivational charge to find your place in the world and to bring your inner self to peace with who you really are. That is how I understood the lyrics. One of the absolute highlights of the album for me is “Jormund” with its anthemic melodies and chorus it made my skin crawl with goosebumps. The clever use of piano and electronics in the song emphasize the grandeur of Let Them Fall´s music. I usually don´t like metalcore much, I love these guys because they are melodic hardcore band showing where modern hardcore should go to, being original and also energetic. Some scene purists don´t like hardcore to go anywhere from the stripped down lo-fi origins or youth crew days of the 80´s but I already said, the underground scene is like a living, breathing entity, constantly searching, constantly evolving and if we open our eyes and ears we can only grow rich with new experiences and conquer the new horizons.
I said it before and I will say it again, Australian scene rules! So many great bands, so many excellent labels, promoters…
Postscript are Melbourne punks and this is their new e.p. It is a 3 song record and I must admit to all of you who read this, the record is awesome. I sincerely dont know which song is better. “Sorry State” has such a great chorus that I am still in awe and I listened to it a couple of times in a row to make sure I hear it clear. The production of the record is also massive and crispy but powerful. I love the fast and melodic hardcore simplicity of the songs but also technicality of the song structures. “Too Blind To See” has a sing along part that I bet goes well live and “S.O.S.” is a fine mix of political and personal themes. This is for sure, one of the best records in this genre that came out recently, I wait eagerly for the full length.
