Camo Pants Records is the new underground record label and this is their first release. It is a record by Cist, death thrash metal band from Russia.

Cist was formed in summer 2014 in Smolensk (Russia) as a result of breakup of another band, Hell’s Thrash Horsemen. This album contains five tracks with titles in English language. The music this guys play is classic old school death thrash metal. The songs are fast, aggressive and they offer nothing new and revolutionary but this is a decent death thrash record. Vocals remind me of John Tardy from Obituary. These guys play a mix of Florida school of death metal with classic European Scandinavian death metal and are hellish good in what they do.

The band says: “‘Wolftales’ is our first full-length, the arrival point of a long journey started more than one year ago. The thematics are familiar to our previous music, we speak about self-improvement and most of our songs are a call out for those who need to find their own path in this world. Regarding the sound we’ve maintained the same atmosphere we’ve created with the last two singles, a powerful metalcore but still melodic and emotional. Our great inspiration for this album as far as the concept is concerned has been the northern mythology, from which we’ve taken a part of the titles and lyrics”.

(record review)CC-“Wasteland e.p.”

CC from the capital in Croatia, Zagreb, is a relatively new band on Croatian hardcore punk scene but its members are not new to the scene. They played in variety of hardcore punk and metal bands and this is the sum of their experiences as musicians, equal excellent hardcore punk band.

The e.p.features four awesome hardcore punk songs with lyrics in Croatian and English language. The music this band plays is no compromise fast and angry hardcore punk without any modern stuff and in my opinion our scene lacked such bands in the last couple of years. There are some almost thrash metal solos in the songs but and its not strange knowing that Ivan played/plays in some great metal bands. The sound of the record is awesome and its not strange knowing the fine work Studio Depth provides for the underground scene in Croatia. I am eager to see and hear this band live because I am sure these songs are awesome and pure hardcore energy live. Best song for me: “Wasteland”.
