Full Circle are hailing from Washington DC hardcore scene. This EP contains intro plus four songs. Music is hardcore but not so much fast one, rather metallic nineties influenced hardcore which reminds me a bit of Biohazard, Sick Of It All and similar bands. Vocals are cool, not screaming but more shouted and you can understand what is being sung about with or without lyric sheet. The lyrics deal with keeping it true, the scene, false friendships, themes that are omnipresent in hardcore. The music is energetic enough to keep your hardcore heart beating but there are some slower moshing parts which I somehow dislike on this record and the guitar could be louder in the mix and more aggressive sounding, but who am I to judge? This is only my personal taste. But, this is good hardcore for listening and full album would be nice once the guys release it. My personal favorites are title track and ‘Beneath It All’. Good little EP.
(movie – horror) Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022.)
Evo jednog simpatičnog malog meksičkog horrora koji me ugodno iznenadio. Prema žanru spadao bi negdje u psihološke mindfuck horror filmove. Valeria je dugo željela dijete ali kada ostane trudna nešto nije u redu. Događaju njoj se čudne vizije, progone je sumnje, u vizijama pucaju kosti, progoni je Huesera The Bone Woman, jedino je opasan ritual može spasiti kao i njeno dijete. Film je zapravo mali film, s nekoliko glumaca, glavna glumica Natalia Solian nosi sve na svojim plećima i izrazima lica, mimikom tijela, odlično odaje izmučenost glavne junakinje događajima koji je progone. Za ovako mali film, ima odlične spooky momente kao i odlične specijalne efekte i sama atmosfera filma je nekako zgusnuta i mučna kao i kraj filma koji ostavlja gledatelju da sam protumači ono što je vidio, ja sam si protumačio na jedan način, no to ne znači da ćeš ti vidjeti film sasvim s druge strane spektra od mene. Ovakav film je za mala kina i festivale, siguran sam da dobro prolazi tamo i da je ovako dobar film ostao na radaru fanova i struke, pošto se radi o jednom od boljih ostvarenja ove godine.
Zaključak: 8 /10 sjekira- u ovom filmu nema slasher krvavih scena, nema krvoprolića, ali ima mnogo atmosfere, čak folk horror utjecaja i mnogo dobrih scena koje spojene u jednu cjelinu daju odličan film. Moja preporuka.
(review) Ailleurs-‘Where different worlds collide’
This band is coming from La Rochelle, France and this is their debut full length album. There are ten songs on this one. Music is basically punk rock but with so much more influences thrown in. There are hardcore, metal, funk, reggae, midwest emo, but also blackgaze to be more modern. Lyrics deal with personal themes, like will to live, mental health issues, but also oppression and social injustices. I love how this band manages to mix all these influences in their music but still remain punk rock and punch you in the face. One of my personal favorites is ‘She Resisted Agonizingly’, mixture of fast hardcore punk and reggae with good lyrics. Vocals are more screaming and shouted and somehow fit perfectly to the atmosphere each of the songs has, because every song is different from the other and that is the beauty of this album. One other song I must also mention as favorite is ‘Fading’ which is totally cool with lyrics that goosebumps your skin. Also ‘Flashes of Corruption Destruction(in My Dreams)’ is worth mentioning having that cool catchy riff and reminding me of early Shelter, but hey, maybe it is only me. This is in fact an interesting album for all of you who love your punkrock diverse.
