(review) Mališa Bahat- Lovers. Loners. Losers.

Dugo nismo čuli ništa od Mališa Bahat, kad ono bam! Evo novog albuma! Kakvo ugodno iznenađenje u godini preplavljnoj odličnim domaćim i regionalnim izdanjima. Ovo novo izdanje sadrži 10 pjesama, sve na engleskom jeziku. Muzika je neki prirodni upgrade ono što su radili prije, znači hardcore screamo sa odličnim vokalom Jakovom, sve prožeto melankoličnim melodijama i tužnim hookovima u pjesmama, kao i odličnim matematičko točnim ritmom bubnjeva koji variraju od black metalskog blast beata do sporijih skoro sludgy dionica. Odlična mi je uporaba semplova u meni dragoj Open The Last Bottle kao i melodija tuge u fenomenalnoj Shadow Charades, gdje Jakovov vokal dolazi do punog izražaja izmjenjujući vriskove, spoken word i ponešto growla. Od stvari koje mogu spomenuti kao meni jednako highlighte ovog albuma su pomalo rockerska hardcore punk pjesma Mother’s Words i Sunset Blvd. Ali, poslušajte ovaj album i čekirajte ovaj bend negdje uživo jer kidaju. Odličan povratak, odličan novi album.

(review) Mustasuo-Katharsis(Off Records Finland)

thumbnail_m_1586952720

Mustasuo are hailing from Finland and this is their new record with Off Records Finland. The name of the band means black swamp, after a local city district of Oulu where the band comes from. They were formed in 2015. The music Mustasuo is harsh hardcore punk with a lot of d beat, old school Finnish hc punk influences and some black metal, popular blackened crust punk. There are 10 fast songs full of energy on this record sung in Finnish language. The vocals are screaming and remind me a lot of Croatian bands AK-47 and Ljubiša Samardžić, similar voice and screaming. The songs are raw, gritty, but with recognizable Finnish melancholy, spite and depression melody underneath it all. Also, some weird electronic voice parts in Kun illuusio sarkyy make the song fantastic and one of my album favorites besides Tuomitulle with doomy parts and Tuhoaja. Great album, great band.

 

(review) Snag-Snag(Zegema Beach Records)

a1394667157_10

Milwaukee´s Snag released the record with Zegema Beach Records. What do we get with this one? We get nine songs of darkened hardcore with emotional, screaming vocals, nice apocalyptic melodies, pissed of noisy song structures and environmentally engaged sensitive lyrics about a change that needs to come if we want our planet to survive. Besides, the music is very brutal and energetic but has that touch, the one that makes your heart all warm and tear sometimes come to your eye like in beautiful instrumental violin miniature Morning that serves as calm before the storm preparation for the most harsh and brutal song on the record called Colony Collapse with combination of brutal and screaming vocals coupled with nervous riffs. I also love the clever use of samples as in Into the forest. My personal favorite is Hunger Stone having a very wicked guitar melody which I wish that I wrote hehe. This is another great release, go and discover hardcore bands and remember, always support your scene!
