Finns One Hidden Frame released You Are Free To Go!

One Hidden Frame deliver another prominent track from their upcoming album ‘I Am Not Here’; ‘You Are Free to Go’ is a tear-jerker disguised as an upbeat punk rock rager. A sad yet cathartic story told with catchy vocals and a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere is guaranteed to evoke a multitude of emotions.

“I was 8 years old when we got a dog. I grew up with him and learned how animals have their own personality, they are individuals. 11 years later, during winter, I fell asleep and forgot that he was outside. I woke up and went to look for him and he was somehow not the same and I was afraid the cold did something bad. The next day at the vet, I had to let him go because of a diagnosed organ failure. In tears, I felt guilty, apologized and held him in my arms until the last breath. Few months before his death I had quit eating meat. Because of him I understood that as a creature that can feel, a cow or a pig is no different than a dog.” says Pekka (vocals/guitar)

One Hidden Frame was established in the year 2002 in Lappeenranta, South East Finland, close to the Russian border. Bowing down to the direction of Bad Religion, Propagandhi and Adhesive, their main focus was to create energetic melodic punk rock, spiced with melancholy and aggression and meaningful lyrics towards a more solidary world.
 
OHF has musically moved forward all the time with 5 albums released: Time To React (2005), Comforting Illusion (2007), Giant Steps (2009), the Water Seems Inviting (2013), Harmful Content (2017) and a split 7″ with Thousand Oaks (2018). They’ve been happy to perform at Manchester Punk Festival, twice in Punk Rock Holiday and +20 countries.

(recenzija) Archgoat – Worship the Eternal Darkness (Debemur Morti)

Finska ima manju, možda manje razvikanu black metal scenu od norveške ili švedske scene, ali zato ima underground odlične bendove i projekte, koji samo čekaju otkrivanje i slušanje. Archgoat su jedni od najpoznatijih izdanaka te scene, jer su uz manje pauze na sceni od 1989. Nedavno su izdali novi album i evo, taj album stigao i u moj dvorac i moje zvučnike, da ga raspalim čim jače i glasnije. Album sadrži intro i devet pjesama. Archgoat prže svoj death black metal, za moj ukus bliži death nego black metalu, jako mračne atmosfere i old school satanic i anti kršćanskim tekstovima pjesama, himni kao što su Heavens Ablaze, All Christianity Ends ili In Extremis Nazarene. Ono što se meni sviđa kod ovog benda je da postoje ispod svega punk hardcore korijeni muzike, osamdesete hardcore punk i ona old school vibra bez simfo i inih pizdarija, samo blast, oštri i hladni rifovi i peglaj. Vokali su guturalni, kao što sam rekao više naginju death metalu od blacka. Tu i tamo ispod sve brutalnosti, čuje se i poneka melankolija melodije, tako svojstvena Fincima i njihovoj Sisu filozofiji. Osim blastova ima i sporijih kotrljajućih atmosferičnih dijelova, potkrijepljenih synth melodijama u pozadini koji daju dodatan mračniji prizvuk. Također ima jedna opaka thrash metal solaža, atipična za ovaj bend. Tko voli Archgoat voljeti će i ovaj album.

The band comments on the new single: “‘Pystyyn kuollut’ is a state of mind, filled with despair. When death whispers and tells you to rest. When a solution after another are out of your reach and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. And finally – when you can see the end of the tunnel, it disapears in blink of an eye. When everything is just black. Confront your shadow on your way to the final destination – And then.. embrace it.”
