Ett Dödens Maskineri from Sweden release their new record with Suicide Records. This record contains 5 songs of hardcore/crust punk done in Swedish style, meaning d-beat topped with some melodic parts in the guitar riffs. But, there are also some atmospheric mid tempo parts like in superb Dodens Maskineri which is for sure one of the best songs on this record. You can hear old school Swedish crust punk in the music of this band, but they also delivered something new and fresh to their sound making them very interesting to listen. The lyrics are in Swedish language, but as I read, they are about todays political situation, loss of humanity, loss of one self, rise of every day racism, fight to keep yourself sane in an insane world, so great themes. The vocals are shouted but sound somehow desperate and crazed so this is another plus for this band. Fantastic band, fantastic songs!
One of the hardest hardcore bands from East Cost, COLDSIDE are back with this little three song record out with Demons Run Amok Entertainment. This e.p. is a kind of teaser and announcement for the new full length record scheduled to come out some time in 2020. The members of Coldside played in Wardogs, Vietnom, and C.B.S/Lita Gray, so they have tons of experience in creating quality, ever evolving streetcore with a lot of metal influences, yet remaining basically true to the streetpunk and oi roots so that makes this band a keeper among tons of other hardcore bands that are out there nowadays. This is great for keeping us entertained until the full length. I can˙t wait for it to come out!
