(news – punk rock) The Dead Krazukies to release new heavy anthem ‘Captain Crust’ on May 12 – New album ‘From The Underworld’ coming in Summer

The Dead Krazukies release new single ‘Captain Crust’ on May 12
– the band from France shows new nuances in their music with a heavy hitting mid-tempo song.

Hossegor. A singalong choir, mid-tempo almost hard rock beats are not what is very typical for the melodic-skate punk band The Dead Krazukies. Nevertheless ‘Captain Crust’ is as heavy as can be and such a powerful melodic track that will leave every listener impressed by the broad spectrum of the band’s sound. In addition the scratchy yet extremely powerful voice of singer Maider makes The Dead Krazukies kind of the Powermetal of Punkrock.

‘Captain Crust’ will be released digitally on May 12 with a video coming a few days later!

About The Dead Krazukies:
Think Pennywise, Rise Against and a bit of Anti-Flag and you’ve got The Dead Krazukies! Since 2010, the band from Hossegor brings out a concentrate of catchy melodic punk, raw energy and 90’s surf and skate culture.

In 2016, their first self-produced album, ‘The Northern Belle’ was a great success and directly established the group in the European skatepunk scene. After a lot of shows and festivals, they end up in 2019 opening for the Punk in Drublic Festival with legendary Bad Religion and NOFX on the French date of the event.

In November 2020, the band released ‘Icarus’ during the pandemic through SoundSpeed Records (USA), SBAM Records (Europe) and Punk&Disorderly (Canada).  The album was a hit and became quickly sold-out.

Fueled by troubled times, the frustration of not touring and the musical path already initiated by Icarus, The Dead Krazukies is back with a brand new piece of raging tunes, ‘From the Underworld’ which release is due June 16 2023 through SBAM Records and Kicking Records.

The 10 songs, mixed by Christian Carvin and mastered by Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room, oscillate between So-Cal Punk Rock and Old School Metal with no fear to explore new territories.

At the same time surprising and bold, From The Underworld won’t leave you indifferent. The Dead Krazukies intends to defend this album on stage and take everything in its wake.

Reviews

(review) Home Conflict – ‘Igre Riječi i Kolo Sreće’

Leave a comment

Time for another band from our homeland scene, namely Home Conflict, who are no strangers to the pages of this webzine. This band is based in capital of Croatia, Zagreb and they just released their third album. They had some line-up changes compared to first two albums and other main difference is that this time whole album is written in Croatian language. First two albums were melodic punk par excellence, reminding me a bit of Overflow, but this one is also different. Home Conflict play more harsher melodic hardcore side of things on these five new songs. Carefully chosen first single called ‘Oprost’ (Forgiveness) is personal song but can be also understood as political between the lines. Vocals on the album as a whole are perfect, angry when need be, melodic and gentle when need be. I also love harsher speed of ‘Igre Riječi'(Word Games), talking a bit more angry about friendship and second chances to which all of us can relate to. My personal favorite is ‘Kolo Sreće'(Wheel of Fortune) featuring guest vocals by great singer Petra Ivković, whose voice interplays perfectly with energy of the song and main vocal lines and backing vocal harmonies. The main fault and only fault of this album is being too short, having too few songs and listening to over and over again, making you hungry and wish for more and more. I would love to witness these songs performed live, I am sure this band’s live show is a blast of hardcore energy and melody! Omča(The Noose) and Dobre namjere(Good Intentions) deliver such positive impact on me making this one of the best releases in Croatian scene this year!

(new single/video) Fearout releases fast-paced metal punk song with heavy lyrics!

Leave a comment

Helsinki-based Fearout releases new ’Resistenza’ EP as a follow up for their Bleedthrough (Inverse 2021) debut album. ‘Resistenza’ is released on May 5th 2023 by Inverse Records. New EP will expand band’s repertoire to punk rock, but band still combines their rough-edged metal rock with stoner influences. The second single ‘The End of the World’ is a breathtakingly fast-paced metal punk song with heavy lyrics about the state of the world. 

LISTEN The End of the World single: https://push.fm/fl/fearout-the-end 

This one is written after the war had started in spring 2022 and the theme and atmosphere is pretty grim. The song lists atrocities done by humans in 20th century. And since we refuse to learn anything from the past, we keep on repeating until we actually will cause the end of the world. This is probably the fastest song we’ve ever written, says lead vocalist Justus.
