(review) Zona D’Ombra-Tensioni e Distanze
Zona D`Ombra are hailing from Como, Italy and have been around since 2011. This is their brand new record and it contains 13 songs with lyrics in Italian language.
The music of this band is fantastic old school hardcore punk, fast and furious at times, and melodic and emotional at times, bordering with skatepunk and this is one of the better records that I have listened lately. Il Cielo Sopra Kamara is the song that reminds me of my childhood and pumping fist in the air and slamming to my favorite hardcore bands. This band has so much energy in the music and Italian only helps since I think it is one of the most melodic and nice languages to sing in punk hardcore. Guitars are fine, riffs are cutting in your brain, drumming is perfect and fast, vocals fit perfectly to the song structures. I don˙t speak Italian, but judging by titles and band info, they are mixing political and personal everyday life to which we all can relate to so that is another plus. Recommended songs: Tensione, Ali Bruciate. Good hardcore album.

(review) Probation-Violate(WTF Records)
Probation are from Holland and they have a new record with WTF Records. This is an interesting record in all of the songs it contains. Why? Because the music of Probation is basically an amalgamation of all members`music tastes and influences. You get brutal and harsh hardcore punk in basic, mixed with a lot of metal and sludge punk influences. I can also here some d-beat in Unveiling The Truth for example. There are enough hardcore fast parts to fill you up with energy, but also some groove metal modern mosh parts here and there, with slowed down dirty and gritty sludge swampy parts in some song sructures. The vocals are beautiful, ranging from almost death metal like growling, angry shouting in crusty style and screaming at the top of the lungs. This is heavy hitter and I love every single of this record. Recommended songs: Finished And Done, Blood Ditch, Can˙t Stand You.
