The music of Malevich can`t be put into one box, quite the contrary. Thanks to Zegema Beach Records, we are now able to listen to this fine record and enjoy the heaviness, of this band. If one thing holds true for this band is the heaviness. The triple vocals ranging from guttural to screaming and hardcore shouting, a mixture of darkened hardcore, sludgecore and screamo is sure to delight your black heart and take you on the journey to musical underground dwellings of majestic blackness. This nine songs vary from atmospheric, slower to pure aggression and almost grindcore intensity with a sick mixture of longer songs and slower miniature serving like calm between greater storms. This one is a keeper if you love your hardcore heavy and different!
New York hardcore legends Cro-Magsare back with a new seven inch e.p. out with Victory Records. There are three songs on this record the title track featuring Phil Campbell of Motorhead. I am sure Harley and the boys loved it. I am glad that all of the court unpleasentries and gossips are over and Cro-Mags are stronger than ever with Harley enjoying second youth delivering mindblowing gigs all over the world. For me, the best song on this e.p. is PTSD reminding me a lot of Best Wishes hits although I am not some nostalgic motherfucker who listens and wants only old material, on the contrary both new e.p.-s are superb, musicianship is tight and hardcore energy is present greater than ever. Between Wars is an atmospheric, kinda dark and longer song, more complex than the aformentioned two, it shows how capable this band is to create great songs. Go check out this one, hardcore still lives! Love it!
Lionheart are from California and this is their seventh album. These pioneers of metalic hardcore/crossover deliver 10 songs of no holds barred, relentless hardcore with roots in street smartness and concrete jungle survival instinct. The music is modern hardcore with brutal grooves, moshing parts, yet also some catchy guitar riffs and angry, sing along shouted vocals that fit perfectly to the music. Check out the title song for which a video was made, or fantastic Rock Bottom featuring guest Jesse Barnett, also When I Get Out if you want to feel tour de force of modern hardcore with guts, grit and glory. I am sure this band sounds fantastic live and I will definitely check them out. This one is a sure winner.
