New Terror record is unleashed upon the world and it is a blast! Here we have 10 songs of short but sweet fast unrelenting and merciless hardcore beating and brutality. But, beneath all of the brutality Terror never forgot their roots and where they came from, so there is that street core and street punk undertone beneath all of the metallic brutality and I can safely say Terror still lean more on their punk rock roots than on metal in their songwriting, although they somehow stand in both worlds. Scott Vogel´s vocals are trademark brutal and strong, along with gang backing vocals, strong lyrics and fast hardcore, sometimes venturing into moshing metallic parts only to return to hardcore punk waters again. Songs like Can´t Let It Go, Unashamed, Can´t Help But Hate are sure to win you over. There are also some guest surprise performances like for example Corpsgrinder(Yep! Surprise!) or Todd Jones. Great bomb of an album!
Brothers and sisters at Sbäm Records never cease to amaze with superb releases coming our way almost on monthly basis. I must also admit that I have heard of NOFNOG prior to this record, but never really listened to their music, so thankful to Sbäm and this new opus, I am able to enjoy in this band and also able to listen their previous releases. NOFNOG are coming from Switzerland and have been in the scene for almost twenty years. This new opus contains twelve songs to make your hardcore heart fluffy with joy. NOFNOG play melodic hardcore with some skate punk touches here and there, throw in great, smartly written political lyrics with great street punk vibe and you get an awesome band. What I also enjoyed is vocals that are rough and almost shouted in hardcore way, but also melodic, reminding me at time of Trevor from now late, great American Werewolves in some songs. Songs like Memento Mori, Drunk Of Life, Insomnia and Go On are sure to become crowd favorites at gigs, moshing singing along and old school finger pointing. This one is a keeper and I am sorry that I didn´t listen to NOFNOG before all these years that I and them are active in the scene. But, better late than never, eh?
