(review) Ratos De Porao – Necropolitica (FOAD Records)

Leave a comment

Brazilian hardcore punk legends are back with new album out recently. This time, they deliver 10 songs of furious and fast hardcore punk with some thrash elements, crossover that they retained throughout all their decades although experimenting at times with groove and crust punk d-beat. Vocalist Gordo sounds like in the old times, I did not like his growling on some previous albums, but he is back with his hardcore thrash shouting. Music is angry energetic bomb of hardcore fury, thrash metal vigour and political stance with songs like Alerta Antifascista , Pasa Pano pra Elite or Necropolitica sure to become live action favorites also listening favorites. There are couple of really awesome melodic hooks here and there coupled with catchy solo here and there then returning back to more hardcore anger and lyrics shouted in Portugese. This is definitely one of top five RDP albums in my opinion.

Dead Dog Summer released a new video for ‘Diamonds and Thorns’!

Leave a comment

Croatian post-hardcore band Dead Dog Summer is announcing their collaboration with Geenger Records with the first single and video for ‘Diamonds and Thorns’ from their debut album ‘A Place of Someday’, which will be released in September this year.

The band recorded the material in their own rehearsal space, and Ivan Jakić from the Kut Sobe studio was taking care of the mix and master. The video was shot in the club Prostor in their hometown Čakovec, and Alex Drvenkar, better known as Air Alex, was in charge of filming and editing.

‘Diamonds and Thorns’ is a story about taking things and people for granted and denying the reality we live in, about constantly spinning around and waiting for things in life to improve on their own, and the fear that holds us back from taking the first step to happiness. 

Dead Dog Summer is a relatively young band on the Croatian scene, founded in late 2020, and band members are Igor Bistrovic on vocals and guitar, Kreso Zerjav on bass and vocals, and Boris Strahija on drums.The band is currently preparing a promo tour for the fall of 2022, which should cover Croatia and surrounding countries.

The song and the video is available on all streaming platforms via Geenger Records.–> https://geenger.link/deaddogsummer-diamondsandthorns

(review) Terror – Pain Into Power

Leave a comment

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!
