The Slime are relatively new band based in Toronto, Canada, although all of the members come from different sides of the world. I am really glad to discover great new bands and this one is no different. This new release contains 7 songs of hardcore punk mayhem, with fast and nervous music, angry screaming vocals and discordant and almost noisy feel in some of the song structures. But, there is also a little bit of subtle melody in some of the songs, which I love very much. I love how they used Vincent Price sample in Life of Agony, one of my favorites on this record. Songs are short, hit you square in the face with old school hardcore punk speed and ferocity, my personal favorites are a bit rock influenced title song, before mentioned Life of Agony and Look and See, damn that is half of this short record. Can´t wait for further released, this one is a keeper!

(review) DAWNBRINGER – BETRAYED

Leave a comment

ARTWORK

Dawnbringer are hailing from Italy, based in Cagliari and were formed in 2019 after members have been playing in other bands in the scene. This is their debut e.p. and it contains 6 songs. The music of Dawnbringer can be described as slower and more beatdown metalic brutal hardcore with growled and screamed, almost death metal like vocals, aggressive mosh and metal riffs, hardcore attitude and lots of stop and go breakdowns. Now, usually this is not my cup of tea, because I love more punk rooted hardcore music and street punk influenced old school hardcore, but this is actually not bad. It is executed well and this is pretty strong debut e.p. and it strikes me with songs like Betrayed and Point of no return. If you are a fan of such hardcore this is the right one forya.

Returning from the band’s first European tour and with Colton Siegmund as the new drummer in their team, Drip-Fed set up a studio in their own place exactly one year ago and recorded their new album with guitarist Chris Skiles as the main producer. To give some final magic touches to the sound, they had Kill The Buzz mixed by Beau Burchell (Saosin, The Bled, Moose Blood) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Touché Amoré, Torche).

Move Right Through Me is the first single off of Kill The Buzz and it kicks right in where the band’s self-titled album had ended. Kicking in with a hard knocking drum rhythm, followed by pissed vocals, heavy as well as fuzzy guitar sections and a groovy bass, the song delivers the perfect amount of power hardcore-punk fans need.

Lyrically, Move Right Through is about “moving through life in a haze. Spending each day in such a fog that the human experience isn’t fully felt and the passing time doesn’t mean shit” as singer Jeff Blum says, who wrote the song sitting in a laundromat.

Kill The Buzz will be released March 26th, through I.Corrupt.Records in Europe and Head2Wall Records in the US. Pre-Orders for vinyl and CD are available from www.icorruptrecords.com and www.head2wallrecords.com.
