Wasteland Viper is a band from Holland and they recently released their new full length opus via Wormholedeath worldwide. This new album contains ten songs and I can say with certainty that this is a strong release and full of energy head on record with no holds barred. Wasteland Viper play a mixture of hardcore punk, heavy metal and hard rock with clean, melodic, yet not cheesy vocals that fit so great in the whole structure of the band. While listening to this record you can just feel the energy flowing through your body and you catch yourself humming along and singing to the lyrics. From fast Motorhead/hardcore punk of Overdrive, more hard rock oriented Black Snow, pure heavy metal blooded title song, to surprise in the almost doo wop oriented Different World with such superb lyrics and one of my personal favorites on this opus, this album is varied and doesn´t have one filler song or one song that will not make you smile with satisfaction and joy with discovering another great band in the vast sea that we call the underground scene.

‘WEEMOEDSKLANKEN’ (Dutch for sounds of melancholy) deals with the struggle of time and impermanence:
“Again…. yet again I awake in the dead of night, drenched in sweat. Woken by an atrocious autumn storm, pounding on the windows, begging for attention. Gloom…. The changing of the seasons seems to have become a fast repeating ritual. Irreversible. With dazzling speed we’re heading for the inevitable black beacon that marks the end of life. While my hair is gradually turning gray, the color of the world I’m immersed in. The heart transforms into the shape of cracked ground. The growing realization that there’s no grasp… No grasp on time, that’s been cruel of the ever increasing menacing world. Mother Earth’s antics indicate she’s fed up with it all. And so am I. Meanwhile, time passes by, like the parched leaves blowing against the window. The night is black and I try to fall asleep again. Tomorrow is another day…”
