(review) Lost Issue- Rage It (Nothing But A Nightmare)

a3946184898_10

Now, this band is a real discovery. Lost Issue are playing basically hardcore punk and this is their four song e.p. But, they mix the fast hardcore punk with melody of horrorpunk and skatepunk, but also with goth and streetpunk influences, thus making one damn fine record with fast music, angry yet melodic vocals and anthemic choruses just made for singing along.

My personal favorites on this record are Lost Issue and Mechanical Hate, being fast almost streetpunk songs with attitude, balls and brains in the songwriting. But, Fire Away and Now That You´re Gone are also superb songs. I am so glad I discovered this one. Can´t wait for the full record.

(review) ZOMBIESUCKERS-HUNT YOU DOWN

a3873335145_10

Halloween and that special time of the year is close, so more and more horrorpunk is featured on the pages of this zine. This time, our Sweden favorite horrorpunk band Zombiesuckers delivered their new e.p.

Everyone who loves horrorpunk will find here what they are looking for. That means ultra melodic yet harsh punk riffs backed by clever use of keyboards that add to the atmosphere of old school horror movies, lots of ooohs and aaahs for singing along to backing vocal harmonies and some nice metal influences in guitar riffs and last but not least, gore soaked lyrics filled with horror.

The vocals are superb, avoiding the trap that some young horrorpunk bands do, that being bad clones of Danzig˙s voice, no, this guy sings with such superb voice being fantastic part of the songs. My personal favorites of these five songs are the title song, Hotel and Demons.

Fantastic, like we are used to from this horror from the north!

(review) Aezoth-eulogy to nothing(undead artists records)

Eulogy To Nothing_CoverDigital

Aezoth are from Germany and this is their new release that I got from the excellent label Undead Artists Records

This debut album of Aezoth contains 12 songs. This is basically horrorpunk, yet with a touch of sludge, doom and death rock, even gothic rock. These guys are mixing many genres but they do is fantastically. The melodies of the songs are just fantastic. The voice of the singer is for sure one of the best girl vocals I have heard in the scene for the last couple of years. The songs are dramatic, atmospheric, like phenomenal A Lonely Night Of Loss And Doubt, also superb punkrock uptempo Feed The Poor Eat The Rich. The titles to the songs contain a bit black humour and irony like Selfdissecting Zombie or Anecdote About A Lost Body also the title song which is one of the top three songs for me on this record. This is a fantastic debut album, so go try this one. If you like drama, esoteric melodies, horror and punk with goth sombre kinda sad vibe, this is the right one for you.
