Antipathic are American-Italian band and this is their fourth opus. These brand new four songs e.p. features brutal death metal mixed with some slamming influences, also some samples in couple of songs and even some melody in guitar work like in my personal favorite which happens to be the title song. Lyrically, band continues where they left off with their last release speaking about inevitable machine take over of the world and end of all humanity. This is not your typical brutal death metal, nor it is boring slam death metal band, this is a quality top notch four songs e.p. with blistering blast beats, moshing parts, thrash influenced fast solos and superb brutal vocalist. So go get it.
Sarneghera? are another band coming from mighty Italian underground scene. This is their new e.p. containing 4 songs. The music of this band is hard to describe. It is basically hardcore in its roots, but it also has many prog elements carefully mixed with melody and post core here and there, with also some metal/crossover outbreaks as a surprise. The lyrics are interesting and original because they are a mix of English, Italian, Spanish, French, Latin and ancient Greek and reborn in a new language called Smoothiesh. There are some fast hardcore punk parts quickly evolving into cold melody of space and than back again into anger and despair. Vocals are at times screaming angry, but most of the times they are sung melodic, but not in a snotty annoying way, but good. This is maybe a bit pretencious, but great and original hardcore opus.
Gotama Studio from Italy brought us couple of really awesome releases recently. This time it is about hardcore. Not Quite My Tempo are technical metalized hardcore from Italy and this is their debut e.p. containing four songs. Music of NQMT can be described as a mixture of metal and hardcore, leaning somehow on both sides, with technical skills and riffs in the song structures that make some song parts almost mathematically correct in playing. Vocals vary between brutal growls here and there and screaming in almost mix of anguish and sorrow, thus making atmosphere even more darkened. There are also some spoken word and emotional melodies like in awesome my favorite off this one being Clouds. Songs are named: Breathing, Clouds. Frames, Tarnished. This is a mighty debut release.
