3. WTF-034 Cover

WTF Records continues to release great records, keeping the fire of both European and worldwide hardcore burning and being strong. This time it is time for Ammo to grace the pages of this zine. Ammo are from M-Town and this is their debut full length out now. This band plays rapcore and if I must compare it to some bands it would be Biohazard, Downset, Bodycount….meaning metalized hardcore guitar riffs, grooves, aggresive street punk influenced song parts and dual rapping vocals adding to the heaviness and streetwise smartness and toughness. This is a music for going out, drink some beers with your crew and smell the streets of your town and having a nice night in the concrete jungle of your town or city. For me personal favorite is About Time having nice and catchy guitar melody in the background of the song and acoustic ending, but also the title track featuring guest vocals of German ghetto metal rapper Daniel Gun is awesome too. Daniel also provides guest vocals for Pork Chops. I am usually not an avid fan of this kind of hardcore, but this one is a powerful debut record. Go get it!

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.

Mission Two Entertainment is thrilled to announce the signing of BRAVE THE COLD to its already powerful lineage of artists. Fronted by longtime Napalm Death member Mitch Harris and Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren, BRAVE THE COLD is a two-piece formed in 2018 as the two metal conglomerates focus their energies into a new level of aggression. The culmination is Scarcity, an eleven track collection of ferociousness breathing much-needed life into the heavy metal scene of 2020. Produced by the legendary Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly), Scarcity is set for release on October 2nd, 2020.

Harris adds, “Mission Two Entertainment progressed to their next phase in the music world and they have been the most inspiring team I’ve ever worked with! They truly believe with heart and soul to push this to the highest level possible as we forge ahead in our forever altered civilization.”

BRAVE THE COLD’s glitchy, byzantine death metal doesn’t just shift gears – it whips, stutters and jumps sideways into heavyweight dimensions. The entire Scarcity theme is a well-researched, scenic debate combining Dystopian views ranging from Anti-Elite, Anti-Media, Anti-Division, Anti-Oppression, End of Days Philosophies, Post-Apocalyptic Poetry, Mind Control, Economic Instability, Educational Infiltration and Global Political Deceit that compromises our spirituality of ONE COLLECTIVE VOICE. This is a global agenda that was a long time coming. It’s a reflection on how government can create urgency out of necessity.

Scarcity hits the world on October 2, 2020.
