(record review)VARIOUS-“The quarter hour of power compilation”

This is an excellent 7 inch record compilation featuring 14 bands from St Louis area all delivering songs one minute long or less. I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

The record contains some new, some older bands all delivering previously unreleased tracks. As it usually is, some bands are better, some are not so good, depends on the personal musical taste. I personally liked the more melodic bands on this record like Horror Section, Sink the Bismark and Braddock. There is something really for everyone, from the more brutal hardcore punk of Hell Night, the new band featuring Brian Fair of Shadows Fall on the vocals or the debut of hardcore Chalked Up. I really love how this record sounds and gives us insight to the great and less known hardcore punk scene, not usually mentioned in many zines, blogs and stuff… Get this record if you can!

(record review)WOMBRIPPER-“From the depths of flesh”(Redefining Darkness Records)

I already talked about how great Russian underground scene is, and for me is always great to find some new bands from that scene and become a fan. This time I listened to the record by WOMBRIPPER and reviewed it for this webzine.

Bandcamp CD Template

I must admit that I have never heard of this band prior to this record. It contains 12 songs of utter destruction and rolling old school death metal. The song guitar structures are dirty but have some nice hidden melodies underneath like in “Rest…” and you can also feel nod to the thrash metal influences in many songs. The music is aggressive but it also has some emotion behind it, it awoke spirit of depression and despair, but also anger and willingness to fight back. You can´t go wrong with songs like “Immolation rites” and “The suicidal recreation” with all the raw and primordial magic behind the songs. This is a great old school death metal album for all the fans and an impressive debut.

This track takes you through the vast scandinavian forest, displaying its might and power as well as the beauty and stillness, by combining elements of a broad spectrum based on folk music and metal. It can be described as a miniature folk metal symphony, or the final encore of a scandinavian folk metal musical!

The release consists of a digital single and a video and is set to be released on May 18th, 2018.
