(record review) DAGGER THREAT-Gestaltzerfall(BDHW Rec)

Leave a comment

Germany has one of the best hardcore scenes in the world and every day new bands come out. This time I reviewed the debut full length by Dagger Threat, out with BDHW Records.

These guys are from Hamburg and were formed in 2016. After two ep-s, it is time for their debut full length to see the light of the day. The music is a crossover between modern hardcore and metal with a lot of breakdowns, metalic mosh parts, but also catchy hardcore roots underneath it all. The album contains 11 songs and I would call it brutal hardcore. The album is varied and it does not get boring. I love the aggression of Twist And Turns, the calm piano intermezzo of Treatment giving the record atmospheric and kinda mystic vibe too. Dystopia is for me the best song on the record with awesome interplay between brutal and clean vocals added to cool guitar riffs. The lyrics are in English and they are more personal about fighting your own inner demons, but there is also social criticism too. This is a great record for all the fans of modern and brutal hardcore.

7,5/10

Italian hardcore-metal act NEXT TIME MR. FOX has announced the release of their debut album “Sunken City”, who will be available in digital and physical version on April 26th. Recorded/mixed at Wavemotion Recording Studio and with two guest appearance, the new album is an impressive step ahead for the quintet, as explained by them: “‘Sunken City’ is an experiment by Next Time Mr. Fox band releasing this first album. In these 12 tracks we can find a lot of metal music influences: from metalcore – the pure band genre – to southern metal, guitars rhythms plays stolen from djent, hardcore open chords verses, evil thrash metal riffs who leave room to melodic sounds, deadly deathcore breakdowns alternate with slow beatdown/downtempo breakdowns. Screams and growls always dominate the tracks, nevertheless the band shows versatility also on the singing point of view, including melodic vocals, with the presence of Gabriele Catoni from Let Them Fall (clean vocals) and Mattia Maffioli from Drown In Sulpuhr (screams and growls) on two songs. Intriguing to note the ending of different tracks who report similar sounds, those sounds are some of the “unexplained sounds” detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), used as enrichment to the meaning of the album. Breaks, stop’n’go, despair times and always a catchy taste are the keys who Next Time Mr. Fox used to link the old and the new school of metal music, with big basic ethics”.
