Vivienne are hailing from Mantova, Italy and this is their new record. The title of the record means ghosts in Japanese mythology and those are souls of the deceased who can not leave this earth and join their ancestors due to sudden death or strong emotions. This record has strange mystical vibe while listening. There are six songs on this record, with lyrics in Italian language, I don`t understand them, but as I can get a little Italian, I believe the lyrics are deeply personal with the theme of life, death and exploring the afterlife. The music is punk/post hardcore, with intense bass melodies, sometimes noise influenced song structures and shouted, sometimes emotionally screamed but not ugly vocals which fit perfectly into this kind of music. The songs are pretty powerful and sounding like slow rolling thunder sometimes. Good record!
Portland, Oregon`s Northlander released a new record with Facedown Recordsand it is a real treat having it to listen and review it for our zine. This record contains 14 songs of atmospheric hardcore mixed with post punk and even noise post metal elements in some song parts. The music is melodic, yet enough aggressive to be hardcore and enough emotional to be post punk spacy emo music. The vocals vary from screamed parts to cleanly sung melodic lines and fit perfectly to the music. There are no fillers or boring parts on this record whatsoever. The music is heavy yet melodic, dreamy yet nightmarish and catchy but also complicated, hard to explain. One of the better records that I have listened to for last couple of months.
