Remember Eva Ras? I recently reviewed the first part of the double concept e.p. for this zine and here is the second half, second part of the double e.p.
This second half carries another 8 short outbursts of anger, despair, emotions and everything this kind of music should carry with. The music is a mixture of powerviolence, hardcore punk and screamo atmosphere in some song parts. This is all very short, lyrics being a mixture of political and personal, some in Serbian langauge, some in English with screeching vocals, nervous guitars and gutwrenching blasting speed drums in most songs, all being under ten minutes duration for the whole e.p. This one is even better than the first one. The song that I somehow love the most is What is nothing?. Nice one. Support your scene.
It is time to support our own regional scene here on Balkans and EVA RAS released the new record, so I listened and reviewed it for our zine. Named after famous Yugoslav actress, painter and writer, this band plays darkened emotional hardcore mixed with powerviolence. There are 6 songs on this record and it represents the first half of a double e.p. The songs are short, in your face like they were supposed to be, chaotic yet beautiful in that chaos, giving away primal simplicity of decay, degradation and accepting the inevitable in fighting and recognising your inner self, your flaws and your virtues. The lyrics are in English and I can find myself in most of the songs, so it was really a pleasure to listen to this record.
There are 13 songs on this record, some being instrumentals serving as an intermezzo in all the chaotic storm of Carrion Spring´s music. The music of this band could be described as very dark hardcore with screaming vocals and overall apocalyptic atmosphere. When I am listening to this band, I feel like I am watching the fall of the system and the world ending in a painful throes screaming. Hardcore punk mixes with screamo, even blastbeats in some song structures with a pinch of sludge and powerviolence added in for good measure.
The soundtrack to the apocalypse is here and it is called Carrion Springs, so go get this record if you are a fan of darkened hardcore. Recommended songs: God Damage, Anthropos, Carrion Spring.
