SERRUCHO are hailing from Huelva, Spain and this is the new opus containing five songs, one being cover by Coronados. The music of Serrucho is not easy to describe, it is a mixture of hardcore punk, powerviolence, grindcore with some metal influences in the song structures here and there. Vocals are screaming and occasionally growling, fitting perfectly in the songs, with lyrics in Spanish language. What I love the most is continuation of some epic melodies throughout the songs, beneath all the brutality there is also lots of epic guitar work and hooks, thus making this music not another boring grindcore band. My personal favorites of five songs are ‘Te Jiede La Boca A Mocos De Cono’ and ‘3 Vomitos 3 Ejecuziones 3 Muertes’. I also love the clever use of samples and the horror atmosphere in some of the songs. Go listen to this one if you love bands like this one.
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.
