(review) Scott Free-Whats This World Coming To?(Broken Sound Tapes)

cover

Originally released in 1985.this tape by Scott Free was the tape by first punk band in Myrtle Beach, South California. Broken Sound Tapes are rereleasing this jewel on tape and I must say, all thanks to them because otherwise this underground punk gem would lay forgotten for the new generations of punks and no one would know. We get 11 songs of political hardcore punk. The music is old school hardcore punk in the vein of all Cali punk bands of that time with Circle Jerks and Dead Kennedys coming to mind first. From the straightforward hardcore punk of All In The Family to catch melodic riff of Tuesday In November these guys deliver energy and we can surely say that this record had withstood the test of time. There are also some weirder sounding noisy songs like Bread And Water with that sharp noisy riff guitar main line. One more reggae influenced song is Sleep sounding like a crossbreed between Madness and Black Flag. In all, this is an artifact of time and a testimony to one of the undiscovered jewels of underground hardcore punk scene.

(review) Calabrese-Flee The Light

2019 - Flee The Light

It is time for horrorpunk to grace the pages of this zine again. It has been four years since Calabrese, one of my favorite horrorpunk bands released last album called Lust For Sacrilege. That album marked a bit darker and grittier, heavier side of things for the three brothers of whom this band consists.

The new record contains 11 songs. The music is horrorpunk in basic, but you won˙t find here no third rate Fits rehash, but something original, a unique sound that Calabrese developed through the years of existence. Old songwriting craftship is still here, with songs like He Who Flees The Light or Demonspitter sounding old school Calabrese with a bit of noise and nervousness thrown in the song structures. The other thing that I love about them how they developed dark and somehow almost metal and gothic influences in the slower songs like King Prowler for example making the record interesting and diverse. The interesting and original thing is also that they recorded videos for all the songs from this record, so check em out on YouTube in the order as the record songs go. Maybe some songs are not anthemic as the old ones like Pleasures Of Evil being for me one of the best on the album combining harsh darkness with melodic chorus. Maleficis Visibilis serves as a kind of intro for malicious things to come hehe with synth melodic being done reminding me of all the favorite 80-ies horror flicks. Bobby and Jimmy interplay excellently with their vocal lines creating a interwoven net of haunted melodies. The last third of the album climaxes in fantastic songs like All The Devils In Hell and superb End Of Time At The Gates Of Hell. This is by far the most complex and most diverse Calabrese record and it is fantastic!
