Atomic Punk Rock Powerhouse ELUKAS Drops “Vein” Official Video!

Prepare for a sonic explosion as punk rock discovery Elukas drops the official video for “Vein.” This power-packed track is part of their EP “Loomad Koos,” scheduled for re-release through Wormholedeath.In their music video “Vein”, the band showcased an unwavering DIY spirit, working with a short budget. The video’s direction was skillfully handled by their bassist, Alan, who was eager to explore his talents as a music video director. Impressively, all the daring stunts featured in the video were executed by their nearly-semiprofessional stuntman, who also happens to be the band’s lead vocalist, Karl.The song itself delves into the theme of addiction, and the band wanted to convey that message visually in the video. Even if the lyrics might not be crystal clear to all their listeners, Elukas hopes the video tells the story in a powerful and visual way.
Experience the punk-rock revolution as Elukas unleashes “Vein” on the world.
ELUKAS
In the fall of 2021, Elukas began as a 5-member punk-rock band with a focus on creating their own music. They played their first concert on March 25, 2022. In May, they recorded 3 singles at Sinusoid Studio and held a writing camp at the drummer’s summer house. In late summer, their original bass player left, and singer Karl took on bass duties. In the fall of 2022, they released three singles at monthly intervals. “Ajurünnak” gained recognition on RockFM and Raadio2. Due to an injury, Alan filled in on bass and later joined permanently. In February, the band recorded their debut EP “Loomad Koos”. The single “Vein” (April 7, 2023) made it to the top 5 best new rock songs by RockFM listeners. Most recently, Elukas graced the stage at the Barbar Feast 2023 festival, where they kicked off the event as the opening act. They also rocked the crowd at the Heavy Music Estonia Showcase Day 2023.

(review) Abergaz – ‘Dihotomija zbilje’

Jednu stvar se mora priznati Sonji, ona nikada ne odustaje. Ovo je već tko zna koji po redu album njenog projekta odnosno benda Abergaz, koji je, koliko vidim opet bend koji se sastoji od dvoje članova ako se ne varam. Na ovom novom izdanju nalazi se osam pjesama u prepoznatljivom brzom i britkom hardcore punk stilu. Tekstovi su buntovni, Sonja izražava što njoj smeta u današnjem društvu, a tematike ima podosta. Iako se radi o ponekim minimalističkim skoro haiku tekstovima, kada se čita između redova ima smisla ono o čemu se pjeva. Pjesme poput ‘EU projekti’ su brze male ode onom o čemu Sonja razmišlja. Postoje i minimalističke pjesme poput ‘Mobitel’, a moj osobni favorit na ovom albumu je ‘Malo Govno’ koje završava album u velikom stilu. Vokali se razlikuju od melodičnog pjevanja do skoro maničnog vikanja, ovisno o tome što je pjesmi potrebno. Pjesme su sve uglavnom brze sa tupa tupa bubnjevima što meni odgovara i to jako. Ovo nije najbolje izdanje Abergaza, ali je sigurno jedno od boljih u zadnjih nekoliko godina.

(review) Total Chaos – ‘Mind Warfare’

Legendary street punks Total Chaos are back with their new studio full length album and it is a blast! There are 12 songs on this beauty and while it is not ferocious as first two albums ‘Pledge Of Defiance’ or ‘Patriotic Shock’ back in the days it blew me away how brutal and harsh this album is. There is trademark harsh vocals by singer Rob Chaos who founded this band in 1989, so next year there will be 35th birthday for these guys. Considering the music, Total Chaos play street punk, mainly fast and strong with some punk rock mid tempo anthems thrown in for good measure like ‘No Peace In The City’, but for me real beauties of this album are fast street punk anthems like ‘Street Punx’, ‘Rise Up’ or ‘I Will Not Break’. This band plays hardcore punk but there are some blistering almost thrash metal influenced guitar solos courtesy of guitarist Shawn Smash, so I think the ideal tour pack for Total Chaos would be The Exploited, The Casualties, Acidez and similar bands. Lyrics deal with war, pollution, staying strong, street life, against nationalism….so all the right themes in the right places. This is not their best album, but I would put it right there above between top three albums after above mentioned first two albums. Great album by legendary band!
