Power of the underground scene does not lie in social network!

This week on Thursday marks the sixth anniversary of this webzine. First, I want to thank all of you who read and are supporting this webzine since its inception till this day. We fought many battles and struggles together, attended festivals, gigs, met many new bands, labels, fantastic individuals who make this wonderful underground network or scene if you wish. Through many victories and heartbreaks we kept this small town in the north of Croatia on the map of the wide world underground scene. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and hopefully we will enjoy many more years and conquests together!

Second, this anniversary marks the beginning of a new era for this webzine, marking its return where it was spawned and meant to be, deeper in the underground and not in the spotlight of social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and similar. As I stated above, power of the underground scene lies in individuality, creativity, imagination, creating a lot with little or nothing and still being the opposition to the usual and so called normal lifestyle. I am sick of social media, I am sick of people in the scene counting likes and clicks and who liked their posts and above all, I am sick of people watching gigs through mobile phones, posting their selfies to the social media during gig and watching how many likes are there and somehow all got lost in that shit.

This zine has a Facebook page which serves as a media between zine and people but it is useless. I do not care how many is the reach, how many people liked my post, because rarely someone opens the feature and actually reads it, they only click like and I really couldn´t care less about that. Also, there are stupid rules, stupid commentaries, stupid themes and music and ideas of the underground got lost in snowflakes, useless groups, liking, manic clicking and I am sick of that.

So, to conclude, Kraykulla Webzine is returning to underground and I will no more post features from zine to Kraykulla Fb page nor any other social media. Who wants to contact me can easily do that through mail address of this zine in the contact section of Kraykulla Webzine. Of course, bands, labels, partners and friends can share the material on their social media if they want, but I will not share it on this zine´s social media and I am abandoning that idea because I still believe in music, ideas, scene and not this insanity.

This also goes for my other webzine, namely North From Northern. Thank you so much and I will continue with this zine even stronger, you know where you can read the posts and find me. No more social media and social network, power of underground is stronger than that!

1befbc17-8b7d-a928-ed7d-2ab8682426a1

Italian hardcore band Total Recall are finally releasing today their first studio album entitled Always Together via the Australian label 1054 Records.

Always Together has been recorded at the SPVN Studio, under the supervision of producer Stefano “Orkid” SantiCripple Bastards, Forgotten Tomb, Hiss from the Moat -.

The record is made up of 9 tracks of condensed powerful energy ready to explode, that will make you want to headbang, scream and mosh with your friends.

Stef, guitarist, declares: “Hey folks. our debut album is officially out now and forever. We have waited almost one year and a half to share these 9 jams with all of you. We worked harder, played harder thinking of our fallen brother Massi. Thanks to Peter at 1054 Records and Rising Nemesis Records for unleashing it to the world. If you like downtuned metallic riffage, this one’s for you!

In the previous months, the album was anticipated by the release of two singles, Poison Flow and Seas Of Illusion, in rotation worldwide on radio stations and Spotify playlists.

The performance videos demonstrate how Total Recall are able to bring raw and raging energy on stage, ready to mesmerize the audience.

Always Together is a sonic wrecking ball that will leave you bloodied and beaten, yet utterly exhilarated. An uncompromising collection of chunky, metallic, machine-gunning riffs, groovy bass and the hardest of post-hardcore sensibilities. A fitting antidote to all those annoying smiley summer tunes.The Razors Edge

Total Recall was formed in March 2019 by experienced musicians with 20+ years of touring experience in the Metal Hardcore scene who worked with established producers such as Logan MaderMachine Head, Soulfly – among others throughout their career.
