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.

They decided to form this band to honour the memory of a lost friend who toured with them for 15+ years, getting back in the game with a low tuned blend of Metallic Groovy Hardcore with strong Post Hardcore influences, Total Recall went public on January 12th 2020.

(review) Rot – Punxombie

a0770612278_10

ROT were already featured on the pages of this zine. This Mexican horror punk entity released new e.p. and it is upon us. This is the first full band e.p. and it contains 6 songs, one being intro. Lyrics are in English language and this is a clear step up in quality of songwriting and material. Music of ROT is pure raw and untamed horror punk full of gore, irony, horror and zombies. Songs like Punxombie, Skate Zombies and As We Roam are personal favorites of mine. Guitars are raw, diy and present the energy of punk, vocals are also screamed, shouted but also melodic. Love this one. Go support! Can´t wait for other material.

(review) Authority Zero – Ollie Ollie Oxen Free

cover

Zero Crew are back with new album and it is a full length bomb. Authority Zero are for sure one of the best live bands in the punk rock scene nowadays, so much energy, so much epic moments. After an excellent e.p. serving as kind of announcement for the new record, this time there are 13 songs mixing melodic hardcore, punk, reggae and ska in one epic and energetic bomb. The title song is a hit, I listened to it on previous e.p. and now for ten times in a row, such uplifting chorus and emotion in one song. Also The Good Fight, The Back Nine, Don´t Tear Me Down featuring guest performance by none other than Jim Lindberg of Pennywise are hits not to be missed and becoming instant Zero evergreens. Also, there is a guest performance by Igari Shuhei of HEY-SMITH on Ear To Ear, also being one of my personal favorites. This is probably one of the top three Authority Zero releases in the history of this excellent band. My recommendation.
