(review) Cienfuegos/De Carne e Flor -split (no funeral records)

a2993315872_10

The good people of Canadian label no funeral records continue to release great hardcore and screamo stuff to bring out bands that are jewels deep in the underground and make them closer to hardcore kids.

This time is is a split release of Cienfuegos from Chile and De Carne e Flor from Brazil. Both bands are presented with two songs and Cienfuegos side of the record contains a bit longer songs, bringing up a bit atypical hardcore/screamo with lots of atmospheric parts and clever use of samples which I love when they are used in song structures. I can even hear some post hardcore in guitar work and topped with tortured vocals, music evolving into classic hardcore punk I think they are really something to listen to. The lyrics are in Spanish so, I don´t really understand what they are singing about, but the music speaks for itself.

De Carne e Flor offer shorter songs, yet more polished sound mixture of blast beats, screamo, classic hardcore punk, d beat and melodic hardcore. Yes, that is what I can hear in their songs and I love it. Both songs are sung in Portuguese if I am not mistaken, so I don´t understand the lyrics. For me, this band is a bit more of my favorite, but this is definitely another great release.

(review) to live among wolves-(Dis)honored

a1490651983_10

to live among wolves are coming from Rotterdam, Holland area and this is their new release.

There are 4 songs on this record. The music is basically hardcore punk, fast and rawer sounding in some parts, to break down to some modern hardcore moshing metalized influenced song parts, also some sludge and scream structures in the song guitar riffs and drumming can be heard here and there. The vocals are great, screaming and shouting, but also with some nice clean melodic vocals like in awesome Cursed Embrace, my favorite song on this record. But, other three are also nice dirty and raw, yet emotional and melodic piece of hardcore punk. I love this one. I am eager to see how the full length will sound like.

8/10

(review) Eva Ras-…kada odlaziš/When you leave

a0119692829_10

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.
