As Autumn slowly dies, closes and makes way for winter, Zegema Beach Recordsdoes their best to provide their best releases of the year so far. One of such is the record by Italian band called STORM{O}
This record contains 12 songs of classic chaotic school of Italian hardcore mixed with screamo, mathcore and synth here and there to add to the vibe and heaviness of the record. The lyrics are in Italian. The drums are merciless, the bass is trembling like machine gun and at first it all sounds very confusing. Afterwards, you realize that there is order and perfect timing in all that chaos and the things begin to sit in their place. This album is a perfect soundtrack for tortured soul and blackened heart. The faster more straightforward hardcore punk songs are mixed with almost blastbeats but there is subtle melody beneath blastbeats like in fantastic Tempi Morti. This is another superb album from the rich Italian underground scene.
Delaware`s trio A Paramount, A Love Supreme delivered their goods in shape of this 4 songs e.p. thanks to Zegema Beach Records. The music of this band can be described as screaming hardcore punk, but still having a lot of melodic guitar riffs and thunderous bass with even some sludge thrown in here and there as I hear it. The songs provide nice darkened atmospheric landscape as if you are traveling through the soundtrack of your tired and broken heart somehow. Of the four songs, the one that somehow stood out to me is Overshot being an anthem of pain and despair and varying from aggressive to calm and back again. This is a beautiful record.
The music of Malevich can`t be put into one box, quite the contrary. Thanks to Zegema Beach Records, we are now able to listen to this fine record and enjoy the heaviness, of this band. If one thing holds true for this band is the heaviness. The triple vocals ranging from guttural to screaming and hardcore shouting, a mixture of darkened hardcore, sludgecore and screamo is sure to delight your black heart and take you on the journey to musical underground dwellings of majestic blackness. This nine songs vary from atmospheric, slower to pure aggression and almost grindcore intensity with a sick mixture of longer songs and slower miniature serving like calm between greater storms. This one is a keeper if you love your hardcore heavy and different!
