This is a bit older release, but Zegema Beach Records released it and thankful to that awesome label, here we have it to listen and enjoy great music of Nuvolascura. This California based band plays a mixture of mathcore, screamo, straightforward hardcore punk with post hardcore influences thrown in the song structures here and there. There are 11 songs on this record. The whole structure and atmosphere of the songs is very darkened with a little or no way out from the today situation of despair and sadness. At least that is what I feel while listening to the record. Some calmer, acoustic atmospheric parts of the song only pave the way towards more destruction and total screaming catharsis. If you are a fan of such hardcore music, try this one, you will not regret it!
Senza are from Oregon and this record contains 12 songs of crushing, desperate, noisy darkened hardcore punk out with Zegema Beach Records. Okay, maybe it is better to call it screamo or to call it black metal mixed with hardcore I am not certain. All I know is that I like this record very much. Nervous, noisy riffs, blastbeating drums and also some math core parts with energetic beat changes, make this record a keeper. But, what is most important are vocals which are one of the best I have heard in such bands, screaming apocalyptic at the top of the lungs with guttural grunt thrown here and there for good measure. The lyrics deal with personal issues, battling your own demons, hopelessness, sadness, emotional self…This record shows the other side of hardcore, dark side which can also be very beautiful if you find courage to dare look into the abyss. Try this one.
Drei Affen are coming from Spain and they play an interesting mixture of screamo, punk and hardcore. There are 6 songs on this record out with Zegema Beach Records. The overall atmosphere on the record is darkened, with melancholic, sad melodic overtones in the guitars, nervous riffs, blast fast drumming parts and superb screaming vocals which add to the damnation effect of this record. The songs lyrics are in Spanish language so I really can not understand what are they about, but the music speaks for itself. If you are into some apocalyptic darkened screaming emotional hardcore, this one is the right one for you. Recommended songs: Como Un Mar Violento, El Ultimo Aliento.
