(gig report)BROND(Blg)+CANINE(Fra)+SENF(Hr)-11.05.2018.-Prostor Čakovec

Prostor Čakovec je u petak navečer ugostio ovu međunarodnu kombinaciju bendova koja je sletjela u Čakovec iz razloga što je u susjednoj Lendavi zatvorena Mansarda u kojoj je trebao biti održan ovaj gig.

Pošto je bio petak, koncert nije počeo točno na vrijeme, pa se oko 22:30 domaća podrška varaždinski SENF popeo na binu i počeo svirati. Za one koji ne znaju, ovaj crossover/hardcore bend je nastao na pepelu ugaslih Rectal Destroyer i predvođeni su meni jednim od najboljih ekstremnih vokalista na ovom prostoru, neuništivim Ivdom.

Senf je prašio svoj set uglavnom u brzom tupa tupa ritmu uz poneki masni stoner riff prezentirajući materijal uglavnom sa svoja dosad dva objavljena e.p.-a. Uz ne previše riječi između pjesama, koncentrirajući se uglavnom na muziku, otprašili su i obradu Mikrofonije, a za kraj razveselili sve sa nekoliko veselih obrada Rectal Destroyera.

Nakon blage preinake i provjere setupa u svoj set krenuli su prvi gosti, a riječ je o CANINE, bendu iz Marseillea, Francuske.

Riječ je o dobroj kombinaciji francuske škole screamo hardcorea i punkrocka. Pružili su nam točno to, pola sata emocije, političke angažiranosti, pjesme s porukom i ono što me oduševilo je to, da je vokal stalno između pjesama objasnio o čemu govori iduća pjesma, a teme su bile od toga da ne treba nikada vjerovati policiji, prijateljstva, borbe protiv seksizma i patrijarhata itd…Ovi momci imaju srca na pravom mjestu i ostavili su ih na bini za nas, nažalost ne baš brojnu publiku.

Za kraj, ostali su gosti iz Bugarske, mislim da iz glavnog grada Sofije, BROND. Muzika koju ovaj bend svira teško može biti svrstana u jedan žanr.

Radi se o nekoj mješavini punkrocka, sludgea i stonera, ali ne onog dosadnog stonera, već se radi o tri vokala, masnim ali melodičnim riffovima i kotrljajućim bubnjevima koji melju sve pred sobom. Imao sam prilike popričati s dečkima iz ovog benda prije giga i super su ljudi, lijepo smo se podružili, uostalom tome gigovi i služe, nikada ne znaš kada ćeš upoznati nekog novog prijatelja/prijateljicu.

(record review)SOOM-“Djebars”(Robustfellow Prods. | Addicted Label | Voron NEST | KVLT OV Ї )

Ukraine has rich and interesting underground scene and Soom is one of the bands from that scene. They are releasing this second album via Robustfellow Productions.

Soom was founded in Kharkiv, Ukraine, at the end of 2013. Adding the weight to the first album this new album contains 10 tracks of tortured mix made out of sludge, doom, lo fi noise and hysteria. The experience of this album is total dark ride. I love New Orleans sludge scene, but the European scene brought a lot of originality in the sludge making it even more tortured, harsh and hard to listen to. This music is not for everyones ears, but I loved it. There is some Black Flagish stuff in the song structures but it quickly changes into total doom metal or noisy passages. Vocals vary from screaming, tortured singing, whispering or just spoken word. The best time to listen to this album would be Friday or Saturday night prior to going out, because you will drink yourself to death with this music.

(record review)COFFIN CAROUSEL-“Between Death&Dead”(Eclipse Records)

Coffin Carousel are coming from Australia, Melbourne. The Australian scene is great, with so many punk, hardcore and metal bands coming out nowadays.

This record came out on Eclipse Records and it contains 17 songs of dark and emotional music. Coffin Carousel play a mixture of doom metal and goth rock(more) with horrorpunk and hardcore influences(less). Lyrically they deal with some personal demons and the lyrics are very deep and not your conventional generic horror stuff, not that it is something wrong with that. While listening to this record you can actually feel the sun setting down or darkening in the sky. There is one little thing that bothered me on this record and that is the vocal lines and melodies, I think the singing could be a little bolder and with more emotions behind it on some songs, and I am sure that the singer can do it because he has an awesome voice. But, thats only me. Maybe they just wanted it this way. What I personally loved the most on this record is the feeling of coldness and nothingness in this music and the atmosphere that they managed to get on this record makes it worth listening.
