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.
No Sanctuary from Pamplona just released their new record. The thing about this band is they sound pretty original and different from other clicheed classical d-beat hardcore punk bands. No, they rather choose another way, mixing crust hardcore punk with darker elements of Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, sludge and experiments of Amebix. This record contains 7 songs that are maybe a bit longer in duration but in no way boring. I love the dark atmosphere, slow rolling of drums in doom parts, the vocals ranging from shouting, chanting, almost gothic melodic singing, screaming and whispering. Also, I love when band uses samples in their music, No Sanctuary use samples very smart in their song structures thus making songs even richer with thick atmosphere. The lyrics are in English and in Spanish, from great ode to John Carpenter and VHS era(He Lives) to horror(Curse of the Werewolf) and for me the best song on this record, epic The Weaver in the Vault being Lovecraftian in atmosphere and lyrics. This is truely one of underground´s gems so go listen to this one.
