Swedish crust punkster Adrestia are proud to present their new video for the track “Rise Up” (feat. Nastya Palamar), taken from “The Wrath Of Euphrates” out via Wormholedeath / The Orchard / Wormholedeath USA.

Statement:

“Rise Up is a song about breaking up traditional gender roles and fighting stereotypical and oppressive views on femininity and masculinity. Society’s expectations on us as individuals is a heavy weight to carry for those who doesn’t fit into the stereotypical roles. Since we are products of a patriarchal system, we are part of the problem too. The truth is, we don’t know who we would have been, or what we would have become if we would have had access to the whole spectrum of what is traditionally seen as male or female interests, clothes, playthings, feelings and ways of self expression. The least we can do is to try our best to make sure that kids of future generations are able to shape their identity without these boundaries”.

(record review) Jazzbrunch-S/T (Zegema Beach Records)

Sweden´s Jazzbrunch have a 7 inch e.p. out with Zegema Beach Records. It is a good one. This band combines darkened hardcore, emo, screamo and post hardcore/post metal overtones in their music. There are two songs on this seven inch e.p. both having different and special atmosphere. They both have a lot of sombre and sad melody, countered with tortured screaming vocals, atmospheric parts equal amount of catchy melody which makes you sad, aggression and noise. Idiocracy is a more straight forward songs with more aggression in the sound, while An Invitation to an Enormous Disappointment is my favorite being complex ode to darkness, hauntings of the soul and how to survive everyday onslaught of your personal demons. A great record indeed!

(record review)Nionde Plagan-Reflektion(Zegema Beach Records)

Nionde Plagan are hardcore/screamo/punk band from Sweden and I listened and reviewed for our zine their new release out via Zegema Beach Records

cover

The guys from Jonkoping play their vision of hardcore mixed with screamo and punk influences. That means dissonant, almost sad vibe on this record with a lot of mid tempo atmospheric passages and emotional outbursts of energy. This record contains 8 songs and as I can hear they are all sung in Swedish, so I don´t understand the lyrics, but no matter, sometimes music speaks for itself instead of words. The vocals are harsh, often screamed, but they fit perfectly in noisy, yet melodic guitar work, coupled with smart arrangements in the drum and bass section of the band. This could be very nice experience watching and hearing this band play live. I hope I will one day soon. 15 to 20 years ago, I would discard this music as bullshit thinking only nyhc is real and if you are not tough, you are not into hardcore. But, being tough is living your life the best you can and dealing with problems the best you can and staying alive. So, hardcore is something else. This record is great. Recommended songs: Rex, Maskinerna, Diskrepans.
