(record review)SNIPER 66-Annihilator

Sniper 66 are hailing from Austin, Texas and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine. If you like no holds barred hardcore streetpunkrock then this one is the right one for you.

The record contains 15 songs of aggressive and explosive, yet enough anthemic and melodic streetpunk with hardcore influences. The vocals are angry, yet singing and the songs like the title song or Why´d You Have To Die just make you pump your fist high in the air and circle pit around the room and I can only imagine how awesome these guys sound live when the deliver this bombs of the songs. Rarely some album brings emotions that make my batteries full and give me strength to fight on and strive for more and keep the flame of this scene alive and well. This album is definitely one of such albums. If you like bullet belts, mohawks, fast angry punk and singalong songs, check this one out because it is a keeper!

(record review)EPITAPH ROMANCE-“When cemeteries become cathedrals”

Recently we featured Epitaph Romance in this webzine, their reissued album in our reviews. Now, it was about time for us to listen to the new material and review it in this webzine.

EpitaphRomance-WhenCemeteriesBecomeCathedrals

The Texan finest horrorpunk band outdone themselves this time, delivering the record with 13 songs full of gore, blood, anthemic choruses, made for singing along and songs made for your moshing pleasure. I listened to the whole album with gory pleasure, but there are some songs on the album that I loved the most, and I will concentrate on those here in this review. First one is “We are the dead”, classic melodic horrorpunk song with metal touch in guitar solo and fast verse meeting the anthemic mid tempo chorus. “I cast you out” is another favorite of mine, with chorus made for singing along. What I like is that this band uses a lot of samples between the songs, samples from the horror movies and I love it when the band does that on their record. “Darkest depths” is a long but in no way boring song, as it is a perfection of dark melody. “Final destination” is another great song with strong structure and delivered in your face. “Your cities will be your tombs” closes the album in a propriate, gory and bloody way and you should check out this metal influenced horrorpunk Texas band and their opus.
