(review) SMRT RAZUMA – Nova era mraka

Leave a comment

Time for one more band from my regional scene to grace the pages of this zine. Namely, SMRT RAZUMA. This is their brand new full length album and what a mighty debut it is. Recorded and mixed in Studio Depth, sound of the album only proves what great work File does with his recordings. Back to the album. This one contains intro plus 10 songs in Croatian language. Music of SMRT RAZUMA reminds me a bit of a band from Osijek called Sekta, who also mixed a lot of thrash metal guitar work with hardcore punk and d beat roots. If I must compare it to some band it would be a mixture of Verbalni delikt (their second release) and Sekta, which is no wonder since vocal Kruno is a long time scene fighter, I still remember AB Nekultura hehe. Songs are fast with screaming raw brutal vocals, yet you can understand what is being sung, of course if you know Croatian hehe. But, beneath all brutality and smartly written lyrics about media manipulation, poverty, migrants, war and I approve and love when band uses some samples like from news, games, movies and similar for intro of songs. My personal favorites are Bombe naše žrtve vaše, Medijska manipulacija, Stid i bol. Mighty debut indeed! I am sorry to say, but I did not check them out live yet, but I will soon!

Eclipse Records are extremely excited to announce the signing of The Pain Method, an alternative metal band from New York City, NY. Shortly after the breakup of Generation Kill in 2017, guitarist Rob Moschetti (Pro-Pain, M.O.D., Generation Kill) along with Jay Trenczer (Generation Kill, Mutilation) and drummer Rob Youells (Fragile Mortals, Generation Kill) began writing material for a new band, and a new album. After bringing John Fattoruso (Stereomud) and Will Winton (Thanatotic Desire) into the mix, The Pain Method was born.

“The staff at Eclipse are fans of our album, and that means a lot more to me than being on some huge label” says front man Rob Moschetti. “our album won’t get lost in the mix, because Eclipse is not an over-saturated label. They’re a hands-on operation and the perfect home for The Pain Method.” Guitarist John Fattoruso continues, “After being through the ringer of the music biz, from major labels to indies to self-releasing music, it’s great to be signing with Eclipse Records and to know exactly where we stand with them!”

The band have also recently completed a new album entitled What Doesn’t Kill You… which is currently planned for release in the Fall, of 2018. Details will be forthcoming.
