Year: 2017
Polish neo crusties from LØVTE stream their full debiut studio recording.
LØVTE with members from DESZCZ and ASTRID LINDGREN are a project delivering a collection of dark blasts, manic screams and angelic female voice.

(review) V/A – Nigdy Nie Będziesz Szedl Sam” – Tribute to GUERNICA Y LUNO LP
GUERNICA Y LUNO was a Polish anarcho punk band active between 1992 – 1996. Just four years, many songs and a few recordings with a debatable sound quality.

(review) TAU CROSS – Pillar of Fire 2xLP
When you do a project, when you are creating something from nothing, people ask themselves this question a lot of times: can you create something totally new, that hasn’t been created yet in the world we live in today?

It’s a great little record, this.

“We’re just reflecting darkness back at the listener”. Interview with SURYA.
SURYA takes no shortcuts. To reach their audience they use many methods but one: vocals. No, you will not find lyrics in SURYA, at least on their latest release “Apocalypse A.D.” Yet, they are challenging you with animal, earth and human liberation message. I talked with band members, Bartek and Greg on guitars and Raquel...
