DEAD ARCHITECT give you inverted crosses, skulls and d-beats to make you realise what deep shithole called planet Earth you live on. It is new era black metal with punk and crust attitude, concenrating on topics like religion, patriotism and exploitation of human dignity. Six, pretty short recordings, all embracing speed, blasts and satanic...
(review) HUMANITY IS A CURSE – Raiging for a Lighthouse LP
Yet another fine release from Hasiok Records. HUMANITY IS A CURSE is a trio based in Berlin but, I am guessing, originally coming from Italy, at least some of them. So, you are dealing here with immigrant punx that found their place on Earth and use music to channel their feelings and emotions to...
(review) MASSGRAV – Stockholm Rockers CD
MASSGRAV released their records on Sound Pollution but their forth album is out on Selfmadegod Records on CD, and vinyl release is coming soon. Now, if you want to play 24 songs in 26 minutes you need to do it fast and very well. And this is how they do it. Super fast, very...
Glasper’s Burning Britain with a musical soundtrack on 4 CDs: UK82
Those of you who have read the book called Burning Britain: The History of UK Punk 19801984 by Ian Glasper (interviewed here) know that this is the only well documented source of UK punk bands of the period. And not only the ones that made it further than a demo, 5 gigs and perhaps an...
(review) AGATHOCLES – Commence to Mince CD/LP
How do you write a review of AGATHOCLES release knowing that they have released over 200 EPs and about 200 albums? Do you dare to compare releases, refer to the EP #147 in their discography or the period between albums #79 – #94? I don’t know! And I don’t care. All I know this...

(review) DISCORDANCE – s/t LP
Welcome to the worst nightmare of all – reality! This is how this record greets you and you may have heard it before from Hellraiser film, but you know now what to expect at least. DISCORDANCE are a relatively new band, formed in 2015, from Patras, Greece. And they are definitely not to be...
(review) POWER X CHUCK – Discography cassette
This is old school release (on cassette tape) for a relatively new band playing old school hardcore. POWER X CHUCK come from Australia and they are maniacs of real old style hardcore with power violence influence here and there. If you forgot how it should be done, this is it. It nails every corner...
(review) BRAINCËLL/WÄRFEAR – split 7”EP
This is a great split from two bands from Malaysia. Crust punk at its best, freshly recorded with a fresh sound, well known patents, but still, easy to listen to, mosh to and very attractive live, I bet. BRAINCELL is more UK style crust punk with growling, ENT style, vocals. Melody gave way to...
