Well, two bass guitars, drums and those vocals! NULLA OSTA come from Pula, Croatia, formed in 2002 and this is their 7th 12” release. Very impressive. Take note, two bass guitars and no guitar sound! Do I miss it? Not at all. Although you do not hear the wall of sound coming from those...

AXEGRINDER – Satori LP
From “The Rise of The Serpent Men” to “Satori” in 30 years, AXEGRINDER are back. Formed in 1985/6 they took what was best in the metal punk scene, blended it and came up with their awesome debut album released by Peaceville. It had AMEBIX riffs, MOTORHEAD solos and VENOM drums. And this brilliant gloomy and...
(review) V/A – X LAT ULTRA CHAOS PIKNIKU LIVE 2016/2017
ULTRA CHAOS PIKNIK is a 100% DIY punk festival that has been organised for the past 10 years in east part of Poland. By DIY, I mean DIY – right in the middle of the forest, no sponsors, no stage barriers, no advertisements, non profit, BYOB two-day party attended by about 1000 punks from Europe. ...
(review) RUINAS – s/t LP
RUINAS are from Buenos Aires. Sounds exotic to most European punks as we do not often get a chance to see bands from South America touring Europe. This is just about to change friends, as RUINAS are coming to Europe this October and November. They are touring Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria,...
MORNE’s fourth studio album redefines doom metal.
In the interview with MORNE from November 2017 on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA (here), Milosz (guitar and vocals) said that “less is more when it comes to riffs”. Now, I have been listening to the fourth studio album by MORNE for the past 4 days and I cannot stop it. Why? The album is not a discovery...
(review) HIBERNATION – In The Years Of Desolation LP
Whatever was happening with ΧΕΙΜΕΡΙΑ ΝΑΡΚΗ (HIBERNATION) for the past 15 years, they are back with a fantastic album. The band formed in late 90’s in Athens, Greece and continues to mix what is best in punk, and Greek punk especially. Atmospheric, dirty and climatic guitars serving as a gloomy intro to songs, crusty riffs,...
(review) ELECTROZOMBIES – He Visto LP
You may be familiar with ELECTROZOMBIES from Chile as they released a split EP with DOOM a few months ago. I remember calling their sound “rehearsal-like” and I’d still stick to that. He Visto is their 2nd LP released in 2008 on very distant lands, now Neanderthal-Stench Records brings this jewel to life...
(review) STORM OF SEDITION – Decivilize LP + split LP with HUMAN HOST BODY
STORM OF SEDITION are definitely one of the most interesting bands emerging from the international conspiracy of DIY punk in the world. Not Canada, where they come from, but the world. Sharing members from the likes of ISKRA, CREPEHANGER, LEPER, and MUTINY, STORM OF SEDITION kind of takes the usual black metal crust noise...

(review) SUFFERING MIND / NAK’AY – split tape
This is the soundtrack for my bike ride today. Choose your favourite flat route and play it loud into your ears. You are sure to break your records. Or how fast can you run within the course of this split? 5km should be fine. It lasts 15 minutes and it will give you energy...
(review) Brünner Todesmarsch – Legální lágry, ilegální lidé 10″LP
A lot has changed in Czech Republic since I last visited. I played three gigs with ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH there and I experienced something I would call a change of guard but still being in the process. A refreshing mix of the young and the old at the gigs working together for a better...
“Cultural identity is an important part of any society”. Interview with SEDITION.
“Cultural identity is an important part of any society”. Interview with SEDITION. When SEDITION announced they are on UK tour with REALITY CRISIS in November 2017 I figured out there is more to it than just a few gigs to play. So I went to check if it is another reunion for them or perhaps...
(review) WERLY – Drown into vomit LP
WERLY means noisy puking in a Belgian dialect, the record is called “Drown into Vomit” and there is a punker vomiting on the oppressors of this world on the cover. Welcome to the world of Werly. Belgian band composed of ex members of Life Is Damage, Hiatus, Unhinged, Twisted System, Visions of War and others....
