MORUS is a fairly well recognised Polish punk band that throughout its 6 years of ins and outs of existence managed to play well established punk festivals and release two demos. Time has come to record a full length LP and, hopefully, become a regular and active band around the continent. “Cialo Obce” has...
ORPHANAGE NAMED EATH, Polish crust/sludge/post metal band are touring Europe twice this year to promote their debut album called “Re-evolve”. PITY THIS KIND TOUR 2018 starts next week and runs for 7 days in Poland, Germany and Czech Republic. The September leg of the tour brings three more gigs, this time in UK with...
When I first played this record a year ago or so I was put off by everything I heard on it. But then I rediscovered it and since then I cannot stop playing it. This band from Västerås, Sweden have already managed to release another LP on their own label, for whatever reason, but...
AFTERLIFE are from Czech Republic and this is their debut release on Phobia Records and Pure Heart Records. 4 songs 1 of each is instrumental. It took me some time to get down to writing this review as I was first looking for my jaw all over Sanctus Propaganda HQ, scattered everywhere after I’d...
Just before the May weekend BAZZOOKATOOTH from Nashville, Tennessee gave the world their debut recordings. This three piece play hardcore punk, that can loosely be associated with Blag Flag or the likes. Male/female vocals, some punk chaos here and there that gives way to thrashy guitars. Well played, and really enjoyable stuff. I would just...

Fucking hell, this is brilliant. When your punk CV includes playing in bands like MOB 47, PROTES BENGT, DESPERAT, DISCARD and DRILLER KILLER, then your new formation must be a killer. And it is. Take a bite off each mentioned bands and you end up with the best things Scandi punk has on offer: ...
ANATOMI 71 are from Gothenburg, Sweden and play what we all call Swedish style old school d-beat punk but once you play it you can’t resist hearing heavy Motorhead influences here and there. Which is good. Bass driven punk rock + d-beat drums is always a good recipe for a good gig. So watch...
Portland’s d-beat crust punks DÖDLAGE here on cassette tape from Drop Out Records. A release for those who missed the vinyl releases. It starts with the slow, gloomy and sludgy intro called “Sanctuary Rites” but you’d be wrong thinking this is the mood of the whole release. “Internal Crisis” starts and the d-beat...
We are sure you are familiar with both bands, we also gave them good reviews here and here. Both HERIDA PROFUNDA and SATANIC MALFUNCTIONS are touring UK, gigging in decent venues with even more decent bands. Check out the details of the tour and FB events for each gig and pay them a visit: 16...
We are pleased to announce that our second release, catalogued PROP 002, will be by the one and only UK’s thrash punk d-beat legends, HELLKRUSHER. We have taken steps to revive the original “Wasteland” recording that happened in 1989 which the band didn’t like and decided to record it again but in a different studio....
PROP 002 Not a lot of people know, but there are actually two recordings of “Wasteland”, the first of which was scrapped for not being up to standard back in the day. The studio was shit and the guitarist was on the run from the police. The recording itself hasn’t been heard outside the band...
They ain’t no fucking rock stars. They ain’t no fucking rip off. They care about what they do and they also care about you, too. 29 years have passed since the recording of their first record, called “Wasteland” and 29 years later they give you “Human Misery” released on Ruin Nation Records. With numerous line-up...
Angus and Brian plus their good old friend, the drum machine, made their way thru snowy Scottish roads to finally meet up in a secret location known to only three of them (just off A939, near the village called Fodderletter) to record another BRAIN ANGUISH anarcho punk song. This time you are greeted by a...
Compilation records are usually tricky. I am sure your collection boasts jewels and mistakes in one box. To produce a great compilation record that will become an instant classic requires skill and motivation. I am more than sure that in case of “The Dreadful Symphonies” the author had both. SKILL Being a guitarist in...
