These two Polish bands are at the moment top league when it comes to bridging some gaps between punk and metal. CALM THE FIRE take no prisoners.

The crust punkers from KRIGBLÅST kept us waiting 3 years for their second release and it was worth it. Released on 8th September by Selfmadegod Records I just couldn’t review it the next day. Instead, I was giving it a blast every fucking day, a few times a day. I’ve already abused my copy of...

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? We always think that everything has been created and invented, so whatever you do is going...
It’s a great little record, this. Firstly because it features two great and very active bands and secondly because it is packed with lots of punk emotions, starting from sound and lyrics, finishing on a beautiful artwork done by Andy Lefton from W//P. Now, this just proves that a white cover on a punk record...
