FLUX are a fairly new band from Wroclaw, Poland sharing members with the well known INFEKCJA. They have just started, played a few gigs and recorded this 8 minute demo tape. It’s pretty raw in production (recorded at the legendary CRK), pogo punk with disorder style guitars, psychotic vocals and the overall 80’s style of...

(review) WAR//PLAGUE – Into The Depths LP
Into The Depths is the third full-length album from Minneapolis veteran punks WAR//PLAGUE. It will be out some time in November 2018 on Phobia Records in Europe and Organise&Arise in US, so I guess that will cover the world’s appetite for this jewel. About a month to the release date but we have it...
(review) RUINT IT – Locked Up Dead
Armageddon Records presents RUIN IT with their debut album “Locked Up Dead”. The wide spectrum of heavy and fast music released by the label is no surprise anymore. RUIN IT come from Rhode Island and are a bunch of middle-aged dudes who grew up together and are having a midlife crisis. So they set up...
(review) TOADEATER – demo
TOADEATER are three punks from Germany making noise in the Red&Anarchist Black Metal scene. Their 3-song debut demo was released on Bandcamp in July this year so it’s fairly new and a cassette version is expected soon. If you’re into black metal blasts, East German metal style vocals (whatever that means, this is just...
(review) RUINED BY – demo
Based in London, composed of a Frenchman, two Englishmen and a Polish drummer, RUINED BY recorded this 4 track demo back in April 2017, so it’s more than a year old. Since then, they’ve had enough time to practice and make a few more songs, which they recorded but haven’t released yet. RUINED BY...
(review) POŻOGA – s/t EP
You may already be familiar with POZOGA from the interview here on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA. They are punks from different parts of the world, all living in Dublin, Ireland. They released their two-song demo on Bandcamp, also featured here, which was so good that we decided to interview them. Now, their debut EP is...
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) 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,...
(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...
(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....
