(review) FLUX – demo 2018

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...

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...

  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...

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) 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...
