This record is the result of a unique friendship between both bands who are geographical neighbours, thus they play a lot together. AUGUST LANDMESSER coming from Opole, Poland finally got to grips with this recording because this is their first proper one after five years of existence. It’s about time. I still do not know why they were hiding...

(review) DEATH CRUSADE – Rakieta///Bomba CD
DEATH CRUSADE have been around for almost three years now but their debut record saw daylight just moments ago. Released on CD by the band themselves, on a highly limited to 50 copies cassette tape by Lärmo Records (gone already) as new trends dictate (popular on Discogs one day on your internet), and soon availalble on vinyl released by...

DØDSKAMP – fresh new band to unveil their brilliant demo
DØDSKAMP hailing from Lublin, Poland are a fresh newcomer to the scene. They have just released their two-song debut demo which is a killer. Heavy and brutal sound with terrifying and gloomy female vocals. You want to hear more, don’t you? SANCTUS PROPAGANDA can’t wait to hear a proper release from them and review it. Hopefully, they won’t keep us...

The heavy torment that comes alongside the harsh and futile realities of existance. Interview with POŻOGA.
POŻOGA are from Dublin and they are all very international band of punks, all coming from different corners of the world. You may not have heard about them, that is why SANCTUS PROPAGANDA is taking a closer look at their music and lyrics because we feel they are one of the very few bands mixing d-beat with hardcore and doing...

“None of us are weekend punk rockers”. Interview with WARWOUND.
There is not much of an introduction needed for WARWOUND anymore. It is no secret SANCTUS PROPAGANDA are die hard fans of the band, but who wouldn’t, when you get musicians of your favourite bands put together into one. It was time to finally ask some questions to Damian, Stevie and Rat. Enjoy. Note: the interview also appeared in a...

“The typical Swede works as little as possible so they have time to tour with their DIY punk band all over the world.” Interview with MYTERI.
MYTERI have been around for quite a while so you should be familiar with them by now. The new LP called “Ruiner” out on Alerta Antifascista shows a mature band with a great sound. Being a hard working touring band with two full-lengths on heir account, thousands of kilometers driven, it is time to talk about their crust, Europe and...

(review) GAY PANIC DEFENCE – Snowflake Powerviolence Vol 1
Scottish queer punks have delivered their big boy record. Still not sure what format this wil be available on but tape is on the list for sure. Violence doesn’t help but power violence does, at least for them, to get their message across. Prepare yourself for a 10 minute noise assault on your ears with manic vocals. It’s a fresh...

(review) MANTA BIROSTRIS – Cursed Eye of the Prophet CD
When a release like this hits your mailbox you know that the world is a terrible place to live. You know that the people who pull the strings are not to be trusted to say the least, and that they are beats. Whether god exists, it’s up to you, but when you are faced with “Cursed Eye of the Prophet”...

(review) NACHTHEXEN – Disco Creep EP
Early 80s (that’s previous century) brought HIT PARADE. The punk band that decided to play no distortion and noise – instead they took on “disco” tunes, pumped them with highly political lyrics and got their message across via CRASS RECORDS platform. Fast forward do late naughties (that’s this century) and you get NACHTHEXEN. The all-female punk band that decided to...

(review) EXTINCTION OF MANKIND – Storm of Resentment LP
EXTINCTION OF MANKIND have been around since 1992, so they are veterans of the UK punk. They started when others finished and when time passed (20 something years) and I get the chance to hear their fourth upcoming full length album, I realise they are one of the very few who are true to what UK punk has always been...

“We don’t know any other lifestyle”. Interview with BRATAKUS.
BRATAKUS are Breagha on guitar and vocals and Onnagh on bass + a drum machine. They are sisters (Breagha and Onnagh, not the drum machine) and they have brought a lot of fresh and positive energy into the scene. Coming from a remote whisky village in Scotland they are serious about their beliefs, they mean what they sing and they...
