It’s one of the most important records to come out of Polish DIY punk scene and it’s all on a very personal level for me. First of all, the people who recorded this album were or are good friends of mine. Mind you, some of them are no longer with us, hence the past tense....
Formed in 1986 AXEGRINDER quickly became one of those bands that influenced the crust metal scene of today. With just one full-length release entitled “The Rise Of The Serpent Men” on Peaceville Records, they folded soon after. And like a few other brilliant punk bands of that era, they are back. 30 years after “The...
Yokohama greeted me with sunshine but also with no-one speaking English and difficulties finding something vegan to eat. Nevermind. The evening was coming and it was the second out of 3 SEDITION / BRATAKUS / REALITY CRISIS gigs on their “Earthbeats To Destruction 2” tour in Japan. In contrast to Tokyo, the venue is located in...
Back in the day, ANTISECT were one of those bands you’d call now a game changer. From 1981 to 1987 having released just two records they set the course for many things to happen in punk and freedom fighting movements. You could easily place “In Darkness There is No Choice” (1984) on your milestones-of-punk shelf...
Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, LIFELESS DARK consists of members from NO TOLERANCE, GREEN BERET and more including MAGIC CIRCLE and DEATH EVOCATION. The Bandcamp release of this 3-song demo caused a stir among punk and metal tribes across the world. And no wonder. They do what hasn’t been done for quite some time. They...
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...

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...
We are releasing two tracks from the upcoming 5th album by the UK thrash punks HELLKRUSHER, entitled “Wasteland Unreleased”. Visit our Bandcamp page and listen to what was supposed to be the original “Wasteland” album back in 1990 but was scrapped by the band, as they were not satisfied with the production. 28...

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...
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,...
In the interview with MORNE from November 2017 on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA (here), Milosz (guitar and vocals) said that “less is more when it comes to riffs”. Now, I have been listening to the fourth studio album by MORNE for the past 4 days and I cannot stop it. Why? The album is not a discovery...
