Hungry for metal d-beat? Put your hands on a release that has been available for some time now and definitely needs a reminder. SUFFER THE PAIN were already reviewed here. With one more album and 2 singles out, they are no strangers to those who frequent festivals in Europe. “Hellbound” is different in many...
DISSEKERAD have got 2 LPs and 3 7”EPs out already and this is the one released in 2017 on Phobia Records. Made up of members from AVSKUM, TOTALITÄR, MAKABERT FYND and KRIGSHOT they continue doing what Swedish punk is known for. Playing it raw, d-beat style with a lot of anger and power. This...
MOSKWA was formed in 1983 in Lodz, central Poland, and was one of those bands that along with DEZERTER and a few others shaped the minds of young punks in communist Poland. Their demo tape “Nigdy!” released in 1986, that made a huge impact on the minds of the young of that generation, was...
The latest recording by MEINHOF is finally out. Recorded in 2017 this sees the light on 45rpm 12” and CD. I always thought MEINHOF managed to produce their own, unique sound and style. It is punk, but it is MEINHOF punk. Not many bands have this style of writing songs and singing which is...
OK, so I’ve saved myself from a monumental fuck up concerning this band and the review. I received this LP a few weeks ago from NIKT NIC NIE WIE and was instantly surprised I knew nothing about a band from Poland, called SMIERC. So I gave it a spin and found out I hear...
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...
We have opened pre-orders for “Wasteland Unreleased” by HELLKRUSHER. This is PROP 002 released by SANCTUS PROPAGANDA and it is going to be a 140g black vinyl inside a black&white sleeve along with a lyric&photo insert + A2 screen printed poster and a patch. It’s an official release in band’s discography and 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...

Some shows for you to consider: 11 September – Berlin, SO36 12 September – Warsaw, Pogłos 13 September – Praha, Altenburg 1964 19 September, Vienna, Pankahyttn...
When I first played this record a year ago or so I was put off by everything I heard on it. But then I rediscovered it and since then I cannot stop playing it. This band from Västerås, Sweden have already managed to release another LP on their own label, for whatever reason, but...
Fucking hell, this is brilliant. When your punk CV includes playing in bands like MOB 47, PROTES BENGT, DESPERAT, DISCARD and DRILLER KILLER, then your new formation must be a killer. And it is. Take a bite off each mentioned bands and you end up with the best things Scandi punk has on offer: ...
ANATOMI 71 are from Gothenburg, Sweden and play what we all call Swedish style old school d-beat punk but once you play it you can’t resist hearing heavy Motorhead influences here and there. Which is good. Bass driven punk rock + d-beat drums is always a good recipe for a good gig. So watch...
We are pleased to announce that our second release, catalogued PROP 002, will be by the one and only UK’s thrash punk d-beat legends, HELLKRUSHER. We have taken steps to revive the original “Wasteland” recording that happened in 1989 which the band didn’t like and decided to record it again but in a different studio....
PROP 002 Not a lot of people know, but there are actually two recordings of “Wasteland”, the first of which was scrapped for not being up to standard back in the day. The studio was shit and the guitarist was on the run from the police. The recording itself hasn’t been heard outside the band...
They ain’t no fucking rock stars. They ain’t no fucking rip off. They care about what they do and they also care about you, too. 29 years have passed since the recording of their first record, called “Wasteland” and 29 years later they give you “Human Misery” released on Ruin Nation Records. With numerous line-up...
