This is my first encounter with Linköping/Norrköping based SNAKE TONGUE. Some of you might be familiar with the band as they already have their debut album on account, released in 2016 on The Sign Records. Looks like they were quite busy after the debut release, touring Europe extensively and also flying over to Mexico...
OK, so two latest SANCTUS PROPAGANDA releases are just about to see the daylight. The covers for ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH/THE THRONE split 12” should land tomorrow (or today for some of you already, orders come for all over the world) and inserts for HOMOMILITIA are being printed as I am told. So I went...
PROP 010 WARWOUND needs no introduction. Comprising founding members of SACRILEGE, THE VARUKERS, HELLKRUSHER and DECADENCE WITHIN this band dates back to 1982 when d-beat punk was taking shape. Today, almost 40 years later WARWOUND blend what’s best in metal and punk and come up with 15 angry punk songs with a heavy SACRILEGE guitar,...
PROP 008 Poland’s most influential DIY punk band – HOMOMILITIA. Active in the 90’s, touring Europe extensively they uniquely blended metal guitar sound with punk d-beats, spirit and anger. This LP finds the band at the pinnacle of their musical achievements. The sound they managed to produce on this recording 20 years ago still puts...
MUTABO/HELLEXIST – Mutate and Survive/Age of Death split LP MUTABO/VASTATION – Omnia Mutantur/Vastation split LP MUTABO are from Belgrad, Serbia and have two split LPs on account, both released by the mighty Belgian label Neanderthal Stench Records in co-operation with Nero One Records from USA plus ¡ZAS! Autoproduzioni, Angry Voice, and Anomie Records. Great co-op...
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...
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...
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,...
