INNOCENT - live in New York, USA 15.06.2023. - video

I fckng love this band, they are one of "the best in the business" on current huge, diverse and developed US diy punk scene, coming from Boston, MA which is home for so many awesome bands and sharing members with the same awesome Lifeless Dark, drummer is bloody octopus and vocals in Detestation/Lebenden Toten style will dangerously play with your brain cells and nerves, you'll be loving it and hate it at the same time..

just a reminder on tomorrow's gig in Požega + new Nuclear Altar rehearsal video

so tomorrow is the day, old friends from Wasserdicht and Nuclear Altar will have gig in Požega, I bet it will be great show and also throwback in some older times, I'm sorry I can't be there, mostly because of my fckd up work time, I have to work on bloody Sundays too, but also it's a little to far away from the place I live..
anyhow, it seems crew from Nuclear Altar is serious into preparation for the gig, here is a short video from rehearsal for one of their newest songs which they will probably perform 1st time live..



 

 

 

when?........................24.02.2024, Saturday
where?.......................caffe bar Beer, Ti & Ja, Požega
who?..........................WASSERDICHT hc punk crust, Slo
                                   NUCLEAR ALTAR crust, Cro
entrance?...................5 € 

 

 

 

 

 

and just a little hint, Wasserdicht will be playing in the beginning of the next month in Čakovec, which is far closer to my place, so most likely see you there, although in theory even then I can't go because of work, but will figure out something until then..

GREIA / EKBOM mini tour March 2024

I'm not into grindcore anymore to be honest, but from the younger bands there are few good ones which I notice lately, mostly thanks to this blog or their appearances on some diy places I follow and one of them is Greia from Slovenia/Italy.. at least I like the part of their songs where they don't use this death/goregrind pig squeal vocals which I absolutely hate.. in rest of the songs where using "normal" growls they sound like good old school political grind band and that's always welcome here..
anyhow, they are hitting the road in a few weeks and join forces with Ekbom, to me not really interesting mathgrind band from Italy for the mini tour through Croatia, Slovenia and Austria..
so if you are into grindcore check it out and support them while they are at your place.. 
awesome tour poster, btw..

THE TRUTH - Ko Će Ako Nećeš Ti? - 4 songs preview of upcoming LP

well, well, what do we have here?.. probably you all already know The Truth which are really long lasting hardcore band and they are pushing this story of theirs for almost 20 years, even more than 20 if we are counting the period when they were called The Truth Of XXX and they are pretty much present all the time on diy hc punk scene here, maybe not with a new records every year, members are from 2 different countries so this is one reason it's something more difficult for them to write new songs and making music, but they do tour a lot (they covered almost the whole Europe, from Lisbon to Kiev all the way to Istanbul)  and are active on some other fields as well, like with zines, label, discussions, etc.
my relation to this band was always mixed up, I don't often listen this kind of music anymore, they are not a kind of band whose records I will buy and listen at home, but I always respected them, was enjoying their live shows because they are always energetic, they talk a lot in between the songs and that's almost always interesting to me, and well as a matter of fact I even took part in releasing of one of their latest albums "Tenzija" with my old, now inactive label..
and now I can tell you that if all songs will be like those 4 which we get for preview they can become even better to me, now also musically because I like those songs so far.. they aren't as usual just fast one minute sharp attacks from start to finish, but now they seems like becoming a little more structured in song writing and include some backing vocals as well, some lyrics and refrains are also on point and catching so they will probably soon become sing-along hits.. and just to mention, one more plus is I feel the vibes of and whole thing lightly reminds on legendary Razlog Za..
anyhow, this material was recorded on even 3 different locations (Beograd, Kragujevac and Zagreb) during 2021/2022, the record itself is supposed to have 14 songs all together, album cover artwork is done by Biblical Violence Illustrations and vinyl should be out in spring of this year, so probably in next few months.. until then go visit their bandcamp and put those four songs on repeat but be careful because you don't want to destroy your place with moshing.. or maybe you want.. 1-2-3 go!..

FILTH OF MANKIND live in Tczew, Poland and Hradec Kralove, Czech R. (?!)

 
the other day I fond two awesome older video recordings of live shows of Filth Of Mankind, they are both great and in good quality and I just need to share them here because they are interesting and amazing discovery and I'm glad that someone preserved and now share them online.. there's not much info about them but one is from the gig in Tczew, city in Poland from 2003 and other could be from 2007 and this years edition of Play Fast Or Don't festival, if my excellent detective instinct didn't deceive me this time.. maybe I'm wrong, if someone knows more, feel free to live the comment..
I remember watching them once some 15 years ago at Balkanikacore meets Krastival fest but I was in so fcked up condition and intoxicated I couldn't enjoy in their show properly (I remember in one moment I threw up behind the stage during their performance, heheh, what a mess, that's the real Filth of Mankind experience), but hey, at least I had a chance..
anyhow, both videos are awesome, so play them loud and enjoy!..

KLÄPTRÄP - Dipsomania For Conquest - is out now!!!

when I 1st time heard about this new band made up from old crust punk wolves (Stef from Visions of War and Stick from Doom among others) after they released their furious and great debut "Songs About Wrongs" I was pretty sure it would be one more short lived project formed just for this one recording session and consider this release as a product of one night hanging out and drinking by its members, but hey, how I was wrong.. just the other day I was planning to write few words and make post about their 2nd demo "The Bullshit Continues" which was released during September last year which is great and angry same as the first one and is on my playlist for already some time now, I saw that they already have the new one!.. it is named "Dipsomania For Conquest" and they continues in the same tone, all 3 are recorded, I believe in the same studio See you in Disneyland in Duisburg and are production vise very similar.. on this last one there are 10 songs all together and this time just maybe little cleaner, not so raw and primitive as on 1st two but still fast, angry and direct crust punk in this simple old school anarcho-punk way with male and female vocals which works nicely together and the whole story reminds on some past times when punk was engaged, radical and played without much complications and there wasn't any overproduction of the recordings needed..
there isn't much information about this band on the internet so I don't know what they are planing for the future, if they are playing gigs and if there will be some physical version of this release, it seems for now is available only in this digital form at their bandcamp page, but I heard somewhere that first two were self-released by the band on tapes so hopefully this one will be to.. in meantime go on bandcamp and blast it loud!..

TERMINAL FILTH - Tomb Womb - promo track for new album "Traces Towards Oblivion"

new album by Terminal Filth from Berlin, who are well known already to all stench crust lovers despite their relatively short existence, was recorded in October last year and now will be ready for pre-orders by the end of this month or beginning of March from Agipunk.. after diy demo and awesome debut LP "Death Driven" they will hit us with another heavy dose of stench core crust in veins of the good old Deviated Instinct/Antisect/Hellshock and similar acts and vibes..
for now only one song is available on their bandcamp page, named "Tomb Womb" and it is the perfect example if you want to describe this band: something lengthy track (little over 6 min with sample intro), it starts in slow, heavy and gloomy tones bringing some Amebix alike dark atmosphere, slowly becoming faster and finishing as real crust core attack, fast and brutal.. I'm pretty sure that this will be one another great stench core classic and also a nice record.. amazing artwork, same as on their previous work is done by Stiv of War..
 
 
 
 
My birth was the death of the world
The artery of the universe split open
With my first cry time began to bleed
Now I am spoken – now I am written
A portal of ruins appears
Sole witness of an incision into the starless nothing
Through centuries of misery
My flesh turned into paper
My bones built the scaffold
Of the dying light
Hear the curse of silence – in this ocean
The night immense embodied
In me as I taste an end
For the first last time
A tomb I carry again and again
Hear the curse of silence – in this ocean
And again I’ll embrace this despair
Follow those traces towards the end
Swallowed by an aging eternity
Off … on the path of exile
Hear it! As it arises from the depths
That roar of the empty … space

upcoming gig in Požega, Croatia

hey, what a gig!.. two bands, old friends from Ormož and Požega, with "dangerous" crew which had significant role in 90s and early 00s diy punk scene here at ex-yu area and even wider, as a matter of fact they still have, not only with their bands but also with all sort of other activity and engagement.. Wasserdicht are definitely back with old line up, this time with something "cleaner" sound than in their chaotic early years but still angry, fast, uncompromising and without unnecessary complications or following trends and Nuclear Altar are one of the rare which are still keeping alive this old Požega's specific sound and diy spirit.. I'm sure this will be one hell of a fun, so support it if you can..
