SIMBIOSE / VISIONS OF WAR - split EP is out!!!

finally this long awaited monster of split EP is out on Scream Records, Profane Existence, Deviance, Up The Punx Records, Phobia Records, Not Enough, Breeding For Extinction and Loner Cult Records.. both bands are crust grind veterans and well known so you probably already have some picture about what expect here.. and yes, you're right, this is a killer split with great short (5 min each) material by both bands, but I must say Visions Of War side is spectacular.. go play it loud and support the labels and bands..

SIMBIOSE / VISIONS OF WAR - split EP

DIY HARDCORE PUNK FEST vol.15 Gdynia, Poland 31.03.-01.04.2023.

for me, this was always the best and most interesting festival in last 10-15 years in Europe, at least if we speak about choice of bands, how it really is there I don't know because unfortunately I've never been on any of it's editions..

after last five or so years of hiatus they are back with again some killer names (well Hiatus also, hehe, oh the irony) and as it seems it's gonna be the blast..

first day is conceived as warm up party with four bands in smaller venue and the other will be full festival day with 8 bands..

DYSPNEA / MORMO euro tour March 2023

this is great news, I always liked Dyspnea, dark crust punk act from Greece born in 2006, most known by their epic splits with Nakot and Unfit Earth.. they weren't really active last few years and now they are back and are going on tour together with dark hardcore metal crust band Mormo.. unfortunately they won't visit Croatia on their way but the closest gigs will be in Vienna, Novi Sad and Belgrade.. if you had the chance to see them, don't miss it..

HELLSHOCK euro tour March/April 2023

hell yes, Hellshock!.. I remember their euro tour from 2009 and their gig in club Time in Zagreb, even still have tour t-shirt with this giant octopus :) and remember how brutal the gig was.. I believe this time will be the same or even better because of all the heaviness and greasiness of new songs..

NUCLEAR ALTAR live @ caffe bar Beer, Ti & Ja, Požega (Croatia) - video

 

two short videos from last weekend gig in Požega.. very pleasant surprise for me is song from the second one called "Ne Želim" with Smole (Dislike, Drob) as guest vocalist, originally cover from Bratska Pomoč but to me more known as song by Dislike from legendary split tape with Mrtva Budoucnost and one of my favorite by them..
on the same youtube channel you can find one more newer song by them from the same gig as well one from Smrt Razuma who also played that night..

MISERY interview from FECAL FORCES #10 fanzine

the other day I found this folder with pdf file with scans of one of the best and possibly the most known fanzine (because most of the time it was written on English) from here from 90s and that was Fecal Forces made by old underground warrior Kktz from Požega and I stuck with it for a day or two exploring all the super interesting content, once again.. in this bunch of material from even 11 issues there is also this interesting interview with mighty Misery and immediately thought I had to post it here, so here it is..

it's done somewhere in the very beginnings of 2000s, I believe.. questions (some are slightly provocative) by Kktz and answers are from Jon Misery.. enjoy the reading..

ATOMSKI RAT live @ AKAB Okretnica, Belgrade (Serbia) 18.02.2023. - video

 

dangerouslly good total thrash noise band from Šid, Serbia and their performance from last week gig in AKAB Okretnica.. total madness, and when you know that Luger also played there the same night, well I wish I was there..
just to mention, by the end of the last year their album Nekro San (originally from 2021) is released on 12" vinyl by Angry Voice Records from Germany and Terminal Records from Greece in limited 200 copies and is still available.. 

some 25-30 years from now when this record will be found together with rusty half-functioning turntable, under the ruins of ashes and concrete after doomsday caused by the nuclear war, by last two people survived, one crustie punk and one metalhead, they will discuss about Atomski Rat as a cult band of one era..

okay, enjoy the video, rokaaaj!..

A NETWORK OF FRIENDS #5 fanzine

for a long, long time (too long if you ask me) there wasn't any fanzine represented here at blog, I admit that my laziness is one of the biggest reasons why, but also there isn't that much new stuff, unfortunately, as far as I am aware of, somehow I lost contacts with zine-makers last few years.. so if you are doing a 'zine please let me now, I can at least spread the word, write some review, even buy it if I like it, heheh and on this small and symbolic way support your hard work and enthusiasm..

one of the latest I have read lately is omnibus fanzine A Network Of Friends which is compiled by some old and well known and also some new to me zines from across the world and those are: A Blast From The Past (UK), Negative Insight (US), Vermynoze Putrida (Bra), Bootlegs Of Filth (Aus), Crisispoint (UK), Gadgie (UK) and Initonit (UK) and is released in January this year.. 

originally the whole idea of Network Of Friends series started from Steve of Ripping Thrash and he also was supposed to contribute in this one but it ended up enable to do it, so this issue is compiled in the US in Negative Insight headquarter..

there are as you can guess a lot of material but not too much, and you can easily read those 68 pages in relatively short time.. from, the more interesting stuff to me I would point out some columns, article about history of punk gigs in Leeds from circa 1976-1986 and few gig reports from that time, interview with Jim Whitely (bassist in Napalm Death and Extinction Of Mankind among others), Autonomia (band from Peru) and some Icons Of Filth tribute artworks..

layout is also, as expected, various from one contributor to other but mostly in good old cut & paste style and with typewriter fonts, and I'm sure the whole thing would look great printed on paper..  

okay, for all other you should discover by yourself, and you can do it on the link below where the whole thing is available for reading, downloading or printing and authors encourage you to make your own copies to avoid expensive worldwide postage costs.. D.I.Y.!

AGENTE PROVOKADOR #123 podcast

Wasserdicht is back!!! + 33 years of Unterhund club..

 

           

               

ohoho, some super exciting news!!.. Wasserdicht, legendary Slovenian crust core band born in 1990 is, as it seems, back on track, again, in no more and no less than original first line up (does that means with Petra on vocals, hmm!?.. or probably not..) and they even have new material..

new album is in plan as well and I can't describe how I'm happy because of that and looking forward to hear it and possibly have it if they release it in some physical form..

and that's not all, as 33th birthday of club Unterhund in Ormož (hometown of Wasserdicht) is approaching, in April they will play there together with anarcho-punk legends Nula and that will sure be one hell of a party!.. 

can't wait!..

Genogeist is crust band from Portland, Oregon (US) featuring member of Despair, Dodlage, GAASP, Terminal Conquest, and Vastation and they deliver furious hardcore crust punk with awesome dual vocals, of which one is deep guttural and harsh and the other is more punkish/crusty and cleaner, both together are making an interesting combo..

LOŠ PRIMJER live @ Oksid, Šibenik 21.01.2023. - video

I have a secret...which isn't really a secret, because I already had some "confessions" about it here while making a small review on their latest album...and this is that...I love this band...but didn't always realize completely that I love them, all this time...

anyhow, since the first album "Pozdrav Dabru" from 2000, they were always hidden somewhere behind all those noisy crust bands from Požega (with all of them they shared members, btw) and behind the walls of noise of all other crust and anarcho-punk stuff I'm listening since when I was kid, but they were always somewhere there and I often was returning to their records (most of the time to the first one, because the last two are, kind of, still fresh [nah, they really aren't but last 10-12 years flew by like fast train to me, damn...] ) and with smile on my face remembered all the hits and those specific and good lyrics, also was watching them live more than few times and as I remember all was great gigs and good parties..

they are something more active lately, have new bassist and are playing gigs again.. here is video of the latest from a week ago in Šibenik and as it seems it was pretty good, although it is obvious they are getting old, heheheh, they still got it, and it was one hour gig, which is always nice, respect..

in short they are, both musically and lyrically perfect rest and therapy for my mind from all this other noise with which I'm destroying my braincells last circa 25 years.. 

okay, enjoy the video and go say thanx for it here: https://www.youtube.com/@Welkin0711

small hint, from 12:30 - 15:45 is the best part ;)

and yes, there was a bandcamp page with their latest album "Slikovnica" (which was compound like true little masterpiece, btw) which mysteriously disappeared over the night, and that's just shame, so if anyone responsible is reading this please bring it back!..  

and same as that, it's a crime that their two last albums aren't released on some proper medium, tape or vinyl.. I know some was in plan but obviously it got stuck somewhere.. well, if you ask me, and you don't, a full length LP with both albums would be just perfect.. and would sell quickly, I'm sure..

-update 03.02.: I find the bandcamp page somehow after all, don't know why link wasn't working then, anyhow you can listen it here: https://losprimjer.bandcamp.com/releases

MANKIND? - live @ Club 198, New York (USA) 1995 + text from Discography LP

Mankind?, similar to recently mentioned A//Political are one of my favorite American bands, they were great anarcho-punk group from New Heaven, Connecticut (US), and also one of those which maybe are underrated, at least out of US and don't/didn't get all the attention which they deserved (this is from my point of view, like from someone who live in Europe, but according to this nice review in the US they were very noticeable and influential).. was it because they were active only two years or because they didn't "reinvent the wheel" with their style and sound of anarcho-punk, I don't know but I do know that they are one of my favorites in this particular genre and perfect example of how 90s political hc punk band sounded or should sound like..

below is live footage of their gig in New York from 1995 and text published in booklet for their Discography LP released in 2021 on Ryvvolte Records and Fight For Your Mind and repressed one year later on the same labels.. enjoy!..
