| bolz'n | spaltfunktion 12" | 8.00 € |
this is some very fucking promising tech-grindcore.talking about majorly
intense and frantic grind with wildly chaotic drumming that barely seems to
follow the same beat as the guitars, which are ultra fast and a little
noisy, but also super detuned for added heaviness. Also in place are layered
screaming/growling female vocals (some of the best I've ever heard), crazy
technical riffs with plenty of blasting speeds, and lots of weird chord
phrasings and rhythmic patterns that really fuck with the structures and
make for an odd listen. you ve been warned.

damn i love canada! i fell in love with (diy) hardcore through bands like uranus and one eyed god prophecy ... again with buried inside and titan .... you know bands that have this heartfelt passion mixed with frustration and anger! so this is the newest eruption from canada called TEMPEST. and i m in love again ...
Passages takes the listener through bitter and emotional crust, a trip that encompasses despondency, vitriolic rage and some really great sound samples. It's not a long record - in fact it's probably the perfect length, coming in at just over 24 minutes. The 7 tracks are of reasonable length but every single one is attention grabbing, not to mention the 7 minute epic self titled track that closes the album. I don't really have anything bad to say about this. Every moment of it is excellent, it certainly doesn't overstay its welcome and it has a great deal of replay value.
"Dark Hardcore" to a tee, mixing aspects of Hardcore, Black Metal, and Crust in a unique blend of chaotic fury."

PREORDER - ESTIMATED SHIPPING end of june
Planks / Lentic Waters split 12" 10,00 A constellation of two German monoliths - both unique in what they do – still a harmonizing team. The A side shows Planks taking yet another step away from their Hardcore roots. In the vein of their last output The Darkest Of Grays, they deliver their unique blend of gloomy, melody ridden, downtuned heaviness that incooperate aspects of Doom, Black Metal and Dark Wave - but this time they even go one step further and take on Grunge methodologies in Leave And Never Come Back. All they did on their last records finds its way into these three tracks but everything seems more organized, filtered, more mature and in better sound. Lentic Waters' B side of the split delivers the first three new songs after their impressive first s/t LP. The still fairly new band took the time on the road during the weeks of tours they spent, to distinguish what they are capable of and what they do best. Those tracks bring their facets of grinding emoviolence, double-bass frenzy and super catchy melodies. Also the sound of the recording improved and therefore offers the listener a better inside into what this band is able to. Three string instruments that play three different things at the same time just to have one big harmony in the end. Melodies shattered by ravishing outbursts to flow into massive, epic endings. It should be interesting to see how much more this band has to offer in the future seeing the transition they undertook in such short time. The Split LP comes on limited white vinyl (200) and black vinyl (800) with drop-dead gorgeous, silver printed artwork by Pierre Johansson on heavy cardboard. Released by Apocaplexy Records, React With Protest and IFB Records.

| titan | burn ( black vinyl ) 2x12" | 12.00 € |
Hell yes. Here's the new Titan LP. Over two years in the making, Burn features ten new songs from Titan. Titan is a metallic post hardcore, sludge, and metal band from Toronto, Canada. Titan draws influences
from bands such as Union Of Uranus and His Hero is Gone and merge them with an Isis type of drone. Burn is Titan's latest release and should please any fan of heavy music. Definitely a must for people who
enjoy bands like Cursed, Tragedy, and slower doom bands such as Isis.... Highly recommended!

| tentacles | cogita mori 7" | 2.00 € |
"heavy chaotic emoviolence from texas not unlike shikari! or like david would say :
...this record will have some super-heavy riffs and combine them with lulls of melodic, atmospheric gloom.... some insane double-bass and doesn't really focus as much on breakdowns as it does on pure speed... which basically means that the vocalist screams like a fucking banshee....

| jotnarr | burn and bury 12" | 8.00 € |
Even though a lot of people go with the black metal reference I see the more appealing – more emotive and heavy side of this beast driven by only three really nice punks. Beautiful melodies and atmospheric rampage meets heavy and epic riffing.

there are bands that have this one bombastic record and are never able to come close to it again .. NOT tempest – they made a huge advancement without loosing their sound or uniqueness. They sound even heavier on these recordings although the songs are more complex and very beautifully arranged. Angry and devastating - this isnt just another record. It is a statement!
