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.

Bloomington's Closet Burner return with a full length of queer-positive, society bullshit negative hardcore. The sound is rooted in classic fast hardcore riffs, but not afraid to drop a dirge or a powerviolent blast in there. Lyrics are angry, to the point, and no holds barred, representing a refreshing return to actual anger and resistance in hardcore. Members share time in Rat Storm as well.

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.

LOIA are Andrea, Camilla, and Stefano, and they come from Florence, Italy. LOIA will fuck you up. We’ve already been assaulted by this band’s vicious music in the past, and now these Italian hardcore sociopaths are back with a brand new album of raging, blacked-out hardcore that will fucking destroy your life. “Nodo alla Gola” in Italian means “knot in your throat,” when your nerves are so tense and your angst is so uncontrollable that you can’t even swallow, you can’t even breathe, and your fucking skull just feels like it just can’t withstand the exploding emotions happening inside your head. This is the music of LOIA – an onslaught of blind, rabid rage made of blackened hardcore punk and crust that hits you like a fucking swarm of thorns, crashing through your eye sockets and passing through your skull with the brute force of a storm of bullets. Splintering shards of mauling powerviolence, echoing waves of Void and Siege-worshiping hardcore, crude and barbaric grindcore infested with black metal that separates flesh from bone with millisecond-long excavations of rage straight into the listener’s flesh. This is LOIA – uncontrolled hatred, unadulterated bitterness, and suffocating chaos that will rip your life to pieces.

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.

Sømerset hail from Münster and play some chunky, stompy, screamy hc that touches base with Cloud Rat, Punch and Left For Dead - a promising set of influences that result in a fairly decent racket. Despite the heaviness it's not an all-out slugfest - there are a couple of prettier breakdowns which, when coupled with the strangled-duck vocals, actually remind me of Carlisle or the first Spirit Of Versailles 7".

Spain's Ànteros, comprised with ex-members of Toundra, Syberia and Viva Belgrado, is back with their second full album promisingly entitled 'Cuerpos celestes'. On the leading path of the debut 'Lunas', it returns to the postrock field with the epic, brutal and beautiful feel to it. With 'Cuerpos celestes', you are sailing through melodic and heavy postrock landscapes incorporated with elements of commanding rock and intense progressive metal. The layered guitar work and calculated instrumental frenzies are something to be admired as the rage and aggression pours forth on this release.

ASHKARA features ex-members of long going switzerland Crustpunk institution CWILL and play down tuned and dark, atmospheric and moody HC/Punk or modern and slowed down Crustcore with a urge to sink you into a dark abyss... The use of a violin in most songs adds alot to the moody atmosphere and is a perfect addition for this style of post-punk/post hardcore or whatever you wanna call it.

Hailing from the German town of Münster, Aureole of Ash may be relative newcomers but display the songcraft and savvy of veterans. Morbid Reality adopts the legendarily gnarly Swedish guitar tone in the service of short blasts of grinding power violence, wisely slowing things to a feedback-soaked crawl to let the damage sink in.

Within the vast and often chaotic global network that is the DIY Hardcore scene, like-minded bands may often exist for years without even being aware of each other. When their paths finally cross though, even under the most coincidental circumstances, strong and very fruitful alliances may be forged instantly. This is exactly what happened when SANGHARSHA, a NYC-based band consisting of four Nepali guys, who have been channeling the struggle of existence into crushing Hardcore since 2010 met German Negative Hardcore outfit BLANK, who have released two records entitled ‘Calix’ and ‘Suspiria’ and played shows all over Europe since their inception in 2011. The axis New York-Ohligs-Kathmandu will be strong in 2015 teaming up for a split LP entitled 'Intermundia' as well as a short US-Tour in July/August. 'Intermundia' contains three new songs by each band, showcasing their different takes on dark, modern, crushing Hardcore. The whole affair was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege and will be out on Alerta Antifascista and Holy Goat Records

This is the final record from the Insect Warfare-influenced, vicious Florida grindcore outfit Cellgraft. After their final show on September 1st at the Brass Mug in Tampa, Florida they're calling it quits. They've generously left this unrelenting jagged shard of Grindcore as their final word. Their records have been tremendous, truly doing the grind scene proud, and it's really a shame that they've split - especially considering they deserve a ton of attention for their hard work and dedication to face shredding Grindcore over their short 3 year existence.Self-titled and raw as you could ask for, this record is as short as any GridLink release and approaching their level of might and ferocity, while sidestepping technicality and barreling head-long into darkened, brutal speed. Outside of the opening track "False Sequence of Value" there is only one other track of the 17 here that approaches one minute in length. The opener is also the slowest you'll ingest too, at least for the first minute as it clobbers you with a maniacal set of distorted groves.

Abstracter is a blackened sludge-doom band with crust influences hailing from Oakland CA, founded in 2010 by Robin Kahn and Mattia Alagna with the intent of creating the darkest, bleakest, and most punishing music they could come up with. Influenced by legendary bands like Swans, Amebix, Godflesh, Corrupted, His Hero Is Gone, and Blut Aus Nord. Abstracter has shared a stage with bands like Bell Witch, Mass Grave, Noothgrush, Buried At Sea, Unearthly Trance, Acephalix, Sleep, Graves At Sea and many more, presenting the world with their own brand of apocalyptic, hopeless and darkness-fueled music driven by crushing, grim, and dissonant guitar work, apocalyptic themes and lyrical content, and absolutely blood-freezing and plague-ridden atmospheres. Dark Circles is a three piece band from Montreal, Canada who formed in early 2013. Dark Circles play a dark, metallic, and crust tinged style of hardcore. Musically, Dark Circles can be loosely compared to bands such as Hexis, Svffr, Holy, and other-like minded bands. On their side of the split, Dark Circles offer up four tracks of brutal as fuck sounding blackened/crust tinged modern hardcore.
