Is this a new band with an ex member of Tear It Up? That was my first impression, how I thought this sounded like a Havoc records band, with a touch more metal to them. It’s a little bit of a grower, but I still enjoyed it. Label: Strike Three Records -

"Invite Your Soul" draws influences from hardcore, punk, metal and rock taking Zero Mentality's signature sound to new levels of crushing heaviness and melodic intensity. "Invite Your Soul" is the latest offering from German hardcore sensation Zero Mentality. Expanding the sound created on their debut album "In Fear Of Forever" was never going to be an easy task, but Zero Mentality rose to the challenge and delivered 11 songs of titanic proportions that scream emotions such as hate, love, angst and hope and that musically draws influences from hardcore, punk, metal and rock taking their already signature sound to new levels of crushing heaviness and melodic intensity drawing the listener into their world and their domain. Consistent with the ever evolving sound that Zero Mentality created since their inception in 2002, "Invite Your Soul" is not only a rollercoaster ride of emotion but crosses genre borders in a way that is coherrent, new and exciting throughout this epic journey that climaxes with an instrumental that balances emotion with musical grace and power. Where others fall behind, Zero Mentality remain true to their vision of creating a blitzkrieg of styles and diversity, straining on the leash to thrust forward and keep their onslaught and quest venturing on, yet always retaining their almost pop like structured songs memorable and easy to remember. "Invite Your Soul" will be as fresh in 10 years as it is today and will contribute to the legacy of the hardcore, punk, metal and rock genres like no album before it.

What do members of Trial, Test of Time, Expired Youth and Decline have in common? A love for classic hardcore and a band called Bystander. Their path was paved by Youth Of Today, Chain of Strength, Judge and others, yet Bystander breathes new life into the genre´s boundaries both musically and lyrically. What you hear on this five song EP is powerful oldschool hardcore coupled with heartfelt lyrics which take a look both inward and outward at the same time. This is a band calling for internal reflection while engaging the scene to be more than just passive bystanders themselves. Label: WAK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87O5y_95vnQ

"Finally a new record from this awesome band from Cleveland! Close your eyes and imagine that His Hero is Gone and Amebix got together and had a child… got it? Ok, now imagine that that child grows up in a dank room full of teenage angst, listening to nothing but Death Side and Disfear records until he is 21 years-old. Now open your eyes and what you have is Masakari, a crust punk band from Cleveland, Ohio.” (Southern Lord Recordings)

WILD AS ALL FUCKING GET OUT! Debut album by Kohti Tuhoa, a wild Finnish hardcore group with members of Kylmä Sota among others. Naming Framtid and Rattus as principal influences, the quartet knocked many a punk fan out with their debut 7" EP last year. This full length album is taking things closer to the limit and pushing them over the edge. Vocalist Helenas' vocals are some of the most unhinged, maniacal evocations heard since early era Negazione! Label: Southern Lord

Manchester's straight edge troupee xCurraheex has been going through hectic times in the last two years, with a lot of membership changes, causing delays with recordings and cancelled shows. But these times belong to the past – vocalist Smit and drummer Mike are now joined by Mike Wright and Adam on guitar and bass respectively and are back on track! Hence, the title of the record! This 7” contains five songs, partly recorded more than over a year ago, that were only recently finished by the new line-up. Compared to their previous release, the 'Why We Fight' 7”, the guitar work is a bit more experimental, with quite some tempo changes and breaks, but despite that, it's still 100% energetic and fast straight edge hardcore. Artwork is again done by Javi and the record comes on green vinyl! (Commitment Records)

Cryptic Cross Words is the 5th album that Paranoid Visions have released since their 2006 reboot. Add to this the multitude of singles and a myriad of historical re-releases and compilations and it becomes clear that Paranoid Visions are a band who are not content to sit back and relax or attempt to trade on past glories. Indeed founder members Deko and P.A are of the opinion that there are no past glories with the recent releases being more reflective of what the band were about in the first place. Cryptic Cross Words, a culmination of a year’s recording and writing is an attempt to craft a specific album with a specific modus operandi. “With every release we have done, there has always been a compromise, and certain styles or genres we have wanted to explore have been almost achieved, but not executed the way we imagined them … until now”. Switching rhythm section and losing a backing vocalist in early 2014 gave the band the opportunity to form the perfect line-up and create what the band believe is best album they have ever made. It’s certainly a more focussed and strategic release that relies on soundscapes and moods that co-exist with the various musical genres the band continues to dip into. But it explores these cohesively with production that has been described by one early reviewer as being “crisp but avoids the sheen of the nu”. Certainly this album owes as much to UK Decay as it does to UK Subs, or is “more magazine than fanzine”. Lyrically the album is tackling different subjects ranging from the Catholic church’s abuse of children, invasion in the Ukraine, sexual harmony, working culture and the voice of the downtrodden public on the verge of snapping. In the case of Anagram Sam the lyrics consist entirely of anagrams (Anagram Sam, he’s one of those NAMELESS SALESMEN, his LIFE is a FILE of anagrams, he’s the SENATOR for TREASON etc etc….you get the picture!!) whilst the album’s closer, “baNAMA Republic” is a delicate slow building acoustic song spanning seven minutes and sung by Aoife Destruction detailing the fall of the Irish economy and the corruption that facilitated it.

A rising star on the SxE Hardcore scene was born on the ashes of some legendary bands like Think Twice, By All Means, Product, Ageing, Onfall, Substance,… This brand new band at their debut vinyl release offers 6 songs of superb songwriting reminding us of the golden age of oldschool Hardcore. These kids grew up on bands like Chain Of Strength and Youth Of Today and followed the genre through bands like First Step, Carry On, Betrayed,… Two Words put on the table a very modern sound that builds on those influences. A truly incredible debut! (Goodwill Records)

Southern Lord seem to have left the doomy drones of their past behind, at least for 2011. Heartless continues the label’s trek into contemporary hardcore metal, and ‘Hell Is Other People’ is an expert splinter of the genre, with the Pennsylvania act tramping through thirteen songs in a mere twenty-one minutes. Not a second is wasted as they bring to mind the best of ‘Scum’-era Napalm and more contemporary metal-core activists Raspberry Bulbs or Bone Awl. Those with a need for pounding, guttural axe wielding should check immediately. (Southern Lord Records)

Earlier this year BL’AST! guitarist, Mike Neider contacted Southern Lord with news that he had found some mysterious old BL’AST! master tapes in a abandoned storage locker. Greg Anderson, fanatical about BL’AST!, wasted no time in sending the tapes to a studio to be baked. Needless to say, after 25 years gathering dust, the quality had deteriorated. Even when the tapes had been baked, nobody could have anticipated what would follow. With the tapes baked and audio digitised, Southern Lord contacted long time BL’AST! fiend, Dave Grohl about mixing this recording, his response was an enthusiastic “FUCK YEAH!, LETS DO THIS”! Whilst inside Grohl’s famous 606 Studios (and with the Neve console as featured in the recent Grohl produced documentary ’Sound City’) a remarkable discovery was made – a completely unheard, unreleased BL’AST! recording session from the mid–80s. The lineup of the band at the time of the recording included second guitarist William Duvall (from Neon Christ & interestingly now the vocalist for Alice In Chains) who had moved from his hometown of Atlanta out to Santa Cruz on a tip from mutual friends, Corrosion of Conformity to join the band. Unfortunately his tenure with BL’AST! was short–lived and no recordings from that lineup were ever released. From the thunderous bass intro of “Only Time Will Tell” to the apocalyptic warnings of “Its In My Blood” the album completely rips and rages from start to finish. All parties involved were completely amazed at how vibrant, unique and new the material sounded. All things considered, it is miraculous that this record survived it’s journey and that everyone who was involved in bringing this recording to life, could be. Everything fell into place, when it could have easily crumbled along the way. This record is a time capsule that is meant to be heard! Label: Southern Lord Recordings Barcode: 808720018929

This album is the accumulation of two of the worst years of our lives. During these trying times of emotional and social turbulence NTEKA was our shelter, safe space and go-to coping mechanism to deal with all this struggle, sorrow and anger. This album is not only our defense but also an attack towards the new politics of control being shoved down our throats. A way not only to express our frustration but to reclaim our voices, our bodies, our lives, the way we want. As we see it, the only way to accomplish this was by doing things ourselves and by building a network of like minded people outside of the commercial game, without bosses, payments, obligation and third parties' mediations. The band is a part of a self organized music studio (STUΔIO) in Athens and everything was done there from scratch. In this space we learned how to play our instruments, we jammed continuously, we laughed, we cried, we shouted collectively. In this space we became a band. By expressing what we feel through our music and lyrics, we try to reconnect with our feeling, stop the massive numbness that is being forced upon us the last years and break the vicious circles of being trapped in situations that never seem to change or improve. This is a call to spit yr gum, move forward, do what... more Written By NTEKA Recording & Mixing by Sotiris Ziliaskopoulos Mastered By Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios Cover Layout By Marimba Tzatziki (Self Released)

Norways gloomiest and heaviest crust-monster is back! 4 years after their first full lenght "Scavengers Feast" , they unleash a brand new studio album of 10 manic and intense Bulldozer-Crust anthems that come along with a distinctive blackened vibe and a vary of fast and mid-tempo elements in their songwriting not unlike old Black Metal but with a way better production and a hell lot of sound and urge for power in their production! A guttural sick wibe within the vocals, a bass and drum unit that weights several tons and a heavy shredding and chugging guitar that creates a sonic juggernaut of grim and dire tunes reminding here and there of the impact and fusion of a vintage CELTIC FROST VOIVOID and even a crucial crust SLAYER! - SOMMON THE CROWS` deliver a misanthropic view upon the state of mind we're in.
