This new 7" by Paris Dark punkers BLEAKNESS features two unreleased songs from the last album studio session, they were put on hold to get the spotlight they deserve, as the band is already working on new material it was time to release them. A side song "Words" is the last song the band wrote before entering the studio, it is another death-rock anthem while B side "Greed" is based on riffs written during the bands' first ever European tour years ago, it is reminiscent of the early 80's melancholic SoCal California hardcore punk scene. With both songs gathered together, this 7" is a good summary of the musical spectre of the band between hardcore and punk post, more energetic than ever and for sure with a heavy done of guitar melancholy. } Pressed on red vinyl. Co-released with à La Carte Records (USA) Distro-y Records (Ireland) Inhumano (Switzerland) Kick Rock Records(France) Kink Records (Germany) Scream Records (Poland) Tormenta de Idea Records (Spain) Label: Scarecrow Records

The musical influences on the debut album are as diverse as the artists themselves. The melancholic song Cataphiles harks back to The Cure at the beginning of their pop phase in the mid-80s. A River pays tribute to early Californian death rock à la Voodoo Church. Rubbish Kids and Days of Despair forge a link to the current Goth Punk like Christ vs Warhol or Pawns. Furthermore, there are recurring elements of classic English goth rock and post-punk. This broad spectrum is one of the strengths of the album. The band brings the dark flair of the 80s into the modern age without sounding antiquated creating their very own style. The lyrics are empowering and encourage us to think about things, such as friendship with our own inner emptiness, about the punk in our hearts or unknown worlds under our feet. The album was recorded live in January 2022 at Sunsetter Recording Studio Bremen. (Sabotage Records)

Three years after their second album “Return Of The Empire”, the italian Vampire punx combo returns with their new full length „New Wave of Fear’’. The tunes got darker and less punk than their previous releases but, all in all, the formula hasn’t changed too much, and, hell yeah, this is a concept album about life and death. The A side has been named “This Side” and deals with things that belong to the world we’re living (immigration, the rise of the extreme right wing parties, terror, life in general etc.). The B side has been named “Other Side” and it’s all dedicated about death. It’s a more intense record and definitely better than their old ones, and you can also hear the crusty roots of some of the members in their last song where Amebix and Fields Of The Nephilim meet in a no men’s land to face the end of it all. Tracks A1 to B4 recorded and mixed at Ink Studio on 26/29 November 2017. Track B5 recorded on a 4 tracks deck at Maple Death cellar on 17 November 2016. Originally performed by Wretched, it appears on the "Die Schwartzen Keller Session" flexi single released by the band itself for the 2017 U.S. tour. Tracklist A1 Intro 1:09 A2 Grey Shadows 4:43 A3 New Wave Of Fear 3:55 A4 Forward 4:36 A5 We Are The Ones 4:19 B6 On The Other Side 4:46 B7 Behind 3:51 B8 Don't Dance With Me 2:10 B9 Upside Down 3:50 B10 Democrazia Recorded By – Jonathan Clancy, Nico Pasquini 2:04 Label: HeavyTape
