Cult of Youth "Cult of Youth" LP

Born out of a love for the post-industrial music and culture that had inspired him ever since he had first discovered music as a teenager, Cult of Youth began as a series of home recordings by founder Sean Ragon. Ragon’s solo Cult of Youth project released a 7-inch and then one full length on then fledgling Dais Records (also responsible for introducing the world to Cold Cave and releasing Genesis P-Orridge’s pre-Throbbing Gristle recordings for the first time). The early recordings seemed to strike a chord with many people who felt alienated by the cultural irony and lo-fi slacker mentality that was ever present in independent music at the time. Adding three permanent members to the line-up: performance artist/director/painter/occult scholar Micki Pellerano on bass, machinist drummer Glenn Maryanski, and the violin virtuoso/goddess Christiana Key. (Key’s brilliant string arrangements were recently featured on new Zola Jesus single “Poor Animal.”)

Trap Them " Darker Handcraft "

To appreciate Trap Them's new album, Darker Handcraft, it helps to start with the Filth Rations EP from 2010. Trap Them has consistently charged its hardcore side into a collision with metal that refuses to get dragged down in grime.

The four songs on Filth Rations give as sure a sign as ever that the band's craft and tightness can always match its sheer impatience. The third track, "Dead Fathers Wading In The Bodygrounds," keeps up a gimpy, stumbling trudge as the drums gradually thud harder, and vocalist Ryan McKenney bellows himself up to a pitch that invokes scalding tears and unforgivable injuries. There's a sense that Trap Them is in a desperate frenzy to repeatedly overload their songs, lest a single McKenney roar or screech of feedback from the guitar go unused. Even the cramped handwriting of the lyrics in the EP's liner notes looks more like a dozen rows of snaggled teeth than a sequence of words.

FY FAN "ingen framtid for alltid"

HARDCORE-PUNK. Sweden's FY FAN return with a 6 track 7" of short, fast, raw swedish hardcore-punk. Their most abrasive output to date! It's like a swift slap in the face! Clocking in at just 7min., bringing to mind early POISON IDEA, ANTI-CIMEX and MOB 47.

Lord Green "Last Demo"

Lord Green's "Last Demo" isn't the end of the bands reign as kings of Quad Cities punk rock. It is however the final chapter in a series of self released demo tapes... These eight songs of blistering punk rock show Lord Green somewhat expanding their punk palette into the realm of sludge, rock, and more metal. It's thrasy, it's loud, and you will love it. Tracks 1-5 were recorded by Ray Malone at Sound and Vision. Tracks 6-8 were recorded by Mitch Pilon at The House.

413 " Path to Hocma "

413 es el nombre tras el que se esconde el joven donostiarra David Pisabarro. Bajista de instrumento y autodidacta de vocación, se fogueó primero en diversos grupos de la escena local, en los que se empezó a vislumbrar su destreza como músico heterodoxo y escritor, cuidador en todo momento de sonidos, texturas y letras. Ahondando siempre en el lado oscuro del arte y del ser humano, la música de 413 es pasional, buscando siempre nuevos límites a las convenciones que se han ido estableciendo poco a poco en la música contemporánea, cada vez más situado en el filo experimental, se podría decir que a caballo entre el post-folk y el post-rock, y sin miedo nunca al riesgo sonoro.

I Want You Dead "We are the Legions of Scums"

The riffs are all epic and stick to your mind, and so do the vocals which have some pretty nice catchphrases thrown at the listener's face. In this way, the chaotic element actually becomes a tool for IWYD without leading their whole sound. Clever shit. The rhythm section follows through in a manic style, with hardcore drumming blasts that just go crazy and give you the impression that the dude is having the time of his life doing this. It is perfect to hear some heavy hardcore grooves matched with straight on hardcore drumming. I had missed that!

Shroud Eater " ThunderNoise "

Well, the people asked for it and here it is: our beloved Shroud Eater's first full-length effort, Thunder Noise. And I can tell you whole-heartedly that it continues the savagery and unrestrained stoner metal doom laid out in 2009's self-titled EP.

Nothing short of a category-five hurricane, Thunder Noise brings on everything that is good to the foreground with sadistic gusto. These are eleven tracks of soul-destroying, mind-melting chaos.

Light Bearer "Promo "

Here’s a band worth keeping an eye on. Light Bearer, formerly Aeshættr (UK), may be the most ambitious post-metal project to emerge from the British underground since the mighty Fall of Efrafa. After years of writing, the band has just wrapped up the recording of its debut full-length, ‘Lapsus’, the first chapter of a four-part epic recounting the tale of Lucifer’s banishment from heaven.

Ruidosa Inmundicia " Huellas de odio ep "

Is out now on HeartFirst and I am very happy with the way it turned out. It has eight smoking songs, totally powerful and the vocals are some of the best in Hardcore punk today. In case you had the chance to see this band live you know what they can deliver, they just came back from playing the UK and a short tour of Germany. Their first EP from 2005 on THOUGHT CRIME was one of the best-selling records in the HeartFirst mailorder ever. The band members also rule as persons and I am more than happy to release their new EP. Comes in neat packaging, too.

The catalyst " Marianas trench "

I expected screamo and got abrasive scum-rock, so that’s a big fat tick right there. In fact, it’s a bit of the former and a lot of the latter, what with the Karp / Jesus Lizard / Unsane worship in the mix with those offbeat screamo rhythmics and vocals. The songs here are collected from a number of separate releases, so the variability in production jobs doesn’t help the bittiness of some tracks, what with some of the constructions merely feeling like some riffs (albeit very neat ones) jammed together. Lyrics are in firmly in the oblique nonsense camp, but they trip off the tongue nicely and match the nastiness of the rawk. This is good stuff, and it will be interesting to see what they do next.

Criaturas " Arañas en el Corazon "

HARDCORE-PUNK. This is yet another Austin-based hardcore band that released a demo sometime last year. This 4 song slab of catchy hardcore-punk music makes up for that. There have been many interesting bands and sounds coming out of Texas for the past couple years, and it seems this band is no exception to that. Harsh, ferocious, fast, other assorted adjectives. This band has members of DESKONOCIDOS and the vocalist screeches harmoniously in Spanish.

Borne from the Baton Rouge scene, sharing some dna with EYEHATEGOD, THOU emulate lava crawling down the mountainside; the impending weight of a crushingly distorted music extremity. Drawing influences from both the hardcore (CURSED, HIS HERO IS GONE) and doom scenes (BURNING WITCH, CORRUPTED, GRIEF), THOU slip neatly between the two. THOU is now primed to define the future of what slow and heavy music may become and "summit" showcases the band at their most progressive,

RUN WITH THE HUNTED

HARDCORE. On their debut, RUN WITH THE HUNTED has architected songs founded around the heaviness and technicality of bands like INDECISION and TURMOIL intermixed with the strong, noisy flourishes akin to BOTCH and CATHARSIS. The end result as shown on their self-titled album is anything but the typical aping of either niched genre - it's a powerful combination of both, without the shortcomings of either and a unique style all its own.

Planks " The Darkest Of Grays "

the darkest of grays" is PLANKS second full-length output and the first for their new label Per Koro. It features 12 songs that are pretty much different from their first self-titled record. Yet it is totally PLANKS. The band focused more on the dynamic aspekt in their music instead of sheer brutality.

The songs are all full of different nuances, tempi changes and have an undeniable sense of melody. Stylewise don't expect Pop Music here, even though there are clearly some structures of a classic ('80s dark-wave ) Pop Song to be found. If you feel the urge to describe the whole thing, you could imagine a blending of Breach's "kollapse" with Mastodon's "leviathan" mixed with Isis "oceanic" , "closer" by Joy Division and some classic Norwegian Black-Metal such as Dark Throne's "transilvanian Hunger". It all sounds rather unique and contemporary.
If you enjoy bands such as the ones mentioned before as well acts such as Wolves In The Throne Room, Catharsis, Amen Ra and Damnation a.D. this record might be your cup of black coffee.

Starve "Wasteland" LP

On the heels of their four-song demo, dingy Dutch doom act Starve is already back with their first full-length outing, "Wasteland" (released by Badger Records), which unloads 10 songs in nearly 50 minutes. All four songs from the demo appear here in re-recorded form, and there's a crisper recording this time out that gives the individual elements a bit more space in the mix – especially the vocals, which are a little more out in front now. Overall they maintain a natural sense of warmth and a thick, gritty density that fits this style perfectly, but now you can really hear the detail in those nasty pulses of bass, and the vocals have an extra smidge of attitude and intensity that provides more emotion to the lyrical delivery. For the most part the songwriting approach is still a fairly straightforward dose of crawling, rumbling sludge with snarling vocals (though the lyrics definitely tend to have more of a serious message with this band), but they are starting to bring in a wider range of tactics. A handful of riffs toss in some extra dissonance (most notably the excellent "Einzelgänger", which feels even more twisted than it did on the demo), occasionally the vocals will open up into a less strained form of yelling, the title track drops some wickedly piercing feedback, and there are a handful of bleak clean passages that flirt with a hint more of a bluesy flavor. Shit, there's even a quick bit of slide guitar in a couple tracks, and any band that breaks out the slide definitely means business! I never feel like I can really make my point with words these days, but hopefully the music will make the point for me…

INTRONAUT look to surprise the genre with an effort that will keep people on their toes wondering just what is going to hit them next.
