It's CROSSOVER revival: M.O.D. "True Color" music video

We're going through some crossover revival times. Actually, it's not the very first time, and you can bet this will happen again and again; here one among the original forefathers of this border-crossing genre, New York's M.O.D. (short for Method of Destruction) who, 30 years ago, debuted with the sickening sarcastic people-pissing off full-length "U.S.A. for M.O.D."
Watch this fun-packed music video for the song "True Colors" off their '89 album "Gross Miscunduct".
https://youtu.be/RisLXHw8KmM

Earlier this year the band released the longtime-in-the-works eighth studio album titled "Busted, Broke & American" on legendary NYC's label Megaforce records -this for those who may care a little.

France's SCHOOLYARDS - COMRADES 2.0 music video (feat. Cédric Pouiol Beast & Toki The Arrs)

Mitry-Mory, France resident and self-labelled rock'n'core combo SCHOOLYARDS (with members of Memories of Dead Man, Dirty Baztard, Ana sage, The Arrs, Beast, if you know the French HC PUNK scene these names may ring a bell) has just released an official music video for the song "Comrades 2.0", a demo version of the eponym song to be featured on their upcoming debut album.
The lyrics address the GAFA tax evasion scheme which jeopardises the nations sovereignty at its core.

SEX PRISONER - HARM DONE - Split 12"/CD/Tape, upcoming Euro tour kicking off on Oct. the 25th

A bulldozer of a split from USA's SEX PRISONER and France, Nantes based's HARM DONE...

After they worked on a European tour happening in October 2017 both bands decided to release a split record. 8 tracks (4 each) of their own kind of furious Powerviolence / Hardcore filled with Metal influences.

SEX PRISONER, Tucson, Arizona - powerviolence/Hardcore unit, sounds a lot like Crossed Out mixed with some Infest. The sound is heavy, abrasive, and definitely rife with anger. They rarely venture into full-on thrash, which is a plus and offering sixteen furious bursts of burly powerviolence/hardcore.

HARM DONE, featuring members of RAW JUSTICE, DIREWOLVES and REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER, started in the Fall 2013. They recorded their debut 7″ in April 2014, a promo tape in May 2015 and debut full length later the same year. They play some kind of cold and no frills powerviolence filled with speed, ignorant breakdowns and HM2 metallic guitar sound.
This record is a collaboration between 4 labels: STRAIGHT & ALERT records and RSR records for the European pressing. DEEP SIX records and TO LIVE A LIE records for the North American pressing. And the artwork is cortesy of Sebastian Bxe (Negativ Null).

You can listen here to the 2-minute trailer Straight And Alert records made for pushing the split https://youtu.be/cISsQNl8wqE

Psychedelic ritualists ETHEREAL RIFFIAN release a new documentary

This psychedelic litanistic heavy experimental doom rock band from Kiev, Ukraine kind of stands among a league of its own; not just because of the crossing of musical boundaries and heading out to unknown roads but the whole complex yet entralling concept, vision and drive behind this artistic project.
As the quartet states "The band’s activity has two main objectives: to compose unconventional music, which is able to expand the frames of the listener’s musical perception, and to shed light on the existence of a subtler plan, whose laws if understood properly may help to perceive the reality on a deeper level".
The band released their latest opus "Afterlight" on August the 17th.

The new documentary “Ethereal Riffian Relics” is dedicated to the band’s very special approach to crafting limited editions. It’s divided into two parts: in the first one, frontman Val Kornev answers 10 questions about ETHEREAL RIFFIAN’s limited editions series; in the second one, all limited editions created by the band to date are showcased.

The band comments: “We already have a short documentary called “Robust Rehearsal”, which describes the background of the band, its creative world, work in literature and its very essential philosophical and spiritual components,” says band leader Val Kornev. “And now we release “Ethereal Riffian Relics” documentary which explains the role of visual presentation and can help our listeners to create a more thorough understanding of our work. This short film will be of interest for all lovers of limited editions, for those who already create exclusive items and for those who only have an intention to create it”.

Now streaming: Czech Rep's REMEK "LP"

This isn't actually a brand new record since it was released on May 4th 2014 but we believe it's really worth checking out.
LP, yeah that's how it looks like they named it, is the second to last release of Czech screamo diy foursome REMEK, a prominent band among the Czech Rep. hardcore punk scene around since 2010.
Their song are screamed in the band's mother-tongue language but you can read the English translation available for each and every track.
I have learned off bandcamp the band is behind and involved with Coffee Breath Records, a label through which they release records on a pay-what-you-want basis and give the money they collect to organizations they care about—mostly those that work around human rights and animal liberation.

MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY - Live @ Superbowl Hardcore - Pescara 24/02/1996

I was recently going through the tales H.P. Lovercraft, the famed horror fiction poet/writer from Providence, wrote in the last years of his career going from 1931 to 1936 (the tales include the classics "At The Mountains Of Madness" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"). In these writings the uncanny name Miskatonic University, the fictional varsity located in the likewise imaginary city of Arkham, which comes up in several of his stories, took me down memory lane and made me think of a 90's harcore band from Ravenna, Italy.
The 4-piece band, bringing the same name of Lovercraftian university, has been around in the Italian and European punk hardcore between 1992 and 2000 and self-labelled their blend of metallic hardcore sounds and pulp culture infused lyrics Pulp-Core.
Before calling it a day the Miska released two full-length albums, the s/t dated 1993 and the 1995's follow-up "There Will Be Only One" on Boundless records (their own label), and 3 7" EPs.
In 1996, at the peak of their "career" (quote from the band), Miskatonic University played the Pescara Superbowl Hardcore on Feb. the 24th and somebody shot the video of their whole gig you can watch here -it was 1996 so don't complain about video and sound quality, which is pretty good all things considered https://youtu.be/CEk1DPnFZ3s
