ROTSCHRECK "The Transformation" a relic from UK's extreme metal

A relic from the past, "The Transformation" by ROTSCHRECK a Scottish, Dundee based, death metal, with a hardcore and groovy punch, that had their stint among the UK's extreme metal scene between the years 1996-2002.

Their sound shows all its influences still the record sounds fresh, and I love the doomy feel and brutal growls reminescent of famed Peaceville's death-doom bands era.

Enjoy!

SINAYA - "Afterlife" ft. CJ McMahon of THY ART IS MURDER (Official Music Video)

SINAYA hails from Brazil and state to be the first all-female Deathcore band in the world over.

Be the statement fully true or not, the gals kick asses and I like the screams and barking from Mylena Monaco, which are sick from the opening line when she sings "Look at life from the other side"; the feature by CJ hands the song a bit more of variety (like for 2-frontman bands) and brutality vocal-wise.

Enjoy!

THE STONE EYE - Aleutian Summer (official music video)

This band THE STONE EYE are easily labeled grunge alt rock, and you can defintitely hear influences from the likes of Alice In Chains (vocal-wise and this hooked me up) but not the typical early Sub Pop stuff or other grungy sounds.

There's some stoner shit with the main riff reminding of Queens Of The Stone Age though there's way more going with this band from Philadephia, PA.

Listen to them and enjoy!

Listen to DEVOID OF THOUGHT death metal from Italia

Listen to DEVOID OF THOUGHT, brutal death from Italy -their label Everlasting Spew Records uses the term cosmic to give hints on their sound and mentions Voivod among the influences... the artwork has definitely something cosmic and with some HP Lovercraft's disturbing outerworlds scenaries feel to it.

FACE TO FACE's Scott on Iron Maiden influences in "Bent But Not Broken"

What have been the main influences for virtuoso melodic punk hardcore and punk rock bass players? Several would be the obvious, 99% accurate, answer, right? But let's think about some; we hear players being influenced by those pioneering the punk hardcore genre (guys like Dead Kennedys' Klaus Flouride, Descendents' Tony Lombardo, RKL's Joe Raposo, The Clash's Paul Simonon, The Who's John Entwistle) some taking hints from more rock'n'roll blues and reggae oldies (Rancid / Operation Ivy's Matt Freeman) and an impressive bunch influenced by Steve Harris and melodic riffing of mighty Iron Maiden. And the Iron Maiden's list could go on and on, especially among the bass shredders in melodic skate punk, but to name a few I'd think of Face to Face / No Use For A Name's Matt 

Anthrax's CHARLIE BENANTE on "Gung Ho" mosh doublebass drumming

You can also watch the shoter clip where ANTHRAX play the song https://youtu.be/b2_vrtmuwzs

Enjoy!😀

OVERCAST Massachusetts' metalcore oldies but goldies

OVERCAST, forefathers, definitely pioneers, of US metal core, this way earlier the term was even recognized, reunited for a second time over 2014-15 year span to play some shows before Mike D'Antonio (Killswitch Engage), Brian Fair (Shadow Fall) and Peter Cortese started up the side-project Death Ray Vision (with three records out on Bullet Tooth records), and switched Overcast to perhaps definite hiatus mode.

Among their live videos up on YouTube (some capturing their '96/'98 period when the band was killing it) I've recently watched the show they performed at This Is Hardcore 2014 in Philly.

The video, the sound and band kick ass through the 18+ min show.

Watch it!

VOID 00 "Dopo Un Lungo Silenzio" extreme void from Italia

The new streaming up this week is nothing new really. Why? well, the record was released last year in March 2020, right in the distressing, convulsed "very first" phase of Covid-19 pandemic when infection rate in my country was (was it that really recorded and elaborated properly?) sky-rocketing on a daily basis and death was bashing elderly and not-so-old but frigile people.

"Dopo Un Lungo Silenzio" (it took them 5 years to follow-up to their first s/t release) is the latest 6-track record from Jesi, Italia, VOID 00, a combo devoted to the most obscure heavy doomy droony sounds that will take you deep down to and lost into the most profound abysses of earth and the universe all.

Now streaming TORSO "Home Wrecked", feminist hardcore punk d-beat

Check out the fifth release from California, Oakland based TORSO (ah...the foursome feats two gals and there's a dude from Milano on drums and I see a Wretched t-shirt).

This recently released three tracks effort "Home Wrecked" packs tons of raw energy and urgency, and it's graced by ubercool black&white cover art.
