KRIEGSHÖG – s/t. LP (IMPORT)

KRIEGSHÖG – Love & Revenge LP (IMPORT)

KRIEGSHÖG is back. Five years after their last single and 14 since their debut album, the Tokyo Hardcore band finally delivers a new release. Love and Revenge is a record of consummate savagery and monster riffs. Picking up where Paint It Black 7” left, and moving forward as a heavy toned hardcore record that finds the band in its own realm. While following the Japanese tradition of long running bands operating at their own pace and mastering their sound along the way. The band leave behind their speedier sound, moving now at a slower tempo but still pummelling their riffing sound. The incorporation of a new drummer, adds much more than a steady beat, amplifying the KRIEGSHÖG sonic experience. Their sound is bass-driven to the point of near hypnosis, becoming quasi-psychedelic at times. The guitar tone is a nasty crunch and the vocal delivery has only got more brutal, with a glass eating demon on the mic conjuring the darkest side of your soul. Perfect for night rides into the abyss.

FROM ASHES RISE - Silence LP (EOP Version)

From Ashes Rise are in the same vein as His Hero Is Gone and Tragedy, and anyone who likes those bands will be blown away by the awesome assault of these smoldering hardcore songs. The sound is powerful and harsh, but with a very good sense of hidden melody and catchy riffs & it is even more brutal & "melodic", but also more complex than their earlier stuff. Fantastic.

MARXBROS / TRAVOLTA - Split LP

The "Marxbrothers" (Lärm/Seein Red/Manliftingbanner) strike again! Super excited on this one! TRAVOLTA is crushing Belgian fast blasty punk and MARXBROS are an amazing mash up of ex-Lärm and ex-Seein Red plus Chris Dodge expertly joining the recording on bass. Intense as it get's!
