Bad Blood
“The Bad Kind Decides” (Flatspot Records, 2023)

The idea of Terror and Violent Way, in the same place, made me smile a good smile. I would never imagine these two together, to be honest. I dig Terror. They are a cool band with a very solid sound. They have the sing along and the “I am going to stab you” thing to them. Violent Way is another one of those precious bands that makes this sound that makes me want to go out and murder a few Fascists! Punk Oi! at its best, full of power and that British melody. Now imagine these two together…

Well, Warzone is calling. “No nonsense Hardcore with a punch and pulse”, by Scott Vogel (Terror), and I must agree. From the moment you press PLAY, to the moment it ends, it is a non-stop of power and destruction; thunderous drums and cutting guitar riffs. The formula is quite simple, but not all are able to make it happen, of course.

“716 Bust / Bad Blood”, bass killer, pow! Beautiful opening riff, just beautiful. “Buuuuust”, Scott said it… and then he just starts screaming and spitting all over the front row. Fuck it, this is a bloody opener! “Fear is All” has this break, this change in pace, that makes it a huge track! Energy and power and raw human strength. Again, the formula worked perfectly, and these 5 tracks are proof of that. “Lost to Sin” is a faster track, straight for the jugular. Killer! “Apology Denied” has a spectacular guitar riff. The kind of riff that puts on the edge of your seat, unstable and extremely excited. “The Bad Kind” is, just like the ones that came before it, a fast, yet short, race against a bloody wall LOL the guitar riff that echoes from the back makes it all worth. Amazing song and the Real Deal, ladies, and gents. And then you get this Old School Hardcore moment where you just two tone your way through the pit, fist pumping with your old Agnostic Front ripped up tee. Man… press PLAY again, please.

“Bad Blood. Feel the tension in the air. You don’t belong here!” Real fucking deal Hard Mothafuckin’ Core!

Beyond Helvete - “Anthem of Decay” (Immortal Frost Productions, 2022). Immortal Frost Productions has given us 2 tremendous Black Metal works this year: Corpus Christii and Pyra. Both different, but both within the realm of Black Metal (and Death Metal). This work, by Beyond Helvete, is the 3 rd IFP work I have access to, and we again drop into the universe of Black Metal. Slightly different from the already mentioned ones, but still ferocious and full of power. Beyond Helvete has been around since 2007, and Natrgaard, the man behind it, has been delivering the goods. Imagine the strength of a band like Marduk, that endurance, that consistent show of power… Beyond Helvete lives in a similar bubble, although not reaching the quality the Swedes have gathered throughout these many years of presence in the Black Metal Global scene. Nonetheless, it sounds as a good example to describe one of the facets of the German musician without limiting it to A or B. The track that names the alb...

  Psychonaut 4 “… Of Mourning” (Immortal Frost Productions, 2024) Psychonaut 4 have been spreading their specific human condition for several years now, 14 to be more precise, and only now have I contacted their sound! The name was well-known, but the music was not. I have never been a fan of the more depressive side of the genre, and these lads live inside that sphere; thing is, their sound has small details that sound differently. There is a different dynamic in all their sound, an almost progressive and psychedelic approach. No, not a Floydian one, ok? They have guitar solos that sound quite cheerful. Wait… are they not on the depressive side of the globe? Maybe they are… The more you listen to this record, the more you are able to hear the different moments the band has crafted. Several emotions and stages of existence. Funny how their sound has these 2 opponent personas: sadness and joyfulness. Well, I can hear and feel moments of clarity and clear skies. But sadness does ...

  Kratti “Matka Kohti Kosmista” (Signal Rex, 2024) “Kratti are the ascending newcomers of the bleak fields of Finnish Black Metal!” That is one bold statement, right? You need to be good at something before you go out and say that. Well… let’s find out. Kratti is a 3 man Finnish straight to the throat Black Metal act. They do have a point when they state they are the “…ascending newcomers…”, for their sound is stone cold ripping Black Metal. It is Finnish, and you can almost feel it in your bones. The melodies merged with that Finnish violence – that is not violence, but a harsher approach – that we all love. Come on! It is hard not to enjoy what the Finns have been doing for decades, their mastered sound, their own vision of Black Metal… Kratti goes down that path, successfully, and oh man! I was never into complex music, maybe due to my Hardcore Punk background, so when a band goes straight to the point, I am in for the ride. To say that these lads are doing something tha...
