Terror – Pain Into Power – promo 2022 End Hits

Terror Pain into Power cover

I must say that I am not too much into hardcore anymore, but man whenever Terror is bringing something new you need to pay attention. I think this is the soundtrack for what happens now in the world. Terror after more than 20 years remains the same energic band, still underground and still with In Your Face attitude. If I have to make a top of my HC bands for sure they will be on the first place along with Madball, Agnostic Front and Sick Of It All. This album has 10 tracks and is their 8th studio album and will be out on End Hits. A first single is already out “Can’t Help But Hate” feat: Corpsegrinder. About the message Scott Vogel says that as a band they were always between positivity and negativity and even if there is a shitty situation we can found the way out thru music, but as well with all the positivity there are times when you collapse or you cannot take it, so this album has both parts in it. So all in all this album is a must for any hardcore fan and if you like Terror for sure this material won’t let you down.

Tracklist

01. Pain into Power
02. Unashamed
03. Boundless Contempt    
04. Outside the Lies
05. One Thousand Lies

A bit of Punk, Ska, Oi, HC In Guadalajara, Mexico

Oi you! I did write something about the punk scene in Romania, a small history and I did share some bands. In some of our old numbers we did received articles about punk, ska, oi, hc scene in Belarus, Paraguay, Brazil, Bulgary, Serbia, Italy. Now I want to write something about the punk, ska, oi, hc scene from Guadalajara, Mexico.

From the start I will have this disclaimer as I am not trying to write a history here, I am living in GDL for two years now and what I am gonna write are my personal words, I will share some bands that I saw them live, that I have the chance to talk a bit. I am asking people from GDL to put in the comments other bands from this area to get to know it better. As a first impression after moving from Constanta to GDL was like a Mecca for me, a lot of good bands and nice people I have meet, and must say the scene is going strong and let’s hope for the best, we will come back with more concerts. First band that maybe some of you will know is Acidez, they are a punk band like The Casualties, fast and angry that toured in Europe, US and you can check them on YouTube for more, I will not make a whole biography and reviews of the bands (you can do it yourself), like I said I am just gonna share the bands that I know personally, or I saw them live. To remain in the area of punk rock (in various forms from crust to punk rock) we have bands like: Disrejects, AltiBajos, Anti Tigger, Puerco, Suciedad de Sociedad, REO, Garigoles, Dias de Vicio.

I will move a bit to another cool band with various influences from punk to rocknroll: Hollywood Babilonia, also another great act of punk rock stoner is T-Wolf. If we are looking into punk rock with irish influences you can check Batallon De San Patricio. I will move to ska-punk and here are a lot of cool bands that I saw live and must say they are all awesome: La Mugrosa Ska, Artikulo 33, Minerva Ska Punk, Los Malavibra, No Tiene La Vaca, Oveja Negra, Los Gargas, The Orkesta Etilika with some ska punk and surf, and these are the ones that I saw, like I said there are more bands out there and the scene is growing. Another bands that I saw and they are really good are more into Oi with various influences : Himnos and 30-30 both of them working class, antifascist bands. If I move into hardcore, beatdown and all other influences are bands like: Thell Barrio , Ruinas, Beneath The Horror, Ace Kool, Omega, and if we are into the hardcore scene I must share Wasted Crew (a nice crew of cool people that are organizing hardcore shows among other cool stuff), also there are Disrejects with their Infeztado Studio and Records that are organizing punk, crust events with a lot of good bands. If we are talking about venues for sure there are more, but I have been only in 3 of them Foro Independencia (with their Anexo Independencia), C3 Stage, Harlem arte and musica and Palíndromo…so I really hope you guys learn a bit about the punk, ska, oi and hardcore scene in Guadalajara, as I said in the beginning this is not an article about the punk history in GDL and of course I did forgot many bands to mention, I just shared some info from my personal knowledge. Oh i just forgot to add about one of my favorites shops in GDL that is La Victory Store, if you want to check cd’s, vinyl, clothing and more in punk, ska, oi and hc.Cheers!

Svetlanas Disco Sucks cover

Svetlanas-Disco Sucks

After some line up changes the current one is: Olga, Diste, Steve and Nick. The band now is in Milan, Italy and this is their 5th material, out on Demons Run Amok, called DISCO SUCKS. The band sound is a mix of punk-rock and hardcore and this is valid as for the rest of albums, pure anger and packed with a lot of attitude. The album was produced and mixed by the band in their own SVETS Modular Collective also known as SVETS MC, their DIY studio inside Pinbowl Skatepark close to Milano, Italy. Check them out on their facebook HERE. Also check their video for their first single from the album Jump here:

Reality Slap interview

Mirceone (MPTYZINE) Hey guys this is Mirceone from mptyzine. How’s life?

Reality Slap:Hi Mirceone, what’s up? All good here man, life’s good!

 

Congrats first for the album. Tell us few things about it.

Thanks man, we’re really happy with it. We recorded it last year during summer, however it just took a while to arrange everything for the release, however the wait paid off really. We can’t wait

to put it our and just play all the songs live. I think I speak for everyone in the band when I say that this is the happiest we’ve been ever with any record.

For those who do not know you,please make a short bio

Well, if you don’t know us, then you’re clearly missing out ahahah. Not actually 😉

We’re Reality Slap a hardcore band from Lisbon, Portugal. We’ve been around since around 2009 although only last year we’ve started properly touring. We play a kinda old school style with a modern groove to it, fast and short songs in your face really. We’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with a lot of big bands that we love and so far so good.

How are things in War Records family?

War Records have been great to us. Andrew is an amazing and dedicated guy who believed in us since he first heard our songs. We’re still tight with our label in Portugal (Hellxis Records). We’re going to have it released in Portugal and the United States with a worldwide distribution, which is fucking sick for us.

What is the message of Reality Slap and name few bands that have inspired you.

We’ve always had a straight forward, direct message. We talk a lot about injustice, control, disconnection between people. We’re always had kind of a negative approach to these topics, however in this new record we decided to have a more positive say about it. It’s more spiritual in a way but always focussed on specific and important topics of society. I think it’s important to have a message, to have something to say and really feel what you’re singing about. I wouldn’t write songs just for the sake of it. That’s one critic I have to some bands who don’t really have nothing to say so they just speak about nothing. This new record has songs about freedom, soul search, positive change, and the potential within each one of us.

As for bands hat influenced us I can say that New York hardcore played a big part in it. Early Agnostic Front, Breakdown, Dmize, Cro-Mags. Also the Bad Brains.

Stadium gig or pub gig and why?:)

I rather have a packed small venue than a stadium, however I’ve never played on a full stadium, that would be sick as well ahah. I think Reality Slap is a band that really needs to be close to the crowd, I love stage diving and go crazy while performing we feed a lot out of that energy. A hardcore show needs that immersive experience.

What else do you do beside the band

I personally am a graphic designer, we have developers, photographers and website/magazine owners in the band. We kinda have flexible jobs that allow us to take time off and go on tour and sometimes even work while on tour.

Say in 3 words what hardcore means to you

Passion, Rebellion, Freedom.

Agnostic Front or Terror?:)

That’s a tricky question because both bands have been important to the scene in different time periods. I guess probably Terror wouldn’t exist without Agnostic Front, you know what I mean? So I’ll pick AF and also Reality Slap took so much from them. Victim in Pain is such a great record.

If you will build a football team with hardcore bands members,who those bands will be?

Ahah, that’s a funny question. I know that we would be in. We always travel with a football with us. I’ve played football with Madball before so I guess at least Mitts and Freddy would like to be in it as well, and you’d need JJ crop mags cause he is always in shape 😉 Plant based power.

What the future holds for Reality Slap

We have already started working on our next release even though “Limitless” is not out yet. I guess the plan is to do a few tours, play some festivals if possible next year and release something new soon.

Name 3 things that you will take with you on an island

I’d bring a Guitar, a Trampoline and Wilson.

Thank you so much for the time. Few words for our few readers

Thank you so much for getting in touch man, we really appreciate it. I hope we can go to Romania sometime in the future, I’ve never been there so it would be sick. Hopefully we could play a sweet show for those few readers ahah 😉

If you have anything else to add,please feel free to do so. Hc

Thank you once again, keep being active for you scene, Reality Slap Limitless 2016.

The interview will be available on our next number coming up soon.
