OXX – The Primordial Blues

Ok, maybe this is not my 100% style, but i must say that OXX surprised my in a nice way. They formed in 2012 in Aarhus, Denmark and since then they have released 3 studio albums and one EP and 5 music videos. The band was born into the Danish punk/metal scene but they are more than metal…this is something else, out of this world. I do not have a lot of knowledge when it comes to metal, but to be honest this is was full of force and crazy riffs. The Primordial Blues was released in August 2023 by Nefarious Industries and it is a mix of jazz, metal, sludge and chaotic hardcore and crust elements. Something to listen to your gym sessions.

Abanglupa – Of Rats and Swine promo

Hey guys, I have a nice promo for this week. I want to talk about Abanglupa, a hardcore/punk band from Pateros, Philippines. I discover the band thanks to Nal and I did listen to their Bandcamp and I got surprised. I have many friends from the Philippines (back when I was working on ships), but never heard any hardcore or punk band from there….so yes the guys sounds really pissed of, their name you can translate as: Oppressed Land ( well as I learn from my friends in Philippines the country had a really interesting history, being dominated between US and Spanish Empire…but that’s anther story). Their debut album is called Of Rats And Swine and has 10 tracks, really fast and full of anger, I think the longest track has 1:33 and the rest more or less 1 minute…so yes speed, anger and mosh…ingredients for a hardcore/punk band. The band self produced this material and it has an amazing artwork as well. The message of the band is a protest against the government of Rodrigo Duterte and the lyrics are in English with the exception of: Lansagin and the last song Abanglupa. I just included them as a hardcore/punk but they have different influences from crust, metal up to grind. This material goes nice as a soundtrack for all the war, rage and tensions that are all over the world. Also you can find the album on the labels below: 

Lower Class Kids Records (Weimar, Germany)

Ugly and Proud Records (Sofia, Bulgaria)

Nuclear Family Records (South Wales, UK)

promo band: Anticops (hardcore-Germany)

Anticops successfully complete the hardcore bands gallery from Germany. Formed somewhere in 1998 in Berlin and very soon they became wellknown in the german underground and beyond. After several line-ups changes they became stable and for 2011 launch a new material: Out In The Streets. A back to hardcore roots album with sing alongs chorus and mosh parts mixed with some metal elements with lyrics about social problems full of attitude and friendship. Also this material has a lot of guests from Kid D (Rykers), Settle The Score, Walls of Jericho, Payback, Troopers, Final Prayer and Death Before Dishonor. A plus for Anticops and a must for all the hardcore kids!

Mediatrocity-Your Destruction Will Not Be Televised

I already told you about these guys  in one of my previous numbers.Now they are back with their first album: Your Destruction Will Not Be Televised.The album has 10 songs and 2 demo versions in addition. 13 songs that makes you jump and raise your fist in the air, and makes you wanna destroy everything…
Punk combined with pleasant ska elements and metal made in UK make this album be one with a strong socio-political message.
The band  pulls an alarm signal about the harmful effect that the media has on society.A message against the ones that control the information and show  what they want us to believe.
The guys started a series of covers after Ramones by the nickname of Rock’Em To Russia,and after some shows they began to write their own songs,somewhere in early 2009 in Norwich ( UK).
If Leftover Crack, Anti Flag, Bad Religion tell you something,then Mediatrocity will leave you with a good impression.A debut album that deserves all your attention. And remember…TURN OFF YOUR TV AND GO TO A PUNK ROCK SHOW!
You call them heroes??? think again!

more about on new number-out soon!

MPTY ZINE: Salut. Cum in orice trupa exista o poveste, spune-mi cum ati inceput sa cantati

Salut.Eu personal am inceput sa cant in trupa Speardrop,o trupa hardcore punk rock.Am inceput ca bassist acolo si vocal.Apoi m-au chemat in formatia R.I.O.T fiindca bassistul a plecat de la ei.Trupa sa format in 2008 martie.Amuzant este ca au inceput sa cante gen metal iar cand am intervenit eu si solista trupei sa schimbat putin stilul.
