Last Hope - Test Of Time

Last Hope - Test Of Time
Swell Creek/Superhero, 2008

If I had to choose my ten favorite European bands doing the NYHC thing, there’s a big chance it would have to include Last Hope on my list. I love the type of hardcore they play! It’s heavy but they never stray into metal territory. Instead, they keep it fast and aggressive all the time with nice grooves and good song writing.

When it comes to hardcore, for me it’s the feeling that counts. I don’t care if hardcore as a genre is less complex than death metal, jazz or whatever. I love this type of music and it gives me an adrenaline rush every time I hear it. And that’s the deal with Last Hope – they know how to handle their instruments, they know how to write good songs, the production is great, but the most important thing is that these songs really get me moving. I’ve heard about these guys before but not until seeing their video for Under The Flag had the chance to hear their music. Songs on Test Of Time are mainly fast paced, but they like to throw in some slower parts to keep things interesting. They definitely stick to the NYHC vibe in vein of bands like Breakdown or No Turning Back. I can see Test Of Time being a title perfect for everybody who likes it when hardcore bands get heavy but still stick to the rules of the genre. No clean vocals, no Swedish riffs, no death metal influences, just pure hardcore that will make you think of your favorite NYHC acts. I hope they will break through to the wider recognition!

Decades of Blood

Name/Country: We are Decades of Blood from Sweden.

Active since: We have been active since 2007. Due to the tragic death of the former guitarist robin so the band had a break for 6 months in 2007. We started playing again in January 2008!

Special Move: Uhm.. Dont really know. But we are a heavy band from sweden, and there are not many heavey band's from here so! And we put some metal things in our music!

Stuff recorded so far: We have 2 demos recorded. And we have some plans to record more in april/may. So keep your eyes open!

How did you get together?
After our ex-guitarist and best friend Robin died, me and the drummer Måns started to hang out. Then we talked about starting a new band, but it ended up playing with D.O.B again!

Why beatdown?
Cause' its so fucking awesome to play! You meet so much people at gigs, it is a really nice feeling to play! And beatdown is the only right thing! Haha!

The biggest bitches in hardcore are…
Hahaha! I must say our friends in Bitter Taste Of Life. They are a bunch of fuckin' bitches. You got too love those guys!

What part of Sweden you’re from? How is hardcore scene in that area?
We are from the south part of sweden, kristianstad! We dont have a scene here in our town. If you go further south to a town called Lund you'll find some old school shit. If you're going to a good hardcore show, you have to go to örebro, linköping, norrköping or jönköping!

Heaviest band ever?
Hmmm... There are alot of heavy band. But Circle of Death are a really heacy band from germany!

Doug Weber left Terror

Terror officially parted ways with their long time guitarist, Doug Weber. Position has been already filled with Jordan Posner, formerly of No Warning. In Scott Vogel's words:

"[Doug] pretty much said he was sick of living in a van 90% of each year and that he wanted to live a more normal life. We can't really blame him for that decision as there are times when I hate this shit too. It's a real wake up call for anyone that thinks touring is ALL fun or that Terror as a band has it easy in any way. I honestly thought that Doug leaving may have been the end for us. Doug had been in the band for a very long time and I was starting to feel that all the line-up changes might start to make us look like a joke, but Nick and Martin sternly told me that this is NOT the end and that we have a lot more to accomplish. So, we pushed on as always. The only person we had even really talked about or spoke to about stepping up to fill the Big Man's shoes was our friend Jordan from the now defunct Toronto HC band No Warning. For anyone that knows me or has read interviews with me you'll know that I love No Warning and really all of Terror does. Jordan has proved to be an amazing song writer and dude so we are excited about this change. We're going to do some touring with him to make sure he can handle our insanity and he'll be the new guitarist if all fits how we think it will."
