Ratout is new UK hardcore band spawned from the ashes of Rebel Troops. They've got a lot of good things going on with their music so give it a listen!

Throwback Wednesday: Madball - Down By Law



Dynamo Open Air '95

Oppugno - Oppugno

Being familiar with the band’s previous effort, I can’t say that this new album came as a surprise. Although, even with thefirst listening I could tell they made a progress when it comes both to song writing and musical skills. The meat of their music is still heavy, crunchy hardcore that falls somewhere between Hatebreed, Born From Pain and Merauder, but this time it all sounds more fresh and moving then before.

The fast parts got faster and in the result, breakdowns sound much more powerful. Daniel, the man on the mic here, is doing a great work here, his deliverance sounding aggressive and convincing. Overall, this time Oppugno managed to pour more emotions into their sound, and I’m talking the proper hardcore emotions like anger or hatred not some lousy ass whining about losing a girlfriend or shit like that. I can’t say much about the lyrics since they’re all sung in Spanish and there’s no English translation but there’s a deeper meaning to them since there’s a quote from Michael Bakunin, Francesc Ferrer or Yosana Akiko to all of them. This selection of names should give you a hint what Oppugno are all about.Overall, the album has a solid replay value and will keep you wanting more.

Barcadia will start recording their new album in March

Reno straight edge pride, Barcadia, are working on new album which will be called Abaddon. This one is also going to be released Seventh Dagger records. Here's what the band got to say about it:

"Recording begins March 27th for our second release via xSeventh Daggerx Records (whatever stigma surrounds the label does not and will not matter as our relationship with xSDx has always been good).
The new effort will be much darker, much heavier and full of unusual and horribly overcast sounds, static, notes and humming; a surreal and terrifying post-apocalypse spit directly in your disgusting face.
A portion of the proceeds from every cd sold will go to www.rainn.org to help them with their efforts. "
