Feet First - Heaven Home Hell

To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to their previous album but I remember it being heavy and harsh with pretty much straightforward approach. Now, three years later, we get ‘Heaven Home Hell’ and while it obviously follows the same script, you gotta give them a credit for working hard to make their music more dope and vibrant.
The tone of the album is intense and heavy hardcore, always from an attack position. Dual vocals work pretty well for them and backed by skilled musicianship, it makes this CD pretty enjoyable. Musically, it is well sequenced and while the music doesn’t necessarily switch too much, the emotions and dedication they put into these songs make it a good ride throughout. Feet First has managed to stay relevant by not chasing trends. Compared to their previous album, they didn't change the recipe that much: you can still expect tons of hardass beats good for kick-boxing. This is a type of band that can incorporate metal into their music and still manage to maintain a hardcore attitude. With songs like Your Churches Still Burning or Widerstand Feet First comes out swinging with powerful hooks and neck breaking mosh parts, but they also got a knack for more old school flavored songs like Beast From The East. Is Heaven Home Hell by any means a classic album? No, but it is dope and heavy and is going to be a good piece for your collection if you like when hardcore makes you wanna break your bench press record or just punch some Nazi in the eye. Approved!

Debut album by Stand United will hit the stores in September

Iowa’s Stand United are set to release their Eulogy Recordings debut “Adherence” on September 28th. The album was recorded at Audio Aggregate Studios (Des Moines, IA) with Dustin Miller. They just posted a new track “Adherence” on their Myspace page which was just redesigned.

Drummer Seth Gagle commented:
“This was our first full-length record so we really didn’t know what to prepare for coming into it, but we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The tracking was tedious but really helped us learn as musicians. It made us all look at ourselves under a microscope and showed us our strengths, and our weaknesses. The fact that this record will be coming out on Eulogy Recordings still hasn’t really sunk in… It’s pretty unbelievable to us that all of our hard work in the studio is going to be matched by the hard work of Eulogy promoting it. I couldn’t be prouder of how “Adherence” turned out and I can’t wait to get out there and tour non-stop supporting it!”

Steal Your Crown - For Real (feat. Booga)

Steal Your Crown from Portugal is pumping out some nice NYHC shit that is both catchy and aggressive. This song is very good and shows that the band definitely deserves more attention. If you're into Madball, you're in for a treat!
