Loose Screws is new song from Burdened taken off of their new 7 song EP called "Tasteless". Being so lucky to be able to hear the full material already, I can honestly say that it is going to be massive! Fast and angry hardcore the way I like it!

Rick Ta Life testing vocals for new Comin' Correct album
It seems like Rick Ta Life is working on a new Commin' Correct album that is slated for 2010 release. At least there's a youtube video with Rick testing vocals for some new track. Last 25 Ta Life album was pretty cool and this new stuff sounds good as well so hopefully this upcoming album won't dissapoint.

Vow Of Hatred - Vow Of Hatred
Here’s a self titled album from Pittsburgh based hardcore band practicing the heavier side of the genre. Starting things off with a slow and heavy intro, the band sets the tone for the rest of the material. Vow Of Hatred falls into beatdown category and they’re pretty good at what they do.
I mean, with so many beatdown bands around nowadays, it’s really hard to come up with some style of your own. These cats are not yet there, but still, this shit lives up to the standards of the genre. The quality of the recordings is decent, the musicianship is not that bad and the vocals are strong and hateful. My only gripe is that the band is bringing nothing new to the game. With every song here I’ve got a feeling I’ve heard it before. Maybe I got too picky when it comes to beatdown, but breakdowns and double bass doesn’t make up for lack of good ideas. On the brighter side, there are couple moments here that really do it for me. Let’s just mention ‘We’re Glad You’re Dead’ with its vicious mid paced groove, nice built up and a powerful fast part made for some serious ass kicking in the pit. This is a type of stuff I want to hear more from them!Review by Dloogi

Bloodstained - Saligia
One of the most promising Polish hardcore bands comes back with and they’re breakneck sound is heavier than ever. This time Bloodstained dishes out a collection of sick tunes that melt some beatdown influences with Kickback-like depravity.
This album holds nine tracks (including intro and outro) of furious, metallic hardcore with monster breakdowns, sick riffs and drums that hit like thunder. Avoiding any clichés, complex, yet brutal. Compared with their previous effort, by which I mean 3-way split with Crawling Ground and Envy, the overall tone of their music got darker while the lyrics are soaked with sickness and all the nasty stuff humanity is capable of. You know, those little filthy thoughts you try to hide in the darkest corners of your mind but you know they creep waiting for the moment to explode. The only difference is that these guys got the guts to scream it all aloud. The cold aggression and rawness of these songs set them apart from much of the competition in their weight division. I also gotta give them props for using Soul Contre Tous movie samples as there is a strong connection between the music and how Philippe Nahon’s character went insane in the movie. Highly recommended!Review by Dloogi
