Unite Against Society are going to release their fourth album in DIY style on digital platforms but also on LP.

On Demons Run Amok will be out EP from Dutch band Bent out of Shape.

Split album of our Operace Artaban and Hombres de Barrio from Columbia was released in 2023 on CD and last year also on LP (125 black and 125 clear) through Polish label Olifant Records. Difference between these two version is that on LP each band has its own side but on CD the bands are switching after each song. Each band has there six songs in their native language except The Real Oi!. Operačka has there two covers - Zbrojovka Oléééé! (music from Romantikus Eröszaks with keyboards and according to the football topic it sounds similar to Vanilla Muffins) and Orlík (from Orlík:) which is put into light two tone version). To these covers are added their own songs like Už máme všechno (We Have Everything), Tvrdá hlava (Stubborn), half acoustic with personal lyrics Podruhé to zkusím (I´ll give a Second Try) and Blaničntí rytíři (Knights from Blaník). I really like Už máme všechno and Tvrdá hlava which has nice lyrics about the age which we are living nowadays. Udy is really working on his vocals and also his guitar is getting better and better. Hombres de Barrio are playing in five and it is really hard and heavy…just check first two songs Legion (Tributo a la Blanka) or Podre (Power) with perfect solo guitar. Their other songs are Dignos Y Arrogantes (Worthy and Arrogant), Realidades (Reality) which is really dark and gloomy piece (especially at the beginning) and it contains really fast parst with perfect bass, Sin Temor (Without Fear), with perfect start where guitar and bass players show their skills and the last one The Real Oi! The band now continues under the name Desterrados (which is the name of their first EP and it means something like Exiled). Booklet is really masterpiece because it is in the dimensions of LP cover and it contains many band photos, posters and English version of all lyrics. I am satisfied with both bands but I have to say that two guitars are always better.

After three years is out brand new album from LBTS called The Pagan Pantheon. There is change in drummer – in line up is now Frank, who is helping Wouter with Heathen Peace but you may know him from metal bands like God Detroned and The Monolith Deathcult. Album is out as CD (8 panel digipack) and LP (250 black and 250 frost packed in trifold sleeve). Together there are nine songs and you may know Warriors of our Time from 2023 demo EP and Invocation of Tyr + Wild Hunt are bot instrumental ones. There are also guests who are helping to vocalist Erick - Karl Willetts (Bolt Thrower, Memoriam) who add his voice into The Annihilators and Paul Jones (Enchantment, Crypt Feeder) who has spoken word in Dark Horizonts Set Ablaze, The Pagan Pantheon and in last one Ghost of War (where also Wouter sings). Compared to previous albums there are more acoustic stuff (beginning of intro Invocation of Tyr or Ghost of War which both went into classic sound and rhythm). Guitar solos are more into black (part of Dark Horizont set Ablaze, end of Bending Time Curves, with some strange effect or the title one The Pagan Pantheon). Most of all I like The Annihilators which is about riders of Apocalpyse and destroyers of the worlds and this motive put band on brand new t-shirt and in the middle of trifold cover. You can imagine the lyrics – old, really old times and ancient gods, courage and myths and legends, explosion/implosion of whole universe and worlds (Bending Time Curves) or the sensless, tragic and horrific wars where young people die and their souls are walking around like restless ghosts of war. There is also more personal or actual lyrics like Gaia which is about the wrath of Mother Earth. Song is slower and it is not so hard as the others. It has also perfect refrain and guitar solo. Cover is also absolutely perfect with all lyrics, band photos, tattoos from fans and band members, picture of wild hunt and apocalypse plus a few words (maybe thankslist, I don´t know because on promo version it is very small). This is absolute bomb which take the best from many genres and which make perfect high-voltage cocktail of madness which doesn´t have to taste to everyone but for me it is absolute delicacy.
