Complaint - Era of Decline

s/t - LP -


1356_complaint_era.jpgThe third album of this HC/Oi! from Holland is being released on their own LP (300 copies). In total, you will find 15 songs in English with a playing time of about 31 minutes. The band pours it into you from the first note and does not let you rest, which is fortunately OK considering the playing times of the individual songs (the shortest is 1:15 and the longest is 2:23). The overall sound of Complaint is really dirty, whether it is Randy's pumped up bass guitar or Patrik's singing. Right in the second song Lost or Insane you will hear a light guitar solo and the title track Era of Decline sounds like something from the old Exploited and it will make you rise your index finger under the stage. Another great thing is Still Standing, where the guitar is really rough and it is, by the way, the longest thing on the album. The first time I listened to the album, I quickly got carried away, but over time I got more and more into it and found out that it's not just another soulless flop, but that there are some great hits (like Loose Control or Get the Fuck Out). There are also a few classics with titles like Skinhead, Fight for your Life, Oi! Oi! Oi! or No One Likes Us. I don't have a physical copy yet, so I don't know about the booklet, but the cover is cartoonish and depicts a devastated street. I like it.

Ultima Thule - Frihet

Dim Records - LP -


1355_UT_Frihet.jpgNa 500 kouskách různobarevného vinylu naleznete další a tentokrát zbrusu nové album těhlech veteránů a zakladatelů žánru.On 500 pieces of multi-colored vinyl you will find another, and this time a brand new, album by these veterans and founders of the genre. There are ten songs in total, 9 of which are in Swedish (Ge Fan Aldrig Upp – Never Give Up, Sindre & Brokk, Frihet – Freedom, Blod Och Is – Blood and Ice, Nog är Nog – Enough is Enough, Moder Svea Och Folket – Mother Svea and the People, Parasiter – Parasites, Jorden Talar – The Land Speaks, Vid Nordens Hjärta – In the Heart of the North and the last one Roots of Steel which is in English. The album was traditionally released by Dim Records and surprisingly you will find a large paper with lyrics and a thank you note. People who like Ultima Thule will be excited from the first note of Ge fan aldrig upp, because it has everything you love about them – a melodic chorus and playful guitars. On the songs Sindre & Brokk and Moder Svea och Folket the band was helped by their colleagues from Mjölner and where you can hear, for example, harmonica and female vocals. In Parasiter the bassist from the metal band Crashdiet and the rock band Bedårande Barn Peter London helped. Frihet starts, for example, as semi-acoustic thing and after about a minute the other instruments join in. The songs tell, for example, about freedom that needs to be defended, about people from the north who live in difficult conditions, but their nature and nature drive them back, about how everyone should open their eyes and look the truth in the eyes and realize that their country is burning, Similar is the case with Moder Svea of Folket, where the text is a fictional dialogue between Mother Svea and her people who have turned away for days, Jorden talar is also a semi-acoustic thing about the natural cycle of life, when people are born and die, but their legacy lives on, whether in the blood of their children or in the landscape they inhabited. By the way, it is one of the best things on the album, along with the following Vid Nordens hjärta. Excellent thing!
