The latest reviews:


Heathen Peace - Civilisation Ends Here...

Rebellion Records/Cosmic Key Creations - LP -


1326_heathen_peace.jpgDuring the preparing of new Live by the Sword album, which will be called The Pagan Pantheon, found Wouter (guitar and vocals) this project with people from LBTS (Freek on bass) and God Dethroned (Frank on drums) in line up. Who missed in LBTS songs Wouter´s brutal vocal and who is not satisfied with his “guest” vocals in Voyage to Constantinople from the last album this is directly for him. BUT. This is perfect combination of Razorblade hardness and black/death metal riffs. These riffs can be heard in songs like Allegiance, Throne of Betray (about self proclaimed king who is proud on stolen wealth and fake gold) or in Reborn in Power. Together you may check eight songs including instrumental intro called Preludium. Song Inevitable Fall is originally from Exploring Soldiers Rise album from LBTS but here it with different refrain and whole sound is filthy blackened. There is song called To Ride the Nightsky which is inspired by poem Wild Hunt from Johannes Carsten Hauch. Some songs are more into Razorblade style, just check the first one called Civilisation Ends Here...which is about Saxon resistance against Franks and Romans or To Ride the Nightsky. There is also slower piece – the last one called Saxon Wars with acoustic guitar at the beginning and end which is about united Saxon armies who are resurrected from rivers and forrest and who are going to fight crusaders with the gods of war on their side – for me the best piece from the LP. Album will be out as six panel digipack CD limited to 250 copies or LP on black vinyl with woven patch, also limited to 250 copies. These mixteures of metal and Oi!/streetpunku were there and you may know the bans like Cuero, Plakkaggio HC or Lion´s Pride and I know that this mixture is not everyone´s cup of tea. BUT this is perfect…brutal, straightforward, non-cliché and balls-tearing! Check some songs on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEnyKjCtVk7ZimiykUhAbzg.

Sabotage - Vedergällning - Sabotage 2014-2024

Nonkonform Media - CD -


1325_sabotage_compilation.jpgRetribution is the title of complete discography of Swedish band Sabotage which is mapping their career between the years 2014 – 2024 and which is out on Nonkonform Media. This is really good news for those who haven´t got record player because almost all of their previously released stuff (except Faderskap I Gråzonen) was just EP´s or LP´s. On CD´s are together 26 songs and 25 are in Swedish (only one English song is When Odin Calls which is English version of Blå Linjen Blues). There are also three covers and two of them are translated from English to Swedish - Kanske Ljuset from Templars and Skitgata from The Rogues. Third one is Stolt och Stark from Ultima Thule. On CD´s are all songs since the first EP Betraktelser Från Staketet to the last one Alla Uppgifter Om Att Motståndet Skall Upphöra Är Falska. The band has really consistent sound through the years and their mother tongue really fits them well. Middle rhythm, nice vocals where you can hear everything, guitars with light booster and solos and playful bass (just check it on Stolt och Stark for example) and last but not least the lyrics which are openly critisizng nowadays society and who are not afraid to call the things with right name (even the mainstream society will not like it)….big thumbs up. Booklet has sixteen pages with all lyrics, many band photos, information about the albums and band ex-members and cheers to all friends, bands and zines (thanks for personal and zine shout ou boys)! I will not rate it because it is just complete discography but it got stuck in my player for quite a few days.
