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.

Thirteen Turn is a new English/Dutch band (they have been playing since 2023) and this is their debut album, whose name means something like “Goat Rider”, which are witches from Dutch legends. They also caused a few witch hunts in the 18th century. The band is a five-piece, with Dutch singer Jilles on vocals and second guitar played by Rat, who you know from Close Shave, Wasted Life, Section 5 or The Rough Cuts. The album contains a total of 12 songs in English and the playing time is about 38 minutes. Musically it's faster and more aggressive, the vocals are more screamed and two guitars can be heard right from the first song Not Enough Punches, which is about how humanity is infested with envy and generally bad qualities and wants to slap everything in a heap, especially the internet pest, to the last song Ungodly Oath (which is a kind of outro with recitative). The band is not afraid of singalongs (for example Close the Door, Speed ​​with an absolutely great guitar at the beginning of the song or The Streets Where I Belong). There are also touches of HC (for example Feed Me, where the band simultaneously roars wonderfully in the chorus, but also complements it or Last Rights). Otherwise, the band has great merch and T-shirts with three different motifs are available. The LP will be accompanied by a paper with lyrics and a large photo of the band on the other side + a thank you note. The album will be physically released on November 28, but you can pre-order it now. You can listen to the teaser single Wasn´t Born to Lose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKyQiEe2Uw4), which will give you an idea of ​​what the band sounds like. For me, it's great, harder stuff, but not afraid of catchy melodies.

Here is a band from Magdeburg whose members hang around Anti-Clockwise. They have one album, a split EP with Anti-Clockwise and this brand new EP, which contains 4 songs in German (which were recorded in 2023). The record with a large hole is limited to 300 pieces on black vinyl and the songs are called Holodomor, Dawei, Dawei, Tach Angst (Hello Fear) and Das War's. To the record was added a 78 (!!!!) page fanzine, which contains several short stories from different times and places of the 20th century and a whole series of photos that thematically correspond to the songs (for which you can find the lyrics) and which have a common denominator, which is communism, socialism and their whole fucking paradise on the Earth, where everything is for everyone and which everyone in Eastern Europe has experienced firsthand. The story is then illustrated with historical facts. The first song starts off really chilling and it is chilling musically and lyrically too, because it deals with Stalin's targeted famine in Ukraine, it has an excellent chorus that says that we are "in a time when the party book is more than your mother". The second song Dawei, dawei (or also Einen Augenblick frei - Free For a Moment) tells about the revolts against those bastards that took place in 1952 in East Germany, in 1956 in Budapest and in 1968 in Prague. Tach Angst and Das War's (the songs seamlessly transition into each other) are then about the everyday fear that anyone can report you for the slightest little thing and about the secret police that follows you at every step. Musically it's mid-tempo, with plenty of guitar solos and the whole thing sounds absolutely great, although it's not exactly easy to listen to and it's not music you'd take a break from, but I think that's exactly what the band wanted to achieve - to make you start THINK, so all you fucking communists and especially you who support them, join hands and finally get the hell out of here! On the other side of the cover you'll find photos of the members and a short thank you note to the friends. Excellent stuff from a modest band that has something to say. Perfect!
