Witch Cult - Witch Cult

Burnt Flags by Witch Cult

Witch Cult (facebook) is a Powerviolence band, leaning more toward metallic Grind and Hardcore Metal. Which apparent influences are heard in both extremes of the tempos that they play, meaning both when the pace gets extremely slow, is when they pull the sludgy Hardcore card, as well as when it’s extremely fast, by way of almost classic Grindcore. This self titled release would be a welcome addition to a collection of modern Grind, as well as to the modern Entombed or Holy Terror style Hardcore bands.

Hexis - XI



Procella by Hexis

Post-Hardcore with even vague Black Metal influences hardly goes down this smooth. Hexis (facebook) is a metallic Hardcore band that takes an approach to their Metal influences not unlike both Celeste and The Secret did before them, layered in feedback, sometimes dissonant sometimes melodic tremollo picking and a compromise between epic and complex structures. When looking at the continuity in quality of their songs, it’s obvious this band is tapping from a wide array of influences, mixing them to a cocktail that could very well deliver (at least equally) amazing songs for a looong time to come.

I Am A Curse - Prequel for an Unforgiving Wreckage : Barren Lands


The Wreck by I Am A Curse


epic hardcore band I Am A Curse (website) needs only 5 songs to make a release that comes across as perfectly fulfilling. Nearly continuously playing their style of of heartfelt yet dissonant down-tempo punk rock music, the band builds momentum to the point of near oversaturation, only to break it down again. Dark and eerie music of exponentially epic proportions, reminding of Down Tempo Post-Hardcore bands from their respective country of origin. As well as hints of dark Hardcore Punk (not unlike Birds In Row, unless that’s a biased assumption).

out Of The Box On Sunday XXXIII

Two Years by Tancred

Tancred (blog) is Now Now's Jess' solo music. This project sounds as sweet and precious as her band's music, only the minimalism of little more than her voice and an acoustic guitar creates an amazing cozy atmosphere. As always, the voice sounds angelic and moving, hovering over not too fancy-recorded acoustic guitars, to give it a hint of a lo-fi kind of sound.
