Evil Church: s/t
(2007 EDA Propaganda)

Awesome old school, "Anti-Clerical" hardcore hailing from Italy. Very addictive, a fast-paced arsenal with similar sounds to Hate for Breakfast & Blind Justice, typical of the Italian HC scene. The Slapshot and Madball covers, as well as most tracks, are sung in English; with only a few sung in Italian. Altogether it makes this CD highly enjoyable and one that holds it's replay value. ~Steve Skam
Tracklist:
01- War On Paedophile
02- Damned In Black
03- Who Are You?
04- Verona Resiste
05- Sotto Controllo
06- Vatican Business Club
07- Evil church
08- New York City (Madball cover)
09- War On Paedophile (LIVE)
10- No Friend Of Mine (Slapshot cover)(LIVE)
11- Vatican Business Club (LIVE)

Fresh from Columbia is female fronted outfit K.O. Patria. KOP features some tight rock songs and the female vocals are not overly whiny nor overly girlie. In fact the samples are quite impressive. Check the band out HERE.

Eugenik, Antisemitex / Selbstmord, Eingar

After 3 years since the release of "Tag des Raben," Eugenik has released their newest work "Schlactenhall" on LP. The LP features 6 new tracks and is available in blue vinyl and black. Hand numbered, limited posters are also included (number unknown). I look forward to the having the chance to check this release out, as their first release is a personal favorite of mine.

Eugenik's first CD "Tag des Raben" is an excellent album containing many classic black metal elements while also having that unique German RAC influenced black metal. The vocalist Asemit, also of black metal band Totenburg, does a great job of mixing the vocals, which range between two distinct different styles; black metal screaming and clean RAC style, the latter being the dominate. There is great energy and flowing transitions from song to song creating a very epic feel throughout the entire album. This is an obvious result of the tight performance of the musicians. "Tag des Raben" is available in two versions, one being a limited 999 digipak print.
