Rick's Pick: Thrima

This week's pick is for the Thrima CD "Sterbende Welt." Thrima play a great melodic RAC with clean vocals that borders on hardcore. When the hardcore influence comes in musically that the vocals switch to a heavier hardcore sound. A great CD that also features guest vocals from the singer of Eternal Bleeding on some songs

Eternal Bleeding, Agharta, Projekt Vril,

Popular German hardcore band Eternal Bleeding is currently working on new material for an upcoming release. The new release will feature a previously unreleased demo track for fans of the band.

IN REVIEW: Blind Justice, Blood Red Eagle, Eternal Bleeding

Blind Justice: That's Not For You

(2009 EDA Propaganda)

Once again Italy has proven themselves as leaders in the hardcore scene with this fast and furious release. Staying true to the oldschool early 80's hardcore style, Blind Justic blends Italian and English lyrics with light-speed guitars and heartpounding drums to create a one of a kind materpiece. DEFINITLY a worthy addition to any album collection. ~Steve Skam

Blood Red Eagle: Divine Providence

(2008 Heathen Noise Productions)

Every now and then there comes a release from a band that really seperates itself from the rest of their previous material. Well, this is that release for BRE. From the sociopolitical observations with an Odinist point of view, to the musical craftsmanship, I really think the band came into their own on this one. With songs such as "Blow By Blow", "A Love For My Nation", & "White Guilt" it almost comes off as a rally cry for awareness without being overbearing. Highly recommended for all inteligent nationalist & Odinists out there. ~Steve Skam

Tracklist:

01- Intro

02- Seas Of Blood

03- Blow By Blow

04- Pride Of Portland

05- The Ends Justify The Means

06- 3rd Coming Of Odin

07- I Feel Nothing

08- Loosing Blood

09- A Love For My Nation

10- Watch It Burn

11- White Guilt

12- Jarl's Kin

Eternal Bleeding: Dead Eyes Kissed The Light

(2007 Gjallarhorn Klangschmiede)

This album is easily one of my favorite hardcore releases in the past few years. Using melodic hardcore/ metal/ and a subtle hint of emo, the guys of EB have came up with a winning formula in their first full length that not too many bands today can match. Superior is one word that sums it up nicely. 10/10 ~Steve Skam

Tracklist:

01- Intro

02- Dead Eyes Kissed The Light

03- Between Hell

04- My Vision

05- Scars 'n' Strife

06- Right Doors Have Only One Entry

07- Bleed To Forget

08- Until The World Is Burning

09- Good Old Dreams Rising Tomorrow Again

10- Don't Switch On Me

11- Antisocial Conditions

12- Only A Nightmare Remain

13- I'd Never Seen

14- Running Through The Fire

IN REVIEW: Hardcore Until the End, Bad Fate

V/A: Hardcore Until The End
(2008 Until The End Records)

This compilation album is a MUST HAVE for any die-hard hardcore fanatic, out of the 22 explosive tracks, there isn't any "filler," and all the songs deliver a serious knockout blow. Just glancing at the tracklist should say enough. It is practically the whos who of the scene. Best tracks in my opinion are Eternal Bleeding's "Your Promise, My Heartbreak", Fear Rains Down's "Angels of the Apocalypse", and both Band Of Brothers tracks. Satisfaction guarenteed. ~Steve Skam

Bad Fate: Bite Back

(2007 EDA Propaganda)

Bad Fate knows the score. With a perfectly meshed combo of thrash and oldschool hardcore, in conjunction with angry vocals and right wing lyrics, this Italian band manages to capture a uniquely 1984-esque sound. Worth it's weight in gold, the album is sure to please all. ~Steve Skam

Tracklist:

01. Grido Vendetta

03. Assassin
