ASSASSINATORS/D.S.B. split 7” Alerta Antifascista/Halo of Flies Records At first look this might seem as an odd pairing of bands, and I agree. I still think it’s somewhat strange, but that doesn’t stop it from being two good bands for the price of one so it’s really a good deal. Danish Assassinators continue to deliver the melodic punk they’ve proven to be very good at in the past. The two tracks on here are perhaps more comparable to their earlier releases than the LP, but as with all the Assassinators records it’s great, intense, emotional… and they still produce riffs that gives me goose bumps. The first track, “Skeletter i stiletter” definitely reach the same quality I demand from the band, but it’s the second one, “Mit mareridt”, that’s the highlight here and an instant hit. About the same as this split was released the news reached us that D.S.B. are calling it quits after twenty years as a band. I don’t know if this is their swansong or if there are other tracks recorded that will see the light of day later on, but if this in fact is their final offering it’s a good way to end things. An excellent display of Japanese hardcore, forging infectious melodies with rumbling intensity and the raw punk with the rock’n’roll. Radical punx never die!

ADRENICIDE Kill CD Endless Brutality of Men Records A site for self development for the post modern hippie discusses the concept of when “enough is enough”: “Enough can describe quantity or quality, depending on the subject or object”. Adrenicide released “Kill” last year as their fourth album in three years, and to top it off, the released yet another full length last year. To put it bluntly, on this release they clearly excel in quantity, and fail miserably in terms of quality. Kårén - April 30, 2010 |

TERRORSTAT/TWISTED SYSTEM split CD Endless Brutality of Men Eighteen tracks in thirty-six minutes and a Swedish - American crustcore team-up with two bands that I think would have benefited from doing separate releases. When a bands’ style is described as raw, rampant crustcore with a couple of heavy mid-tempo breakdowns it could just as well be a way of tip-toeing around the fact that they don’t have so much to offer as it could mean...
