...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI.



..::OPIS::..

D.R.I. ma jedne z najgłupszych tekstów znanych człowiekowi, ale ja je uwielbiam!
Są tak głupie, że po prostu genialne!
A muzycznie? Cóż, kosmos to nie jest ale dla mnie to potężny i imponujący krążek!!!


While it may seem a contradiction, as the 1980s were winding down, the crossover contingent of the thrash metal scene were indulging in a more ambitious and arguably epic variant of their craft. Whether it was the exploits of California-based bad boys Suicidal Tendencies, or their New York rivals Cro-Mags at around the same time, the songs were getting longer, the riffs more complicated, and the hardcore roots of the style a tad more understated. This is the context that D.R.I.'s fourth LP Thrash Zone falls, at the tail end of what was arguably the decade of metal, and their sound was correspondingly at its most metallic. Relative to the two aforementioned bands that arguably were abandoning the punk sound incrementally, these Texas-turned California-based misfits played things a bit closer to their early 80s stylistic foundation of d-beats and keeping it short, but as was the case with their previous outing 4 Of A Kind, this album is comprised of a more ambitious brand of fence-straddling between the realms of punk and metal that is closer to the likes of Nuclear Assault and Anthrax than it is Discharge or Black Flag.

Though of a more ambitious character relative to the average S.O.D. experience, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles tend to keeps things loose and festive here, playing off more of a live concert vibe. Case and point the opener "Thrashard", which cruises through a series of fast-thrashing romps and slower breakdowns that's a bit more indicative of their earlier mid-80s sound despite being dressed up with some fancier guitar work and clocking in at almost 4 minutes, and to the sound of a recorded live audience no less. Similarly more hardcore-leaning offerings such as the quasi-bluesy ditty "You Say I'm Scum" and the bass-happy speeder "Standing In Line" have a bit more of a mundane, humorous, working-class quality that also leans a bit close to the 1985 incarnation than the later 80s one. Arguably the most dynamic contributor to this album's unique sound is John Menor's bass work, which is a fair bit interesting given this band going through rhythm sections like underwear, but the frequent bass breaks that filter in and out of several of these songs has a perfectly raunchy and precise character indicative of what Frank Bello took to Anthrax at around the same time.

All that being said, the album title Thrash Zone isn't just for show, as the majority of this opus' contents are of a solid metallic character with riffs aplenty. Despite being on the short and simplistic side, the crushing groove-turned blinding speed of "Enemy Within" and "Drown You Out" bring enough low-end punch to pass for Metallica. But generally it's the longer and more involved offerings like "Beneath The Wheel", "Strategy" and "The Trade" where this album really brings home the thrashing goodness, pounding out enough riffage to pass for some of the heavy-hitters on both sides of the Continental U.S., and also affording guitarist Spike Cassidy some isolated instances to showcase his chops as a lead player, which is about on par with what one might have expected out of Dave Spitz during the tail-end of the 1980s. Overall, the instrumental presentation on quite kinetic, as longtime drummer Felix Griffing (who would sadly exit the fold soon after this album was released) also makes an impressive ruckus and often breaks clear out of the typical punk drummer box. Despite being the central character in this play, vocalist Kurt Brecht is actually the most static element here, as his signature hardcore shout gets the job done, but comes off as one-dimension next to what is going on around it.

This may not be the absolute greatest album to ever come out of D.R.I.'s arsenal (that honor is rightly afforded to Crossover by the majority consensus of old school crossover fans), but it's an exemplary case of how the style can be expanded, varied and ultimately made more accessible to the broader thrash metal world. It doesn't really get the credit it deserves due to the band's more influential early offerings, and tends to be dismissed in a similar fashion to 1988's 4 Of A Kind as an attempt to jump onto the popular wave that Anthrax was riding at the time. To be fair, both said preceding album and this one managed to crack the Billboard Top 200, so it was a success on that front, and it definitely carries a heavy likeness to that more mainline thrash metal sound that had been popularized by several bands that were riding the media coattails of the Big 4. It's a great example of a thrash album that doesn't go too heavy on the technical wizardry, and is maybe a slight step below How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today in moving beyond the style's stripped down roots for more ambitious territory.

..::OPIS::..

Hades to pionierzy sceny Black Metalowej, również jako jedni z pierwszych zostali zaliczeni do jej elity. Debiutancki album "Again Shall Be" przyniósł im rozgłos i należytą sławę, uczynił z małej lokalnej kapelki band wielkiego formatu. Niestety nastały pewne problemy kadrowe, konkretniej: Jorn i Janto zostali skazani za udział w spaleniu kilku kosciolow.

Teraz Hades powraca po długiej (trzyletniej) przerwie, mając ekscesy za sobą. Czas ten nie został roztrwoniony, lecz w pełni wykorzystany na pracę nad nowym materiałem. Powracają z jeszcze cięższą, brutalniejszą, a zarazem skłanijącą do zadumy i wzbudzającą refleksje muzyką. Nie można jej obojętnie przesłuchać, jeżeli ktoś jest choć troszkę wrażliwy, odnajdzie w tym gąszczu dźwięków hałasu, prawdziwą sztukę. Mówię tu o tych, którzy choć trochę rozumieją metal, inni oczywiście nie mają czego szukać.

Jakość nagrania nie jest klarowna jak to w Black Metalu, ale pomimo tego, daje sie rozróżnić poszczególne instrumenty. Wszystko ze sobą współgra i nie ma aż tak ekstremalnego "efektu ściany dźwięku", w której nawet wokal tworzy tło. Ładnie budują klimat motywy grane czystym brzmieniem, później rozgrzmiewające z wścieklością szakala. Na uwagę zasługuje również przemyślana technika perskusisty z riffem gitarowym. Bębny fajnie podkreślają "skoczność" riffu, szczególnie dobrze to słychać w "Crusade of the Underworld Hordes". Gdybym chciał wskazać na najlepszą piosenkę to byłaby nią "Pagan Prayer", mistyczna opowieść o wędrówce i poszukiwaniu drogi. Chyba najbardziej tajemnicza legenda, opowiedziana czystym wokalem, niemalże operowym, połączonym z dzikimi wrzaskami.

Muszę przyznać, że cała koncepcja płyty jest dość dobrze przemyślana. Nie ma utworów niepasujących czy nudnych, wszystko jest ładnie poprzeplatane i połączone ze sobą. Choć pewne motywy folkowe podyktowane "kulturą wikingów" mogłyby być krótsze, ale jak wyżej nadmieniłem, giną w całości i w sumie w miarę dobrze się wkomponowywują.

Muzyka Hades wprowadza mnie w taki dziwny stan osłupienia, nie namawia do skakania i łażenia po ścianach, tylko do spokojnego siedzenia i słuchania, sluchania ... Przenosi w krainę lęku i niepokoju.

Ever wondered how Immortal covering Viking-era Bathory would sound? Well, Hades (yes, Hades, this album was released before that piss-poor "other" Hades decided to make a comeback) provides a fairly good answer with The Dawn Of The Dying Sun. This is quite simply one of the most epic, atmospheric, complete albums i've ever heard. The music rumbles along at a leisurely pace, never picking up above a majestic canter, but of course, these guys don't need speed to impress. Instead, they crush you with loping, striding folk-laden riffs, flawless bass playing that weaves in and out of the music, pounding drums and half-buried tormented vocal screams.

The opening title track is quite short, and acts more as an intro to the majestic "Awakening of Kings", which is something of a tour-de-force. The third track then introduces more of a measured, ambient feeling complete with eerie synth infusions, before the epic reworking of "Alone Walkyng" (originally the title track of the demo tape) crushes all in it's path. This 10:28 alone is worth the purchase price of the CD. The next few songs are more of the same - this isn't really an album where any particular songs stand out, it's more of a constant wave of atmospheric brillance. The sole letup is track 7, "The Red Sun Mocks My Sadness", which is a brief, melancholic flute instrumental, which provides a momentary passage of calm before the final onslaught of "Pagan Prayer" finishes the job of crushing the listener into rubble... the song just keeps getting heavier and heavier, seemingly threatening to crush your ribcage, before suddenly erupting into a flourish of fiddles and violins, which sear through a few bars before peaking and.... end.

Perfect album? I don't think there's any such thing, to be honest... but this is very, VERY close.

..::INFO::..

Yesterwynde to dziesiąty studyjny album fińskiej grupy muzycznej Nightwish, specjalizującej się w metalu symfonicznym. Płyta została wydana 20 września 2024 roku nakładem wytwórni muzycznej Nuclear Blast. To pierwszy album studyjny zespołu od czasu Wishmaster, na którym nie pojawił się Marko Hietala, który opuścił zespół w styczniu 2021 roku. Na tym albumie debiutuje natomiast nowy basista Jukka Koskinen. Tytuł albumu Yesterwynde został wymyślony przez członka zespołu Troya Donockleya. Holopainen opisuje go jako odczucie czasu, historii, pamięci i połączenia z przeszłymi pokoleniami. Mówi, że wszyscy żyli swoimi życiami, doświadczyli wzlotów i upadków, a teraz nie istnieją już w fizycznej formie, poza rozproszonymi po wszechświecie atomami. Wszyscy prędzej czy później znajdziemy się w takim samym stanie, więc warto nad tym się zastanowić. Holopainen określił tematy albumu jako humanizm, historię i inspirację, którą ona dostarcza. Ogólny pogląd na album jest pozytywny i optymistyczny. Wstawka zawiera wersję Deluxe albumu, na którym poza niżej wymienionymi utworami znajdują się jeszcze instrumentalne wersje tych utworów.

22 utwory czystego oldschool'owego grindcore'a z Hiszpanii.
Żadnych kompromisów!

Convulsions to jeden z najbardziej znanych antyfaszystowskich zespołów grindcore'owych ostatnich czasów!

Tekstowo 'Grindcore Not War' porusza interesujące tematy, takie jak problemy ze zdrowiem psychicznym, depresja, izolacja, nihilizm w obliczu pozornie nieśmiertelnego kapitalistycznego porządku neoliberalnego, mizantropia i inne introspektywne tematy, jednocześnie utrzymując ścisłe antyfaszystowskie, antykapitalistyczne, antyrasistowskie i antyreligijne przesłania, które są przekazywane całkiem bezpośrednio w typowym dla zespołu odważnym, uderzającym liryzmie.
Okładka przedstawia zdjęcie powieszenia Serbów w Trebinje w 1914 roku (początek I wojny światowej).

..::OPIS::..

Pierwsza duża płyta DRI z masą bonusów. Klasyk punk rocka, hardcore’a, a nawet metalu, pionierzy łączenia tych wszystkich stylów!



Ok, let me preface this by saying that this is not a metal album, at all. Sure, some of the riffs have some metal influence, but this is a pure hardcore punk album, and an early example of Thrashcore (which is just really fast hardcore punk, and a precursor to Powerviolence and Grindcore). So basically, if you don't like punk/hardcore, this is not the album for you, and even the more metal influenced releases from these guys may not work for you. However, since I am much more of a punk than a metalhead, this is perfect fro me, and I like it better than any of DRI's crossover thrash albums.

This album shows quite a bit of growth from their debut, even though it features reworked versions of many of the songs from the Dirty Rotten LP. This is more thought out, has a bit more variation in tempos while still remaining mostly in the "HOLY SHIT THAT'S FAST" area, plus this has production that is much clearer without sacrificing the raw, no bullshit sound of the band.

The album opens rather slowly, but the thrashing kicks in pretty soon, within the same, minute long song. Many of the songs feature radical tempo shifts like that, and seeing as how most songs are under 2 minutes (and only 2 are even over 3 minutes) they happen pretty fast.

Of course a few songs that do stretch the format a bit, as I mentioned before 2 of them even manage to surpass the 3 minute mark, which was a first for these boys at the time (hell, most of the songs on Dirty Rotten LP don't even reach 1 minute). On these 3+ minute "epics" (Nursing Home Blues, clocking in at almost 4 minutes, and Argument Then War, just under 3 and a half minutes), you can definitely hear some foreshadowing of what DRI would beocme on the next album, as they both feature a lot of the chugging riffs and have the long intros DRI would end up using so much.

So, in short, if you want a thrashing, ass-kicking hardcore punk album filled to the brim with blasting drums and lightning-speed-yet-catchy-as-fuck riffs, and for some reason don't have this yet, download and/or buy this as soon as possible, you won't regret it, just remember, this is NOT a metal album by any stretch of the imagination.

As for standout tracks, well, they're all excellent, though the best would be as follows; Snap, I'd RatherBe Sleeping, Yes Ma'am, Soup Kitchen, Couch Slouch, Karma, I Don't Need Society, The Explorer, and Argument Then War

EnemyOfTheSun420


In fact this album is not tight, nor was it entirely original anymore. When emotionlessly analysing releases such as these it could be considered pretty much a mess, but a better mess than the Dirty Rotten EP. But honestly, this music was supposed to be a mess. That was the whole point. A racket with either a message or plain complaining about ones personal life.

We have here 25 pissed off songs attacking the social and political environment of D.R.I.’s members and similar early eighties punkers on a micro- and marcosociological level. In other words, they’re pissed off at their parent, school, some babes and Ronald Reagan. Nothing new under the sun and de facto just as cliché as singing about vampires, mutilation or satan but of course enjoyable as ever.

The biggest difference with the earlier Dirty Rotten & Violent Pacification EP’s? simply a slightly tighter performance, a much clearer production and incidentally some palm muted metal influenced playing. No less than three songs from the Dirty Rotten EP were re-recorded on this album (“I Don't Need Society”, “Yes Ma'am” and “Reaganomics”) and because of the sound and performance they actually are better and more enjoyable than the originals.

The D.R.I. albums I like the least are the albums on which the band thought too much about it and material started to sound too contrived. Yet it is this album, an album which is all over the place and losing a grip on itself constantly, which really is what D.R.I. actually were all about. As if the album made itself before the band could consciously start to set out a path. Of course some songs here are better than others (For instance the powerful “Couch Slouch” vs the rather generic “Marriage”) but as a whole the album is one big coherent pile of sing-a-long tunes.

Like I said, the album has a certain “je ne sais quoi” brilliance. Everythings works out and nothing sounds contrived, overdone or out of place. In other words, this might as well be their most convincing (and certainly most energetic) album to date. 1985 was a good year for breakdown filled furious hardcore punk classics with irony and playfulness thrown in. Hell, that year The Stupids released “Peruvian Vacation” and let’s not forget the Mike Muir dominated “Welcome to Venice” compilation album.

In terms of importance the album just falls in between the “Dirty Rotten EP” and the all time classic ‘Crossover’ album. However when discussing excellence this album would be part of a holy D.R.I. trinity if there ever was one and I strongly advice anyone into crossover but still discovering D.R.I. to get this album as soon as possible! Ohw, and Mikey Offender (R.I.P.) played a few notes here as well. Yes Ma’am!

..::OPIS::..

PORONIEC to kolejny mocny gracz na polskiej scenie black metalowej. Coraz trudniej na niej znaleźć miejsce dla siebie, ilość zespołów jest przeogromna, a zwrócenie uwagi słuchaczy zaczyna być coraz większym problemem (chyba, że jest się ortodoksyjną kapelą, która gra wyłącznie dla siebie). Tym bardziej cieszą albumy pokroju „W Połogu”, bo oznacza to ni mniej ni więcej tyle, że zespół nagrał krążek, który wybija się (i to jak) na tle innych wydawnictw.

Słuchałem tej płyty już kilkanaście razy i podoba mi się jak ona się rozkręca. Z każdym kolejnym utworem jest lepsza i bardziej wciągająca z kulminacją w postaci długiego i niesamowitego „Wątpliwości”. Ten utwór jest najlepszym możliwym podsumowaniem krążka. Jest tajemniczy, jest w nim ciężar, są nieco odjechane fragmenty, jest odrobina słowiańskiego folku i… wywołujący ciarki kobiecy skrzek rodem z historii o wiedźmach. Ale tu każdy utwór ma w sobie to „coś” – czy to ciekawą zagrywkę gitarową, czy klimatyczne zwolnienie czy transową rytmikę. Dzieje się tu naprawdę sporo, fragmenty szybkie niczym huragan korespondują z ciężkimi rytmicznymi marszami. Podobnie w warstwie wokalnej, poza znakomitym mocnym growlem pojawiają się i czyste wokal, szepty, chóry czy wspomniany totalnie niesamowity kobiecy jadowity blackowy skrzek. Tu każdy element składowy odgrywa swoją istotną rolę i jest dobrze przemyślany.

Na koniec wspomnę, że znakomite wrażenie robi też produkcja. Płyta brzmi po prostu kapitalnie, potężnie i selektywnie – to żadne blackmetalowe lo-fi, PORONIEC postawili na mocna i klarowne brzmienie. Ten tytuł zapisuję na liście kandydatów do podsumowań roku 2024.

Zdobywszy całkiem sporą, undergroundową rozpoznawalność dwoma demkami, krakowski Poroniec postanowił w końcu zaprezentować swoje szkaradne oblicze szerszej publiczności. W marcu nakładem Putrid Cult ukazał się debiutancki album zespołu pt. W Połogu, na który – poza premierowymi kompozycjami – składają się też m.in. znane z wcześniejszych wydawnictw, doszlifowane i ponownie nagrane numery (mowa tu o Niedorzeczności i Przypadłości)*.

Niech nikogo nie zwiedzie odśpiewane z duchowym namaszczeniem, folk/paganowe Intro – podwaliną muzyki Porońca pozostaje rasowy black metal, zahaczający miejscami wyraźnie o blackened death metalowe patenty (skojarzenia z Behemoth czy Hate pojawiają się tu całkiem często, jednak w żadnym wypadku nie traktuję ich w kategorii mankamentu).

Poza kompozycyjną pomysłowością i wysokim poziomem aranżacyjnym imponuje mi na W Połogu intensywność muzyki i jej ładunek energetyczny. Pod tym kątem debiutancki album Porońca to dźwiękowa petarda, utrzymana w pozornych tylko ryzach, gotowa w każdej chwili eksplodować w niekontrolowany i niszczycielski sposób. Duża w tym zasługa doskonale komponujących się z agresywnymi i chłoszczącymi riffami wokali Wrzaskuna – wokalista Porońca odwalił na płycie kawał dobrej roboty (polskie teksty zawsze na plus!), dając się poznać jako świadomy, bardzo utalentowany i różnorodny wokalista.

Opisanej intensywności muzyki Porońca nie zmniejszają słyszane w kilku miejscach rytualne zaśpiewy Justyny Walczyk i Hekte Zaren (występującej już wcześniej w podobnej roli na płycie Głód Non Opus Dei), które stanowią na W Połogu ciekawą wartość dodaną. Na pochwałę zasługuje też nietypowa jak na ten gatunek muzyczny oprawa graficzna, która trafiła w sam środek mojego gustu. Komiksowy cover art, idący w kontrze do często sztampowej i przewidywalnej stylistyki bm, jest naprawdę znakomity.

Ustrzelił mnie W Połogu bardzo skutecznie. Myślę, że podobny poziom adrenaliny i przyspieszonego tętna w zeszłym roku zafundowały mi na polskim czarcim poletku Fiktionlust Totenmesse i Slaughter of Human Offerings in the New Age of Pan Dominance. A to już bardzo solidna rekomendacja.

Synu


Po dwóch bardzo dobrych demówkach nadeszła pora na pełnowymiarowy debiut krakowskiego zespołu Poroniec. Kręci się już chwilkę u mnie w odtwarzaczu, najwyższa więc pora powiedzieć Wam kilka słów o tej płycie.

„W połogu” to dość długi jak na mój gust album – pięćdziesiąt minut z okładem. Z drugiej strony znając twórczość Porońca i wiedząc, że jest ona dobra, podszedłem bez trwogi do tej płyty. I faktycznie, nie czujecie upływu czasu, po prostu dajecie się porwać black metalowej wizji Krakowian. Co mnie przede wszystkim zachwyca na tym albumie, to rozmach. I nie jest to absolutnie rozmach klamerkowego, krakoskiego black metalu. Poroniec już na drugiej demówce pokazał, że nie obca jest im wizja black metalu z bogactwem aranżacji i wizji. U jednych rozbija się to o muzyczną grafomanię i przerost formy nad treścią. Na „W połogu” nic takiego nie ma miejsca.

Rozmach przejawia się tu na kilku płaszczyznach. Te numery są doskonale zaaranżowane, elementy pasują do siebie jak ulał. Weźmy „Niedorzeczności” – mamy podniosły fragment z damskimi wokalami (czapki z głów przed Hekte Zaren, która udziela się w tym i kilku innych numerach), który momentalnie przechodzi w agresywny, zblastowany atak. Wyeliminowano też przerwy między utworami, cały krążek jawi się więc nam jako jedna długa kompozycja i trochę tak chyba jest – „W połogu” płynie swobodnie, trochę jak muzyczny strumień świadomości. Ten zabieg też spowodował, że „W połogu” bierze się w zasadzie na jeden raz, mimo nieco większego tracktime’u. A poza tym te kawałki są po prostu dobrze i ciekawie skomponowane. Frapują mnogością rozwiązań i pomysłów, które wszystkie i tak zamykają się w szufladzie z opisem „black metal”.

I tak po prawdzie to jedynie okładka jakoś mi tu nie pasuje. Jakoś do muzyki średnio mi to leży, zbyt komiksowo tym razem Kamudzie to wyszło i nie do końca referuje z muzyką – w mojej skromnej opinii.

Tak czy inaczej, Poroniec to wraz z Konigreichsal jeden z ciekawszych młodych (pod względem stażu na scenie) zespołów. „W połogu” to zdecydowanie jasny punkt w tegorocznym rozdaniu płytowym. Gratulacje dla zespołu.

..::OPIS::..

Dla mnie krążek GENIALNY! Oczywiście na swój sposób.
W momencie ukazania się rozpierdolił cały 'system' muzyki extremalnej!
Obcowanie z tą płytą jest niczym 'brodzenie' po uszy w gównie!

FA



Fudge Tunnel to zespół, o którym było głośno na początku lat 90-tych. Formacja połączyła hardcore i crossover czyniąc swoją muzykę prostą a zarazem trudną w odbiorze. "Hate Songs In E-Minor" jest debiutancką płytą formacji, która doskonale odzwierciedla to co napisałem we wstępnie. Mamy tu jedenaście kawałków okraszonych niesamowicie brudnym i przytłaczającym brzmieniem.
Muzycy postawili na surowość i ciężar, pozbawiając jednocześnie swoje utwory melodyjności. Mamy tu za to całą plejadę mięsistych, wgniatających w ziemię riffów. Od strony wokalnej mamy natomiast ukłon w stronę hardcore. Materiał jest dość jednorodny - dominują utwory w średnim tempie, oparte na podobnym schemacie, co dość szybko się nudzi.

Choć płyta jest raczej mało interesująca, to cenią ją za dwie rzeczy. Po pierwsze, w swoim czasie było to bardzo nowatorskie granie, które było dość przychylnie przyjęte przez krytykę. Po drugiej - debiut Fudge Tunel okazał się być podwaliną do twórczości zespołów z kręgu sludge metalu. „Hate Songs In E-Minor” można potraktować jako uproszczoną, bardzo ascetyczną wersję tego co grają obecnie Isis czy Neurosis. Z perspektywy czasu jednak płyta ta wydaje się być dość nieaktualna, o czym świadczy fakt, ze mało kto pamięta dziś o Fudge Tunnel.

..::OPIS::..

Nowy materiał North - zespołu istniejącego od 1992 roku i będącego, wspólnie z Behemoth, Graveland, Sacrilegium jednym z twórców polskiej fali Black Metalu poczatku lat 90-tych.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erZb00k-Dig



I have to say that this year 2024 has had it pretty big with all the oldschool bands returning, as well as new yet highly anticipated releases popping up out of nowhere like mushrooms. Case and point are the polish black/death metal band North, who have been pretty much silent during the last decade, until all of a sudden, they decided to return with a brand-new EP called We Are, We Remain…, with the release date of April 29th via Pagan Records.

Without remorse and without a word of warning, the first track “Czas By Powstali” strikes hard with pure misanthropy and aggression, like an avalanche coming down from the frozen mountain. Intense tremolo picking with occasional heavy chugging and slow mid-tempo riffs, solos, dive bombs and pinch harmonics, backed up with fast rhythmic drumming, harsh vocals with occasional growls, altogether create a monstrous storm with such decibels that would collapse the hilltop. The first couple of tracks truly show great potential, proving that this EP does indeed have a lot of standard yet interesting stuff to offer, ranging from various riff ideas to atmospheric moments, especially those that come to play on the third track “Horda Duchów”. The fourth track “Hymn to Winter” is somewhat of a standout on this EP for showcasing a more pagan black metal style approach with some frosty riffs and melodies, while still maintaining the musical template of the previous three songs. As a conclusion to this EP, they gave us a cover of Bathory’s “A Fine Day to Die”, which as I stated previously on my Blackbraid II review, it is a very overdone song since it was covered by so many bands before, including Emperor, and the overall decision of covering it practically became a running gag. However, considering that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Quorthon’s passing, as well as the 40th anniversary of Bathory’s debut album, I guess it’s not so bad after all since it can be easily excused as a nice opportunity to be used for both occasions. Ironically, the way how North covered the song is totally different from the original, by using a faster tempo with various rhythmic changes, while also going for a more “cold second wave black metal” approach as opposed to the “first wave black metal/proto viking black metal” style like Bathory’s original. The way how they performed the song in their own style managed to make it somewhat unique and more dynamic, but I personally wasn’t that impressed with the cover because it just didn’t flow with me that much, and even if it was any better, I would still stick to the original 1988 classic because its magic is simply unbeatable and cannot be outmatched by any.

North certainly went ahead of their way to use a lot of dynamic ideas in their songwriting, with a lot of tempo changes and fluent transitions, while still maintaining most of the traditional black metal elements in their music. The EP offers plenty of your classic black metal traits that were rightfully expressed throughout every song, with an established template that has a lot of stylistic consistency and continuity, and yet on top of that, it doesn’t fall victim to a linear/one-dimensional generic output. It definitely managed to flow with me all the way through, despite the unnecessary inclusion of the Bathory cover as the closing track. There is a lot of intensity in their riffing, as well as the band performance as a whole, which conveys a lot of extreme emotions as well as a cold atmosphere that goes along nicely. On the last note, the production of this EP is actually well-balanced by providing a modern sound with some rawness that manages to express the required black metal edge.

Overall, I’d say that We Are, We Remain… EP is definitely worth the while and it offers plenty of it to satisfy your needs. The final output proves that North was working hard with effort full of blood and sweat, that deeply expresses from the both of the heart that “they are, and they are here to remain”. It’s a fun release that you should definitely check out if you are into polish black metal.

..::OPIS::..

Brutal Truth został założony w Nowym Jorku w 1990 roku przez Danego Lilkera – byłego basistę takich zespołów jak Anthrax, Nuclear Assault i Stormtroopers Of Death. Ten zespół jednak miał być czymś znacznie bardziej ekstremalnym niż wyżej wymienione. I rzeczywiście taki był. Debiutancki album „Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses” wręcz zaszokował swoją siłą i kreatywnością. Jest jedną z najlepszych, jeżeli w ogóle nie najlepszą, płytą grindcoreową jaką znam.

Wydany w 1992 roku materiał jest zbiorem dotychczasowych dokonań zespołu, które były uwiecznione na różnych demówkach. Bardzo dobrze, że tak się stało, bo dopiero wydanie Earache Records mogło rozpowszechnić to szaleństwo na cały świat. To jest niesamowicie gniotąca muzyka, przytłaczająca swoim ciężarem. Dużo tu death metalu. Gitary są ciężkie, riffy często walcowate, ścierające na miazgę każdą napotkaną przeszkodę. Tak jest w tych wolniejszych utworach, lub ich fragmentach, jak w „Time” czy „Unjust Compromise”, ale ta produkcja słynie, przede wszystkim, z wściekle szybkich bombardowań. Ściany dźwięków, które się tu pojawiają są niesamowite. Są również solówki, choć te akurat nie stanowią o sile tego materiału. Do tego opętany wokal składający się z bardzo niskich growlingów i chorobliwych wrzasków rodem z Napalm Death. Dodatkowo, co bardzo lubię, są tu wplecione różne gadki, przesterowane głosy, jakieś deklamacje. Wszystko świetnie wkomponowane i dające dodatkowe atrakcje.

Oczywiście jest to pełna młócka, ale młócka z pomysłem i charakteryzująca się mistrzostwem kompozycyjnym. Wszystko układa się sekwencje tworzące fantastyczne kawałki. Ta płyta jest po prostu naszpikowana hiciorami. „Birth Of Ignorance”, Walking Corpse”, „Monetary Gain”, „H.O.P.E.” czy „Blockhead” to są perełki, pełne chwytliwych zagrywek i wpadających w ucho wokaliz. Człowiek nic nie rozumie z tych ryków, ale w głowie dokładnie pamięta w jaki sposób one się przewalają. To wręcz można sobie nucić.

„Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses” to dosadnie wykrzyczany sprzeciw wobec sił władających ludzkim życiem i umysłem. Sił związanych przede wszystkim z żądzą władzy i bogactwa, obłudną polityką i fałszywa religią. To także krytyka wojny, nietolerancji i destrukcyjnej dla środowiska naturalnego działalności człowieka.

Ewenementem jest tu numer „Collateral Damage”. Trwa zaledwie cztery sekundy, a został do niego zrobiony teledysk. Ileż tam się dzieje? Z pewnością jest to najbardziej intensywne video jakie w życiu widziałem. Jest również najkrótsze. Brutal Truth zostali wpisani do księgi rekordów Guinessa w kategorii najkrótszego muzycznego teledysku.

Na koniec, dla odmiany, jest ciągnący się ślamazarnie ponad dziesięciominutowy tasiemiec w postaci „Unjust Compromise”. Występują tu różne zgrzyty i inne odgłosy, nadające temu utworowi ambientowego charakteru. A zamyka się to wszystko z kolei króciutkim, wesołym akcentem.
Płyta wręcz legendarna, wciąż dostarczająca dużych emocji.

...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI.



..::OPIS::..

Debiutancki album pomorskiej grupy zawierający 11 ciosów old-schoolowego death metalu (44 minuty muzyki).
Materiał wydany w październiku 2023 roku po 15 latach od założenia i dwóch demach.
Polskie teksty, urozmaicone tempa, mroczna tematyka.

Deadspeak to otwarcie kopniakiem drzwi do nieznanego. Ostateczne rozliczenie się z tajemnicą ludzkiej egzystencji. To bezlitosna eksploracja tamtej strony przy użyciu skalpela, strzelby, pentagramu i mikroskopu. Zawierucha topornych riffów przemieszana z wrażliwością socjopaty...
