INFO
RORCAL offers a trip through differents atmospheres. Sometimes heavy, sometimes melancolic, the fogy worlds were the musicians flots are composed of as much deseperate cries than raging fury. Born by the gathering of 5 members of various bands from Geneva, Switzerland in 2006, the formation is highly active through their gigs and writtings. After a first EP "the way we are, the way we were, the way we will be..." written in 6 month, an audiovisual concept CD named "Monochrome", a split CD "ASCENSION" with KEHLVIN and many gigs in Switzerland and France, the band release their first full length CD. Through this concept album, the band propose to discover the tale of "MYRRA, MORDVYNN, MARAYAA". Somewhere between the skies and abysses, Rorcal offers a powerful and melodic music, like the migration of colossus through a frozen hell.

INFO
MIZTURA, bases it elegance on the combination of epic constructions dilated with skilful playing, a jazzy wind section and a voice that, when employed, flows parsimoniously among the rest of the instruments: guitar, bass, drums and trumpet. The electric crescendos and sharpened guitar riffs are two hints at the masterful universe of near-dark musicals that this young band inhabits.

INFO
Banyoles is a little town somewhere between Barcelona and France, known worldwide by its bucolic lake and that, in the last decades, has given locally renouned indie bands like Kitsch and Fang. But, for hardcore fans, Banyoles is the nest of one of the most interesting acts in the eighties and early nineties: HHH.
3 old friends, Alex, Marc and Koki decided one day to start up a music band. They wanted to emulate the bands that they had known through the little fanzine they owned. And they did it in the most naif and humble way that a band can start: with a drum kit made by oil cans and soap pots, without bass guitar and with only two strings in each of their two guitars, to make things easier... For many, the landmark of true punk-rock. Little by little they improved their equipment, and recorded a demotape called "Sin identidad!" in 1985, and a year later their first vinyl single called "Intelectual punks". A shame for their homeland, no spanish label wanted it to be released, so that was the little german label Dissonance who dared to to what nobody here did. A failed attempt to put out a whole LP, recorded but never released, probably pushed them into the need of fresh air. By the time, their scandinavian-hardcore influenced songs absorved the influence of thrash metal, and that forced them to create a new band, a new identity with exactly the same three members, called Overthhhrow, as they never wanted to mix styles that much in a single project. Overthhhrow occupied them for a time; same people, different style, not that close to old-school hardcore and much more closer to late eighties thrash-core, probably the first attempt to fill the gap between two worlds apart until then: hardcore and metal.
The experience with Overthhhrow made their homecoming to HHH in 1990 a much more serious musical approach, finding a hardcore musical scene much more mature and consolidated. In that moment they finally could record a whole LP, and there were labels which had rose during that period and which were into hardcore, like the guys at Potencial HC, who released "A por ellos", their masterpiece for many. It was quickly followed by a split EP with Vitu's Dance in 1991, but the rest of the story is quite short. They did their last gig in 1993 in Barcelona with 24 ideas, and split to dedicate their lives to other issues, like cooking, teaching... But even nowadays, 15 years after their dissolution, they still feel absolutely into hardcore ideals like before, so watch out...

Deadbird came into being in 2002 when Chuck Schaaf left Little Rock’s Rwake and moved to Fayetteville, forming Deadbird with his brother Phillip. Codebreaker picked up the first record in Europe, licensing all of their releases to Earache in the UK. A few tours followed. Alan left for his family. Jay joined and filled the gap. Two tours later, Todd left. Now Reid, from Rwake, has joined.

INFO
Paris, Texas is probably Wim Wenders' most well known, critically acclaimed, and successful movie, winning a number of international prizes including the Cannes Palme D'Or for Best Film in 1984.
This unusual road movie, with screenplay by acclaimed playwright Sam Shepard, tells the tale of Travis, a man lost in his own private hell. Presumed dead for four years, he reappears from the desert on the Mexico border, world-weary and an amnesiac.
He traces his brother Walt who is bringing up Hunter, his seven-year-old son, his ex-wife Jane having abandoned him at Walt's door several years before.
As virtual strangers, Hunter and Travis begin to build a wary friendship and conspire to find Jane and bring her back to be a real family.
With extraordinary performances from Harry Dean Stanton as Travis and Natassja Kinski as Jane, the film also boasts a soundtrack by Ry Cooder, ideally suited to the film's sun-bleached landscapes and melancholy undertones.

INFO
Not much time has elapsed since the dissolution of politico/jokester old-school act Slumlords following two albums, but guitarist Dom Romeo already formed a new band, Pulling Teeth, which effectively fuses both eras of hardcore that influenced the Ontario-born guitarist. Shedding the happy-drunk vibe of Slumlords while retaining their brusque songwriting approach (Vicious Skin whizzes through ten songs in just over fourteen minutes), Pulling Teeth share more in common with the guitarist's first band, nineties' hardcore relics Day of Mourning, as the apocalyptic Holy Terror vibe is dependably brought to life once again.
While there is decidedly less death metal riffing and no gutturals (Day of Mourning could easily lay claim to being originators of the "deathcore" label long before the style became a favorite objective of A&R reps), Romeo manages to work in eighties' thrash solos and harmony leads in assorted places throughout the intro-opener "Weeds" and "Never Wrong," "Vicious Skin," "The Kids Are Not Alright," and "Sand and Cells," in much the same vein as Integrity and Ringworm did on albums like Humanity is the Devil, Systems Overload, and Birth is Pain.
Integrity frontman Dwid lends his murderous yell to "Weeds," adding further weight to the relevance of Vicious Skin, but it's not the first time he was a guest on Romeo's work. Day of Mourning's final and finest body of work, the 1999 EP Your Future's End, featured Dwid's guest vocals as well as those of Ringworm's Human Furnace. Adding to the incestuous links among the aforementioned, Romeo was Ringworm's second live guitarist when Frank 3 Gun joined Terror a couple of years back. And more recently, Dwid performed a complete Integrity set in Baltimore with Pulling Teeth his backing band; it suffices to say these guys are truer Integrity fans than your average kid wearing one of their posthumous Deathwish-designed shirts.
With Slayer one of the main influences of the Holy Terror sound, it comes as no surprise that a riff from their long body of work materializes in the verse of "Prepare for the Worst," accompanied by the appropriate degree of optimism on gravel-throated vocalist Mike Riley's part: "It's my belief that these are the end of days, we've taken things too far. We ignored the warning signs." Another Slayer lick, this time their trademarked two-step, is employed as a tension builder prior to the breakdown in "Bleeding to Death." As metal as Pulling Teeth may be coming across, the songs are short, dirty, and punk enough to merit comparison to bands like The Swarm, Haymaker, and Left For Dead. The creation of Vicious Skin may have been assisted by the old-school revival sweeping the hardcore scene, but it has strong ties to the nineties sound, which should ensure it isn't forgotten by next week.
Bottom Line: While a new band to the hardcore scene, Pulling Teeth has some old blood in its ranks, giving Vicious Skin lyrics that often take vengeful neo-political and youth empowerment stances against society and the state of the world. Even with the basic punk beats and short song lengths, there are enough metal riffs and licks reminiscent of the Holy Terror sound to please the aging and bitter twenty-somethings. The album could have used more songs, but with this good an execution of a style long played-out, Vicious Skin carries some respectable weight.

Car vs. Driver began when I was 17 years old. By the time we played our final show, I was 19. This band was the music of my life during a period when people usually experience the greatest amount of freedom, which is what I think of whenever I listen to this music now. There were so many new experiences: living on our own, meeting new people, getting a new perspective on life. Our lifestyle in turn gave us a new perspective on expressing music, and we poured all of our energy and emotion into it. Music that now seems a world away music from a different life. Its hard to remember that everything about being in a band at that time was simply making a 7, buying the cheapest van you could find, and touring the country for the summer. There was no infrastructure to build your music around, which also removed its barriers. Instead of running our band like a corporation, we played peoples living rooms and basements, engaged in kickball tournaments, made record covers out of manila envelopes, slept on top of our van, cooked pasta, and played with some of the most amazing bands in the process. Bands that epitomized the time like Spirit Assembly, Policy of 3, Friction, Current, The Yah Mos, Assfactor 4, Frail, Hoover, Freemasonry, Scout, and Inkwell. The experience we had is something that could never be recreated, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been a part of that moment in time. Thank you Matt, Steve, and Jonathan for bringing this to me.

This is weird stuff. Lots of dissonance and chaotic chord progressions mixed with tremolo picking and stuttered rhythms, some great melodic runs, and a fairly technical approach (without getting too far out there). One minute it sounds like grinding chaotic metalcore, then it goes into some death metal riffing, a little melodic Swedish kick, brief hints at a little bit of sludge, and "Stratego" even has some clean guitars that almost have a flamenco sort of sound going on!? Plus the vocals range from high screams to straight shouting, some low growls, singing, etc. There's definitely a lot going on. I will say that I prefer more tangible tracks like "I Dare the Sky" that effectively mix all of their styles with smooth transitions to some of the more caustic and all over the place material, but it's still obvious that this band is onto something. Sadly the recording doesn't do them justice. It actually sounds pretty good, but it's way, way too thin. The guitars are somewhat abrasive, though still heavy, but as soon as the guitars and scathing vocals kick in full blast, the drums lose some of their density and the bass pretty much disappears. And that's a shame, because these cats have a lot going on rhythmically that not only needs to be heard, but it needs to be in place to hold down the backbone of most of these songs. About halfway through the record my ears complete adjusting to the tones, but they definitely need a more beneficial mix. Less treble on the guitars, more volume on the bass... that's a start. But it's clear, they are on the right track. The layout is pretty interesting. I like the fact that you can't gauge what the music sounds like at all by the way the packaging looks. There are some nice illustrations of bears (I guess), some of which have extended necks like giraffes, and the inside of the booklet is set up like a 10-day journal (complete with entries rather than the actual lyrics), using worn paper textures and a font that sort of looks like handwriting (using actual handwriting on worn paper would have been far cooler, but whatever). "Day 8: The woods came alive... all eyes and teeth. Most of my crew is dead. I am in a cave and I hope someone finds this someday. The stars that I used to count are now the millions of eyes that haunt my sleep and I am jealous of the dead men. I found enough timber to keep whatever it is at bay with fire." This is definitely a curious record. I'd like it better if the mix was kinder to the incredible rhythm section, but it's kind of hard on the ears right now, and the writing needs to be a bit more cohesive.

INFO
Dropping somewhere between Isis’s slow motion growl metal and shifting, jerky dynamics taken from a time when emo was actually post-hardcore instead of haircut pop for girls, Tang are at the top of French rock’s tree, if only by comparative default. Further clues come from the involvement of Cult Of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg, who mixed ‘Another Thousand Days…’, with a related moody-soundscapes-minus-pretension approach reflected in several lush lulls. It’s the noise of brave new worlds and an uncertain future given anenergetic kick of semi-righteous anger. And Tang undoubtedly deserve greater rewards than their dull moniker might suggest.
