Picture Credit: SNIDE SNIDE - Punk-Sutawny Release Date: March 01, 2021 Label: Dammit Records Format: CD / Digital Length: 46:47 Genre: Punk Rock Origin: Maidstone , England The album on hand is more of a compilation that an actual album. "Punk-Sutawny" is a collection of 16 songs which were written by Kentish Punk Rock band SNIDE between 2007 and 2019. All songs have been remastered and are now available on CD and for streaming via Dammit Records . So le's dive into the history of SNIDE. PUNK-SUTAWNY by Snide SNIDE play energetic late-70s and 80s Punk Rock. Dynamic songs in two-four- and four-four-time, powerful lyrics, melodic backing chants, minimalist structure and riffs, and a sheer load of power. With catchy choruses and full-throttle verses, SNIDE do not need a whole lot of variety to enchant and move their audience. Their recipe with three riffs and maybe two variations maximum per song totally works out. "Punk-Sutawny" is highly entertaining and absolut...

Compilation Review: 2 Years of Dependency (2014)

Image
Moscow-based [addicted label] / No Name Recordz celebrated their second anniversairy back in 2014 by releasing a 26-track compilation containing songs by 21 of their artists. For lovers of Psychedelic , Experimental and Avant-Garde music, this compilation is a great chance to look East. Photo Credit: [addicted label] / No Name Recordz 01 The Grand Astoria - Welcome to the Club / Then You Win (06:47): The opener is a double track by The Grand Astoria from Saint Petersburg. 'Welcome to the Club' is a jolly Country song, perfect for commencing such a huge compilation. After a break 'Then You Win' kicks in. A Heavy Metal intro leads into fuzzy Indie Rock and Alternative that roll towards the eardrums. 02 Matushka - Location (14:20): Matushka commence their longtrack 'Location' by an intense Acid introduction. Their psychedelic jam moves through misty fields and wide spaces of mysterious tunes. Half way through the song the intensity is increasin...

Compilation Review: Dugu - Nausea Skeleton Abyss (2019)

Image
It's time for another compilation and for another premiere on MangoWave. Dugu (or Dugu666) are the first band from the Peoples Republic of China ever on my blog. The quintet has dedicated themselves to ultrafast Death and Thrash Metal . The music scene in China is a sphere I hardly have any knowledge of. That might be due to the reason that the social media I mostly use is not that easy to attain in China. Also, I hardly use Chinese social media. I think, I once had an account on Weibo, but that's it. Anyways, after Oi ! Band MiSanDao and Sludge / Doom Band Never Before here's another band from China I am getting to know: Dugu! Photo Credit: Black-Roos Entertainment EPK The compilation "Nausea Skeleton Abyss" is a 75-minute powerload of highspeed Thrash Metal with plenty of Death Metal influence. It contains all three cassettes the band has released before and is available via Awakening Records since November 2019. Recordings and production are rath...

Compilation Review: Metralion - Quo Vadis / A Mosh in Brazil (2019)

Image
I was born in 1987. In the same year J.P. , Roberto , Alexandre  and Rica  founded the band Metralion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil . All four of them were into Thrash Metal and that's exactly what you're hearing when you listen to their songs. Within the following two years, two albums were released: "Quo Vadis" (1988) and "A Mosh in Brazil" (1989). And then there was silence. Silence kept on for over thirty years. My Brazilian and other South American readers are invited to tell me whether Metralion are really sort of a legend for Thrash Metal or if they just disappeared silently. Photo Credit: Black-Roos Entertainment EPK Last November the two albums by Metralion were re-released as a compilation via Awakening Records . Thus, now we can listen to the full opus of Rio de Janeiros Thrash Metal band. That means more than one hour of fullspeed Old School Thrash Metal and nostalgia are available on CD now. My first impression is that the two albums wer...
