Dead Channels – Soul PollutionPosted on 31.07.11 by PimIt's always great when a band that you never heard of grabs you by the throat and Dead Channels did just that. Thanks. Doesn't happen that often.

After The Fall – EradicationPosted on 30.07.11 by xroldxTo my surprise this release has been fairly unnoticed. While some records actually deserve not to be heard, 'Eradication' is quite a different case.

Brat Pack – Stupidity ReturnsPosted on 29.07.11 by xroldxThey might sound young, loud and snotty, but there's a lot more to Brat Pack and they finally show it on 'Stupidity Returns'.

All On Black – WeightlessPosted on 27.07.11 by PimAll On A Black features (ex) members of Razor Crusade and Omission. Both bands are a lot heavier than what All On Black is doing though.

Lasting Traces – Old Hearts Break In IsolationPosted on 26.07.11 by xroldxA good, not so original record, which will appeal to everyone who's into the newer generation of melodic hardcore bands.

Foundation – When The Smoke ClearsPosted on 17.07.11 by xroldxFoundation doesn't need flashy riffs or grooves to get the listeners' attention.

Ritual – Paper SkinPosted on 17.07.11 by xroldxPaper Skin gives Ritual more material to ignite the audience and proves them to be one of the most versatile bands around in the hardcore scene right now.

Supertouch – Lost My WayPosted on 08.02.11 by PimThere were a lot of reunions the last couple of years. Not all of them were successful. What does the recent Supertouch reunion bring to the table?

Maximum Penalty – Life And TimesPosted on 17.10.09 by AdminMaximum Penalty found a home on Reaper Records. "Life And Times" is the result. The big question is "Will it be worth the wait?"

Iron Age – The Sleeping EyePosted on 17.07.09 by Pim"Constant Struggle" is still one of my favorite records. So my expectations for this one were pretty high, will it be able to live up to it?
