Here’s a neat release that arrived today at Thoughts Words Action headquarters. It was one of those parcels I expected after the holidays, so I am glad it arrived safe and sound. This particular release will be such a treat for fans of punk rock music. Bleak Midwinter is a debut extended play by Gone…

Varoshan – …And Then The Rains Came CS (Elitbolaget)
Now it’s time for some heavier sounds. It’s been a while since I wrote something about sludge music, so this release came at the right time, thanks to Elitbolaget. …And Then The Rains Came by Varoshan is one of those records that keeps you entertained from scratch to finish. Of course, this only counts if…

In From The Cold – Isolation Blues LP (Geenger Records)
I have to admit I awaited this record with anticipation since I am familiar with the sound of this band. In From The Cold are no strangers to the local and regional sludge scene. After all, the members are veterans of the underground scene and previously played in groups such as Drawbacks, That Shining Star,…

Mamut – Nihilist
I am tuning in with another great release that unquestionably seeks the attention of the broader auditorium. Nihilist is a debut full-length album by Mamut, a relatively new Croatian quartet coming from Rijeka. The group nurtures interesting sound rarely heard in the Balkan region. Quite the contrary, I am not familiar with the bands who’re…

Soulcase – Devour EP
Today, I would like to introduce a new Croatian alternative rock quintet that consists of experienced musicians. Seriously, these guys are not joking at all, and that fact is vividly hearable right with the initial beats of this extended play. Soulcase is coming from Rijeka, a Croatian town with a rich music background, so there’s…

Abuse Ritual – Abuse Ritual CD (Demons Run Amok Entertainment)
A couple of recent releases by Demons Run Amok Entertainment arrived about a week ago, so I thought it would be great to start a weekend with a debut full-length recording by Abuse Ritual. As far as I am informed, Abuse Ritual is a brand new band formed by the former members of bands such…

Mass Hypnosis – Disin4mation CD (Geenger Records)
Once again, we’re dusting off the dirt from the Geenger Records archive shelves, exploring some of their older releases and whatnot. This time I decided to pick up some slightly different than our readers might get used to, so instead of some good old punk rock, I picked up a modern metal band. I thought…

Eternal Struggle – Year Of The Gun CD (Demons Run Amok / Upstate Records)
Today I have a special treat for those who love their hardcore music hard, aggressive, relentless as much as possible. This band is a real deal, all-inclusive package, and it stacks all of these qualities as much as possible. After all, they caught the eye of Brian Mitts Daniels (Madball/Skarhead), who offered to the group…

Enraged Monkeys – No Compromise CD (Hicktown Records)
This band caught my attention even before I heard their debut single Leave The Sea. As a longtime fan of Planet Of The Apes movies, comics, books, and the entire franchise, I couldn’t avoid this band by any means. I was even more surprised no one ever considered this franchise for a possible visual/thematical aesthetics…

Truth & Tragedy – Innocence Abandoned CD
Here’s another great one that I purposely left as a treat for this Sunday. Truth & Tragedy is a tremendous post-hardcore duo, which developed as a result of six months of planning, songwriting, and recording. This German duo emanates from Bamberg, and recently they premiered their debut full-length material over social media. Truth & Tragedy…

No matter which music genres we’re talking about, there are loads of artists who just waited for a perfect moment to unleash their talent. From indie rock to progressive metal, you will come across…

V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
Back in the pre-digital era, various artists’ compilations and samplers acted as the crucial source for discovering fresh music. It was a convenient way to promote the latest singles, announce albums or introduce brand new artists/bands to the broader auditorium. Then the digital era commenced, and digital singles replaced regular 7″ records, compilations, and samplers.…
