Reka - I


I already introduced Reka to you here. They are a Russian post-metal/sludge/screamo band from Moscow, founded in 2007 by members of the screamo bands Optimus Prime and Forutnae Verbera. In April they went on East-Europe tour together with the French post-metal outfit Celeste and for this tour, they released the first two (untitled) albums of their anthology, which shall be consist of 4 parts. I think Reka is a very great band, they create such a deep atmosphere -  I'd love to see them live, maybe someday they play in Germany. Go check them out! You can order their cd`s and merchandize at their myspace page.

Matula - Blinker


This is the new and 2nd album by Matula, a punk band from the north of Germany. Since Tao uploaded a not so perfect 128 kbps vinyl-rip of this album, people waited for a better quality - so here we go. If you dig these new German emo-ish bands like Captain Planet, you'll love this album. Escpecially the song "Yacht" is so damn great, I recently listened to it the whole evening. Please order this record if you like it at Zeitstrafe Records (very likeable institution), you can have it on CD or LP for 10 € + shipping.

Mio / Duct Hearts - Split


Another split-7" from Germany. Now it's time for the post-punk/screamo duo Mio from Leipzig and the solo post-rock/atmospheric emo project Duct Hearts from Munich. So there are more labels than band members involved in this release, hehe. Anyhow, if you dig music that is played by hearts full of love and deep thoughts you should check this out. Especially the Duct Hearts song is sooo beautiful! And keep your eyes open for the new split-12'' of Mio and Captain, your ship is sinking.
This upload is from a record-rip I did by myself and something went not so well during the rip. So the quality is not the best, but it's much better than nothing. And if you like it you should buy it anyway, it is worth it. At least I added a txt file with the lyrics and further information.
ps: Thx to Tao for your rip with a better sound quality!

Eaves & Francis Brady - Split


Nice split by two German emo violence bands that both broke up already.
Francis Brady consisted of 9 (!) members, for example, they had 3 shouters and 3 guitarists. They were founded in summer 2002 and called it a day one year later, after releasing a demo cd-r, a s/t 7'' and this split 7'' with Eaves. One of Francis Brady's shouters later screamed in the meanwhile defunct band Deleometer.
Eaves were founded in Aachen in 2000. Before breaking up in 2005, they released a demo cd, a split with Atrox on CD and 2xLP, this split with Francis Brady and a full-length called "Höhenangst" on cd and 12''. 2 of their members went on to play in the band Trainwreck.
I found the mp3s on the internet and their quailty is good, so that I don't have to rip my record. But I scanned the artwork + lyrics of my record and added it to the upload for you, have fun with it.
