R.I.P.

Hey folks.
As you can see, this blog is not alive anymore (for some simple reasons).
But I'll have a look at the shoutbox from time to time because of broken-link reports, so that I can reupload them if possible.
I will be still a part of www.music-pirates.org, don't forget to stop by there, we got a lot of good music - over 3600 albums at the moment. And if you want, join our board (if you're a German speaker)!
See ya & stay punk

Faced Moment - The Timbre. The unsetting Film.

Faced Moment @ Myspace

Started as a 3-piece screamo band in 2003, Faced Moment played many shows in Germany, Belgium, France and Luxembourg. In 2004 their released a selftitled album, one year after their demo cd „Leidenschafft“ was recorded and which might still be their most popular work.
After 2 years of playing and furher 2 years of standstill, Faced Moment exchanged their bass player and started with new enthusiasm to create their first full lenght titled „the timbre, the unsettling film.“, which sounds way harder, more mature and less melancholic. It has been recorded in 2009 and a few songs already found their way on Myspace and LastFM. (info taken from last.fm)

Asslranzn - Greatest Hits Re-Mastert / Hinterm Schlebberbusch Platinum MC

 Asslranzn @ Myspace

Well, this is a strange release. Asslranzn is actually a band without a name or with many names or whatever. According to their label they are just "a very kewl band". And according to their Myspace site they are currently called "Bulldozers of Blood!!!". Whatever. You see, these guys don't take themselves too serious. And so does this music sound like. Probably recorded in a rehearsal room, they play a kind of experimental punk music that really kicks your ass. By the way, members of the band Lara Korona and Life's not like Dawson's Creek record label are here at work.
You can buy this tape for 3 €, but it's sold out at the moment. Will be restocked in November, just check out the label's Myspace site.

Artist: They don't have a steady name :-)

Radare - Demo

 Radare @ Myspace

Radare was formed in winter 2008 by members of the chaotic hc bands Actress and Paris. Their sound ranges from down-to-earth post-rock melodies over western tremolo slow-motion blues to to epic doom juggernauts. Or in other words: Radare is one of the most interesting post-rock/sludge/doom bands at the time. The song from this demo was later again released in another version on their full-length lp.

Just a breath of air

Hey,
just wanted to tell you that i'm not dead. Neither is my blog - maybe. I'm not interested in screamo that much anymore. It actually becomes boring for me that you never understand a word of the singer (well there are definitely some bands I still love, especially some German ones). But, besides a lot of other styles of music (good hiphop, electro, post-rock, experimental stuff etc), I still love listening to punk and stuff like that. Therefore I think it would be a good thing, according to my blog, to not only concentrate on screamo-ish music but also on other styles, e.g, I guess a lot of you enjoy post-rock and ambient music like I do it.
But I only want to upload music that I really like, so sorry for some stuff sent to me which I didn't upload. By the way, for some time past I got a new email-adress, I forgot to change it here...So if you wanna insult me, show me stuff or just want to tell me something, write to:

Try to feel, try to enjoy your lifes.

Grube und Pendel & November 13th - Split

 November 13th @ Myspace

Yeah as you know, November 13th is one of my favorite hardcore/crust bands from Germany - desperate lyrics meet aggressive hardcore music, that's what I like. This strike here is an older split with the rather unknown band Grube und Pendel, who play a kind of epic post-hardcore mixed with elements of bands like EA80 or Fliehende Stürme. I don't know if this band has ever released some other stuff apart from this song.

Fargo - Flucht nach vorn CD-EP

 Fargo @ Myspace

"Fargo are from Essen and play emoish HC in the vein of good old 90's bands you know from your recordbox! Growning bass structures, d-beating drums, a steamrollering guitar and epic vocals are joined together to 5 new songs. From the starting intro to the transitions, one to the other, all are runny and float into a powerful final. Definitly for fans of Zann, Perth Express or Battle of Wolf 359!"

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!
