RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR - Tokyo assault REVIEW.

YES FRANCE AGAIN, this time PARIS, Shibuya departement & Ile-de-France.
This cd is fucking amazing, thats the first thing I need to say.
Great sound really polished, Its MOSH METAL I think is best to describe it.
Track 1 starts with a nice clean guitar tune, then boom in it comes MOSH IT UP.
only 5 tracks on this cd which sucks, but they are so good you will play it over & over again & not get bored.

Hip HOP influenced hardcore, but with a nice metal Anthrax kinda mosh parts.

They describe themselves as Onizuka Hardcore what ever that is :)
Five people in this band, you might have seen there music vid online for the song Protect your chest, unfortunaltely that song is not on this cd, but lucky its going to be on the upcomming Goodlife records comp CD BEATDOWN BASTERDS.

This band is gonna be HUGE TRUST ME, get this CD you will love it.

MOSH OR DIE!!!

ULTIMHATE - In your ass bastard volume 2 REVIEW.

It seems like the French are invading european hardcore these days, so yes this band comes from France, Rennes home of the great STORMCORE.
The title for the cd makes me laugh straight away In your ass bastard volume 2, but this is the 2nd release, I read online somewhere they did an album in 2008 which I need to track down now.

Intro tune is a nice bit of HIP HOP, only 5 songs on the cd, its very similar to LZR, also this band has 2 vocals.
A groovy hatebreed with a mix of Kickback with ace moshparts.
Track number 3 has to be my favorite of this cd PISS ON YOUR GRAVE.
& yes you guessed by the title & the name of this band, Tuff guy lyric style, I don't think there are any bands from france that I don't like, So this is another great new band from the land of Croissants.

The only think I don't like about this cd is I wanna hear more, whens the next cd out??

I don't know where you can get this cd from, but i'm sure if you write them on myspace they will let you know.

HEADSHOT - fight for reality Review.

I don't know much about this band headshot & have never heard of them untill I was given there CD at a recent show in Belgium.

HEADSHOT are a 6 piece from the Kortrijk area of BEL also known as H8000.
9 tracks on this release, its pretty much tuff guy but they mix it up a little, there's a slight H8000 classic sound with some streetpunkparty vibe thrown in too, but still plenty of hard fast 2 step parts & sweet breakdowns that will get you out your chairs & on the dance floor.

The Cd starts with a nice HELLRAISER sample & then straight into the first song, no big long intro like lots of bands seem to do these days, No messing about.
The twin vocal attack fit really well togeather, I don't want to say too much about this band because there will be an interview soon & then go more in depth.

I really enjoy this cd, & play it alot, I hope I get to check these guys out live soon.
