(A Retrospective in four Parts)<div><div><p style="text-align: center;"><b> BBMA142</b> - the first of four interrelated EPs by the prolific, militant
vegan straight edge metalcore project <a href="https://forwardtoeden.bandcamp.com/">Forward To Eden</a> was released on November 3rd. On this record the solo project
by Tim Rule (Castigator, The Rule, etc.) delivers their very own, unique
version of the xvx classic "Still Believe in What Has Fallen Apart" by
scene legends xMAROONx on one side and a new, exclusive track<br /> in the
renowned FTE Style, which is 90's Metalcore in the vein of bands like
Caliban, Morning Again<br /> or Poison The Well, on the other side.

where they have to release an acoustic/neo-folk album? Not gonna happen
with FTE, haha - I did record this one single though. <br /><br />I always
loved recording cover songs, but there is always the danger of it
getting boring if it's too close<br /> to the original or just "worse"... so I
decided to record some cover songs with "a twist". For this first one, it is in fact an acoustic/neo-folk version of a well known classic. I
recorded more music, had more cover ideas and so this project soon
became bigger. I also had some original tunes waiting to be born, so I
came up with the concept of 4 interrelated EPs. Each with a cover (or
two) on one side and a new, original song (or two) on the other side. Each
with a new, fitting artwork as well and lots of background info - and
to make it even more weird, released on custom 8" vinyl. <br /><br /><b></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1506953042/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://forwardtoeden.bandcamp.com/album/i-iv">I / IV by Forward To Eden</a></iframe><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />Still Believe in What Has Fallen Apart</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Originally written by xMAROONx and released in 2002 on their legendary debut album Antagonist<br /> (on Catalyst Records). Recorded completely DIY by Tim Rule during the first half of 2023.<br /> Mixed and mastered at <a href="https://slaughterindustryrecords.bandcamp.com/music">Slaughter Industries</a> by Bernardo Rebelo.<br /><br />As a vital part of the 2nd wave of metalcore in the late 90s/early 00s and on the forefront of vegan edge metal, Maroon started in '98/'99. Touring europe with merely a demo and an ep, they opened the stage for bands like Earth Crisis and Morning Again. After the release of a split EP with Absidia and a split Album with Self Conquest, they went to record said debut full-length, which is still an all-time classic. Unfortunately their sound gradually changed after this release and they began to sound a lot more modern... after a label-change - first to Alveran Records, then Century Media - and 4 more LPs,<br /> they split up in 2011 (with a final goodbye tour in 2014).<br /><br />The idea to make my own version of this song, but in a singer/songwriter acoustic campfire singalong style, was born in the spirit of trying to record a true vegan straight edge hymn - something xMAROONx have accomplished more than once. So i revisited records of my youth. Records that shaped and influenced me and therefore stand for what forward to eden has become. As a full acoustic track without any drums this may not be exemplarily for what FTE sounds like, but the lyrics are definitely on point! ...also i could never have done it any better than the original, so giving it a very special makeover was basically the only option here, haha<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>War Still Rages...</b><br />Written and recorded completely DIY by Tim Rule during the first half of 2023. <br />Mixed and Mastered at Slaughter Industries by Bernardo Rebelo.<br /><br />Manifest:<br />This revolution is to be founded upon the principles of maintaining and fighting for the equality of all innocent life along with it’s unhindered and autonomous continuation. This Movement is built upon the Unity of individuals from all walks of life who share a similar Ethic. While we have undoubtedly seen the fruits of our labor within our life, the end goal of this revolution lies down a road long and treacherous; one that has been treaded by many a sojourner before us and will be progressed by many after we have left. Our final victory may come too late for us to fully see and appreciate. As well, it may not help all who suffer today, in the present. Accordingly, though we should be prepared and continue to lay the foundation for a society based upon acceptance of the Divine rule of the natural Order. To make way for this, we must ourselves be free before we can bring true and lasting freedom to others. Maintaining the level of purity necessary to feel a true sense of self-liberation. Our primary goals should lie in educating potential allies, honing our bodies, minds and spirits to a razor’s edge - preparing for the battle that this modern Babylonian state has brought to the Earth and her inhabitants - thus producing a climate where true and lasting victory can be achieved and maintained. We will never have the numbers or resources to face the New World Order head on, so the time is now that we must disappear from their sight, ceasing to offer any outward alliances, to all but those who have proven their unwaivering Faith and devotion to what is right. We are invisible and omnipresent; existing out of the context of time, unhindered by the constraints of life, death, undeterred by oppressive political regimes and the like. While we introduce new and devout adherents to the new ethic, we simultaneously will raise our children in the ways of righteousness. Self-preservation and empowerment need not merely be our strivings. For we exist in the spirit of Truth, our ideological beliefs stem forth directly from the primordial law; the natural order. The Force with which we expel those who pillage and exploit all that is pure - for the sake of their imagined personal gain - is the same which emanates forth from us all. For this battle rages on until every last captive is freed, every soul liberated and every profiteer of suffering brought to justice. While preparing ourselves for the Inevitable and ongoing battle against the forces which have conspired to subjugate the Earth and its inhabitants to their exploitative will, we must ensure that we face these emissaries of suffering as prepared as conceivably possible. The WAY cannot change, yet, It is influx. It is eternal, timeless, yet only observable within the constraints of time. It has no name, yet every word, sound and potential reflects a glimpse of It. It is within all things however limited and segmented, yet at the same time It can never be fully realized within or by anything that limits It. For similarly, even though our Movement hold no singular name, and the banners beneath which our predecessors marched are no longer waved, our mission has not failed and our way, the WAY, has not changed. The Truth rarely lies alone in the letter of the law, rather Its essence is held in the Spirit of the same. The Truth is not contained simply in our outward message, rather it is held within the spirit of Truth that we carry on. With great certainty it can be said that in these latter days we will face many hardships and struggles. Thus, now is the time to purify ourselves and strengthen our bonds to one another. That in so doing we will emerge from the flames of chaos and rise from the ashes of this falling "civilization" like a renewed Pheonix.<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>BBMA143</b> - the second of four interrelated EPs by the prolific, militant
vegan straight edge metalcore project Forward To Eden was released on January 5th. This time
multi-instrumentalist Tim Rule (Castigator, The Rule, etc.) takes us
back down memory lane to his own beginnings with re-imagined versions of
songs from his previous projects. "Will I Ever Understand" was
originally written by Approaching Rage in 2006/07 and "Almost Hollow"
was originally written by blueskiesburning (project name) in 2015. For
further info check this recent in-depth interview with Tim:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://hardcorepunk.wiki/qa-with-tim-ruhl/">https://hardcorepunk.wiki/qa-with-tim-ruhl/</a>
<br />
"Pilgrimage of the Soul", while being a new FTE original, was also
already written in early 2021<br /> for another project, which though never
came to life.

Just some friends playing Metalcore.<br />We recorded some live demos and played a handfull shows, but that's it. Most of it has long since fallen into oblivion. I always regrettet not having recorded at least an actual EP. Our guitarist and mastermind behind the band, Andy, was really a virtuoso despite his young age. The last thing I remember about him is that he travelled to spain to learn actual fucking flamenco guitar from some grand master! Unfortunately I'm barely in touch with the others either, but I certainly haven't learned any instrument professionally, nor did I take a single singing lesson since! So, yeah, me doing this solo might not be the best idea, but here you go - I tried to do it as original to the source as possible... except for the lyrics. I HAD to change at least some of them. 14 year old me was TERRIBLE at writing english lyrics, haha The lyrics are to be seen from the eyes of a cattle. Originally they were personal (14 yo me just had a first heartache and was listening too much The Used, From First To Last and Silverstein), I didn't touch the refrain though. Just altered the verses a bit to make it fit. You might actually be able to find a live version from back then on youtube...<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>Almost Hollow</b><br />Originally written by blueskiesburning (project name) in 2015<br />Recorded completely DIY by Tim Rule during the first half of 2023. <br />Mixed and Mastered at Slaughter Industries by Bernardo Rebelo.<br /><br />blueskiesburning (project name) was another short-lived project of mine. Lots of things we were at odds with, not just the band name. I wanted to play Poison the Well, the Drummer boysetsfire and the Guitarist Architects. eventually I moved to Hamburg in 2016 and left the band completely.<br />We never did any actual recordings besides some rehersal room demos and also never played outside of said room... However, I also tried to re-record this as original to the source as possible (including the vocal style) and I really would like to see where this project would've went. Lyrics are quite personal. I started this project right after a break-up, which left me in a bad place emotionally for a while. You might still be able to find the bsb version (with a cheesy anime video) on youtube...<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>Pilgrimage of the Soul</b><br />Originally written and recorded in early 2021 for an unnamed project, which never came to life.<br />Re-recorded and slightly altered completely DIY by Tim Rule during the first half of 2023. <br />Mixed and Mastered at Slaughter Industries by Bernardo Rebelo.<br /><br />Manifest:<br />The War outside manifests from the War within. The Eternal Jihad. The struggle for a return to a more harmonious state of existence is the most daunting and difficult battle ever waged by human beings,<br />for it is waged across numerous planes of existence - psychological, physical and spiritual. As the mental facilities justify an essentially warped spiritual perspective, the physical element manifests and maintains the material consequences that result. To truly overcome this system of inequality, violence and exploitation, all elements of life must coalesce in revolt, spiritual equality manifesting in physical reality. In these latter days we stand before the gates of the so-called "New Paradigm" - the Superior Eden - of the very Era of the Final Truth. Those who seek to directly actuate the coming of this final Era must thus transcend the limitations of the paths that have refined the human acknowledgement of the Divine Truth, and yet completely include all of them. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />-<br /><br /><b>Interlude</b><br />(continuation of the Manifest)<br />This global empire has waged war upon those who serve the higher power through ideology and action and now is the time for us to declare Jihad against that same system of Dajjal. This is not Jihad in the sense of random and indiscriminant acts of violence against the innocent, that Babylon would have you see it as. Rather it is waging the Greatest Jihad of Truth, Justice, Wisdom and Faith, against the lies perpetuated by the minions of the Adversary, the Imposter who keep our Brothers and Sisters shackled within the chains of ignorance. In this battle there can be no compromise with the Anti-Christ system which we fight; the prostitute of the world, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT.<br />Those who stand to profit from the continuation of the status quo will not relent, nor will they forfeit their power and control. As the very foundation of that deviant culture is unstable, token change cannot repair our alienation or stave off damages that have been and will continue to be wrought against this once pristine Eden. We must rise above our fears and build anew. This is the goal of this Movement, of those who follow the Straight Path. To re-establish our connection with the Divine and awaken mankind from the illusory dream of "self," of "me" and "you;" in order to foster liberation for all that have been shackled, exploited and destroyed by the modern way of life. Our goal is peaceful co-existence with that which sustains us, harmoniously living with, rather than against, the Primordial Law. An end to the violent oppression of others for human benefit. To re-establish a way of life, THE Way of Life; stressing harmony, love, respect and community to the fullest, most dynamic extent.<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>BBMA144</b> - "III/IV" will be released in March.

How are you? Could you please introduce yourself to everyone who doesn't know you yet?<br />Tell me, what exactly do you do?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hey, this is Tim from Germany. I run BBMA Records and play in a couple of bands/projects. Forward To Eden, Castigator, Throgh Chaos & Solitude, The Rule, xResistancex, Guthmensch, Carnivore Crusher, … to name just a view. When I’m not making music, I’m either working out, painting Warhammer Figures, playing Magic The Gathering, or doing some other Nerd Shit. I’m also a huge collector of all kinds of things – since I turned straight edge (pretty much exactly 10 years ago), my addictive personality manifested itself in a love for vinyl, band shirts, mangas & comics, actionfigures, movies (dvd, bd, vhs), etc. …definitely more healthy, but maybe even worse for my wallet, haha!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVlVACiVfDGJOZZMJzHhCOENLPf9jxVhONNALvWjsfR9KOflIoUNrHCsd9oM112W0dV993lX_ldsNkMyQeQZu8PbcBTSo9kaLg6JMkV1xLl5I9ur0QIqjybDMmJhJ2eUXOUdPPh2MVGqi/" width="180" /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>2. Your own record label, playing in several bands, blog and zine in the past. Many, many activities!<br />How do you find the time and willingness to do all this? What does motivate you?<br />(you can describe what you released in 2020)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My secret is: I just hate being unproductive. While productivity can be very subjective (depending on whats on my agenda at the moment and what not), I do not allow myself to indulge in futile activities, like just hanging around or sleeping more than 5 or 6 hours at a time. It really bothers me when I’m forced to do nothing. So, as stressy as it may sound to other people, my usual romantic couples evening consists of folding/cutting/numbering some record sleeves, while bingeing a series and just drinking my essential calories in the form of protein powder with water. I’m really modest when it comes to that (and my very understanding wife is a huge support).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Regarding 2020: There have been years with more output, but it still has been a really productive year! Recorded another Forward To Eden Album, to be released in February and finally finished the Through Chaos & Solitude Album I've been (more or less) working on for the last 3 years; also to be released at some point this year. For me, the year started with the finalization of the Castigator Album, which has also been in production for a good 2 years and then, when we were finally ready and just about to plan a release tour and everything, corona hit...</div><div style="text-align: center;">The first BBMA Releases of the year were the Ritual Of Decay – awesome vegan death metal band from the States – and the Death Warrant – real heavy metallic hardcore from the UK – demo tapes.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shortly after that, the new Vital Force EP came out (which was already planned in late ’19, but took a little longer). Russian Vegan Straight Edge 90’s Style Metalcore and really cool diy kids!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, while Castigator was still discussing whether or not to release right now, I used the time to fast forward on the 2nd Forward To Eden Album, which I had been working on since late 2019.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This also became a huge BBMA Release, as I went all out with a big boxset, containing a flag, embroidered ski-mask, engraved knife, sewn patch, etc., etc., - the vinyl release itself with a big 12” size booklet, posters and stickers… better check it out if you seriously consider yourself vegan and/or straight edge, hehe.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then, during the first lockdown, when we were still thinking this whole thing would soon be over, Rat (Statement, Unborn, …) came on to me with two new Carnivore Crusher tracks and since I just released the Ritual Of Decay demo and thought it was a perfect fit, I asked them for a split release - maybe 2 months later, the Split 7” EP was born.</div><div style="text-align: center;">During that time I also released the new Enslave 7” EP, Unworthy Of Life Demo Tape and Cleansing 12” EP – all killer vegan straight edge metalcore releases you shouldn’t be sleeping on!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aaand did another run of my infamous Mixtape, accompanied by some cool Anime rip-off merch (some leftovers still available, if anyone cares).</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that, I started recording the 3rd FTE Album and was helping my brother 4Paws with some new tracks of his - so we decided it would be time for THE vegan straight edge rapcore crossover single of the century – available on spotify, bandcamp, etc. and soon to be released on vinyl.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The BBMA year ended with releases for my friends in Rats Will Fest (CD), Witness The Fall (12”), Seek Nothing (Tape), Eden Is Gone 12” and another Ritual Of Decay 7” EP.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Retrospectively this actually sounds like a fair lot, but I somehow thought corona would grant me even more productivity in terms of writing/recording music. It certainly gave me hobby time, but somehow it also came with an (at times overwhemling) phlegmatism… and there is literally nothing I hate more!<br /><i>Update from September: The mentioned releases (new Forward To Eden mini-Album 12" and Through Chaos & Solitude debut Album on CD) are now released and available from <a href="http://bbmarecords.com/shop">bbmarecords.com/shop</a><br />Also, since Corona went into overtime, I seized the moment to record a full "The Rule" album - to be released early next year, and another Through Chaos & Solitude EP/mini-Album (and started working on a new Forward To Eden album). So, be prepared! ;-)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>3. I read in an older interview with you that you booked concerts for a living. Are you still doing this? Must have been tough during the lockdown ... Was it hard to survive during the pandemic?<br />Many people lost their jobs.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I always booked smaller diy shows as a hobby or helped some friends crews – never did that with a financial outcome (tbh I almost always paid on top for shows, haha).</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did main work - day job - in the ticket selling (concerts, theaters, shows) business for years though. Fortunately changed to a small (veg, organic) food retail business in early 2019, which literally saved my ass now! Seeing promoters, roadies and bands struggling, really breakes my heart… I think it will definitely still take some healing time for the scene, if at all it will ever become working again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>4. What do you think of the voices suggesting that this whole coronavirus thing is a product of human exploitation of animals? And what do you think – did mankind prove its worth in the face of the global threat?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To me, mankind has just again proven how disgusting and simply greed-driven it is.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We definitely brought this on ourselves and the only thing we deserve – if we will not fundamentally change – is to die out. Mankind is still raping out mother earth as we speak. We’re deliberately destroying our ecosystem – we just accept it in the face of profit. If we continue like this, the next pandemic is just around the corner. (read the lyrics and explanations to Carnivore Crusher and Forward To Eden, if you care, as I also treaded these topics there)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>5. And what about the anti-vaccination movements in Germany that deny a pandemic?<br />How would you rate their popularity? Do you think they are a threat, especially considering the fact<br />that many of them have connections with the radical right?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yet another symptom of the coming Dajjal, Kali-Yuga, or whatever you wanna call it. It’s sad and scary at the same time. These people are heated up by social media. Subtly indoctrinated to follow someone elses agenda… and it’s not only stupid knuckledheads or alt-right folks, it’s also “normal” people from the middle of society. Their numbers are growing steadily and the future is looking bleak. We need to act while still possible. If recent history has shown as anything, then it’s that rightwing governments won’t do shit for our environment. We must strive for Earth, Human and Animal Liberation – and I believe that these can only go hand in hand.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaZJ0x3ZSXKQG3uKyVdvg8KbvjdlcHcpr8Dyd_bHsjRphdfQSjaHB6OGG_0wbi3Xgi4_o87urgdvI_TzDLJU9MLFtIdSfpQ-YLG4QIoyXGjgsgvGOb6rboZ4V8O6L91fohf570U21N-JM4/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaZJ0x3ZSXKQG3uKyVdvg8KbvjdlcHcpr8Dyd_bHsjRphdfQSjaHB6OGG_0wbi3Xgi4_o87urgdvI_TzDLJU9MLFtIdSfpQ-YLG4QIoyXGjgsgvGOb6rboZ4V8O6L91fohf570U21N-JM4/" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>6. Let's come back to you and what you are most associated with - vegan straight edge. Tell us about<br />your beginnings - how did you come across this idea, what attracted you to it?<br />What makes you stick to it after so many years? Does anything special inspire you every day?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I became vegetarian in 2009 (at the age of 17), after my sister and my best friend both already adopted veganism. I’m not an over-empathic or emotional person, so I simply didn’t care. I even started vegetarianism because of a bet. I was literally eating nothing but meat (and occasionally fries) for years and so my best friend dared me and I did 2 weeks. Fortunately my girlfriend at the time was really happy with that decision and so we did it together and also watched a bunch of documentaries, which really blew my mind… the impact of carnism on our ecosystem and even the market economy is simply unmatched. It is by far the absolute worst thing for the earth, the animals (obviously) and even the humans, there is.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One small example: For the so called "production" of 1kg meat, 7 - 10kg of grains (wheat) and 10 - 20.000 litres of water are needed. The majority of soy (the number one source for animal/lifestock food) is being produced in Brazil and the surroundings. That is to feed 60 billion animals (which is the estimated number of lifestock animals worldwide), while Brazil is also the global leader in hunger and malnutrition (although the soy it produces could feed its entire population more than 3 times).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Short: We can only eat meat because other people starve and die for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are literally clearing the rainforest to plant soy. Killing people, animals and environment there. Then raping the poor production country and feeding the genetically modified shit to western livestock, which in return kills our own ecosystem. And then we can’t even throw the final product of suffering on the market, because no one would profit from it anymore, so the state has to intervene and subsidize the fuck out of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Still, it took me a while to fully adopt veganism (must’ve been in late 2013), but it’s definitely the best decision I ever took, right after the straight edge.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started drinking and smoking all kinds of things really early, at the age of 13. It slowly became more and harder stuff, until it was the first thing in the morning and the last thing before going to bed. It was almost 100% of my financial expenses, hobby-time and probably even my personality… and I didn’t even see anything wrong with it, until I had my first lung collapse in 2011 and literally died from suffocation. Gladly I was brought back – reborn – and never looked back since.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>7. The eternal question - which component is more important - veganism or abstinence?</i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, while straight edge definitely saved my life, I still see it as a rather personal choice. Of course it affects you and our society in a lot of ways though – drugs are basically designed to keep you numbed, quiet and compliant. Addictions are pretty counterproductive to any kind of activism, liberation ideals and just generally suck. But I still wouldn’t call the straight edge a necessity for the whole population… like, if you really wanna stay dumb, lethargic and compliant, plus not give a shit about liberation struggles that have been fought for generations, be my guest.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Whole different story if you wanna shove animal parts into your face. If you accept the destruction of our whole ecosystem, the distressing and painful end of a sentient being which simply wants to live, the undignified reality of meat production for animals and humans, the sheer uneconomicalness, merely for your greedy, gustatory indulgence, then, when knowingly proceeding deliberately, in my book, you have given up your rights.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>8. What is the difference between straight edge and a simple abstinence?<br />Do you think it makes sense to tear sXe away from its roots related to the hardcore punk scene?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Straight Edge is a movement. A lifetime commitment to a certain set of rules, which not only grants you super powers, but also makes you part of the coolest family on earth.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Abstinence can be a spiritual arbitration, unrelated to any movement.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Like, abstinence is the first step. Then you take an oath and receive The Straight Edge.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since it was born in the hardcore punk scene and still lives there, it doesn’t really make sense to extract it completely. Of course it has an influence on your whole life, but people change… I, myself, barely listen to hardcore anymore tbh… and never really listened to punk at all!</div><div style="text-align: center;">But there’s still a feeling attached to the straight edge, which I wouldn’t/couldn’t completely transport into Death- or Black Metal, haha…</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>9. Few times I discovered some people in the depths of the Internet who had no idea about sXe roots<br />or simply ignored them, distorting the image of the straight edge and making it into a right-wing<br />or "apolitical" ideology. What do you think about it?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can feel you man – in my opinion that’s just stupid. You can’t commit to an ideology if you don’t do it fully. Like, taking out 3/5 things you coincidentally feel good with/fit your lifestyle anyways and ignoring the others. That’s not how it works. Simply never having drunken alcohol or smoked a cigarette doesn’t make you straight edge! …or does not eating pig and giving to charity automatically make you a Muslim? Check your facts. Do your research. Educate yourself. Straight Edge isn’t cool anymore anyways!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8IdENcwufVDt5C49Mvv83rFmlJ6Tkf8wvo2509BYhGbw3kP1nFmZ98djiaxM1FypES1928ZJxIJviQrzGeddEbpeZhVfFoWfI0MAD9nQIYsN2b9et8hPCoqI6wYgfuAtLmfgA__-xdU6m/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8IdENcwufVDt5C49Mvv83rFmlJ6Tkf8wvo2509BYhGbw3kP1nFmZ98djiaxM1FypES1928ZJxIJviQrzGeddEbpeZhVfFoWfI0MAD9nQIYsN2b9et8hPCoqI6wYgfuAtLmfgA__-xdU6m/" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>10. Let's now talk about the hardline with which you clearly sympathize. How do you evaluate<br />the movement in retrospect? What was good about it and what went wrong? Was it misunderstood?<br />And above all: is there still any sense in talking about it in the 21st century?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hardline, as a movement, was founded in 1990 by the founder of the eponymous music label and singer of the leftist, militant animal rights band Vegan Reich. It started as a means to connect and further educate like-minded people. It obviously filled a gap and soon became quite popular in the hardcore punk community. The movement rose and spawned chapters in all corners of the United States and shortly after also abroad. Complementary the Vanguard Zines were published and carefully laid out its principles (along with lots of different flyers, handed out at shows and all kinds of gatherings).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Inherent for a movement, no matter where it came from, it attracted all kinds of people. Patrick “Rat” Poole, from the UK, radical left punk artist “Statement” released the infamous Prepare For Battle EP under that banner. Earth Crisis were to release their demo/first EP on Hardline Records (which unfortunately didn’t happen for a number of reasons), Raid from Tennessee further laid out vegan straight edge principles with their Words Of War EP, etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This was the first time that, in a dominant vegetarian drug free scene, the phrase “vegan straight edge” was used. Also the music became more metallic and created an opening for the, what was soon called Metalcore scene.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In short: without Hardline there would be no vegan straight edge metalcore.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Besides that, it also gave room for militant animal rights activists and, if not started them, definitely were a driving force in the CAFT (Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade), Animal Defense League, Earth First! and a long list of others.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But like I said, it attracted all kinds of people, and with that also people from various political and religious backgrounds. The movement developed a momentum of its own and so different chapters might had different emphasis.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The answer to that was a further development in the movement’s ideology, made clear in the following Vanguard Issues. The spiritual advancement of the founders and core members was transported into the movement, subtly progressing it to something more comprehensive, trying to cover all aspects of life. With deep ecology and now incorporated Islamic and Taoist views, the syncretic movement made the Natural Order key to all questions.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Natural Order is a philosophical construct, to which all life obeys. It comprises all actions and the flow of energy itself. It was, to their understanding and with best will, laid out in written form and thus naturally leaves room for subjective interpretation and misconception.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The most common are the sexual topics, which it tackles besides animal rights, politics, economy and ecology. That in the Natural State, procreation is a biological necessity, but fornication is a creation of society with dangerous side-effects (i.e. disease, addiction, etc.).</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don’t believe that Hardline condemned (non-procreational) sex and with that automatically excluded LGBT folks – it rather wanted to challenge our understanding of it and with thus stop it from becoming for some even a weapon or an unhealthy addiction.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, Hardline basically ended with the last Issue of the Vanguard Zine and the disbanding of Vegan Reich in 1999. The spiritual components lived on and got transported into new movements like the Ahl-i-Allah and later Taliyah al-Mahdi.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Though its principles might’ve been right, it’s hard to transport a historic movement into another time. For example: the pro-life debate. Back in the 90s it wasn’t all just black and white. There were lots of leftwing hardcore bands, which called themselves pro-life. I remember a particular zine from the (female) Bass player of Dim-Mak about pro-life feminism.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Obviously the scene has changed in the last 20 years regarding that matter, so we absolutely have to tackle it again and put it on discourse (if we want to transport those ideas into today).</div><div style="text-align: center;">This brings us to the next point: The Natural Order Movement.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>11. What exactly is the Natural Order Movement, which manifesto can be obtained from you?<br />I read it and would basically say it is a hardline, but pro-choice and with strong LGBTQ+ support.<br />Could you briefly summarize its assumptions? Is it a real organization or movement? Is it somehow active?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It’s the idea of transporting Hardline ideals into this day and age.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It’s a laid out idea that explains the Natural Order, the way it is, as we see it. These principles are universal and will hold forever true. The MOVE indicates a drive for action and, wherever you are, if you can identify with the Manifest and feel the need to act, then it is active.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Educate yourself: <a href="https://bbmarecords.com/product/the-natural-order-movement-manifest/">https://bbmarecords.com/product/the-natural-order-movement-manifest/</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>12. And how important is spirituality in all this?<br />How do you evaluate its influence on the vegan sXe scene or hardcore punk more broadly?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it’s more of a personal thing. These can go hand in hand really well, as seen in the Taliyah al-Mahdi for example, but I wouldn’t deem it a necessity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We have lots of OG people, like John “Paramananda Das” Porcelly, Sean “Shahid” Muttaqi, John Joseph from the Cro-Mags, Harun Najwan Askari (Naj.One) and of course HR from the Bad Brains (to just name a few) who dedicated their lives mostly to spirituality and religion.</div><div style="text-align: center;">While these can help to make sense of the seemingly chaotic and at times unjust world we live in, many people also take the straight edge (or veganism) as surrogate- or compensatory religion; which is totally okay in my opinion. It’s your journey. Maybe just try to keep an open mind and stay curious.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>13. To what extent are the Middle Eastern spirituality systems an authentic inspiration for you,<br />and to what extent only an aesthetic reference? How do you understand the Jihad?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For some years now I’m excessively studying religions. While I was brought up (mildly) Christian, the religion never really stood with me and I didn’t even knew much about it; but still developed a kind of rejection towards it, which I now started to question. I began with the 3 major religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), where the last one kinda stood with me, while still learning and educating myself as we speak. Research the <a href="https://www.taliyah.org/">Taliyah al-Mahdi</a> and the <a href="http://www.hashlamah.com/">Hashlamah Project</a> if you want to know more.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Vegan Jihad phrase however came even before that, as Shahid’s writings have always been a huge influence on me. The first Forward To Eden Shirts (with the Vegan Jihad backprint) were merely a rip-off from an old Unborn (UK) shirt – but after I read the 4 stages of Jihad by Shahid, the phrase really internalized in me. I wrote about it and explained my point of view many times since. Here is a brief summary from the lyrics in the Forward To Eden song “Jihad”:</div><div style="text-align: center;">[…] the first is to purify, to be prepared, to internalize, to seek the evil within yourself, to hunt it down, bring it to an end. The second is to speak it out, to bring the truth to those in doubt, to partake and to proclaim, to cut away and to reclaim. The third is to go outside, take action and don’t step aside, to live the change every single day, to walk the path and pave the way. The fourth is to make it clear the utmost extreme, to inflict fear - A force only to be used when ascended, to answer violence, felonies and offense […]</div><div style="text-align: center;">In short: The Jihad symbolizes an eternal struggle in all of us, against the demons from within as well as the ever-trying evil, trying to influence us. In that fight, militancy isn't something we should be afraid of, but rather embrace it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">On the new Album I also have songs like “divine nature”, in which I try to further explain my (current) understanding of it all.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>14. What can we expect from the latest album of your one-man project Forward To Eden? How did the whole creative process go? I have an impression that you develop your style and skills with each album!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Haha, thanks man! To be honest, most of the times it just kind of happens.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In early 2020, right after the finalization of the Ready To Kill For The Cult Album, I got asked for an exclusive track for a compilation, which I really wanted to do. So I just sat down and wrote and recorded a song. A few months later, the pandemic was still going on and it seemed like the compilation would be delayed indefinitely. So I recorded a Rage Of A Prophet (og xvx band from the mid ‘00s) Cover Song, with the plan to put these two songs on a split EP (which also never happened). Then, during the first lockdown and with new found inspiration from the Natural Order Movement, I wrote and recorded 2 more and decided that this would become an EP (or MLP) on its own. Summer came and the pandemic seemed to mild down a little + I realized that this would probably become a one-sided 12” and BBMA100, so I needed to make it something special and so I went all out with the layout and everything again – check it out on the <a href="https://forwardtoeden.bandcamp.com/album/a-jihad-for-the-sake-of-nature">Forward To Eden bandcamp</a> right now!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>15. In your lyrics you are uncompromising and you brutally show society its all sins against other living beings. How much blame lies with ordinary people and how much with corporations? Have you ever been misunderstood because of your radical approach?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you face someone ignorant, it’s a never ending discussion. We, as people, simply don’t like being told that we’re in the wrong. We just want to be pampered and kept away from any criticism. So when we get clearly confronted with our wrongs, we only have two options: Either to deny and ignore or to accept reality and change accordingly. Unfortunately I can’t make that decision for you; I can only show you again and again, in the most drastic manner, how, with your dietary choices, you are directly responsible for a majority of the harm in the world.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course the direct obligation lies with the corporations, who are the essential perpetrators and executors of atrocities. But when any of us is confronted with an undeniable truth – is shown the harsh reality of things – and still chooses to continue and support a crooked system of exploitation, responsible for animal- and human suffering, as well as the destruction of our ecosystem, they are at least complicitous.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wasn’t born vegan and I, by no means, lead an environmentally perfect life, but I refuse to stand by and just watch (let alone willingly support this carnistic shitshow).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5m1c3JlMyiMGnTX_ndC4YvgB81UevZOuroe-hjFtGmc5ttKt4_DKbOzcWz7p_NbrehC_8tTj0K43Vnq2sfBtrnOIjkxGsrLiYjwXcx_aLszrYHC8J_I1JNydXefMDb31ebvY7cSW0Vidb/" width="320" /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">16. As an owner of the record label you know better, I guess ;)<br />Tell me, what is the condition of the XVX scene globally right now?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the last couple of years, veganism has been growing more and more into the main public. It has left its weird eco hippie niche and attracted all kinds of (especially younger) conscious people.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also we are all connected through social media now and modern technology allows us to do anything from the save space of our apartments (which has become really drastic since the pandemic started).</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, while there are lots of xvx people globally, it’s still hard to form real bonds, necessary for a functioning scene. Also no one wants to be in a band anymore, when you can just steal some beats and be a rapper on soundcloud. Just look at me – I’ve tried to make Forward To Eden an actual band for 4 years, but eventually resigned and settled for a one-man project only.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have many bands on my label like Caged or Defiant, who can claim to be the only active xvx band from their country (at least in the relevant genre).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another problem is that small xvx shows aren’t really profitable anymore. A touring band needs to cover their expenses as well as the organizer/promoter. But sxe folks don’t even buy drinks and the leftwing scene (which, for obvious reasons, is the only we want at our shows) refuses to pay more than 5 bucks entry (if even)… Anyways, I’m sure ’21 will get better! Haha…<br /><i>Update: It is Septemer '21 now. The pandemic is longs over. XVX Hardcore Show are happening everywhere and the scene is blooming. We have flying cars that are 100% emissionfree and eco-friendly... NOT! (sorry)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>17. What attracts you the most to classic hardline bands and to all this aesthetics? Favorite albums?<br />And why them? And what about a regular vegan straight edge records?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Vegan Reich and Statement for obvious reasons I already talked about; still an abundant source of inspiration for me. My all-time favorite album would be Culture’s Born Of You though. The perfect mix of hardcore and oldschool metal – basically the birth of 90s metalcore – mixed with unrelentling vegan straight edge lyrics. This is also a good example of how thin the line was (and sometimes still is) when trying to distinguish from actual “hardline” I guess.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course you also have more outspoken (against hl) bands like Chokehold or Undying, which I also cherish (the later even had a problem with the term straight edge and just called themselves Drug Free, if I remember correctly). Another one of my all-time favorites is Morning Again’s Hand Of Hope, which is a musically flawless record to me, but lyrically (while they are really good written) has a more subtle approach on the whole vegan straight edge thematic. For me, to be vocal about your cause always adds a bonus point. I mean, just listen to Tears Of Gaia, one of my more recent favorites, I’m actually not sure if I would like them as much with lyrics about mere personal or abstract topics.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>18. You must tell us how did you come to know and start cooperation with Rat from the legendary band Statement, probably the first in history, which can be described as vegan straight edge! How was it to work together?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yeah, that also just kind of happened… I was trying to start an ethic 90s style metalcore band since 2012. Was sending riffs back and forth, but never really found the right people for it. Then in late 2013, just after turning fully vegan (I was a 90% vegan apologist for a long time), I just recorded some tracks on my own, but without drums, because I had no Idea how to play or program them and put them online, asking for help from the world-wide vegan edge community. With that, I coincidentally came to Rat (via facebook) and he just went and recorded drums for the first demo version of Indirect Cannibalism for me. Unfortunately that was also it for the time being – I waited almost a year for him to record the rest of the demo tracks (sent him a couple more), which but somehow never happened. We stayed in contact though and talked a lot since… and eventually I did get him to record drums for 4 of the songs from the Ready To Kill For The Cult LP, haha.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, our (virtual) friendship grew and then in mid-2015 we finally met for the first time, when I went to London for a festival with some friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that, must’ve been late 2016, he reached out to me with some new Statement tracks he wanted vocals for (the Decide EP). I was baffled and also honored and definitely wanted to do it!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Apparently that didn’t go too bad and so we started working and some conjoint projects, like Carnivore Crusher, Guthmensch and The Rule. With one of them just having recorded a new EP while I’m writing this Interview – be prepared for some more info really soon!<br /><i>Update: Yeah, it was <a href="https://boundxbyxmodernxage.bandcamp.com/album/beneath-the-light">the new Guthmensch EP</a> - check it out! ;-)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>19. You certainly talked with him about the animal liberation. You are both radical about it, but wasn't Rat chasing you away in extremism anyway? Where is the line you wouldn't cross in defending nature?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oddly I always felt attracted by extremes – wasn’t it the same with the straight edge and veganism one day? The funny thing is, once you’ve embraced and internalized it, it doesn’t feel extreme anymore at all! Let’s take veganism for example, the extreme concern for the wellbeing of our earth and all life upon it. Can we really be too militant about this? What I’m rather afraid of is: what if we’re not militant enough about it? I highly doubt that a flexitarian diet and reducing our carbon footprint by 25% in the next 20 years will be enough… and seriously what’s the worst that can happen if were giving it our all right now? Will the world get “too good”? Will we have too much wealth and will the ecosystem be too thriving? That’d be really scary, right? I’m afraid that for certain people it actually is! After all the status quo is really beneficial for 1% of the population, so let’s rather aim for the exact thin line of not letting it all fall to ruin, while still somehow keeping a crooked and dying system artificially alive.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We need an economical revolution; for the earth and for the 99% of us. That revolution won’t come by itself and sadly it also won’t just come with the next Beyond Meat Burger.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>20. What is the condition of the pro-animal movement in Germany?<br />Are you active or have you been active in any group?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For the moment my activism is confined to music/lyrics, writings (flyers/handouts/articles) and of course the periodical donations to various organizations and sanctuaries (with basically any and all proceeds from the label).</div><div style="text-align: center;">Animal Equality and PETA still have great, active street teams where I occasionally have been involved and some friends still are.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Besides that you can always do something by yourself when you see it. You don’t necessarily need a crew – one person alone can make a great difference with direct action!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>21. The fight for animal liberation has been going on for decades. Various methods were used,<br />many different tactics were chosen. Which would you describe as the most effective?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There have been many legendary activists, like Keith Mann, Jane Goodall, Barry Horne, Melanie Joy, Peter Singer, Walter Bond and a long list of anonymous ones. All these had very different approaches in their activism - from a theoretical or scientific method to unrelenting direct action; from writing, over demonstrating, to burning down laboratories. Different approaches with different impact and I am not here to judge or rate them, but to see a common denominator: Veganism.</div><div style="text-align: center;">That’s where it all starts and what it eventually boils down to; the lowest, and likewise the biggest common denominator. The easiest, most basic thing and while it seems unspectacular and passive, it also has the single biggest impact.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This does not mean that it should end here, but it is a means to an end. From this point on, you can go to any and all other forms of activism, but without veganism to start with, you’re lacking the basic foundation and for all and everyone to just embrace this single ethic would eventually mean the end of the necessity for activism.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>22. We are getting to the end so maybe let's relax the atmosphere a bit. By following your instagram posts, we can see that you have a lot of distance to yourself and great sense of humor. What is the most funny thing about XVX scene to you, which sometimes seems to be too bloated and serious?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yeah, I don’t take myself too serious I guess. While Forward To Eden is 100% serious and unadorned showing the reality of things, it’s still an art project and doesn’t fully reflect my own personality. After all I also do The Rule, which has a more humorous approach and <a href="https://xidolmasterx.bandcamp.com/">xIDOLMASTERx</a>, which is a whole different story, haha…</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, while I sometimes may write harsh, gloomy lyrics or my Instagram feed may portray me as a loathsome, offensive brute, I’m actually a rather jolly character. So, while there definitely is more than enough to be angry or sad about in this world, I always deemed negativity as futile. But as long as it gives you incitement, I won’t generally rate the PMA over an NMA.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Depending on the current mood and situation, I see the need for hard and angry hardcore music just as much as for bleak and depressive metal and while we also have positive melodic hardcore, I think what we’re still lacking is heavy xvx dance/party music. Therefore, if I’m ever going to start a 20th project and work on my keyboard skills a little, it’ll be xvx eurodance! So be prepared for when the clubs will be opening again!<br /><i>Update: they still haven't... but I actually started to rehearse some keyboard and synthie stuff, haha</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>23. You also seem to be a fan of older horrors, or at least I've seen a quite impressive collection of movies you have. 5 unquestionable horror classics are...</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Haha, yeah… as I said, I am terrible collector scum and therefore our apartment looks more like a thrift store…</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number One: Evil Dead (1981). A true original classic which laid the foundation to my all-time favorite movie: Evil Dead II.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number Two: The Thing (1982). While being a re-make from a 50s classic, I’d also deem this quite original and authentic, with some of the best special effects in movie history.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number Three: The Fly (1986). Another one that’s actually a re-make from a 50s classic… see above!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number Four: Alien (1979). Do I really need to say anything about this? If you actually haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor, immediately stop bingeing the latest Netflix original and thank me later.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number Five: Hellraiser (1987). The later follow-ups of the franchise are shit; granted. But 1 and 2 are absolute classics and on heavy rotation!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>24. Thanks for the interview! I hope it was not boring.

The only post for this year, wow...<br />
Anyway, I decided to give you my top 10 again and this time I also came up with my very own<br />
rating system; which maybe will be used more often in the future for reviews and stuff.<br />
There are 10 categories with a diverse evaluation weight, where 1 (or even 0) is the lowest score<br />
and 5 (or 6 in a very special case) is the highest. The results will be given in percentage<br />
and basically everything over 90% is record of the year material. Over 80% is damn fine.<br />
Over 70 is still good, but under that number it's probably generic or mediocre at best.<br />
Feel free to send in your bands release and if I can find the time, I might give you an<br />
honest response!<br />
<br />
So, for the undeniable number one (which really took it's time to appear this year):<br />
<a href="https://cattledecapitation.bandcamp.com/album/death-atlas">Cattle Decapitation - Death Atlas LP</a> - with an incredible rating of 105%<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6to6fFRi5QIoRvz7tiDQhS1Wbl7hyTd7mc1sJVlzbNPZS7YVM6QepYbvxYieMmL3LUZ0NcbWA4JJE4-pkQERo-Qtl_sPc-jix2b74J2jFON5PzOuMQF27GHHmSdoHSrH_EGTHfIrjS3sy/s1600/a0376496450_10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6to6fFRi5QIoRvz7tiDQhS1Wbl7hyTd7mc1sJVlzbNPZS7YVM6QepYbvxYieMmL3LUZ0NcbWA4JJE4-pkQERo-Qtl_sPc-jix2b74J2jFON5PzOuMQF27GHHmSdoHSrH_EGTHfIrjS3sy/s320/a0376496450_10.jpg" /></a><br />
So, we have a really nice 2xLP Gatefold (released via Metal Blade Records) with a great artwork. Just a Picture on the Inside and Inlay sheet is a bit simple, but it works. Solid 5 points.<br />
Musically, in my opinion, they just keep getting better. Tbh, I didn’t really had them on my radar<br />
until Monolith Of Inhumanity (2012) and their earlier stuff is a little too much grind for me – I mean, is it anything but grind? Anyways, since then they kept adding melodic death and black metal parts into their individual style of grind-metal. For this new Album, it’s the most diversified and exciting<br />
I have heard all year – it basically tackles all styles of metal there are, while creating something completely new on their own. More than I could've asked for.<br />
Plus, they have probably the best Vocalist there is and ever was (in extreme metal). Seriously, there are lots of great Vocalists around and of course, a lot is just matter of taste, but I can’t think of<br />
anyone who is capable of anything close to what this guy is doing! Definitely 6 points!<br />
Also we have great lyrics here - sometimes a bit cheasy, but very refreshing for grindcore!<br />
And I love it that Travis and (depending on the line-up) most of the guys are vegans, so you can<br />
even take those lyrics serious – the true soundtrack to the end of the world!<br />
Everything else is just top-notch. Technicality it's – as always – over the top. I can’t even get<br />
my head around their easier riffs… makes it really thrilling to listen to though! Production is<br />
simply outstanding – everything sounds perfect and the vocal-mix is a pure eargasm. Also love<br />
the audio-samples at the beginning/end of each side of the record – cool 90s analogy.<br />
Favorite Track: Death Atlas. Simply mesmerizing. Fast and heavy metal riffage with a melodic refrain and an atmospheric ending you just wanna fall into that endless sleep to. <br />
<br />
The number two, which actually was my number one for the longest time of the year:<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<a href="https://king-apathy.bandcamp.com/album/wounds">King Apathy – Wounds</a> - their farewell LP with a rating of 97%<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6i1gSd_ewwe0hn7WltO5s5N2sb_dEIPITE01VP2Z2TlANGTrngoiDKXKRpOh3FnvyH3-cz0ULK8BuXWZEUcy8STmbCvLIixGs1jirZ2mz_IDLKJGJ6BaDELzdzoB6GClHVzWwkKVKln3j/s1600/a3127432325_10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6i1gSd_ewwe0hn7WltO5s5N2sb_dEIPITE01VP2Z2TlANGTrngoiDKXKRpOh3FnvyH3-cz0ULK8BuXWZEUcy8STmbCvLIixGs1jirZ2mz_IDLKJGJ6BaDELzdzoB6GClHVzWwkKVKln3j/s320/a3127432325_10.jpg" /></a><br />
So, we got a nice vinyl (fancy colored options), a cool label (Lifeforce Records) and an<br />
awesome Artwork – really love the style and the imagery. Plus points for an inlay with a lot of<br />
thoughtfull extra writings/infos about what the band stands for and what this album is about,<br />
but a minus point, that for the outstanding album it is, it's only a thin standard jacket…<br />
would’ve loved a nice gatefold with an actual booklet or something! Still a solid 5 though.<br />
Musically, we have really atmospheric (post-)black metal that builds itself up slowly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just to fully discharge into pure, raw emotions, while still maintaining it's own character.<br />
This record has it all – calm clean guitar parts with beautiful melodies, doomy atmospheric parts<br />
to just dive into and fast black metal shredding with emotionally charged screams…<br />
BUT (complaining on the highest level here) it feels like some song structures are re-occurring, couldn’t really distinguish half the songs at a first listen; and the singer – although I really like his style and what he’s doing – has very little variation in what he is doing (which some folks even<br />
seem to prefer though, so it's not necessarily a minus point for everyone). <br />
Lyrics are superb – best I have read in ages. Of course the vegan/nature thematic is especially appealing to me, but even if you try to leave that aside, they’re still very well written and some phrases like “extinction is not death, it’s the end of birth” are so deep and, when I first heard them, touched me on so many levels, I would even wanna get them tattooed! 6 points out of 5, man!<br />
Also I have a ton of respect for the guys behind the band, especially Matthias, who started this as<br />
a one-man project and is still the main song-writer. He’s so damn talented (also active in a bunch<br />
of other bands – check his discogs), plus someone I can actually relate to.<br />
<br />
Now for something completely different and even for me kinda suprising... number three:<br />
<a href="https://idlehandspdx.bandcamp.com/album/mana">Idle Hands - Mana</a> - their debut LP with an astonishing score of 94%<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfxL-_MVZgCKOyQEj0nlKXsmz47waypzVHuitgnUHDJlF6010Qh3XYKeGaemVoBHgsUCjzzj-qWylYRg3IqmSZAXyHbp3jWlJ1u331Qm7ztYVkA9Tdnw9gu6Wly3VOYDBtSKBHXOY52jj/s1600/a4123579682_10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfxL-_MVZgCKOyQEj0nlKXsmz47waypzVHuitgnUHDJlF6010Qh3XYKeGaemVoBHgsUCjzzj-qWylYRg3IqmSZAXyHbp3jWlJ1u331Qm7ztYVkA9Tdnw9gu6Wly3VOYDBtSKBHXOY52jj/s320/a4123579682_10.jpg" /></a><br />
Nice vinyl version, comes with booklet and poster, on a really cool label (Eisenwald Tonschmiede)<br />
Not my favorite artwork, but it fits the aesthetic. 5 points.<br />
Music is really refreshing – something completely new and different for me. Something to<br />
actually dance and sing along to, but also to contemplate about and just feel it… no idea if it's<br />
heavy metal or goth rock, also reminds me a bit on Woods Of Ypres though.<br />
Anyway, my favorite "not extreme metal" record for this year (and probably even longer).<br />
Fast and catchy song, hymns that get stuck in your head, doomy & emotional parts…<br />
this one definitely has it all! Could even be played on the radios I guess?<br />
But, it took me a 2nd listen to appreciate them tbh – it's way different to what I usually listen to –<br />
but fits the atmosphere and everything. Love them now – still think the deep singing could take<br />
parts with some screaming here and there, but that’s probably just the prejudiced me.<br />
Lyrics are a bit weird here and there – hope they’re not 100% serious – but mostly cool<br />
and fitting to the music (depressive goth rock meets fantastic heavy metal).<br />
Length is just Perfect – wanna listen on repeat all day! I still feel like the songs are not not all<br />
equally strong, but tunes like "Give Me To The Night" are damn earworms!<br />
Bandmembers and the whole aesthetic they're using looks like they're timetravellers from the 80's.<br />
I kind of don't get it why they choose to release on a black metal label, but along with the<br />
odd lyrics and the unique sound, this is definitely a plus point for me!<br />
It's nothing too difficult or funky, but well-written and exciting. Everything else is on point I guess.<br />

While this one is their debut<br />
bm album, their already was a full abum in 2017, which was completely ambient/dungeon-synth<br />
though... so don't get this confused when you're checking them out. But it's both great!<br />
So, for the review: unfortunately this one was only released on a CD (with a really good artwork),<br />
and although a tape version is also on it's way, this has to be accounted for as a minus point.<br />
Give me a nice vinyl pressing and I will more than gladly correct your score!<br />
Musically we have really well written melodic black metal with recurring rhythms and patterns<br />
(which in this case, for this kind of music, is a good thing though). Fast tremolo pickings,<br />
heavy riffings plus fantastic melodies accompanied by fierce, but precise drummings and a wall<br />
of atmospheric synths – sth to really dive into. Never gets boring – fast & heavy parts, as well as hooks that get stuck in your head and emotional/heartfelt interludes + piano and lots of different synthie effects - can't believe that this is/was all just one 20 yeart old dude! Fuck me!<br />
Vocals are good, fitting, distorted guttural shrieks – nothing over the top, the typical bm stuff.<br />
No Idea about the lyrics, couldn't yet find them, but Jake is a vegan leftist, so they better be good! <br />
Album maybe is a tad too long - you really need to let yourself in on this and give it the attention<br />
it deserves, so you gotta have time for this journey, otherwise it's pointless; or at least you<br />
won't have the ultimate experience of dreamy and emotional, songs like "Echoes Of Existence"<br />
or "Longing", which are simply beautiful but then directly next to those, there are also tracks<br />
like "Valiance", which make you feel like getting summoned directly onto the battlefield<br />
of a fierce Viking battle! It's all really well-written. Nothing progressive or over the top difficult,<br />
but it just fits. Wouldn’t want it any other way here. Also it's no major-label high-end production,<br />
but especially for black-metal, I couldn’t care less. A true hidden Gem I guess!<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br />
And to make the top 5 just as diverse as possible, here we have, next to a death metal, a metalcore,<br />
a goth-rock and a black metal album, a hardcore EP as well - place number five:<br />
<a href="https://cagedxvx.bandcamp.com/">Caged – Burning Rage Of A Dying Planet</a> - the phenomenal debut EP with a rating of 91%</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Only a 7” EP, but damn I love the Artwork and the layout - also was released on a rather cool label<br />
(Bound By Modern Age Records), so go and check them out!<br />
True 90’s Style Metalcore/metallic Hardcore – if you liked To Ashes, you’re gonna love this one!<br />
Starts off with a nice Maroon style melodic riff until Ivan’s distinctive vocals set in and catapult you back into the Purification era – serious militant vegan edge lyrics right in your face!<br />
The B-Side then sets a contrast and starts with a typical 90's hardcore chugg that invites to dance - music and variety on point - 5/5 bbma crosses. Lyrics are great – heartfelt, authentic and full of emotions. You can still hear that they're from Italy, but that also has it's own charm I think.<br />
All in all, maybe a bit too short, but perfect for a 7” debut. Now I’m hooked for the album!<br />
Don't you dare to disappoint me! Better bring that with you on the next tour!<br />
Super cool and interesting people that keep the scene alive. DIY Hardcore at it’s best.<br />
Nothing over the top fancy, but good old metallic hardcore like it’s supposed to sound + a really<br />
nice production (yeah, maybe it’s good to not pay homage to each and every detail of the 90s)<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Melodic Black Metal from Iceland. Very diverse and exciting. Kind of "black'n'roll" in some parts.<br />
Some songs/riffs are clearly stronger (or at least to my liking) than others, plus vocals could be<br />
a bit more diverse. But other than that, it's a really solid, atmospheric but still catchy album.<br />
Artwork and booklet are somewhat obscure. Production is top-notch. Vinyl is a bit quiet,<br />
but that's probably for the better - you can really dive into the different instruments and synthies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Didn't even knew the band before this, but I also like it much more than their previous stuff,<br />
so it's alright I guess. Don't know anything else about them, but it fits right in with Mgła,<br />
Cult Of Fire, Svartidauði, etc. - so check them out if you like that I guess.<br />

Same old Mgła, if you liked their previous albums, you will also like this one.<br />
But I don't really wanna talk much about them because of 2 things:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf4xhyKQAfQymFLLg6PfanNonYH2V6o9tAGxtG-XFb9zGzYImI9egxPk3JsOQw_jlj0if3Ypg0pblbEud-D2Z2ysfhmUKpXKZGm5ZUEiR3zCJpCNPQhP1t_AVLAuyDJb49ISqvCVteTcti/s1600/a0663928566_10.jpg"><br /></a>Their political views (mainly the singer and guitar player, who is but also the lyricist and main<br />
song-writer) are somewhat catchy/shady... I don't believe that they're full-on Nazis,<br />
they don't propagate any rightwing mindset or something, but I also can't justify his support<br />
in some other projects anymore; might be just unpolitical and stupid, but I rather try to seperate<br />
the art from the artist here (still a big minus point though). So, this one, plus that I don't have a vinyl copy yet - they just released it digital and now everything is slowly following up (with vinyl being the slowest) - are the main reasons why this is only place number 7. The music is fantastic and<br />
this could've been ranked so much higher if it weren't for the giant douche behind it.<br />

Solid melodic Black Metal from the States. Not sure if this EP can live up to their sublime<br />
full-length from 2017, which is still on constant rotation here, but nevertheless this is one of my favorite recent/current bands around. Also was released on one of the coolest RABM labels<br />
(Vendetta Records). Nice diy style screenprinted fold-cover and a one-sided 12" with a<br />
screenprinted b-side, which is kind of a waste, but also looks really cool!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Raw atmospheric black metal from germany and one of the best kept secrets in the scene I guess.<br />
Fantastic song-writing by a super cool dude (Chriss Dettmer - just google him),<br />
with maybe just a little too much love for the true 90s sound. Be sure to listen calmly and<br />
undisturbed at full-volume on a high-end stereo or really good headphones, or just don't.<br />
I still feel like Track 1 is the strongest and for me it really could've been a better mix/master, other than that it's a damn solid debut - it's almost like early Burzum, but with a decent guy behind it!<br />

And another bbma release - finish 90's style edge metal(core) done right.<br />
Unfortunately just a tape (but a cd version is coming soon). And I feel like the second half<br />
of this EP is somewhat stronger than the first half... songwriting, vocals - everything, idk.<br />
Anyway, one of the best demos I've heard in a while, so be sure to not miss out on them!<br />

<u><b>Top 10 (in no particular order): </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if it's only me and maybe I'm just getting a litle more selective whilst getting older,<br />
but I'm under the impression that there have been a whole lot of "good" releases this year,<br />
yet only a handful that really blew me away... still, let's see what actually stood out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and sorry for featuring so many of my own label releases again - but I guess that only shows<br />
how much I actually like those myself and that I always try to release and support my favorites,<br />
whenever I get the opportunity to do so)<br />

The new Panopticon Album - probably the hottest contender for the title, if I had to pick<br />
the one record of the year. Two hours of diverse, yet beautiful art by the mastermind A. Lunn.<br />
This record is divided into two parts - the first, which is really well written atmospheric black metal<br />
with (appalachian) folk elements, ranging from a bleak blasting to playful progressive riffs,<br />
breaking up by a sudden melodic acoustic part and atmospheric landscape sounds. Also the lyrics (from what I could understand) and samples are really good - they challenge you to think about<br />
your everyday habits and how we, as humans, tread our one earth and the nature around us.<br />
Therefore I understand "The Scars Of Man On The Once Nameless Wilderness" as a<br />
melancholic accusation. Inspired by "The Singing Wilderness" by Sigurd Olson.<br />
I instantly fell in live with this first part of this album, released on a stunning 2x12", accompanied<br />
by lots of pictures, art and some interesting readings, which complement the record perfectly.<br />
The 2nd part - I have to admit - although took me while to appreciate, as it is full on<br />
americane (folk/country), paired with bluegrass. It's still not that kind of music, which I can listen<br />
to every day on my way to work or sth, but I can embrace the beauty and craftsmanship that lies within it and I understand the composition of this album, as it is meant to be heard;<br />
and so should you! FFO: Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room, Falls Of Rauros, ...<br />

Definitely<i> </i>the most exciting and original debut EP I've heard in a while.<br />
Vegan Straight Edge themed Black Metal, mixed with some good old 90's Style Metalcore.<br />
Outstanding good lyrics, screamed with utmost emotion by one of the, in my opinion,<br />
best/most promising and diverse (at least to me) new vocalist in the game, accompanied by sometimes playful and sometimes relentlessly chugging, bleak but substantial riffs.<br />
The name "Gnapenstob" (actually "Gnadenstoß") is a really unique refference to an old<br />
The Crow comic, which makes the band only even more interesting in my book.<br />
These refferences can also be found throughout the 7" layout, as well as the band's merch.<br />
The undoubtably cool and creative indiviuduals behind this project are (or were) also active<br />
in bands like: Apothecarium, The Real Cost, Sympathy Beating, Cruelties, <span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3db11d62d891be"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">Shoujikina, ...<br />Furthermore, the band itself basically already started in 2011 under the name Yidak<br /> (and then later Gnapenstob) as a solo oldschool DSBM project from their guitar player (Tristen).</span></span><br />
But this new EP sounds far from anything they did before - I'd definitely keep an eye on them<br />
for 2k19 if I were you! FFO: early Underoath, Prayer For Cleansing, Undying, ...<br />

Number one surprise of the year<b>. </b>The<b> </b>new Immortal, with Demonaz (and Horgh) being the sole<br />
and only member(s) left. If you, like me, love Immortal, but thought that Abbath (his solo Album) was good, but not outstandingly great, give this one here a chance! If Immortal was a movie-series<br />
and we would be talking about the Blashyrkh Cinematic Universe, I would argue that this LP<br />
would be in no way a sequel, but rather a pre-(or actually inter-)quel and should be placed between<br />
Blizzard Beasts and At The Heart Of Winter. You have the same cold and distorted "vacuum" riffs,<br />
being torn open by tugging melodies from the depths of the abyss, like in Blizzard Beasts or even Battles In The North. But then you also have these chill atmospheric synth parts, being destroyed<br />
but the most evil and relentless axe (guitar), like in At The Heart Of Winter. Also the lyrics -<br />
just look at those song names - fit in perfectly. Sure, the vocals are different. But they are still<br />
very good and powerful, plus I actually appreciate the "fresh" change. So, check it out.<i><br /></i>The physical release offers some cool options, like the deluxe vinyl box version which also holds<br />
a nice slipmat, besides the CD, poster, patch, etc... and I think I have also seen a 12" picture disc<br />
version around, alongside all the different standart vinyl colors - so there should be something<br />
available for everyone - definitely on heavy rotation on my table! FFO: true oldschool Immortal<br />

The best EP of this year. Raw and energetic, melodic Vegan Straight Edge Metal.<br />
BoD is the solo project of Nolan Arthur, the guy behind HEAL Records, who also plays in<br />
The Cambodian Heat, xEradicatex & Eco-Defense League - he is basically the american pendant<br />
to me and Forward To Eden I guess... However, even if it wasn't for the awesome person behind it,<br />
this EP would still totally rule - scratchy solo guitars with beautiful harmonies, the mandatory chugg,<br />
and all this accompanied by a soulful, emotional high pitched scream - crymosh 2000 AD.<br />
If someone would've showed me this and told me "hey, check it out, this is a lost Undying demo",<br />
I probably wouldn't have doubt it! Also the lyrics are militant vegan stuff, so what else could you even ask for? The 7" copy comes in the most simple DIY way you could imagine. White, stamped<br />
center labels and a b/w fold-out cover. But it is produced as simple as possible, so that the majority<br />
of the proceeds can be donated to a good cause (animal- & earth-liberation). Pretty punk, huh?<br />
Check it out. Should be as interesting for old HL folks, as it is for new 90's revival kids.<br />

Have you ever wondered what a "Woods 6" would've sounded like (if it wasn't for Gold's death)?<br />
You might not have to worry anymore, because these guys might just have the answer for us!<br />
After an overwhelming debut LP in 2014 and a split record in 2015, the masters of blackened<br />
doom metal - at least I personally haven't heard anything near as good in this genre for a while -<br />
are finally back with a masterpiece of an album. Just like Woods Of Ypres during their prime (musically somewhere between Deppest Roots & The Green Album), they somehow manage to combine the best of Doom, Black & Gothic Metal, without loosing their own integrity/authenticity.<br />
The Album is carried by a depressive heaviness which sometimes is almost suffocating,<br />
but then suddenly other emotions are breaking through the surface and it feels just natural and relieving. This record has everything, from slow steamroller doom parts, underlaid with harmonic synths and orchestral sung/clean vocals, to fast, grim black metal riffs with a bleak high pitched screaming. The only penalty point for me: no vinyl version (yet)... not even tapes!<br />
Anyway, check it out digitally for now and then lets see what the future holds. This is definitely<br />
a record that can standt the test of time. FFO: Woods Of Ypres, (early) My Dying Bride, ...</div>

Do you also find yourself reminiscing the "good old 90's" from time to time and then, while listening<br />
to Maroon's "Antagonist" think about how all newer metalcore bands are mere blatant fakes?<br />
That doesn't have to be the case any longer - just listen to xEDENISGONEx instead!<br />
Even the cover looks like it could've been an early Maroon release + the logo/lettering is a fucking<br />
Earth Crisis rip-off! ...so you know what to expect, don't you? True to the core 90's Edgemetal!<br />
Starting the album off with a movie sample, and not just any, but a crucial one from the<br />
Berserk anime (100 ponus points for that already), is sure one way to win my heart (or in that case, make me sacrifice all other metalcore bands to the god hand). But this album doesn't stop here.<br />
Ferocious blast beats with powerful growls and bloodcurdling screams over tremolo picking guitars<br />
and dark, heavy chuggs. Anything other than the music (who is behind this project? do the lyrics<br />
even make sense? ...?) is kinda kept a secret - based on the quality (more songwriting and technique than the actual recording), I assume it's safe to say that we might already know some of the<br />
members from other bands though. FFO: Heaven Shall Burn, Arkangel, Day Of Suffering, ... <br />

Ancst never seem to disappoint. Blackened crust metal(core) with a message - lyrics about political and ecological matters, as well as personal and psychological stuff. Love metal, hate fascism!<br />
Ancst are easily one of the most active and productive bands in the genre, having released a<br />
full-length, a split EP & another EP this year alone - that's what other bands do in a lifetime - <br />
and all of them are equally great! Also they seem to be always on tour - at least I have again seen them play 2 times this year and I don't even go out that often. I really struggled with the decision of which record to put up here, but eventually just went with the LP, because it's the longest and also shows their musical transition the most. The new EP is still just as good and even looks a lot more amazing in my opinion (12" vinyl with a screenprinted b-side), and the split 7" - also the Depravation side - is definitely stunning as well (even thought about still adding that to the list because of Depravation, so be sure to check them out as well). So, the change/the signing to Lifeforce Records also (may it be coincidentally) came with a little transition in the music. I feel like they added more "modern" elements, more metalcore influences - which isn't necessarily a bad thing though,<br />
as it's still mostly black (crust) metal and appears as a natural evolution. Ancst started as a<br />
one-man project by "Tom Is The Bastard" (the guy behind Yehonala Tapes & Henry Fonda),<br />
but soon became something more with live members from bands like Afterlife Kids, Sinatra, ...<br />
The earlier stuff reminds me a lot of a faster take on Fall Of Efrafa, while the later stuff is more Heaven Shall Burn. I love both. Maybe except for the ambient synth stuff, which they also release under that name from time to time - beware of that if you're just checking them out ;-P <br />

The proof that a record really can grow on you. When this was released a few weeks/months back,<br />
I - being a huge Thrawsunblat fan and considering Metachthonia one of the best albums of 2016<br />
- actually was a little disappointed at first listen. It was simply far from what I had expected.<br />
Luckily I didn't kick it out of my rotation/playlist though, because at a 2nd (or 3rd) listen,<br />
I slowly began to accept and appreciate it for what it is - overwhelmingly great written folk<br />
black metal, but with 90% acoustic instruments and clean, sung vocals. It's a really interesting<br />
record on it's own - you have songs like "Green Man Of East Canada", which is damn catchy maritime folk music you would expect on a medieval market or folk festival - you could actually<br />
sing and dance to this (if you wanted to) - and then you also have songs like "Here I Am A Fortress",<br />
which make you think: isn't this just (really good) melodic black metal on acoustic guitars?<br />
It sure is a "different" record, which might not appeal to everyone, but I strongly suggest<br />
giving it a try (and maybe also a 2nd and a 3rd). FFO: Woods Of Ypres, Agalloch, Winterfylleth, ...<br />

Anyone else also thinks it's a shame that Green Rage only did that one 7" EP?<br />
Isn't the only thing we want more militat 90's style vegan straight edge chugga core?<br />
Our prayers have been answered: The Eco-Defense League is here to pick things up, where<br />
the notorious xLAIRx since left them for good (another band that is gone way too early).<br />
Also lyric- & ethic-wise you can't get it much butter than this + the physical release comes with<br />
a whole lot of info material (which is always a plus for me): the EDL serves not only as a music project, but a educational
gateway into the issues of environmental destruction and the radical
environmental movements worldwide. These songs are reflective of the
issues plaguing much of<br />
the world, causing harm to all life, be it
resource extraction, pollution, or government repression.<br />
This project
is non-profit, vegan, and advocates for total liberation and sustainable
practices...</div>

The EDL comprises members of bands like: Bring Our Demise & xEradicatex</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the Anti-Fascist Army or “AFA” itself, this designation has been an underground name utilized by Antifascist activists and revolutionaries, SHARP traditional skinheads and RASH skins - usually those members who might be characterized as anarchistic in nature and approach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For years the term has been used for what the FBI has termed a “sleeper cell” approach to individuals they designate as “terrorists” training in and for the long term and in a number of important ways, for an inevitable “activation” date in the future. This date when the "sleeper cell" activates is when their training and preparation culminate in actions that will have a greater impact than those that would have, could have, and often times were engaged in on the fly, impromptu, in the streets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The AFA title and track is an articulation of this phrase that was used in the underground by those training for such a time, such an inevitable movement, and such a militant reaction to our collective line in the sand being crossed by governmental fascists in office and Neo-Nazi fascists in the streets who have similarly been preparing for and orchestrating these unfolding events since their planning and inception in the late 1980s according to those who have defected from their ranks and joined ours - even betraying their former fascist brethren at the highest levels of some of these groups,<br />
once they had a change of heart and chose to live a life after hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The AFA "Manifesto" insert in the album was essentially the direct source of inspiration for the title track. We request that those who have read this text continue to keep it offline and spread it directly, face to face, person to trusted person, in the underground.</div>

<i>What are your goals and future plans as a band/music-project?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently finishing up our second 7” entitled “Sleeper Cell.” The lyrics to the songs on this follow-up album elaborate on the message and mission of the first release of "Anti-Fascist Army." This second release should be out in 2018, as was our first.<br />
There are currently additional tracks in the works for releases down the line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope in the future to collaborate with some groups that have inspired us either musically<br />
or ideologically and politically for split 7 inches perhaps, or other collaborations that have yet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be exactly determined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are some additional ideas for much bigger projects a little further down the line that must remain under wraps for the time being. Some of the ideas that we can allude to at the moment include intended projects with a larger number of vocalists trading off segments of tracks in the vein of<br />
Path of Resistance or Wu Tang Clan for that matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The focus of those projects and potential musicians involved are still being theorized and discussed. When this manifests, however, the intention is for the group to be called Sleeper Cell,<br />
like No Holds Barred's most recent album.</div>

<i>Reading the lyrics of the EP, it seems like you choose to portray a very militant path. Why is that so?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota in 2016 I realized something very important... For years I had worked with militant organizations and cells engaging in what many of us call “eco-defense” of some sort. Over the years I grew weary of how few joined our ranks and just how painfully small the number of those willing to dedicate and even sacrifice their lives or freedom for the sake of our Mother Earth was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then at Standing Rock I saw something else...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFn4_06PdeMOrm4-4jkE3lfR9kI_8asaiNoDB5IemiWloFcbqaal1R19UX1AeCbAbD3k4VySIy0VTOgGkqidaxrUCe_SwYU9sYQLLHNg_vQ6dhAA6v52QQolVIyoCPyS-S3C9B7TnEn3A1/s1600/40402790_525686237875188_610912952727371776_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="638" data-original-width="960" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFn4_06PdeMOrm4-4jkE3lfR9kI_8asaiNoDB5IemiWloFcbqaal1R19UX1AeCbAbD3k4VySIy0VTOgGkqidaxrUCe_SwYU9sYQLLHNg_vQ6dhAA6v52QQolVIyoCPyS-S3C9B7TnEn3A1/s320/40402790_525686237875188_610912952727371776_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw many people who previously had no activism or revolutionary background take a stand, endure abuse, arrest, brutality, and many engaged in sneaking off nightly at the camp to carry out DIRECT ACTION that was so common that signs were put up threatening lethal force if one even so much as scaled the fences to approach what Earth Crisis so eloquently phrased the “Yellow Death Machines.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I similarly saw many people disregard those signs, scale the fences and destroy the machines. In a short period of time, people with no background in this sort of activity were radicalized and revolutionized on a scale that would have seemed unbelievable to me before witnessing it first hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Security for the Oceti Sakowin main camp was stationed on Route 1806 and would try to prevent people from going out. The fear was that militant direct action would give the feds a reason to invade the camp. The elders of various communities similarly cautioned against bringing weapons onto the camp - which is something that very few militant revolutionaries on site actually complied with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On December 5th, with thousands of veterans from the U.S. military in attendance pledging to back us up if the brutality and repression of the State continued, the Obama Administration and Army Corps of Engineers announced that the Enbridge corporation that controlled the Dakota Access Pipeline could not go forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fireworks lit up the sky and that night was known as the conception night for many “NoDAPL babies” in tipis and yurts throughout the various camps. My whole family was there with me on that day, though I had been there throughout the protests and actions off and on. The energy was electrifying when the announcement came in. The sky lit up with fireworks. We truly had hope that our actions and sacrifices had made the difference that we needed to see in the world -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that Mother Earth itself required to restore the balance of the Natural Order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when Trump got into office, his first order of business only a month and a half later was to reverse this and allow the pipeline through. Social media algorithms were altered in the month following the election and it became impossible for those of us organization and - one might even say “propagandizing” for the movement - to get the word out about continued focused actions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today those encampments and many of the die-hard activists who remained there from the time<br />
JB set up her tipi until the last tipis were burned at Sacred Stone, have disseminated and disbursed<br />
to various other anti-pipeline camps and even to Flint, Michigan to fight for clean water for the community. But the algorithm changes induced by the pressures of and reaction to the new administration have proven to make it impossible to organize the way we did in 2016.<br />
Most have no idea that the struggle continues with many of the same people leading the charge<br />
as we had at Standing Rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of this led some of us to the inevitable conclusion that now is the time for even more militant courses of action to be taken: namely the assassination of those guilty parties directly responsible<br />
for destroying the eco-systems which we are all a part of. This must include but should not be limited to heads of corporations, as well as politicians setting these policies, gutting environmental regulations and kow towing to the true eco-terrorists: those huge industrial polluters which we<br />
have dedicated our lives to fighting, if not stopping.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Some of these lyrics seem to even draw influences from the Hardline-era, is that correct?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put simply: the term “Hardline” means “extreme.” As you might have noticed in the new track</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Total Liberation,” we mention the Eastern notion of the “Tao.” It is widely understood<br />
around the world that the notion of “Tao” indicates a balance of Yin and Yang energy<br />
in all aspects of the Natural Order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The concept of Yin and Yang describes how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the Natural Order, and how they even</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Chinese Nei Jia “internal” systems of Kung Fu the “Tao” is synonymous with the notion of “Taiji” or “Tai Chi” as it is often transliterated, which is another name for the Yin and Yang symbol so widely recognized in the world as an Eastern symbol of the balance of Nature itself. More to the point, the symbol itself is called the "Taiji" which is a term indicating balance and a character that is<br />
a synonym for the Tao itself - the Tao being what we might simply call "Nature"<br />
or the "Natural Order" in English.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now how does the notion of “Hardline” come in to play with all of this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNK-UBABQqACcH84vHeoaFjzFj14Wk5iirnZ5sWLUPnKQk3GwAwbmweOBxIP6JUMNCiifR7x_1AmR_RXc4L8AzQ8GCJ889_Z3oRERApF24-XrOVbuCKnkX0JTMaxVhNBVxrLlrU6w_y2e/s1600/hardline2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="350" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNK-UBABQqACcH84vHeoaFjzFj14Wk5iirnZ5sWLUPnKQk3GwAwbmweOBxIP6JUMNCiifR7x_1AmR_RXc4L8AzQ8GCJ889_Z3oRERApF24-XrOVbuCKnkX0JTMaxVhNBVxrLlrU6w_y2e/s320/hardline2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When there is an imbalance in society, in Nature, in any system, sometimes an immediate counterbalance in the extreme opposite direction is the reaction. Sometimes that extreme reaction causes people to lose their balance in the other direction. Sometimes it just helps them recalibrate back and forth to gradually rebalance little by little. Other times still it is just enough for some people to regain immediate equilibrium and sustain it. Either way, once equilibrium - balance - is regained and maintained, the need for an extreme or “hardline” counterbalance dissolves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hardline as a movement, like many movements focused on restoring the balance in a wayward society, took some extreme positions. Personally there are some of those positions that I do not agree with entirely, but I see why the Hardline movement reacted extremely in the direction that they did, even if I do not believe all of those positions to be balanced ones in some cases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take the two most contentious positions of the historical Hardline movement: abortion and sexuality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the issue of abortion, societies have engaged in methods of early term abortion that we might<br />
term more “natural” (without resorting to the philosophical fallacy of Appeal to Nature), that helped maintain not only the balance of those individual communities one was a part of, but also of<br />
the individual themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hardline historically accepted the reluctant validity of abortion when a mother’s life was jeopardized, but what if her over all health was? What if her mental health was? What if, forced to carry a baby to term, a mentally ill mother murdered her infant after giving birth? Is it really better to force a situation where a sentient infant or toddler is murdered rather than have a woman terminate a pregnancy early term before there is empirically demonstrable sentience? Is forcing her to be a mother and try to raise that child or to responsibly make the decision of whether to put the child up for adoption really something we should assume she is in a psychological position to do, when she has indicated to her community and her doctor or midwives that she is clearly not?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don’t think so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIo2pTNe4vEF6f108w41FHQ6G9-cFL6yqhNBGzlQDi7GX3JRbmw8K1AiDPrVwNWPK77nnZHdKUhBbAv8wB41t772Gm43mreh-_-G_iS_WXj45B-RFZYcdEo-kE8Z3jItXQoXsPM9kdkZ2s/s1600/scan0063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIo2pTNe4vEF6f108w41FHQ6G9-cFL6yqhNBGzlQDi7GX3JRbmw8K1AiDPrVwNWPK77nnZHdKUhBbAv8wB41t772Gm43mreh-_-G_iS_WXj45B-RFZYcdEo-kE8Z3jItXQoXsPM9kdkZ2s/s320/scan0063.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Similarly, in cases of rape and incest, carrying a fetus to term would not only in most cases psychologically harm the mother, but it could also physically harm her and perhaps perpetuate birth defects and congenital defects that would harm the child well into adulthood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In short, there are too many variables, too many factors for one to decide from the sidelines what is best for the woman simply because she has a fertilized ovum. To go one step beyond that and claim that the government should be involved in that complicated and very subjective PERSONAL decision-making process is nothing short of proposing that violence of the State itself be used to enforce a philosophical position that must be grappled with and determined on a case-by-case basis and by the individual carrying the gestating child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for sexuality, the historical Hardline movement focused on the Taoist notions of Yin and Yang balance in sexuality, but in practice, many of the heterosexual relationships that individual Hardliners engaged in were anything but balanced. As well, the notion that Yin always manifests as extreme Yin in a normatively effeminate “female” gender role, or Yang always as extreme Yang in a normatively macho “male” gender role is belied by not only casual observation, but also by science.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In homosexual couples, whether male or female, we see a common tendency for Yin and Yang coupling to manifest in pairing between homosexual partners just the same as we do in heterosexual ones. Nature maintains the balance more often than not in coupling - whether heterosexual<br />
or homosexual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Appeals to ideas that male homosexuality is the result of Yang deficiency - a view that at one point became commonly expressed in some Hardline circles - are also contradicted by numerous studies indicating that male bisexuality is typified by higher than normal levels of testosterone. This in fact accounts for why we see the aggressiveness and need for defensive fight or flight response in male prisons, result in elevated testosterone or "yang" energy, and thus in widespread bisexual behaviors and desires that are commonly carried on by the individuals even after release from imprisonment. It is why many extremely "Yang" male athletes are known "on the down low" to engage in bisexual behavior, even while conditioned to not publicly talk about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These issues are not opened up about by many of the men who could provide the most insight into them, particularly because of the homophobia in many lower income communities. Still, there have been numerous studies conducted on this subject and the science is conclusive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the way I look at it, homophobia too is a reaction - an extreme reaction of struggling communities to try to preserve reproduction the same way that we find birth rates go up areas where there is poverty, even though we would think of this as counterintuitive. Racist politicians and pundits blame these elevated birth rates on lack of education or ignorance, but the reality is that birth rates actually decrease as we climb out of poverty. In states of diminished resources, ape societies - including those of the homo sapien sapien ape - will tend to be very heterosexual. We see this with chimps who also find it necessary from their perspective to engage in limited meat consumption. But in regions of plentifulness and abundance we see the nearly identical bonobo apes - our other closest primate relative - engaged in a completely herbivorous diet and social bisexuality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neither meat eating nor homophobia should be the desired take-away from this. Rather, we should understand that both emerge in the societies of our closet ape relatives when resources appear to be threatened. As we provide for the needs of human societies, we thus afford them the opportunities to sociologically evolve on these issues, rather than assuming we can just judge and aggressively prove and prod them into enlightenment without improving their situations or alleviating their suffering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is thus very easy for some to judge from more middle class or affluent communities those lower income communities and musical art forms like hip hop in the inner city or regions like Jamaica where homophobia as a theme in the works of many reggae musicians is quite normal. But the reality is that this unbalanced, extreme reaction to poverty and limited resources is part of the process too. It is up to us to help balance those attitudes, to help them evolve, not to accept them just because they happen to be a reaction, and not to judge those communities by the standards we see white liberals often holding their own communities and socio-economic segments of society to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, returning to the notion of the “Tao” that was so emphasized in stages of the historical Hardline movement, in Taoist sexual practice and Inner Door teachings, there are many sexual practices and methods of hormone development and training that would be seen by outsiders as nothing short of bizarre. Even among those typically seeing themselves as heterosexual, Taoist prostate massage is not only common, but widely recommended for various methods of energy cultivation associated with Taoist meditation. The idea the homosexuality was or is foreign to<br />
Taoist sexual practice or disciplines is simply incorrect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Yin and Yang coupling between heterosexual or homosexual partners is the tendency in relationships and Nature itself, there are Taoist sexual practices that cannot be dismissed as anything other than very masculine homosexuality for the purpose of giving rise to extreme Yang energy, resulting in what we could scientifically quantify in the West as heightened testosterone production. Even on a microscopic level, we see that sperm from two heteronormative males will fight one another - as an old Hardline publication made note of - but from the perspective of these practices, that energy of conflict between Yang-on-Yang forces can be harnessed to amplify and cultivate masculine hormone production, and thus life-extension and health in an internal parallel to the testosterone replacement therapy so common in Western medicine these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Beyond that, there is the issue of trans and non-binary identity which is another vast historical and sociological topic - also interrelated as an LGBT rights issue - which Hardline reacted against in a way that I believe warrants critique. Various Native American communities were characterized by rigid gender roles and even homophobia, but many others accepted non-binary and trans gender roles and identities. Literally dozens of North American indigenous communities had at least one other gender identity besides male or female - many with five in total.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the East, trans gender identities were so common that they often were glossed over in ancient works of history and religion as a given. In many cases we see religions that are commonly associate with transphobia and homophobia, laying down jurisprudential rulings accepting trans gender identities. Biblically, the notion of a “eunuch” - historically speaking - was not generally some poor soldier who had his genitals shorn to ensure he didn’t engage in sex with a ruler’s harem. Instead, this was usually someone who was what we would today call trans. In the regions of India and Pakistan these non-binary identities were and in some cases remain common. The idea that traditional societies abhorred or rejected trans individuals and identities as anathema to Nature is simply not true. As such, though I do understand where the Hardline movement was coming from, I believe it’s reaction to these issues of human sexuality and abortion were not fully informed and required further research.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The underlying theme and overarching principle of Hardline, however - one of returning to a state of harmony with the Natural Order - is one that appealed and appeals to me, as it seems to have with many in the hardcore scene. The influence this movement had on vegan straightedge, veganism and militant eco-defense groups and scenes should not be ignored just because one holds a different stance on these aforementioned issues.</div>

There is no more time to waste. If you feel moved to action, now is the time to act.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The era of preparation and training has long passed, so if you are new to the game, you need to get in it and get your hands dirty now, but also start diving right in to serious training concurrently, so that each action proves more successful and of greater impact than the one before it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether your initial focus is eco-defense or anti-fascist revolutionary action (in reality these are both intersectionally connected) you need to begin regular training in martial arts and firearms weapons craft and tactics. No doubt, it would have been better if you could have began when many of us did - preparing in the 90s or even before - but as the saying goes, it is "better late than never."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get involved. Get your hands dirty. Make a change and stop holding on to the pipedream that somehow if you live a safe and cautious life, death will not come for you. Death comes for us all, and the Earth will be here long after all of us are gone. It is better to die a courageous death with honor than to live a slightly longer life as a coward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paradoxically, I have found in my experiences that when one is engaged in actions of any sort - whether direct action or simply a fight with a single adversary before you - it is only when we let go of our attachment to not getting hit, not getting cut, not getting caught, not getting shot, not getting locked up, not getting killed, that we seem to absorb into the very stream of LIFE itself, into the FLOW of Nature, and swim with the currents that seem to be sweeping others away as they<br />
fight against them.</div>

By letting go of our terrified attachment to this life,<br />
we ironically have a greater likelihood of truly living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time to stop TALKING about Revolution and start LIVING it.</div>

and if possible release my own favorite bands whenever I get the opportunity!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i>The return of the true 90's Metalcore<i> </i>sound in '17. Emotional high-pitched screams,<br />
combined with relentlessly thrashing riffs and blasts, occasionally breaken up by a melodic<br />
clean singing and an expressive melody - no re-invention of the wheel or something,<br />
but a perfect continuation of bands like From The Dying Sky or Morning Again...<br />
I would've loved to see them on tour with Repentance, which was my number one band/album<br />
of last year, but unfortunately, due to their (Repentance's) break up, that won't happen anymore...<br />
To my ear, even though (unfortunately) not lyrically, they sound pretty much alike in some parts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, they (FFD) also share members with Witness The Fall, which was my number one band/album of '15 - so we might be able to catch these two together sometime!<br />
Interesting Side-Fact: FFD was founded in '97 but kind of went on hiatus in early - mid 2000,<br />
with members continuing/wandering off into other bands like Witness The Fall, Drain-Life,<br />
The Darkest Red, etc. Just to get back together in '15 and picking things up exactly where they<br />
left them. This new EP was released on 12" vinyl with some old stuff on the B-Side.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The METAL side of 90's 'core. Hailing from Florida, with Members of Blistered,<br />
these guys are here to bring back the divebombs and chugs into the metal scene!<br />
...or the high solo guitars and heavy headbangs into the hardcore scene?<br />
Imagine Undying meets Prayer For Cleansing on Miami Beach...<br />
Harmonising melodies and thrashing tremolo picking. Thrilling "dance parts"<br />
and destructive blastbeats. Everything goes hand in hand on this record.<br />
This debut LP, following an overwhelming Demo EP, is now available on 12" vinyl.<br />

Simply continuing where the LP, which I also had the honor of releasing last year,<br />
left off, this new EP delivers just as much killer 00's metalcore hymns a la Killswitch Engage,<br />
suddenly breaken up by breakdowns hitting harder than a sledgehammer in the face<br />
and also beautiful melodies and compositions a la Poison The Well.<br />
The vocals on this EP range from high pitched screeching to a guttural growling,<br />
with the refreshing addition of female singing. This EP tries to explore some new ways<br />
and to my understanding, it works! Really leaves me hooked for more!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The (unfortunate) last output of an by the time already defunct band...<br />
Virtually the dying breath of the Italian vegan straight edge scene - but only to be reborn again!<br />
Harsh and militant metallic hardcore that involuntarily lets you think of bands like<br />
Purification or Reprisal, while also throwing in some Slayer here and there.<br />
A perfect example of what hardcore music, played by metalheads can sound like!<br />
And as if the completely overwhelming music wasnt enough, this EP also comes with<br />
lyrics which, at least for me, totally speak from the heart. Now available on a small,<br />
exclusive run of 7"s, of which all profits are donated to animal liberation cause.<br />

Uncontested demo of the year. Only minus point: too short.<br />
90's metalcore meets emocore with militant as fuck vegan straight edge lyrics<br />
...a crymosh for the animals! By (ex-)members of The Cambodian Heat and xEradicatex.<br />
Flawless tremolo picking combined with a high pitched screaming a la Prayer For Cleansing.<br />
Bonus coolness: everything they do is 100% non-profit/gets donated to animal liberation causes.<br />
FFO: Undying, Unearth & Nightingales / Caring, Liberation & Walter Bond.<br />

Paying just as much tribute to the old edgemetal and H8000 scene as to the more recent<br />
metalcore outfits like Canaan or even Repentance - are they to carry the torch? Time will tell<br />
and this first demo release, which already sounds superb, definitely lets us hope for more.<br />
Probably one of the hardest demo's I've heard in a while - hugs and chugs, the liberation mosh.<br />

A new melodic black metal project, risen from the ashes of Agalloch.<br />
Darker and heavier, more raw in my opinion, but still unique and distinctively John Haughm.<br />
Typical blast songs with high pitched screaming, which remind of Darkthrone<br />
or even Immortal, giving turns with quieter melodies and even the occasional use of<br />
sung/clean vocals, which on the other hand totally remind of Agalloch or Fen.<br />
FFO: "good" black metal that doesn't sound like it's been recorded in a tin.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
H8000 death metal, alive and kickin'! Following a great LP, which managed<br />
to flawlessly combine the best of hardcore and death metal, an EP which<br />
to my understanding goes even harder and draws more influences from the dark,<br />
or even black metal scene. Two guitars, two singers (shouters) and a drummer<br />
who can also count for two people though... imagine Path Of Resistance, being fronted by<br />
the guys from Deformity and Legion. Hard as fuck. Give horns in the mosh-pit!<br />

Probably my all-time favorite crust-punk/blackened hardcore/post-black metal band.<br />
First delivering a heavy hitting 12" EP themselves, which shows the further development<br />
of the band itself - now, for the first time, with an actual drummer, but not any less fast<br />
and on point. Also the song structure, to my understanding, is on this one even more "clean"<br />
and technical to my understanding. Less noisy and more easy to get into I guess...<br />
does that even make sense? Even reminds me of Heaven Shall Burn in some parts!<br />
However, I really like it; just as the Split EP with the awesome King Apathy<br />
(ex-Thränenkind) which features one new song of each band & a cover song from the other.<br />
King Apathy deliver it with their own mixture of vegan straight edge metalcore<br />
and blackened hardcore/crust metal. Both 100% recommendable.<br />

Not only marks this the birth of a new vegan straight edge metallic hardcore band,<br />
but as well the rebirth of the vegan straight edge label catalyst records.<br />
So, what else can you ask for and how could I even not like it?<br />
Despite these obvious facts, this EP is really good itself as well.<br />
Typical 90's worship with a touch of modern hardcore. Reminds me of something like<br />
Earth Crisis, meets Trial, meets Birthright - with partly personal and emotional lyrics.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
After years of searching I finally got my hands on this here - my holy grail<br />in form of a 90's metalcore music release (even in physical form)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who don't know me: Caliban is THE band that got me into listening to heavier music<br />at the age of 12/13, it was my first metal concert and still remains one of my all-time favorite bands.<br />After I heard of this record for the first time, I kind of turned the whole internet upside down<br />in the search for this record - unfortunately I never found it.<br />I wrote the bandmembers directly and all the old people that have been around back then<br />(unfortunately I was only 6 yo in '97) but none of them seemed to have a copy of that tape<br />and never seemed anyone to have digitalized it...<br />However, now I finally got my hands on a copy (through the <a href="http://preservingsilence.limitedrun.com/">Preserving Silence Distro</a> - I highly recommend checking it out in case you're looking for some old obscure stuff) and did it myself :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I was still curious what the band members remember from that time and if they could<br />perhaps give us some more intel... see for yourself (short-interview with Marc Görtz):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1997 - been a while - anything particular you remember from that time, you wanna tell us about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Good question, but we had the band for a bit already, just renamed it at this point... but besides that<br />I don't recall much from that particular time. We just started playing pretty many shows.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, lets start with the details (as far as you can recall them): How many Tapes were made? Was it properly released, like with a release-show and stuff? Are these the only "Never Again" songs?<br />How many shows have you played under that name? Was there ever any Never Again merch?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sorry I have no idea how many we made. I guess around 150-200. We just sold them on shows.<br />There was no release show or anything like that. Yea we had some more, but never released them.<br />At least not in those versions.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Was Never Again a "vegan straight edge band"? Why has it changed?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We were never a "Vegan Band" we had vegans and vegetarians. But didn't call ourselfs vegan band. As far as I remember our bass player at that time was not vegetarian ... but I'm not sure.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the main reason for the name-change (to caliban)<br />and what happened to the 2nd singer? What else has changed since "caliban"?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I never had any contact since to this second singer. So no idea.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What changed? We learned how to use our instruments better I would say hahaha </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'm pretty sure our first shows sucked pretty much. But people enjoyed it anyways<br />because it was already pretty heavy :-P</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, yeah, I guess anything else just fell into obilivion... <br />but at least now you can finally listen the shit out of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

and earth liberation and perform my songs live. My live performances are similar to how<br />
hip-hop artists perform their music. I backtrack the music and do vocals.</div>

<i><i>What is Bring Our Demise about? What's the drive behind it?</i></i></div>
<i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
</i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The purpose of Bring Our Demise is to shed light about the injustices that exist in our world<br />
and ways to possibly combat them. The goal is to educate people about the suffering of animals, humans, and mother earth through music and spoken word. Another goal is to donate 100%<br />
of profits from merchandise sales to people/organizations that are making a difference in our world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you achieved so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My achievements so far are small. I’ve raised a small amount of money through t-shirt sales<br />
for animal rescues and sanctuaries. I hope once I hit the road and begin performing live,<br />
I’ll be able to spread some knowledge and hopefully raise some more money.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What do you do besides BoD? Any other "band"/cool hobbies you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Outside of Bring Our Demise, I play in a band called The Cambodian Heat and have a new band<br />
in the works with my friend Kylee. I also run a small cassette label called Coercion Cassettes<br />
and started a non-profit record label called HEAL(Human|Earth|Animal Liberation) Records.<br />
It’s a new endeavor of mine. 100% of profits will be donated to good causes. Outside of music,<br />
I enjoy cooking. I’m vegan and I love pushing my cooking skills. I skateboard in my free time.<br />
I also enjoy hanging out with my dog Lacee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Thanks a lot - feel free to add some shoutouts!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to give a shout out to Tim BBMA for releasing my demo and donating the profits to my<br />
local animal sanctuary Sasha Farm, my friend Kylee, my skate crew BK Boyz and my<br />
local skateshop Revival, and anyone who practices and believes in total liberation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Side note: I challenge all vegan straight edge bands/people to practice what they preach.<br />
Educate people, raise money and donate it (there’s no money in music anyways.<br />
What’s the point of holding on to what little profits you make?), organize with larger groups<br />
of like-minded people (not just your music scene friends), and do what you believe is right<br />
in your heart to push the idea of total liberation. Finally, if you see any form of injustice, act.<br />
Don’t just stand there and let shitty things happen to people, animals, or our planet.</div>

"Not so bad hardcore" since '14.<br />
DIY metallic oldschool hardcore from Berlin. Their Members are a motley bunch from all around<br />
the globe, with just as different roots though. FFO: Metal, Hardcore & everything inbetween.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
I had the honour of releasing their S/T EP on Tape in mid '16 and also<br />
their Split 7" w/ No End In Sight in early '17. I highly recommend both ;-)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band? </i><br />
<br />
Hello, my name is Mike and I am the screamer/dancer. <br />
<br />
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning? </i><br />
<br />
We pride ourselves on not really getting better to be honest,<br />
most bands that evolve just end up playing EDM and fighting online with their fans.<br />
I would definitely say that we are better at what we do, live and in recording. Yes.<br />
I think I mentioned this before but one of my favourite things about being in this band is<br />
the learning curve. I now know more about writing, recording and distributing music<br />
than I did three years ago. We’re still totally clueless but I like embracing the fact that<br />
we (I) are a spectacular mess 98% of the time.<br />
<i><br />What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future? </i><br />
<br />
We have accomplished not killing each other<br />
and our main goal is to not die before we record an actual album! <br />
<i><br />Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about? </i><br />
<br />
Yes we are finally finishing our second EP at the moment, which will be four br00tal songs<br />
about the usual pathetic subjects that piss me off. Mark My Words Records are going<br />
to put out the CD this summer and then we would like to release it on 7” later this year.<br />
We have been playing some of the songs for over a year now so it will be nice to finally<br />
have them released. They are all basically the same as our other songs except that<br />
when it’s heavy it is HEAVY and the melodic stuff is more, well… melodic? Yes.<br />
I guess we should really write a full length record while we have some spare time coming up<br />
until the Autumn. We are currently booking a tour in October with our pals in Bomb Out<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">,</a><br />
if any of us lives through that it will be a small miracle. <br />
<br />
<i>How do you feel about bbma as a label? </i><br />
<i>In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future?</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br />
I have very strong feelings about BBMA in general! Tim is such a wicked dude</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
and has treated us super well since we were first introduced by a mutual friend.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
We’re not straight edge (but love tons of bands that are) so that’s extra nice that we were welcomed<br />
to the label. It proves that there is still some inclusivity within the hardcore scene.<br />
Being in a DIY band can be a struggle so having that support has really helped us. <br />
Also, please reference Neon Genesis Evangelion more. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you and what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m the second (or first, doesn’t matter) guitarist in the band.<br />
I also deal with the recording process of all our music. <i>(Delio)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Is WAAR your first band-project? What about the other members?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, I used to play in an Industrial Metal band before, called Cybercage.<br />
Luca, our bassist, used to play in Absence (XVX band from Turin) and As Humanity Fades.<br />
Afshin was the voice of various bands such as L’Odio and OhxCristo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What is WAAR about? Any kind of message you want to spread?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We believe in the total collapse of all the powers that make every human being a slave,<br />
from the very moment you are born 'till you die. We believe in the destruction of all the systems<br />
that enslave us through imposition and violence. We believe in the fall of everything the virus<br />
called "man" has created, constantly raping Mother Earth. To burn everything down<br />
and see something new rising from the ashes: this is WHEN ASHES ARE RISING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you achieved so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are a relatively young band so we still have lots to achieve.<br />
However, we were fortunate enough to share the stage with bands we admire, Strength Approach<br />
and Traces of You among all. Our main goal right now is to play our music overseas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>So, when will you tour europe, that we can see you live?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully soon! :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanna thank you Tim for this interview and for supporting us!<br />
The passion you put in what you do is contagious. You know it’s not just music,<br />
but most of all, it’s a strong social and political message, and we agree with that!</div>

Two oldschool vegan straight edge brothers (Diego & Roberto) who currently live in Berlin<br />
and Barcelona, are trying to get their (veggie) Parents, which currently live in Uruguay,<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started 2 years ago and now we have raised the money for the flight tickets,<br />
so the next step is to cover the heavy bureaucracy/ and the lawyer to help us to have them<br />
legal when they come here. The campaign evolved slow, but firm as we like to say,<br />
we are looking forward to see them here when we want and not when we can!<br />
<div>
So now we need to sell the things we have such as prints (designed from tattoo artitsts.<br />
friends of us) and tote bags to raise the money we need.</div>

We continue walking forward with our campaign, and with<br /> the help of good friends like you, because we are normal workers and we don't have enough money and resources to make it us, alone. That´s the main reason we started to run the campaign, cause coming from a country in the so called third world sometimes is more that you can imagine, if you been born and raised here it´s not easy to understand that low income/ poor people it´s not only in<br /> the news as only fiction movie, it´s also true.
If someone need or want some pictures of where my parents live i can send it, not because we live here means we have all the solutions, that´s the reason we need you that read tis interview, we need your support! we have many nice things to sell!</span></span></span></span></div>

Primal Age is OG Vegan Straight Edge 90’s Metalcore from France.<br />The band was founded in 1995 (released their first Album in '97), became Absone in 1999,<br />just to became Primal Age again in 2006 and remains active under that name until today.<br />...still vegan, still straight edge, still shredding that 90’s Metal(core) sound.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my first releases (3 years ago), was the (now sold out) compilation/best of tape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"My Legacy / Eternal Struggle - The Best Of 17 Years XVX 90's Metalcore" which held<br />some of their (to my mind) best tracks from the very begining to where they where then...<br />And now, in 2017 I just had the honor to work with them again and do the vinyl version<br />of their most recent EP "A Silent Wound" (which you can now - only for one week -<br />get on discount from the BBMA webstore). Check them out!</div>

<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm xDimitrix, I play bass, do some backing vocals and also write the lyrics for PxA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we've succeeded in keeping the identity of our sound without doing the same<br />records always and always again. We started 22 years ago with the energy and fury of a<br />young edge metal band, and it's still the same passion and hapiness to have the opportunity<br />to keep this adventure alive. We feel proud to stay after all these years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PxA has 2 full albums, 1 split album with the japanese band Cherish and the argentinian guys<br />of xMostomaltax. 2 EP's, 12 crossed countrys with a mexican tour, one in Japan and one in Brasil, more than 300 shows. We're still hungry and want to see more, meeting great people with<br />different cultures and playing the music we deeply feel. Our favorite topics are the same since<br />the beginning: the defense of Earth and all the living creatures you find on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our latest EP called "A Silent Wound" is just out, so we'll keep our time before doing another<br />(as we've always done). We plan shows to defend it, maybe far from home to keep that at memory<br />for our old days. Your label BBMA offers us a vinyl version and the indonesian label<br />Diorama Records another one on tape (out soon).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How do you feel about bbma as a label?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've the chance of making a vinyl version because of you, so... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Tim for your assistance and the support in this project. <br />We wish you all the success in what you do.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Experience is the key, we all do some mistakes, the most important thing is to learn from<br />these shity things to get better. Less dispersal to keep your energy focused on one goal at the time. Work according to your ways and means, passion will make the rest.</div>

Kind of an hardcore allstars-super-group with members of bands like: Anchor, Jesus Wept, xDisciplex AD, Brother’s Keeper, Prayer For A Fallen Angel, The A.K.A.s, Empty Promises,<br />
Smoke & Mirrors, Abnegation, Run Devil Run, Phases and probably a couple more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the honour of releasing their "the first four winters" compilation tape back in early '16.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really recommend checking them out. FFO: Sick Of It All, xDisciplex AD, Madball, ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Eric Michael Schauffele aka EMS and I sing for Human Animal.<br />
I bless these other 3 turds with my golden voice which is that of the angels above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My other duties include complaining, worrying, over thinking, and procrastinating writing lyrics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like our newer songs are hitting harder than ever and we’re finding our groove.<br />
Every time we write a new one I’m thinking “Yeah that’s the shit I’m looking for.”<br />
We’ve shortened a lot of the new stuff and also there’s less guitar solos since Nate has moved<br />
away and left the band. Our bassist Ryan “Baby Boi” Zimmerman really stepped up and has written<br />
a lot of new jams for our upcoming stuff that really brought a welcomed new element.<br />
As of lately we really haven’t played many shows in order to focus on writing which has taken<br />
a bit of time, but hopefully that will all pay off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We’ve dropped numerous EPs on a bunch of different labels coast to coast across the US<br />
and were blessed with two releases coming out of Germany as well, so that to me is super exciting.<br />
We’ve played with a ton of amazing bands in the US that like to ask to borrow our gear after they<br />
didn’t even check us out so we got that going for us! But seriously we’ve been very fortunate in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our opportunities so far. I would definitely enjoy playing out more often but it’s tough these days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you’re not part of a tour package or pay to be on one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a month from now we’re playing our first home town show in a long time which is in Erie, PA with Terror, God’s Hate, & Steel Nation so that is super exciting and we really look forward to<br />
that show. I’m currently trying to lose 10 pounds before then so I don’t die on stage that night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the nachos I just ate at 1:00am might beg to differ. As far as releases we’ve got 10-11 new songs written musically and half of them have lyrics. So the next step is a full length CD/LP on a yet to be determined record label. We record all of our own material and we’ve done some pre-production<br />
but we really gotta get this thing brewing sooner than later. It will be a huge sigh of relief<br />
once that’s finished. I’m pumped to have people hear this new stuff. It’s got a nice vibe to it<br />
and so far a lot of the songs are all different from each other. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh man what kinda crack are you smoking? You helped us out a ton.<br />
We were pumped to drop something on BBMA and I think it turned out awesome.<br />
It’s harder for us to tell how the label operates with us being all of the way over here<br />
but you guys have done some righteous releases. Not to mention you post photos of you shirtless, flexing, or lifting weights, sometimes in a ski mask. How can you go wrong!?!<br />
We prefer to work with lunatics as we feel right at home with them. I personally know<br />
how hard running a label is as I did one for years (Surprise Attack Records aka SA Mob).<br />
DIY hardcore is a thankless money pit that for some reason we all keep doing! </div>

Special thanx to Tim / BBMA, Danny / Holy Mountain, Panda Claw Records,<br />
Marcel / Demons Run Amok, Matt Yocum / Down For Anything, the guys in Head 2 Wall Records, Wreckage, & Additional Time, for all believing in us and giving us a chance.<br />
Much love to everyone who checks us out online or live, and my favorite,<br />
much love to those who get up front and scream along. Respect.</div>

Melodic, yet metallic oldschool hardcore from the Netherlands (by ex-members of Lies!)<br />After the well accepted release of their demo I now also had the opportunity to release their<br />debut full-length on tape as well. If you didn't had the chance yet, be sure to check it out now!</div>

<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi my name is Sander and I do vocals.<br />Besides that I write all the music for NITL, so the band is kind of my baby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the beginning we added 2 friends on guitar and I switched from guitar to vocals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Musically the direction was pretty clear from the beginning, but NITL will never write the<br />same album twice. So there will always be certain aspects that make NITL sound like NITL.<br />But at the same time things do evolve. I think our demo already showed that there’s a lot of<br />diversity between and within songs. On our debut album “Vultures” I think we showed<br />a wide variety of influences and tried to make this come together and fit.<br />The goal for a next release is to really create more of a signature sound/style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you accomplished and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We released a full length album last year and played a couple of really cool show,<br />in Holland but also abroad. More people start to know we exist. We all have jobs,<br />have a mortgage and some of us have kids. So we’re not in the position to put as much time into<br />the band as we would like. But with the time we have we try to accomplish as much as possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My personal goals for the future are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-have fun with my friends (absolute number one)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-create and play music that makes my heart beat faster</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-play cool shows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We play our hometown Groningen next week <i>[this is a bit outdated - I'm afraid - my fault]</i> and got some other things going. I’m busy writing new songs and we started<br /> rehearsing a few of them. I’m really exited about the new stuff and hope that we can<br />start recording asap, hopefully somewhere in 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How do you feel about bbma as a label?<br />In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a lot of respect for people who put their time, energy and money into supporting<br />bands they enjoy. I like bbma’s enthousiasme and how easy Tim is approachable.<br />Communication has always been easy and every promise is kept, so that’s really cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I personally don’t understand is why a lot of smaller DIY labels do so many<br />releases every year, in stead of doing a few and promoting the hell out of them. <br />But I guess having a bigger catalogue is also a cool achievement<br />and being able to support more bands you love counts for something. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>[The main reason why I release "so many" things each year is, that I always feel bad<br />when I have to decline a submission (of which I actually like)... and so I just do it :P]</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Shoutouts</i></div>

from bands like: Never Enough, Pulling Teeth, Ten Yard Fight, Backlash, The Dead Unknown, …</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Melodic 90's Style Metalcore from the Netherlands.<br />
Been around for quite a while now (read for yourself a bit further down)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also were the first Band on this label, my good friends and probably my<br />
favorite Metalcore Band around - Witness The Fall. Check them out, now!<br />
FFO: Skycamefalling, Poison The Well, Morning Again, ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> <i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Hey Tim, I'm Aron From Witness the fall, doing vocals in the band.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
In the early days (before 2000) Witness the fall was called Tresore,<br />
the only remaining member in the band from that era is Rik, our drummer.<br />
If i remember well Tresore became Witness the fall in 2000, the first MCD was released 2001.<br />
I wasn’t in the band back then. Bjorn, their singer, a good friend of me back then,<br />
dropped a copy of the MCD in my mailbox. i was instantly hooked. Bjorn quit the band a few<br />
years later, where i filled in on vocals. Not much later Chiel (First fight down) joined the band,<br />
and bassist Lesley (who plays in A Giant A Genius now), got replaced by Wouter.<br />
The sound stayed much the same until in 2014 Tommy left the band, Witness the fall went on<br />
with just one guitar player. This had such an impact on the sound, but it gave a twist<br />
the band really needed. The sound turned out much more hardcore now.<br />
Tthe emotion is still in the music, but les whiny. Witness the falls has balls now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> If you'd ask me this 3 or 4 years ago, then i did a lot of these things by now.<br />
I’ve released my own music on vinyl, We met a lot of new friends and people, Heartfelt, Titan,<br />
UYC, BBMA, Realm of torment & Patrick Mark My words. It gives so much strength to meet likeminded people. The best is playing shitholes with these people, travels endless roads in too<br />
small vans. Every time anybody from the other side of the world orders a record through the internet<br />
Iget such an awesome feeling. I really would like to play Asia once, that's still on my list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> We are working on 2 or 3 new songs now, i think we are going to release them on a split 7" again.<br />
If any bands are interested, don't hesitate to let our label bosses know haha! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br />How do you feel about bbma as a label?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> I could never hope somebody would invest in our music. since we are a DIY band<br />
I know how much this costs, not only the energy, but also the finances. <br />
Having a (DIY) label back you up helps so much in developing your music and band itself.<br />
I feel humble to work with those people. Really nothing I can think of that labels as BBMA <br />
(and others like Rage or MMW) could to better, I love every single thing of them. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Early 00's Style Metalcore/Beatdown Hardcore Band from the UK (UYC Crew).<br />I had the honour of co-releasing their LP (and a promo tape before that) on vinyl.<br />FFO: Slavearc, Martyr AD, Killswitch Engage, ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Jonny & I play guitar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we started we had a more 90's sound I think. It is still there in doses,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we have naturally moulded into a more early 00's metalcore sound along<br />the lines of Parkway Drive / It Dies Today etc. I think this has come about due to<br />simply getting better at our instruments & being able to write closer to exactly what it is<br />we want, as well improving our actual sound live & on recording.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><i>What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been a band about 3 & a half years. So far we have put out a 4 track demo,<br />an 11 track album & we are to begin recording for a 3 track EP this weekend.<br />We are already looking to the future & discussing how we would like a follow up album to sound.<br />We have toured the UK a few times / played tons of one-off shows & visited Europe for a couple<br />short weekends so far, however we are currently in the middle of booking an 8 day European tour<br />for summer. Our next aim is to head to Spain for some shows following that seperatley.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I just answered this mostly above, but I can talk about the new release. It sounds not<br />dissimilar to the album, but song & riff writing has vastly improved, the songs flow a lot better than<br />before. We also have a few softer parts on this, as it's only a short release we thought we would<br />experiment & try some newer things out. I say it's short, but even though it's 3 songs it will be around<br />12 minutes in length. The best song we have wrote so far / will ever write is on this too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How do you feel about bbma as a label?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BBMA is a great label & always put 100% effort into everything you do, you always know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you're working together on something you guys will do it with the up-most attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best thing about the label for me is the small details that go into the releases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a lot of the releases have a ton of information about the bands which is cool to learn<br />things about them & see maybe why they are how they are. I'd say it could improve at<br />merch designs for my personal taste, I want a balaclava for when it's snowing but I also<br />don't want peopel to think i'm going to burn down a church.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Metallic Vegan Straight Edge 90's Style Hardcore from Florida.<br />
A militant stance towards veganism & animal rights ...and some serious chugg!<br />
I had the honor of co-re-releasing their demo, which already was one of my favorites from '15<br />
on a 7" (as BBMA21) in early '16, together with Bitter Melody Records (USA).<br />
FFO: Green Rage, Trial, Earth Crisis, ...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'd say our influences have gotten a bit broader. When we first started I just wanted us<br />
to sound like a mix of Indecision and Snapcase, but that's not the case anymore.<br />
Our lives have changed a bit as well, so practicing, writing and playing shows<br />
doesn't happen nearly as much as we'd like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I never had concrete goals for the band. I wanted to play music with my friends<br />
and use it as an outlet to talk about veganism. Hearing from multiple people that our band<br />
was the catalyst that made them go vegan is all I could have ever hoped for.<br />
Releasing two 7" records and having people from other countries show interest in us<br />
is something that I still wouldn't have predicted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As I said earlier, we don't practice as much as we'd like.<br />
Hopefully we'll play a show sooner rather than later.<br />
We have a couple of songs we'd like to record, so hopefully that will happen as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Metallic 90's style Hardcore/Metalcore from the UK.<br />Released their demo last year, through MMW on CD and as BBMA24 on Tape.<br />FFO: Pain Runs Deep, Sunrise, Arkangel, ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who are you, what are you doing in the band?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yooo. It`s Patrick here. I’m trying to play on guitar(s) in Absorption. Alex is doing vocals </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Don drums. We have lost some band members recently. So for now it’s only 3 of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How has the band evolved since the beginning? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ohh well. When we started with this band (me and Don) we didn’t expect that we<br />gonna record something so fast. Supposed to be a fun band for weekends only.<br />Just few friends enjoying playing in band and making some cool noise together so we are very<br />happy that we did release our debut EP on CD (Mark MY Words records) and Tapes<br />(BBMA and Coercion Cassettes ). We have learned a lot during that process and we are ready<br />for more now. Maybe we are not active that much (band members problems, work, family)<br />but we are working on new stuff and this is the main thing I think.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recorded demo – done. Release this – done. Write some new music – working on this.<br />Release something new – working on this. Few slightly further bands goals – play more shows<br />especially one in H8000 area, one in Japan and one in your bedroom.<br />After these 3 shows I think we can say it’s over for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes. At the moment we are looking for solid band members (guitar and bass) so we can start<br />thinking about shows etc. We are working on few songs which we wanna release on split<br />r next ep. We are talking to some bands about this so we will see what future will bring.</div>

Damn this is the moment where I have to lie again – yeah BBMA is cool, we like them, <br />nice people etc. It’s good to work with them ;-) But to be serious – BBMA is doing very well<br />I have to say. In short time people started recognizing your name. That’s good. Keep that hard work. Hope that we can work together again in the future as a band and as a label.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Since January 2015, we started off as a 4-piece, all from Savannah, Georgia.<br />We’ve written an EP called “Drowning The Apathy Inside” which was released on April 20th.<br />Around the time of summer was our first tour with a band called Without, also from Savannah,<br />and we headed out to Texas and back. We also picked up a new bassist, Jonathan Mackey, <br />which at the time was newly living in central Florida, originally from Long Island. <br />December 2015, we went on our second tour with Bind from Florida, and headed <br />up the east coast. January 2016, our close friend from Atlanta, Tom Lovejoy joined the band,<br /> then went on various short runs with bands like Sanction, Jukai, Detriment, and Heavens Die.<br /> In March, we went on a tour to California and back with Down In It (NC). <br />Future wise, we’d like to eventually do another US run and hopefully hit Europe and/or Japan. </span></div>

<span class="_3oh- _58nk">As a full 5-piece, we’ve finished writing a full length, which will temporarily be titled </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">“Ache of Eternity”. We recently just put out a 4-way split with our friends in Sanction (LIHC), Funerals (Portland), and Iron Curtain (Inland Empire, CA) thanks to Bitter Melody Records. </span></div>

<span class="_3oh- _58nk">I’ve always thought BBMA was a very pro, great label. <br />There’s not much I can pick on, with a label that’s always supported us beyond what we hoped. <br />Just keep being consistent and pushing hard ass bands.
Thanks a lot! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm Tim a.k.a. xRULEx and basically I am Forward To Eden. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In FTE's first Incarnation (2014-2015) I did Vocals, Guitars & Bass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In FTE's current Incarnation (2016-2017) I am doing Vocals & Guitars.<br />
Besides that I am also singing in Castigator (Death/Thrash Metal Band)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Through Chaos & Solitude (Melodic Black Metal Solo-Project) right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I kinda started this band/project (wrote the first songs for it) in late 2012/early 2013. <br />
After I realized that I wont find people to bring it on stage with, I decided to do it as a solo project and recorded a first promo track with my good friend Rat (the man behind Statement).<br />
Unfortunately he didn't had the time to record a whole demo with me and so it took some more time<br />
until the first "demo" was released. This time with "The Vegan Warrior" on Drums.<br />
Then, in late 2016 I had my first great achivement with my first Vinyl 7" release<br />
and shortly after a CD release on another label than my own!</div>
<div>
For this year, there is a lot more planed as well - the next Split 7" is already in the making<br />
and there are also some possible line ups for a soon-to-be show in discussion - be prepared!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shows? We'll see - I won't stand in the way of that.<br />
Releases? Hopefully a lot! Probably some. Definitely at least 2 this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How do you feel about BBMA as a label? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, I'd love to release on any other label(s) as well - so, feel free to get at me!<br />
In what I do suck most? Probably in trying to do too much at once... like working a full time job,<br />
doing the label, 2 solo-projects, a band and still managing private life (girlfriend, family, friends)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and hobbies (the gym, reading comics/mangas, watching series/movies, etc.) - I think I could be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a lot more productive if I'd cut out 2 or 3 of them... but yeah, I don't think that that will happen.<br />
So... for now you'll have to live with that - but feel free to do your share and contribute in</div>
