Lycanthrophy

So, Lycanthrophy LP's are finally here. The record is available in black and violet vinyl. The coloured vinyl is limited and will only be available through mailorder.
You can hear some of the songs on Lycanthrophy's myspace.

New releases

Lycanthrophy Lp is out! I will have to wait to get my copies, but hope that it will get here by the end of the year. If you know a band that is touring Czech and is coming to Croatia or Slovenia, let me know so that I could get a hold of those records.

Next release will be Brivido / Homo Homini Lupus split LP. Brivido will have 9 songs from the same session as the split 7" with Senata Fox (with recorded bass), and HHL will put their songs from "Without us they don't exist" album. A nice combination of hardcore punk and crust grind metal. It will again be a co-release, this time between Fucking Kill, Pest & Cholera, DHP/AK47, Sumoggu, Antenora and Gusto Rana. If all goes well, it should be out by the end of the year.

Short Fast & Loud review

"Nice! A cool little split 7" from two Croatian hardcore bands released on a Croatian label. I have to admit, as an ignorant American (sorry, I was hanging out with C), I don't know a whole lot about Croatia or the scene there, but if this record gives any inkling, I'd like to know more. Senata Fox cranks out some gnarly fast-core thrash, with only one song breaking the one-minute mark. It sort of reminds me of some later Hellnation stuff. Brivido also churn out some thrashy hardcore. This time the lyrics were in Croatian, but they provided some nice descriptions. Lyrics from both bands range from political to personal. Good stuff on here guys. Check them out." SF+L #23

Vile Noise review

Nova recenzija na webzine-u Vile Noise.
So, here's another review in English. It got 8/10 skulls!

This 7 inch is first (out of many more to come, I hope) release from Summogu Records, a small DIY record label from Croatia. What we have here is split release from two Croatians prime thrash hardcore punk bands: Senata Fox and Brivido.

Senata Fox are veterans on the scene with their 10 year long carrier and handful of releases. This is their latest release with some songs recorded in 2006. that never got published until now. Their fast and nervous punk is their trademark and a constant, with lyrics that question this whole society and also give their vision of what future should be like. Five tracks, seven minutes of explosive riffs and pissed off screaming. I personally like this raw production, but I feel like screaming vocals are little to quiet and low growls are too loud (and maybe I’m just deaf).

On the other hand Brivido is somewhat new band featuring members of disbanded powerviolence band Panaceja that enjoys cult status among the punks from ex-Yugoslavia countries. Unlike Panaceja, Brivido is playing “more ordinary” hardcore punk with some thrash influences. Lyrics are in Croatian about everyday life, struggle to survive in this unkindly world and friendship (or false friendship to be more precise). Although Brivido don’t have bass player and although there is no bass recorded, modern production and groovy songs make it unneeded. Blasphemy or not (in the eyes of the local punks), I prefer Brivido over Panaceja.

If you’re looking for some great punk, you cannot miss with this 7 inch.

Attack fanzine review

Recenzija na attackfanzine.net:
New review from Attack fanzine:

"Two bands of which I really don’t know anything, except the fact that they both come from Croatia and that they both recorded these tracks a few years ago.

Senata Fox open with a drumbeat, followed by a catchy riff, and soon the rest of the band enter with full force and we’re off for a loud and violent trip. For good and bad there’s honestly not a whole lot more that can be added to describing this – as simple as it may sound, this is good fast hardcore with a raw touch and quite the manic vocal efforts.

Brivido aren’t holding back either, and they lay it on us in a rapid fury. It’s hard, fast, and loud and they mix heavy riffs and quick leads with frantic blasts. Perhaps not as diverse as it may seem, but still enough to make it interesting, and they’ve got a good production which gives room for all elements. I guess their sound could be described as quite dark, but then there are the guitars that are considerably sharper in sound, balancing it off.

I still don’t know much about the bands, but I’m glad this 7” landed here at the attackfanzine.net HQ." - Krogh

MRR review

Izašla je ok recenzija u Maximum Rocknrollu:
Review from Maximum Rocknroll:

"I guess this is BRIVIDO's first release. You'd never know it, as hese are some well written songs and they make most out of their two-guitar/dual-vocal setup. The sound is hard to pin down as they bounce from melodic hardcore to very heavy, nearly crust parts with a touch of blast-beating. Nice political lyrics in Croatian, with explanations in English as well. Apparently I have been missing out on SENATA FOX as they have several releases and this is the first I've heard from them. My first impression is that the main vocalist has a real Martin (LOS CRUDOS, LIMP WRIST, etc.) thing going on. The music is speedy hardcore that also occasionally recalls LOS CRUDOS. This is a solid split, and well worth picking up. Don't ignore it because of the bizarre artwork - the tunes are more than worth it." - MRR #321
