NEW NOISE ORDER



If you follow British hardcore punk or oi! as some prefer to call it, you've probably noticed the aces of the genre DISCHARGE have released a new album for the first time since 2008. There is hella hype around this album from fans of punk, metal and well known musicians within those genres. If you are a die hard discharge fan, question grave new world AND have been following them for the past 2 years you would've seen on Facebook that they have parted ways with vocalist Rat (also of The Varukers) replacing him with Broken Bones vocalist JJ. As well as the rejoining of the inventor of the D-beat, Tezz Roberts (however he now plays guitar for the band) making discharge a 5 piece band!
They have also recently signed to big time metal label Nuclear Blast! which has for some reason started up controversy and shit talkers.. let's not forget The Ramones produced albums with Phil Spector and the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI, Virgin and Warner Bros.  (now fuck off punk police)

Cut to the chase; NEW WORLD ORDER!!
I've been waiting for a spare moment to give a quick review on this album; short, sweet, loud and fast! Just the way hardcore was meant to be. I was stoked that jb hifi stocked this CD however I wish I pre-ordered the shirt and vinyl combo cause I'm a wax nerd..
Anyway! I'm gonna give a short review some quick picks of mine from the album
1. New World Order
This was the first song that was released to the public via the bands Facebook and as soon as I heard this I was so excited! The classic, grimy guitar and bass sound intros the track then an insane D-beat with the drone chorus riff and not to mention JJ'S VOCALS!!!!!!!

4. The Broken Law
This song is interesting, a slow droning intro in a discharge song? that was very unexpected! However it instantly caught my attention. I love the instant distant solos in this song and the rolls in the snare and the more focus on instruments in this song, really shows the "make noise not music" slogan!!

15. Accessories By Molotov part 2
First of all when I saw this as the last track on the pre-order I was fucking stoked this is my favorite discharge song and I was keen as fuck to hear their rework.
This version sounding like Motorhead and Discharge fucked and just had a hell of a crazy kid!! Loud blasts from the drums during the intro and a deeper droning riff but still giving just as good as a feel as the original. The song ends with a revisit to the origins of the song giving it a bloody rad finisher, perfect to finish one of the best albums of 2016!

If I had time to write a review of every song I really would! 10/10 album boys still keeping the spirit of some real hardcore fucking punk. And with all the problems that seem to happen daily now, it's nice to have an anti-war, anti-government band such as discharge back to yell their comments over some noise with a big middle finger up to all these issues in the world!
If you love just pure insane loud blasts of fuzzy buzzy noise and bands such as doom, extreme noise terror and so on and haven't already listened to discharge do yourself a favor and buy this fucking album and play it loud on repeat!

REVIEW; The Broken Movie



Film: Broken (aka The Broken Movie)
Directer: Peter Christopherson
Producer: Trent Reznor
Staring: Bob Flanagan, Trent Reznor, Live Members of Nine Inch Nails






When I had first heard of nine inch nails I was 12 (actual 12vie) I was obessed with What I though at the time was fucked up, things such as; mass murderers, cults, reb and vodka (fuckwits), staying up all night watching B grade horror films, straightening my hair and wearing skin tight jeans. At the time mother did her best to hide the downward spiral from me so I was listening to all of the more new NIN such as with teeth and that free album (forgot the fucking title)
Now I'm 17, have listed to the downward spiral in it's entirety (and confused by the packaging) have had the downward spiral though with my own music.

Now I'm onto this review of "Broken" (aka, The Broken Movie) ahhh yes not exactly the album but the 20 minute horror film made to promote the album that was never actually released! (but how fucking good of an album is broken, brand new agrees)
First of all it was a fucking pain to find this film on a torrent site and there are many different versions, this version I'm reveiwing is more complete and does contain the scene "help me I'm in hell" more pervious versions had this scene blank out because Trent Reznor is intelligent and did this to certian scenes of the film for each different version of the film he gave out so he would have knowledge of who fucked up (leaked the film)
From what I know NIN has a bit of a histroy of starting something but not releasing it (you're not alone Mr. Reznor)
The person that had their copy leaked it belived to be Gibby Haynes ex Revolving Cocks and Butthole Surfers.
Taken from: http://www.nin.wiki/Broken_Movie


At the beginning of the movie I see a cunt wearing doc martins with no laces, this translates in my head as a skinhead that has jumped someone and cut their boot laces and fucked off with them. so old mate walks along gets a rope put around his neck and oops Iann Curtis.
This film is an amateur shot lofi snuff looking film and the main guy is forced to watch NIN music videos (similar to Guantanamo Bay where people would bound and listening to march of the pigs for hours) arrested some innocent people, take their rights away and torture them, the real way to solve terrorism (intended sarcasm)
Back to the film, I really enjoy how this movie has flashes of armature shot scenes in between the professional shot clips it's like an ADHD gore fest trip from hell.
This is one of the first films where some scenes and images have actually made me a bit sick to the stomach and it takes a lot to do that considering I've seen a lot of horror films and fuck up photos.
This film was a very fucking chilling but nice piece of work a true real feeling horror gore fest that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys fucked up art work, films and nine inch nails. well worth the download and viewing, I'm not posting the link you cunts can find it for yourself.

From the archives!

A little bit of info on this; this interview was done mid last year just before EEV came out around all the hype time.

Chad: how was recording?

our anchored hearts: Heading to Sydney was an awesome experience for our first EP, We recorded in a studio called "The Lockup" which is a converted old Police station, with creepy cells too, its located in Sutherland in Southwest Sydney. The week actually turned out to be a very chill time and quite relaxing, the opposite of what we imagined as a gruelling long days in a studio.

Chad: Who recorded the ep?

OAH: Richie Newman and Mark Harris of Buried in Verona were our engineers for our time in Sydney, We also had Mark Matula help with the setup for drum tracking. They are the most down to earth awesome guys, which made the trip so relaxing like we knew them already.
Richie and Mark pushed us each day to try new things, we all have collectively learnt a lot and will definitely be using what we have gained as a basis for us to continue making Our Anchored Hearts even better for the future. The advice and experience they have for both music and getting the word out there is already helping us to be the best we can.

Chad: Whats the name of it? and chuck us some information on it

OAH: Our EP is called "Eternal Empty Vessel" or "EEV" for short, we are still in the process of finalizing the sound we want, but we can say we have five songs in no particular order: Deceiver, Life Changer, Psychophant, Equinox and Outlive.

Chad: Favorite song from the ep?

OAH: Without a doubt its our new track "Equinox"

Chad: When is the planed released?

OAH: We plan to release the OAH EEV EP later this year, so keep your eyes peeled.

Chad: When do guys play next?

OAH: We don't have anything planned as such, just heaps of practice haha, but we have some interesting gigs coming up which we are all looking forward to as a band, keep on the lookout as we will have new events up announced on our facebook page, check it out, be sure to check out our Studio diary too which is on youtube.

Chad: perfect drug, big on nine inch nails?

Franky Rez: Massive fan. Got real into them in my late teens and i’ve just followed them every since.

Fanky Rez: life haha

Chad: I heard from word of mouth that this music that will be performed will be “strange” can you describe for me what the music will be like?

Franky Rez: Haha I like that, ‘strange’ haha. It will just be a wall of noise. The songs are a combination of hardcore, emo, industrial, metalcore and grunge, frankensteined together.

Chad: what are some themes of these songs?

Franky Rez: Most of our songs are very dark and heavy themed. We dabble with topics such as mental illness, break ups, suicide and censorship. Drawing upon personal exoeriences we try and devolge into the darker depths of our lives.

Fanky Rez: Very keen! First time actually playing guitar and doing vocals live so im  a bit nervous but still excited none-the-less
