This, CHARTA 77’s second album, continues in the fast punk/occasional thrash groove they’ve established. Mostly tuneful material with a steady (sometimes too much so) beat, chorus back-up singing, and every now and then a song that jumps out from the rest. Good, but not awesome.
A four-band comp, featuring CRISMA KAOS (melodic thrash), SLAM (metal-laden), PAST (straight-on melodic thrash), and BIZARR (melodic thrash, with the most bite here). All in all, OK, but not awesome.
Four bands (PAST, CHARTA 77, LOST NOT POSERS, and PISKAD SENAP), four songs, all excellent pop-punk with great Swedish hooks and classic punk delivery. A joy.
Two bands appear here. Rambunctious political punk rushes from the grooves of the PAST. Foot-stomping melodies, shot forth through whining distorted guitar and shrill vocal yells, are pumped in short doses of up-tempo bursts. ZYNTHSLAKT shares a similar quality, dealing more with a harmonious sound than a breakneck attack. Lots of variety, but still holding your attention.
