Intro:
Hi my name is Julie, I live in Vienna and I am doing vocals in a hardcore band called Dregs. Other than that I take analogue & digital pictures. Mostly i love doing portraits and catching amazing moments at live shows. I am listening to music like 24/7, so i am more than happy to share my top 5 of 2020 releases. Venom Prison – Primeval Label: Prosthetic Records Location: Cardiff, Cardiff, UK I think that is definitely my top 1 of 2020. It's blastering death metal with fierce guttural vocals. I know Larissa from her previous band, back then i already admired her vocal skills, but now with Venom Prison it is just mindblowing. She is a huge inspiration to me! My favourite song is "Slayer of Holofernes" - I love the catchy melodic part and the sick drums. Guitars are heavy and sharp. Unfortunately i haven't seen them live, but i will for sure catch them at their upcoming tour with Creeping Death & Leeched. Kommand – Terrorscape Label: Maggot Stomp Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA If you liked the band Hoax you should definitely check this band. Not because it is the same genre, no. Pure heavy death metal with evil vocals by their former vocalist Jesse Sanes. I discovered them, as they got reviewed by Cvlt Nation and it got me immediately. Guitars and Drums are dope as hell. All wrapped up in dystopian vibes. Favourite song is "Gulag Orphanage" starts with solid double bass and ends with intense guitar shredding. All you ask for! Venator - Paradiser Split with Angel Blade Label: Dying Victims Productions Location: Linz, Austria 80's heavy metal straight from steel city Linz/Austria. I love this record, and just listened to it on repeat. It is danceable, catchy and gives me a good mood. Dedication at its best. All songs are killer! Haven't seen them yet, but will do once corona is over! Gravesend - Preparations for Human Disposal Label: Stygian Black Hand Location: New York, NY, USA Another death metal release, harsh and intense! Mostly, if I love the artwork I love the sound behind, so I didn't get let down with this one. A wild mix of grindcore & black metal with synth&noise parts in between songs. Ratty bass and distorted guitar - a rough sound as it should be. Can't decide which song i like the most. Horror Vacui - Living for Nothing Label: Agipunk Location: Bologna, Italy I love Horror Vacui, I saw them already 2 times, and I was just more than happy with their perfomance. It's 80's death rock with typical anarchist mindset. Very danceable and smooth. All their records are solid and atmospheric. 10/10 well done. Favourite song "Consolation Prize"
