The album "Zwischenwelt" from Germany's Tausend Lowen Unter Feinden (Thousand Lions Amongst Enemies) is a concept album about the impermanence of transience. "Zwischenwelt" is the result of the consistent, musical development of Tausend Lowen Unter Feinden and is characterized by a distinctive sound. For fans of Terror, Hatebreed, Lionheart, Stick To Your Guns, and Dead Hearts. LP includes digital download. On colored vinyl.
Five years in the making, "Who The Hell Is Wild Side?" is the first LP
from Niagra Falls, Ontario, Candada's Wild Side. The result of years of
waiting is an LP that brings to mind the NYHC "The Way It Is" comp, with
buzzsaw guitars and a growl reminiscent of the late, great Raybeez,
complete with wailing solos. For fans of Warzone and Iron Boots.
"Failed Entertainment" examines
vast, philosophical inquiries throughout its 11 tracks. Rather than the
short, intense bursts of energy that 2016's "Paramount" delivered, songs
here are given more space to contort in strange, new shapes. Harnessing
this chaos and ferocity is at the center of the theme of "Failed
Entertainment," which is authenticity in every possible moment: to
investigate grief devoid of melodrama, to urge political change off the
soapbox, to examine everything in sight without grandiose diagnosis. On colored vinyl.

live band to beat on stages across Europe. With a US tour imminent and
new material in the works, Painkiller presents a 12" of all previously

What started off as an idea by a group of friends to kill time and have
fun, manifested itself into a much needed and overdue Orange County punk
revival movement. For over five years now, Chemical X has gathered a
loyal following and spread their influence all over SoCal, not only to
bring life back into a scene dominated and oversaturated by withering
legends, drunk punks, and jocks disguised in camo shorts and band t's,

new sound that simultaneously pays homage to those who came before
them, Chemical X is ready to take on the world. 7" includes digital
