Ladies & Djentlemen (See what I did there? Haha), Nu-metalcore is the new black. Derby lads Simbulis recently released an EP, Menticide and boy, we're all in for a big treat! Let's turn it up to eleven!
Menticide: The methodical effort to weaken and destroy a person's values & beliefs. Anoki (vocals) warms up by breathing into the mic. I believe Menticide is one of their strongest songs on the EP because of the powerful lyrics, which we can all resonate with. So raw, so passionate! The crispy guitar riffs will give you goosebumps; it feels like Articuno is using Ice Beam. I can hear a little bit of Guilt Trip (hardcore band from Manchester, also great) and a little bit of Alpha Wolf (Australian nu-metalcore band I also recommend listening to).
The New Antitode is an absolute banger! The beginning of the track reminds me of Casanova by Thornhill, but the song ain't about chasing someone who ain't possible to be your lover *chuckles*
Smooth clean vocals with beautiful guitar riffs *chef's kiss* I could imagine this song being performed in future gigs, most likely to get the mosh pit on fire (not literally, that would be tragic). The music video for this song shows the lads performing and unapologetically being themselves as they should. As you all know, at every gig, when the headlining band is almost over, you'll get fans chanting 'one more song'.
Oh boy, Aura goes fucking hard! The delivery of the song doesn't beat around the bush. Fantastic vocals and phenomenal rhythm. These guys have evolved as a band (yep, I'm using a Pokémon reference here because Pokémon is awesome!).
I'm going to give this EP a 10/10 because:
They have put so much dedication into this EP
Great lyricism in each song they've written
That's all I can say! Make sure you check the EP out on Apple Music or Spotify, and for more updates, you can follow them on Instagram: @simbulisuk
Songs I recommend: The New Antidote, Meticide
For fans of: Guilt Trip, Deftones, Thornhill, Landmvrks
Date: 4.8.25 Supporting acts: Exile (UK/NZ), Street Soldier (UK) and Chaos Reign (UK) Location: Signature Brew Haggerston, London Brazilian hardcore Worst ended their Euro summer tour at Signature Brew, London, with support acts Chaos Reign, Xile and Street Soldier. I won't lie; I was initially reluctant to see Chaos Reign live after checking out their music. But seeing them live changed my mind. Solid performance from the hardcore punk band from London. I was not expecting Jason Heightman (Chaos Reigns' frontman) to be singing directly in my face *chuckles*. Although I thought he would be hanging around steel joists. Talk about being the HEIGHT man, get it? He was quite a character, getting on the table, screaming into the mic. @chaosreignsuk Xile's brought Kiwicore to the pit with lots of two-steps, flying karate jumps and brutal breakdowns (I'm talking about New Zealand here, not kiwifruits). The kiwis know how to party! Especially when they performed from their EP ...
What's up? My name is Mazzie (I also go by Thorn). I used to run a blog called Music With Mazzie Massacre, where I used to write about: - Recent shows I've attended - Interview band members - Reviews on a song, album - Features about a band/musician I've never heard of I started Music With Mazzie Massacre in 2013 before I started university. I studied BA Journalism & Media at Middlesex University (I graduated in 2016) and wrote mostly about metal music. There was a very good reason why I chose to attend that university, because the campus was very close to Camden Town, which allowed me to go to as many gigs as possible and was beneficial for the course. I was disheartened when my supervisor left me nasty feedback on my dissertation, saying that it wasn't good enough when I had put my heart and soul into Music With Massacre. His comments discouraged me from writing more music blogs. After my hiatus, I lost my passion and had to terminate the Music With Mazzie Massa...
Aye aye! The Glaswegian finest beatdown boys, Screwdriver Lobotomy (Hold the Phione, they're a band) are back with another slamtastic track, 'Gang Mentality,' and oh boy, they know how to deliver. Street Soldier's brother from another mother! They have performed live and I could tell that they know how to put on a show! I won't need to say "I'll believe it when I see it" because their live footage says it all! The beginning of the track starts off with the intro sample from Hood Took Me Under by Compton's Most Wanted. It has a similar vibe to PeelingFlesh's 'Make A Move,' transitioning from old-school hip-hop to slamming guitar riffs, two-steps, windmills and flying jump kicks. It's music to my ears (literally) to hear the iconic bleughs and barks; even the cats approve! Imagine cats in the mosh-pit, two-stepping and pawing the air. The style of this song reminds me of old school Paleface Swiss (before their CURSED era) and a littl...
