ALFATEC / THIS ROUTINE IS HELL split CD
{Matzugoru Records, Deadgyver Prod}
A couple of weeks ago I got some copies of this split digipack CD for my distro.
A split CD featuring 2 bands I have hardly heard about before. It wasn't earlier than yesterday that I first listened to this piece of plastic and ,dude, I got psyched. What a great metal free hardcore split between 2 upcoming & so much promising bands.
Alfatec come from Firenze, Italy, and play fast skate punk / hardcore in the vein of the late 80s, early 90s American hardcore / punk scene. Moreover they bring in mind bands like Annihilation Time, Common Enemy and the likes. Ripping hardcore attack with a thrashy edge.
This Routine Is Hell (formerly known as De Tarrels) are mostly into old school hardcore and bands like Black Flag, Jerry's Kids, Minor Threat etc. They come from Holland and since 2006 they are spreading their fast energetic hc to the masses. They just signed to the awesome label Akashic Records from Japan.
Nice split, nice bands, nice artwork, nice price. Buy or die!
