Battle Ruins - s/t EP

Rebellion Records - LP -


1318_brEP.jpgRe-edition of this Boston based band EP which is out on Rebellion as LP and it contains all four original songs (Blood Eagle, Traitors Stomped Out, Warpaths Ahead and Heart of Fire and Stone) plus two bonus tracks Cut Bloodline and Cold Iron Death from cassetes and demos. LP is limited to 300 black copies and 450 clear with splatters. Original version is from 2010 (Rock´n´Roll Disgrace), repress is from 2017 on same labal and it really cost much now. Cover is done as a gatefold with lyrics and band photos. Now to the music. I think it is not necessary to introduce Battle Ruins. For me it is phenomenon. Lyrics about wars, battles and fights from Roman Empite to nowadays (this EP is mainly about Viking times), Brandan´s perfect vocal (who is not afraid to use high tune levels like in Traitors Stomped Out or Heart of Fire and Stone), NWOBHM influences on guitar and totally non-cliché attitude towars the music. Brendan has experiences with many projects from HC, punk through hevy and black metal. If you compare these EP with later songs of the band you will realize that this EP has the fastest thythm. All songs can be checked on youtube, so try them if you don´t know them. Perfect!

Ultra Sect - Rose of Victory

Rebellion/Turn Up the Oi! Records - LP -


1317_ultra_sect.jpgUltra Sect is band hailing from San Francisco, which plays in four, but with two guitars. This is compilation released on Rebellion Records and band label Turn Up The Oi! (which is also song on the LP). On side A are songs from War of the Roses (2018) EP and on B side from Final Conquest (2019). If you did not know this fact you never recognise any sound differences between the sides. Two guitars can be heard in the songs straight from the beginning – just check solos in Built at Last or Class Hate. Guitar is perfect also at the end of Turn Up the Oi! I really like song Stolen Lands which is the hardest from the LP for me and I can say that whole B side is little bit harder compared to A side. Lyrics are about historical topics (Violent Acquisition, Power through Victory and Stolen Lands), about hard life and strikes (Built to Last), classic topics about “way of life” (Turn Up the Oi! and Modern Nights). LP is limited to 150 black copies and 350 gold ones. Graphicaly it is perfect, with lyrics and photos inside. I will leave it without rating because it is “just” compulation of two EP´s.
