I think this two young European bands To die for from Italy and Engrave from Germany are great couple for sharing this album. Both bands play metallic new school HC and both bands have great, smart and educational lyrics! For example Engrave lyrics talks about media, capitalism and consecutions of both, love as a sense of life and ideas like try to find yourself. There are also explanations for every song, which are of course extra points for this band. Great live band! To die for are not as fast as Engrave but they have more break downs and distorted parts. Their lyrics are very good written but it's kind of hard for me to define them on the appointed subjects, so it would be a good think if they would have wrote explanations as their dudes did. I like this record! DEFIANCE REC., RITTERSTRASSE 50, 50668 KOLN, GERMANY defiancerecords@aol.com http://surf.to/engrave

ENGRAVE - ''s/t'' 7''

LYRICS:

This is not bad at all! When I bought this 7'' I had no idea how will this sounds like. Friend told me that this is some kind of German powerviolence so I decided to take a few copys for the distro. Hmm... I don't see any connection. The music is fast but definitely not powerviolence! It's actually metallic new school HC with screaming vocal. There are also slower parts with nice melodies that sometimes sounds like Serene! I can't remember any name, but all together really reminds me on Swedish new school bands. What I like the most on this 7'' are their great, long and very well written lyrics. They are written in emotional/metal way and they deal with personal and political problems. I like it!
