Brandkommando - Time of Violence

Harsh Noise? Well, I don't know. I've always thought harsh is fast, rhythmical flood of noise, but what Brandkommando offer at their newest album is more towards anti music. The anti music was also up to dodecaphonists, but they in turn moved more into a direction of abstract only after...

Funhouse EP "Don't Wanna Know Me" got into my hands by a pure accident. I listened to it three times and came to conclusion that the major inspiration for this album must have been The 69 Eyes. Even the vocalist has the same manner of singing. But let's...
