All the Pretty Horses
HAW is a Hungarian band formed in 2008 by four friends, who are well-known faces of the home metal underground. The news that former Stereochrist frontman Dávid Makó is joining forces with brothers Márton and Péter Szabó, members of IGOR and Gáspár Binder, drummer of Stereochrist (and at least ten other bands) were great, as their first demo song, The Free Ride of the Workhorse as well. That powerful track was an instant classic, and was followed by a 4-song demo in 2009. The great shows, their attitude and the songs had predicted a nice future, but due to some -yet unclarified- reasons they pushed themself to standby mode in 2011 for a one-year rest. Then, in a surprise appearance in 2012 they made it clear that these four pals need to be together, write new songs, and continue what they’ve created. Fortunately they did, and with their just released album, they are better than ever! Tovább / Read more »

“I guess there’s quite a dark side to me. It always comes out when I’m writing songs. I love Sylvia Plath, and I love listening to songs that have that haunting darkness that really pulls you in, so it’s probably something that I want to create in my songs.” She plays every instrument on her recordings, from bass to piano, from guitar to sitar.

Development of Napalm Death and Other Odds and Ends
1942. Napalm was developed in a secret laboratory at Harvard University in Massachusetts. The name is a combination of the names of two of the constituents of the gelling agent: naphthenic acid and palmitic acid. The napalm fires can create an atmosphere of greater than 20% carbon monoxide and firestorms with self-perpetuating winds of up to 110 km/h (70 m/h).
1944. The first recorded strategic use of napalm incendiary bombs occurred in an attack by the USAAF on Berlin on 6 March.
1980. United Nations declared to use napalm against civilians is a war crime, but the international law does not prohibit the use of napalm or other incendiaries against military targets.
1981. Napalm Death was founded at a little village in heart of England by Nicholas Bullen (vocals, bass) and Miles Ratlidge (drums). They were around 14 then and listen to too many punk music.
1981-87. Constant line-up changes. There were 15 members during this period. The first album was recorded in two parts in 1986 and 1987 by two different line-ups, only the drummer Mick Harris is same on both side of the „officially” first grindcore album ever. Both founders left the group, Ratlidge in ’85, Bullen in ’86 together with Justin Broadrick, because they were discontented with the direction of the band. After the B-side recordings Shane Embury who was drummer in death metal bands joined as bass player.
1989. Lee Dorian (vocal) and Bill Steer (guitar) left the band due to musical differences. Dorian rather to found one of the first doom metal bands Cathedral; Steer rather to want concentrate to his own band Carcass. They were changed by Mark Greenway (vocal) from the death metal Benediction, and a Mexican born American guitarist, Jesus Ernesto Pintado Andrade from Terrorizer. Jesus stayed until 2004.
1991. Another American guitarist in the band. Mitch Harris arrived from Righteous Pigs. About this time he had a common project with Mick Harris: Defecation. After the third album Mick Harris left Napalm Death, because it became too death metal for him. He was replaced by an American drummer Danny Herrera.
1994. Napalm Death remixed a song of a British hardcore-rap crew, Gunshot.

In 1991 he joined Mick Harris brand new project, Scorn, left it in 1995, and gained another university degree in Computer Science.

Mick Harris (1985-91: drums) while was in Napalm Death also played for Doom and Extreme Noise Terror. 1991 he has formed an electronic metal-industrial dub band Scorn with Bullen, and Broadrick also appeared in the early recordings, but today he is the sole member. In the same time of founding of Scorn he joined John Zorn and Bill Laswell’s jazzcore band Painkiller. He had also dark ambient and drum and bass projects.
Justin Broadrick (1985-86: guitar) grew up in a hippie commune. He was about 8 when he heard Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music at first. After Napalm Death he was influenced by 80s hip-hop sound and acid house. His bands: Final (power electronics, dark ambient, founded in 1982), Godflesh (industrial metal, 1988), Techno Animal (industrial hip-hop with Kevin Martin from GOD, 1991), Jesu (post-metal, 2003), Pale Sketcher (“shoegazy dream-pop that’s almost techno”, 2010) and more

The Italian „just another Afro-Grind band” Mombu feat. Dario Fo in Paradiribiriparadiribombidamdambum
Dario Fo (born 1926) is an Italian actor-playwright, comedian, singer, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter and recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The latest Mombu album is the Niger. „Niger’ has many meanings, first black in Latin, our mother tongue. It’s not only the color but also the moods and all that is associated with the black. Then it’s the name of a river and an African country. We like all. Mombu ties together all of these similarities. Africa represents for us what we have lost some time, a connection with the land and nature.” There is a Senegalese musician, poet and griot, Mbar Ndiaye, who sings and plays on percussion on the album. In West-Africa the grins are „repository” of the oral tradition.
„The idea was clear, mix afro, jazz, hardcore , metal and noise.”
Tomorrow Mombu plays in Budapest at RNR666 Party at Müszi
with OvO (I – minimal extreme metal) & Paranoiz (H – noise)
In Vodou, Mombu is a loa who stutters and causes heavy rains.
What’s that noise?
Not noise, not metal, not doom, not punk, not rock and roll, there’s a little bit of all these
During the 13 years long story of OvO, the Italian duo made records and shared the stage with, among the others, KK Null, Thurston Moore, Jim O’Rourke, Zeni Geva, Lightning Bolt, Trencher, USA Is A Monster, White Mice, Zu, Murder Junkies, Jarboe, Carla Bozulich…
Their latest album
„primitivism and technology are definitely two key-words for Abisso”
Tomorrow in Budapest at RNR666 Party at Müszi
+ Mombu (I – afro jazz metal) + Paranoiz (H – noise)
