Time goes by, and previous success fades away in the past. The only thing helps, there is always a room for something upcoming! Let’s check the updates from our heroes right away.

1. Gaap Kvlt – Kingdom (2021)

🇲🇦 We start with Moroccan project Gaap Kvlt. In late September, the new piece of its art has come to the world.

Strange electronic soundscapes are closing by, and we are somewhere in the middle of this terrain. The essence of powers, somehow followed by the sensation of loneliness and timelessness, is poured into each composition, massive and thick. There are pretty long tracks fitting an ultimate trip if you desire one.

2. The Beths – Auckland, New Zealand, 2020 (2021)

🇳🇿 New Zealand’s The Beths are back with the live energy, which was converted into recording last year. As always, bright and upbeat, these songs are crushing one’s apathy and sadness.

Comparing the concert versions with the originally prepared songs, you’ll find a lot of features. Some of them, like clean and balanced sounding, appear in studio versions, while the lives are vivid and more touching.

6. Krzta – Żółć​.​Niszczenie​.​Zgliszcze (2021)

🇵🇱 …And now, to heavier domains. Polish mighty trio KRZTA never loses time. This year, their release is even more toothy than previous ones.

It took almost four years for these guys to reassemble the sound and readjust the ammunition. As a result, this weapon turns to be homing one. It finds a listener’s subconsciousness and attacks it. No chance to escape. Release your fears and inner shouts and howls.
