Itseinhon Kusisella Alttarilla

RESCÜE CAT Unveil Details of “Flesh & Weapon” Debut EP

Posted in: Int. News, News. Leave a comment

Italian hardcore stalwarts RESCÜE CAT will release their debut EP “Flesh & Weapon” on February 14th, 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

The first single, “End Me, Coward”, is now streaming HERE.

This first track hones the same intensity of its thrashy riffing and muscular drumming inside its lyrics too, delving into themes of gendered violence and artist-fan abusive power dynamics. “End me, Coward” doesn’t relent or let up while pushing for something fierce and heavy within Italian hardcore, paying homage to both modern hardcore and 90’s metal tradition.

Tracklist:

1. Enter the sewer trap
2. Who’s the killer?
3. Soft/quiet/cruel (ft. Jorelia)
4. End me, coward
5. Malice practice (ft. Norman Bates)
6. My own demise
7. Mother to no one (ft. Mayoulivetoburyme)
8. Flesh & weapon

Founded in Lombardy in early 2023 and now hailing from different parts of Italy, RESCÜE CAT is an energetic hardcore band bursting with attitude and… love! Starting off as friends in the local scene, they’re now ready to make their mark as one of the fresh faces of Italian hardcore. With performances at major events like Venezia Hardcore and Built to Blast already under their belts, they’ve developed a distinct style that mixes intense, emotional lyrics, tight compositions, and dreamy imagery.

In eight visceral tracks, the band pours out their passion for fast riffs and emotion-packed lyrics. “Flesh & Weapon” is a concept that dives into themes like shame and love, religious guilt, motherhood and girlhood, body horror, and trauma, all driven by furious blast beats and impassioned deliveries. Each track weaves a haunting narrative, blending dreamy imagery with raw, unfiltered anger. RESCÜE CAT aims to carve out a unique spot in the hardcore scene, offering anyone feeling isolated an unflinching look and a crutch to hang on.

Preorders:

Line-up:
Vittoria “Vicky” Brandoni – Vocals
Ruggero Pelà – Guitar
Alessandro “Sandrino” Biesuz – Bass
Gianluca “Lelas” De Rosa – Drums

The beginnings of the Białystok band HERMH date back to 1993.

In 1994, the band recorded and released their first demo “Oremus Peccatum (Refaim)“, and a year later another demo was released – “Crying Crowns Of Trees” (featuring Adam “Nergal” Darski). Both demos were included on the compilation “Echo” (1995). In 1996, “Taran” was released, the first studio album by the Białystok band. In the same year, the band signed a record contract with the renowned Polish label Pagan Records and in 1997 released the album “Angeldemon“, which was a big step forward in relation to previous productions. Unfortunately, in 1998 the band broke up, and vocalist Bart resumed his activity in 2003, with musicians from bands such as Abused Majesty and Asgaard joining the band.

After reactivation, the band led by Bartek Krysiuk released EPs “Before the Eden – Awaiting the Fire” (2004) and “After the Fire – Ashes” (200), DVD “The Spiritual Nation Born” (2008) and albums: “Eden’s Fire” (2006) and “Cold Blood Messiah” under the banner of the renowned label Mystic Production. In their work, the group refers to mythology and the history of vampirism and mysticism. During their activity, the band HERMH played many live shows, including with Vader, Behemoth, Asgaard, Closterkeller, Artrosis or Virgin Snatch and Blindead. In 2005, the band performed on the small stage of the prestigious Metalmania festival. 

After the last concert performances in 2013, HERMH went into hibernation. 

After 30 years, Polish label Via Nocturna is going to re-release the cult demo by Podlasie black metallers HERMH. “Oremus Peccatum (Refaim)” and will be released as a 6-panel digipak CD and a strictly limited to 44 copies white cassette. The music for this release was re-mastered at Hertz Studio by the Wiesławski brothers in 2006. Diana Sawicka from What the Moon Brings is responsible for the new graphic design of the reissue. A occasional T-shirt is also available for sale. The premiere is today December 13, 2024. Orders can be placed in the label’s online store (https://tinyurl.com/oremus-peccatum)

Following the release of their superb single ‘Not Dead Yet’ in October, rock supergroup Envy Of None are back with the follow up, ‘Under The Stars’. Speaking on the single, songwriter and bassist Andy Curran said “Alf & I toiled over this one for months and really felt, even at its rough demo stage that we had something special. We left a ton of space for Maiah in the verses and there’s such a cool mood shift when the chorus hits. Joe Vitale’s drum track and percussion added an almost trance like vibe and the icing on the cake, is an unmistakable “Alex” guitar solo. I’m a romantic at heart and the message here is universal.  Soul mates, “two against the world!”

The single is accompanied by a stunning new video created by Olivier Boscovitch.

Envy of None are busy in the studio finishing off their next album and the follow up to 2022’s self-titled debut, expected in Spring 2025. Praise for Envy of None:

  • Prog Magazine– “an engaging album that rewards repeat listens”
  • Record Collector – 4* – “Rich in its creativity”
  • Rock Hard (FR) – 8/10 – Album of the Month
  • Rock Hard (DE) – 8/10 – “the tender voice of Maiah Wynne has a certain something… the music delivers strong melodies”

Envy Of None are:
Alf Annibalini – Guitar, Keyboards, Programming
Andy Curran – Bass Guitar, Background Vocals, Guitar, Programming
Alex Lifeson- Guitar, Mandola, Oud, Programming
Maiah Wynne – Lead Vocals, Background Vocals, Keyboards
