see the post below...
hardcore 2009 is not capable of setting new landmarks on its own. instead, we hype some copycats that try to get the "ILL BLOOD" sound straight or record the "DIVISION ONE CHAMPS" inch for the gazillionst time since 1996. yeah, that is sooo cool. and the kids will go nuts for it. well, if some lukewarm appearances of bands, that lost their connection to the scene years ago makes you wanna stagedive and high five... great. but you should start wondering, why the bands did such great records back in the days?! and if that won't make you think twice about the above mentioned, you should try and ask yourself this: why keep the CRO-MAGS a.k.a. JJ and the FVK keep coming over the pond, and why do they get less attention each time they come over here? AND WHY DID YOU NOT GO AND SEE BLOODCLOT WHEN THEY DID THEIR EUROPEAN TOUR LAST YEAR? we are stuck in the past. and opening up for something new means walking on thin ice. well, you won't get scene credit for wearing a bloodclot shirt, i guess. that's why.

FWH FEST + KICKBACK
being part of the FWH-family is great. even greater was the 2009 edition of the FWH-festival, held in Essen. we met some good friends and made some new ones, too. thx to Rico and the whole staff for being super nice, once again.
there was one major disturbance, though. we really don't know why, but are the people that go to shows so fucked in the head, that they need one hundred square meters to bust their moves in the pit while the rest of the audience watches the bands from the hall? and why do we forget all about the classic acts like 100 DEMONS or HATEBREED etc. those acts have been covered that day - no reaction whatsoever?!
when we got involved in the hardcore scene fifteen years ago, we checked the roots. and we tried to give credit where it's due. today it seems, that the scene lacks a good amount of subtantiality. no offense here, but what is such a fest all about, when we witness some kids go from DJ BOBO straight to DJ TOMEKK and then to some crappy and overly hyped hardcore acts. but everything fits perfectly together, as long as you can still wear your new era cap, right???
we as a band do not believe in the scene as it shows its sedated face on every other event, nowadays. we are fed of brainless fashionistas at a (btw. really nice) D-MONEY gig, who only care for their vans and their lumberjack shirts. we are fed of stupid assholes and their clichés at a random bollo-showcase, too. all we see is images. but where is the real anger, the real and honest enthusiasm? sometimes it looks like we forgot about the things, this scene used to be so great for. don't be a whimp and do your spinkicks approx. 25 meters away from the stage during a PLATOON set. go upfront and be true to yourself. you like it, then show it. you don't like it, leave the scene and stop pretending.
yes, this statement could be understood as a wake up call. it could also be understood as a lame proof, that we are a bunch of aging and never to be satisfied coots. we don't care. the truth is - we are in this for the real deal. no images, no shit. if you can't be bothered to check the story behind this scene, if you are too fucked in the head, that you can't see why it is crucial to stay true to yourself and the scene, then please... be kind and leave us alone (and by us we mean all our good friends, that keep us being involved in HC 2009). we rather stand alone, than being a part of a movement, that neither knows where it comes from, nor where it is heading.
and yes. for all of you spinkicking faggots. if you really want to be tough and all that shit. come to duisburg on june 13th and watch some even older coots than us being fucking REAL!

this is what we are... this is where we come from
back in the days, all of us used to listen to MACHINE HEAD'S "burn my eyes" over and over again.
so we decided to honour this fantastic piece of work with our own interpretation of a metal shirt classic.
get it on FWH-FEST (May, 2nd) or get in touch via myspace.

hard reign
i am awake but i keep my eyes wide shut
'cause when i open my eyes
another nightmare begins
feel the heavy burden pushing down - down on me
a nation of neglect
an absence of mind
tortured by this rage inside i resist this hard reign
crushing your supremacy in the end i won't be beat
empty promises they served me
cracking heads on me
it's a vicious path to get past
this self-destructive state
no more mental dead end streets
the only solution you offered me
throughout all these years
indefensible conditions that eat my soul
standards and principles you set
just watered down
i'm creeping
i'm starving
i'm bleeding
i still live
a tortured man in a tortured world
goin through punishment
this hard reign pulling strings
so as long as this state remains
my suffering keeps repeating

test of time
this life's a test of time
you had to endure
too many letdowns in the past years
you're gasping for life
fear the hands of fate grabbing for your neck
you feel the sands of the hourglass
are running thin for you
this cruel world wants to see you fail at this test of time
people say life is just a game - it is a war
you have to suffer and return harder than before
how much does it take
fo reclaim what once was yours
follow your animal instincts
and take it back where it belongs
all this shattered goals
all these broken dreams
reinforce your will your strength
rise up and you will pass this test of time
people say life is just a game - it is a war
you have to suffer and return harder than before
test of time
suffer - harder - growing - stronger
it's a neverending cycle - a test of time
