Stheno ‎– Damnation Is Forever

Good Guys Go Grind continues its adventure into the deepest parts of Greek mythology, booze and grindcore bands :) Today we’re listening to the first release of young Greek band Stheno. 
These guys decided to start off with vinyl EP (of course, it’s very popular nowadays, but still, right off the bat with vinyl, that’s pretty rare). And the name of this release is Damnation is Forever! It was supported by Scull Crasher label (also from Greece), alongside with three other labels. 
One noticeable feature about Greek scene is black metal influences and attention to great art covers. Sometimes I wonder if there’s a whole organization of artists and designers who create for Greek bands. 
On the cover we can see Medusa’s head, well, on the first look, but turns out it’s a head of her sister – Stheno. Guys from the band really knocked it out with inner parts of this release telling us about this creature with snake hairs, so there’s really no point wondering about it since it’s all been explained already by the band itself.
Anyway, let’s move on to the music, obviously. 5 tracks full of metallic grindcore / crust, sometimes they have some black metal parts and samples from different movies, and that is, I should note, is a very good way to keep your music fresh and interesting. While listening to these 5 tracks I immediately imagine battle of the old gods from the Olympic, don’t know why, but it’s just happening to me.
Good Guys Go Grind will remember Stheno and we will look forward to their new stuff they’ll come up with.

Jagernaut / Zvarna (Scull Crasher, Studio From The Down, Screaming Victims)


And again I have in my possession the release of pleasant and heartwarming music, music that is played on golden harps and brings peace. Just kidding! Right now I’m going to listen to one of the recent releases of Greek label Scull Crasher!
So here I am listening to the split of two Greek not-so-well-known bands to me, Jagernaut and Zvarna. When I saw a duration of the first track I thought to myself “they play sludge… 1.51 is not a grindcore, hehehe!” But then I realized that everything goes as planned, another 4 tracks 4 minutes long, this is what Jagernaut presents to us here! They say that they perform crust-grind, but my ears tell me that these Greek guys clearly perform grindcore as it is! More American-style grindcore. They have everything – relentlessly evil vocals, noisy guitars and extreme speed! But still one thing that saddens me – I wanted to hear more of it! 
Then we have Zvarna on this split, and that’s a complete opposite situation – not so grindcore stuff, more like crustpunk, very aggressive one! Everyone put your mohawks up and break your bones in the moshpit! As far as I get it, this is the first significant release for this Greek band. Well, I can definitely say, they started pretty good and got it right! They presented 6 tracks, a little more than their friends from Jagernaut, hehe!)
Overall, Greek punk\grind scene becomes more and more attractive. I am sure this split will definitely find its listener throughout a whole army of grindmaniacs, the music here is good!
