"Fuck hardcore, fuck your scene and fuck you". After all so many old favorite bands of mine disappointed me and became dull, boring and predictable as they grew old. Before listening to it, and eventhough the 3 samples were pretty damn promising, I acknowledged a reasonable possibility that I didn't like it *THAT* much. A little bit later, 3 new tracks were streaming at Big fucking surprise! They were sounding more metal, even atmospheric at times, but yet it was still premium extreme hardcore material. KB would be ready to release a new album. That was major fucking news.Ī few months ago, the alarm rung again. One of their guitar players, Damien told me that he was playing with KICKBACK and that the band was alive and rounding up new material. And then I went to see ARKHON INFAUSTUS the first time they played live in Athens (excellent performance, gay gig promoter). It left us begging for more with a more extreme, violent, fucked up approach than "Forever War" (one of my two all-time favorite albums together with SLAYER's "Seasons In The Abyss"). It's been 10 years since KICKBACK's excellent "Les 150 Passions Meurtrieres" mini-CD. Rumors, facts and friction, violence, confrontation, loathing of the music business, exteme music at its finest. Both of them have been controversial since the beginning, with outspoken frontmen that meant what they said. I've seen both of them live and got to know some of their members during my studies in Paris from 1992 to 1997. Two bands had the biggest impact on me and my perception of underground music and aesthetics.
