Alpinist [DE] †
ALPINIST is a dark hardcore four-piece from Münster, Germany and their sound is crushing yet beautiful - heavy and atmospheric crust- and post-hardcore, bringing to mind the likes of FROM ASHES RISE, FALL OF EFRAFA, early ENVY or spanish bands like EKKAIA, MADAME GERMEN etc.. They’re definitely an apocalyptic journey of sound.

AA73. Alpinist / Masakari - Split LP
ALPINIST is a dark hardcore four-piece from Münster, Germany. "lichtlaerm/minus.mensch" is crushing yet beautiful - heavy and atmospheric crust- and post-hardcore, bringing to mind the likes of FROM ASHES RISE, FALL OF EFRAFA, early ENFY etc.. They’re definitely an apocalyptic journey of sound.
MASAKARI got finally a new record! Close your eyes and imagine that His Hero is Gone and Amebix got together and had a child… got it? Ok, now imagine that that child grows up in a dank room full of teenage angst, listening to nothing but Death Side and Disfear records until he is 21 years-old. Now open your eyes and what you have is Masakari, a crust punk band from Cleveland, Ohio.

AA56. Alpinist - Minus Mensch LP
After their Demo and their Split LP with Finisterre, this is the third release by this outstanding band from Münster / Germany. These four young people have played countless shows in europe the last two years and should be well known for all those into contemporary melodic HC/Crust. Definetly one of the best bands in this genre coming from germany at the moment. I expeceted a lot from their new recordings, but what they deliver here exceeded all expectations. An almost fourty minutes thunderstorm in 11 acts, paired with a voice of dispair and accompanied by blistering melodies.
