Sinat Hinam - st

I came across to this band on Giora's FTP blog a few weeks ago. It's a great blog full of israeli hc punk, crust, grind, powerviolence, thrash, punk rock stuff, you can find almost any band from israel in there. Now done with the advertisement.

שנאת חינם (Sinat Hinam / Hatred) is a metal influenced crust band from Israel. Formed around '05 and split up around '08, if i'm not mistaken. This cd is released in '07, includes 7 songs and is around 25 minutes. All the songs are in hebrew, which is a huge plus for the band in my opinion. Bands who sing in their native language have always been more interesting. Their music is far from punk but mostly crust metal, especially the guitars and the vocals are heavily black metal influenced, like some other stenchcore bands, but the music is not as "swampy" as stenchcore. Some of the influences of the band are; "Axegrinder, Amebix, Wretched, Nerorgasmo, Dir Yassin, Napalm Death, D.S.-13, Motörhead, Hellshock, etc". The band members describe their music as "a neandertalic caveman crushing the angel of death's head on the ruins of the jewish temple in jerusalem".

Dir Yassin - Discography

Dir Yassin is a hardcore punk / thrashcore band from Israel. Formed in '97, by the well known people in the scene. Some bands these people have played before are; Urban Skate Fanatics, Wackout, Shma Israel, Public Domain, Ethos, Useless ID, Nekhei Naatza and Negative Impact. But Dir Yassin is actually the name of a Palestinian village near Jerusalem, which was invaded by jews in 1948, and there was a massacre. So the band chose that name "to bring the sublimed bloody facts about Zionism and Israel's history back into its collective consciousness." For more info about the massacre check here: "Deir Yassin Remembered", for more info about the band check here: Dir Yassin. This discography cd is re-released in '05 by tofu guerilla records, by the way.

This is a female fronted hardcore punk band from Tel Aviv / Israel. Not much different from the bands in europe, and israeli scene seems to pump good bands always. Too bad they split up, i hope the members form or have formed other bands, i don't know much about the band, if you do please share them in the comment box.
