RISE AND FALL – INTO OBLIVION CD. Taking pre-orders!
RISE AND FALL is PUNKMETAL made flesh! Defining it more specifically? Imagine the sound of a cinderblock going through your windshield… A combination of Clevo- and New York-style hardcore (Ringworm, Integrity, Cro-Mags, Leeway) and their love for bands like Black Sabbath, Entombed, Neurosis, Motorhead, Discharge and Celtic Frost. “Into Oblivion” is most definitely one of the hardest, meanest and dirtiest hardcore albums ever to be released in Europe ! “Into Oblivion” RISE AND FALL's second album has been recorded at CCR Studios (Vincent Amen Ra) and mixed by Kurt Ballou @ God City Studios and artwork has been created by Jacob Bannon.
The street date is December 13 but you can pre-order the CD now to get it before everyone else does. We're also offering a special package deal with both the CD and a limited PUNKMETAL T-shirt for only € 20.00. This shirt will be limited to only 75 and once they're gone, they're gone forever! The LP version will be out on February 11th, 2006 but we should have some copies already available for the Reflections Fest in Holland on January 28th, 2006.
RISE AND FALL will play a record release show on November 24 at The Frontline, Ghent , Belgium. Together with their friends from Turn The Screw, Officer Jones And His Patrol Car Problems, Reproach, Restless Youth and Amen Ra. Start is at 7.00 PM. Be there early. Punkmetal will reign!
Pre-order the CD or Package Deal in our online store.

BLACKLISTED – …THE BEAT GOES ON. CD out now!
The beat goes on...Whether it's with their infectious BLOW DUDES parts, hardcore urgency, or uniquely powerful lyrics, the true grit of BLACKLISTED will move you unlike any other present day hardcore band. BLACKLISTED pick up the torch that contemporary legends American Nightmare once proudly carried. Merging a violence, honesty, and emotional outpouring into one untamable and inspiring hardcore machine. Those who listened to "We're Unstoppable" CD Collection (Refections2005) have witnessed this power first hand.
BLACKLISTED "...The Beat Goes On" was painstakingly engineered by Jim Siegel @ The Outpost (Blood For Blood, Give Up The Ghost) and designed by BRLSQ (Consolidated Skates). "...The Beat Goes On" is their collective life story of urban emotional survival. Comprised of 13 contemporary hardcore anthems, "...The Beat Goes On" celebrates the triumph, underdog determination, and real struggle that is undeniably Philadelphia by definition. Proving once again that BLACKLISTED are a true hardcore beacon and beating heart. A symbol of strength and hope for this cold and unforgiving world.
Order the CD in our online store.

What the critics say on FACE TOMORROW, DOOMRIDERS,
DEAD HEARTS and NO TURNING BACK
FACE TOMORROW – 03/02/05 DVD
FACE TOMORROW's DVD “ LIVE 03/02/2005 ” is out now! FACE TOMORROW have basically done nothing but playing shows and playing MORE shows. On the 2nd of February 2005 , in their hometown Rotterdam , the band recorded a live DVD in front of 800+ friends. The result of this 11 angled camera filmed event is to be seen on the band's first ever released DVD Beautiful deluxe digipack packaging w/ softcover slipcase!. Also included are interviews and video's, including the brand new video for “My World Within” which is already on rotation on MTV and is shown on various TV channels across Europe .
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: After “For Who You Are” and “The Closer You Get”, two very successful releases my favourit european bands comes up with a brand new DVD!!! What can I say, I really like the guys from FACE TOMORROW and their music, this DVD called “LIVE 03/02/2005” is a great presentation of everything these five friends from rotterdam stand in for! Great music, great shows, great lyrics, …this DVD contains a complete live-set played in Nighttown / Rotterdam on the 3.2. 2005 infront of tons of people, a very nice and honest 5 minute movie about the band including some interviews with the band-members, some videoclips and an interesting photo gallery. The Sound and Camerawork on the live-set is amazing, pure emo/indie/rock entertainment!!! This is a must for every FACE TOMORROW fan!!! Score: 10/10. – Trueside Music.
Order the DVD and get the CDEP for free!

DOOMRIDERS – BLACK THUNDER CD
A stellar lineup featuring Nate Newton (Converge, Old Man Gloom), along with longtime friends Jebb Riley (There Were Wires, Disappearer), Chris Pupecki (Cast Iron Hike), and Chris Bevalaqua (Hallraker) form DOOMRIDERS. The demon child of their collective unhealthy obsession with Classic Rock, Hardcore, and Skateboarding, DOOMRIDERS are a rare beast in today's music world. Their soulful, no frills approach conjures the spirits of Thin Lizzy, Entombed, Motörhead and damn near every evil in between. Making DOOMRIDERS approach one hell of a rebellious and exciting musical ride.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: “ Really, let ups are few and far between: rather than allow the listener to recover from brain-bludgeoning bulldozers like ‘Ride Or Die' , Doomriders simply keep the pedal to the metal, producing some finely titled standouts in the process. ‘Deathbox' , ‘Drag Them Down' and, most particularly, ‘Fuck This Shit' do everything you'd expect them to, titles considered. They're Thin Lizzy gone mad-for-hardcore, Led Zeppelin with a sense of mu'fucking metal humour “ Drownedinsound.com

DEAD HEARTS – NO LOVE, NO HOPE MCD
DEAD HEARTS play hardcore with conviction: pushing the genre forward, yet still embodying the passion and urgency that defines its true spirit. “No Love, No Hope” is an unprecedented hardcore record. This highly anticipated follow-up to their self -titled CDep finds the band with darker concepts forged from regret, loss and most of all, hope. Introspection and self realization drive these 7 songs so anthemic, that the listener would believe that Buffalo could be anywhere! There will be a limited one-time pressing on 12” coming later. In the meantime, Round 2 Records just released the “No Love, No Hope” on limited vinyl in the US . Go pick up the CD at your local record store or urge them to order it for you, or, make it easy on yourself and get it directly at the Reflections online-store or from all the great online-mailorders worldwide!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: “ Seven songs full of nihilism and disappointment about everyday life with lyrics located somewhere between desperate hopelessness and (self)destructive courage to fight. All of this fits perfectly to the rocking oldschool/newschool mix, which blends bands like the Suicide File, old Modern Life Is War and Comeback Kid. 'No love, no hope' is one of those unbelievably intense records, which unfortunaltely have become very rare since the 'Unbroken-Era“ – Hardboiled.de

NO TURNING BACK – RISE FROM THE ASHES MCD
One of Hollands most succesful and hardest working bands releases the follow up to their last album “Damage Done” on Reflections Records this summer!. NO TURNING BACK dug even deeper in the search for their definition of true hardcore and these new songs sound harder, meaner and more aggressive then ever before! NO TURNING BACK never made any concessions to anyone and it shows. This is pure, uncompromising and pissed off hardcore! Pick up their brandnew record “Rise From The Ashes” now!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: “These five Dutch boys play NYHC exactly the way it should be, so expect fast songs, cutting guitars, blistering breakdowns, extremely pissed-off sounding vocals and a rhythm-section, that will blow you right against the wall. Compared to their last album I'd say NO TURNING BACK sound way rawer and even more in your face, so I guess fans of the fantastic recent Allegiance album will enjoy this just as much as those, who love legends such as Judge and Killing Time.” Taketherisk.net
