Alpinist

Alpinist are a four-piece hardcore/crust punk band from Munster, Germany that formed in 2007. These guys play an incredibly dark and intense style of hardcore that borders on screamo territory at times. I don't know if they're still active, since they haven't put out any material in five years. However, their two LP's are absolutely killer. If that really is the end of Alpinist, they've left with a flawless discography. Plus, their members are now active in two of the best hardcore bands active today, which are Jungbluth and Svffer. Both of those bands are already up on the blog, so if you haven't heard them, definitely be sure to check them out as well. Enjoy.

Jungbluth

Jungbluth are a three-piece hardcore/screamo band from Münster, Germany that formed in 2012. If you're looking for something passionate and abrasive, you don't need to look much farther. These guys tear through each song with such intensity that you'd think these were all live recordings. In their earlier material, there's a slight crust influence, but they've gotten more "melodic" (for lack of a better word) as they've progressed, especially on their most recent album. They incorporate tons of unique and angular guitar work that could almost be compared to an amped-up and very distorted Q And Not U. In addition, they've got pounding bass and drums topped by throat-shredding vocals, which are more in the realm of Dangers and Birds in Row, though even then the comparison isn't really that precise. As far as aggressive music goes, this band is definitely one to note in recent years. Not only are they bludgeoning and intense, but actually craft some interesting songs and explore new sounds. That's about all one could want from a band, is it not? Enjoy.
