Censored-X (formerly: Ray Pissed) from Munich play fast, English hardcore punk that can definitely hold its own against big names like the CASUALTIES. What the band offers live at their concerts is a full load of energy. I have already experienced the 5 Munich guys live twice, one of which was a show together in a small youth center outside of Munich! The band knows how to stir up even the smallest venues, and besides that, the guys are decent people who distance themselves from any gray area dives and events, which is why I absolutely did not understand the fuss around the former band name "Ray Pissed" from various people in the Munich area! Translated, the name means nothing other than "sour and pissed off"; if you wrote "Rapist," it could also mean rapist! I seriously wonder if people who spend all day with various interpretations are not just at risk of completely losing sight of reality! The scene is devouring itself and getting hung up on such discussions. Everyone should just open their eyes and actually do something against right-wing open organizers and bands. This is where we need to start. Guys, I know you've long since moved on from the discussion, but it's just a disgrace that today's punk scene no longer understands provocation. The only things the guys in the band are raping are their guitars, and they do that rightly well! The present demo tape was recorded in early 2012 and includes 6 songs. "Stay in bed," "You can't do it like us," "Full steam ahead," "Blowing off steam," "Vendetta," and "Soldiers" are all songs that definitely play in the upper league. My absolute recommendation is the song "Vendetta," simply genius what the guys are playing here. The two guitarists play perfectly together; I would almost say it runs live as perfectly as on record! The voice is also very fitting for the music style of Censored-X, even though it comes across as a bit too shrill for me in the long run! But here we are again at the matter of taste, and you can tell that I come more from the snot punk corner ;-)! By the way, the guys were back in the studio in May; I'm curious about what awaits us there. I will get my hands on that part.
