*** "LIKE AN EAGLE, THE PATRIOTIC FORCE STORMING YOUR TOWN, BRINGING ANOTHER REVOLUTION TO FREE OUR PEOPLE AND OUR LAND!!!" ***

YOUNGBLOOD - "PATRIOTIC FORCE"
("Strong Survive Records"; CD):
And here it is, the more or less brandnew record release of the American WP R.A.C. band of the name of YOUNGBLOOD, respectively here's the review done by me of this record. For all what I know this songs here primarly had been recorded for a split with a (I would bet also) radical if not extreme right wing band ENDLESS PRIDE (or 'ENDLESS PAIN'... who knows...), but don't ask me what ever happened so that instead of this split now this solely YOUNGBLOOD record saw the light of the day. (But I don't care about it, because so I bought it, hm, and that I would maybe haven't done with the split at all, so it'S all good and fine with me, for sure.) Okay, I've wrtitten already enough about the band YOUNGBLOOD in the review of their precursor release to this one here called "OLD SCHOOL PRIDE", so I think I can spare me more or less every word more about it. If ya now cry about how I could review records of such a band, ha, take it like it is. We don't have to discuss what a giant piece of totally mentally degenrated and intellectual incestuous bullshit this whole WP/NS 14/88 crap is and we also don't have to discuss anything else about it, but take it like it is, I review the music for the music and so it's the case also here (even I won't say yes to this bullshit weltanschauung in any way) and what you now do with it that you have to decide for yourself. Hm, maybe it's comparable to CONFLICT or CRASS, what means that you have to decide what 'to do with them' also for yourself. (Oh, oh, oh, to mention CRASS and CONFLICT in a review of a record of a band like YOUNGBLOOD and this also in a way of a comparison, uh, I think I'm not making any friends with this in some certain parts of "the scene" or better "the scenes", haha;-)...!!!) So, okay, ah, two things left: 1.) This record is more political than "OLD SCHOOL PRIDE", at least a little bit anyhow, but the lyrics are pretty good stuff and also not too outspoken at all. (If ya wouldn't know about the background of YOUNGBLOOD you wouldn't notice a WP 14 connection, so calm down all you PC nerds, no really 'evil' stuff here and now, haha;-)...) 2.) Like "OLD SCHOOL PRIDE" I also decided to buy this one here, hm, but I think with my few bucks our proud aryans won't be able to start the White Revolution and lift 'our' Master Race on any throne of evolution or something like this. I think you got what I wanted to say, right?!? And that should be enough, yeahr, and so now onwards to this record and its review. Here we go: Released by the end of 2010 (at least over here in Germany it was at this time out) on a to me pretty unknown record label, "STRONG SURVIVE RECORDS" (...), this CD gives us five brandnew songs and three older songs, two from their "OLD SCHOOL PRIDE" smasher ("HOOLIGAN" and "WHERE MY HEART BELONGS") and also "TATTOOS AND STORIES", and all older traks are rerecorded and redone alternative versions of the well-known songs that hold really some fine suprises in store, like Country guitars, etc. pp., yeahr, so that it is all  in all really a good package. The record starts off with the title track "PATRIOTIC FORCE", and that's a hell of a fast and hard forceful and raging forward storming slasher!!! Fast paced guitar riffing, bulky and beefy pounding drumming and harsh bass playing, all crowned by the rough and tough vocals, and cultivated by some damn good and cool arranged changes in the architecture of the song (rhythm, pace, mood) and by some fucking great Keyboard sound sequences/leads that are spirited by some few Black Metal influences (ice cold and sinister melody, like you know it from at least the good Black Metal bands past and present out there), and that are really giving this song his stand-alone character. Really outstanding stuff!!! Btw the most hatefilled track on this one here, and a damn great kick off of this record, for sure!!! Next ones is the heavy stomper "LIKE AN EAGLE". Thundering drumming, a heavy crunchy bass (that also kicks the song off solo), pretty melodic vocals, a great refrain/chorus, damn marking guitar riffing that will spear through your ears into your head and brain and won't leave this place after made it a home, great guitar leads and an just awesome solo part, mercyless forward into war stomping rhythm (also with some clever done, short and quick and well-folating varities of it), and sheer force, a true anthem that you need to have and the lyrics are really great!!! After this "ANOTHER REVOLUTION" is breaking through the silence. Again, damn melodic vocals, and this song is probably a turn in the road of this (only much too short) record. After the angry slasher "PATRIOTIC FORCE" with a strong Skinhead R.A.C. battle song flair and spirit to it, the next one "LIKE AN EAGLE" with his already pretty clear change of this just pure Skinhead battle sound then finally "ANOTHER REVOLUTION" is 'nothing' 'else' but pure and dirty street-raised and Working Class bred Rock & Roll music, just listen to this pure and hard rockin' guitar riffing, the incredible tight and fat and forceful rhythm work, damn it, the whole rhythm section is snorting and puffing forward like a herd of angry and mad buffaloes, everything in their way milling over and flatting down, and the through and through anthemic and melodic vocals really give this statement of a song its crown, and the 'flute' (?) solo is really something totally suprising to this song, I bet that you wouldn't expected something like this coming for ya. Absolutely great, a larger-than-life anthem, and also pretty strong and good lyrics. "LIKE AN EAGLE" and "ANOTHER REVOLUTION" are really my total favorites (musically and lyrically) here on this one, stand-alone shit!!! Just pure platinum!!! The next one is "WHAT I'VE GOT", a 'proud-of-my-heritage-and-proud-of-who-I-am' hymn against the mainstream culture and society and with some 'words' about all the illegal aliens (...) that shall be out there... Anyway, at least in some points they aren't that much wrong at the end of the day, just take a walk through a large city near you with some open eyes, but okay, getting aware of it is one thing, what you realize as your consequences out of it is another thing. Btw, I think that's their most outspoken song on this one here, there you get it all at best, all what YOUNGBLOOD is really about (and what they've never hided anyway)... But okay, anyhow, "WHAT I'VE GOT" again is a pure and through and through raging and forceful Rock & Roll song, let us call it Streetrock & Roll or again Working Class Rock & Roll, it doesn't matter. Listen to the 'no-prisoners-taking' rhythm and the bulldozer stomping pace of the song, the guitar riffing is again just a saw that's making it's way through your head to leave its mark on you. Again also great diverse and varying powerful as well as damn melodic and catchy vocals, and some nice modifications of the vocas give this song also a pretty nice ('Southern') Metal spirt to it. Check it out!!! Next one is the last one of the new songs, called "CHEERS TO YOU". This song is coming with a strong Southern Rock influence as well as strong Hard Rock and Rock & Roll influences again, too, and if ya like 'newer' Confederacy R.A.C. bands like DEFINITE HATE and 13 KNOTS (yes, I know about them and I also know them, crucify me, haha;-)...) you will love this one, because YOUNGBLOOD are giving us a perfect demonstration of how this style should be played exclusively after all. A guitar lead somewhere between Country and Southern Rock, pounding drums, roasting guitar work, and a bass work that's really casting concrete, all made round by hard yet melodic vocals, great refrain parts, cool nice quick and floating changes of the rhythm and the pace, yeahr, again, that's just an awesome great track!!! After this one the three already mentioned older songs of them are coming, all played in acousic alternative versions (with cool and great worked out Country notes in it, and also some few 'mariner-music' impressions), and I love especially the new version of "TATTOOES AND STORIES", but also the new versions of "HOOLIGAN" and espcially "WHERE MY HEART BELONGS" (I love this track, musically and lyrically) are just great stuff, damn it, awesome!!! One of the very, very best R.A.C. records (even it's WP R.A.C.) to come out for and/or since years, trust me!!! Even R.A.C. isn't really suiting the music of YOUNGBLOOD since "OLD SCHOOL PRIDE" anymore, (radical or extreme) right wing Working Class Rock & Roll is a far better way to describe them today to the interested listener. Lyriclly they deal with views on the situation of their country and its society, sing about a patriotic uprise for the benefit of the nation, about being Working Class and proud of it, about their heritage and their mates, and about all that what really matters in the end when all the 'political statues' fall and the altars of all this political and ideological 'messiahs' burn at day zero, and all done not so 'evil' ;-) at all and also all done really fucking good. Thumbs up!!! The production sound is really good, earthy and dirty but also pretty clean and clear so that you get all what they are doing here, and the artwork looks just awesome, great work!!! That these guys damn know how to play their instruments and how to write songs should be clear after all!!! This here is the complete package, and if I could decide for you then damn buy this one here. Awesome!!! Cheers & Oi! (10 of 10 points)
Again, I'm sorry guys, but somehow I just can't find their MySpace site anymore on the web, or had it been deleted/removed...?!?
Now you get some clips to the songs of the "PATRIOTIC FORCE" record, it will be the videos to all the regular new tracks of this great piece of right wing music (of the radical/extreme kind) so that you can listen to every single track (maybe I find some videos to the bonus tracks as well on the web, we will see) and after listening to this songs you better make sure to order and buy this masterpiece, damn it, and here we go:
