VEPSSKAYA MILA - Era of change (2016)

GENRE: Crust, Metal, Hardcore Punk

FFO: Rise And Fall, Converge, The Secret

I don't really know anything about this band as there is way too much Russian going on (Republic of Karelia to be specific). I do know that Вепсская Миля - Эра изменений translates in English to Vepsskaya Mila - Era Of Change, and I do know that the two releases they have on Bandcamp are fucking fantastic. A little on the short side, being only 3 & 4 songs each, but I'll be damned if every song isn't great. Grab the newest stuff at the Zippy link below and follow the Bandcamp link if you want to check out the other one.
