After all these years a new album will be released in september. Old stuff and unreleased tracks produced by my one of favourite bands ever, the pioneers of Metal-Rap. Saprize were the best of many great, great bands coming out of Bremen in the 90s. They played their last show in 1997 at the Schlachthof in Bremen.

Here's a video from that night:

SAPRIZE INFO: "1993 – the year of »Judgement Night«, the year, when Punk broke. A bunch of young fellows, mostly stemming from the Bremen Hardcore-Scene, where they spent years shaping their minds and skills playing ultra-fast Hardcore music, discovered their common love for HipHop. Boldly mixing Slayer-Riffs, big bad beats and a great laugh (occasionally at themselves), Uzi, Ben, Gregcore, The Menace und Da Romeo became pioneers of the new style: the combination of Metal and Rap. Taking the best of both worlds, they offered an energetic stage performance and an adventurous musical approach, channeling the new knowledge of beats and samples through the depths of their eclectic record collections, thus creating a style of their own. They were the punks among the hiphoppers. After their debut, recorded only two months after the band was started, »Alwaysacutahead«, released on a small indie label two months before (!) „Judgement Night" came out, the German branch of Rough Trade signed the band before anybody else could. Read the rest of this exciting story and listen to a couple of tracks on their MySpace
