For the uninitiated, Sonic Wolves was formed in 2012 by drummer Vita (ex-Ufomammut) and bassist/singer Kayt Vigil (ex-Pentagram and ex-The House of Hasselvander), Nico Nigro (ex-Mortuary Drape) who are signed to one of the best labels in the business which is the mighty powerhouse label - Argonauta Records.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">This record has been raised on a steady diet of 1970’s Hard Rock, Proto-Doom, Psych Rock and Stoner Rock with moments of classic Blues Rock sounds. </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">With the band being influenced by bands such as Budgie, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead and Metallica, III is a different beast compared to their previous two albums with Sonic Wolves having a jagged and aggressive frenzied approach where there is a more outlandish sound coming from the band.</span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The album has an abundance of Freakish Psychedelic Rock energy which has a Thrash element coming from the band on the sublime opening tracks of Shapeshifter, O.B.E and Dead To The World. Sonic Wolves bring waves upon SONIC MANIPULATION with a free flowing Prog Rock style that feels remarkably different with a seedy underbelly of extended instrumental rhythms and subtle Fuzz Rock and Garage Rock theatrics. The vocals from Kayt when they do appear are fabulous and soulful as ever but it seems Sonic Wolves are perhaps more focused exploring their musical boundaries and creative talents by playing styles of music we haven’t heard from them before.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">III can be quite TRIPPY and WAY OUT THERE which transports the band to a more Spaced Out Domain but all delivered within the realm of Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Rock with Sonic Wolves including some epic Psychedelic Jams that would make EARTHLESS or NEBULA blush with envy. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Tracks such as Dark Recollection and Heavy Lies The Crown embrace a Doom Rock/Metal philosophy within the lyrics with Kayt’s vocals being Proto-Doom and Classic Rock obsessed with a slight modern day vibe appearing throughout. The album starts to see Sonic Wolves adding waves of modern day Psychedelic Amplifier wizardry within their music which adds a dreamlike Post-Stoner flavour to their music.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The final three tracks of the album The Ten Doors, Won’t Be Their Fool and Gotta Do It Right sees Sonic Wolves add some harsh real life truths especially within The Ten Doors opening sound clip. The music remains gloriously rebellious and allows the band to play their intense blend of Doom, Stoner and Classic Hard Rock swagger with a crazed Garage Rock atmosphere allowing this part of the album to have the most technically impressive grooves on the album.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">III is without doubt Sonic Wolves most dazzling and brilliantly entertaining record to date. This is a different SONIC WOLVES than we last encountered back in 2018 with their last album. They feel more HEAVIER and have provided a huge batch of original sounds whilst paying homage to their musical heroes along the way. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Awesome.

Evoking the molten, sludgy tones and immersive atmosphere of their self-titled debut, Black Pyramid greatly expands upon what worked wonders in the past, then seeks the transcendent path, pushing each element of their alchemistic sound to its unparalleled cosmic conclusion. As stated by Doomed & Stoned editors, "one of the albums doom metal fans can legit look forward to in coming months is the return effort from Black Pyramid, one of the most visionary, commanding, and influential bands of the first two decades of the 21st century." <br /><br />Listen to Black Pyramid's new track Bile, Blame & Blasphemy below.</span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZDRMhz8Dnp4" width="320" youtube-src-id="ZDRMhz8Dnp4"></iframe></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br />Slated for a May 3rd release, “The Paths of Time Are Vast” features Andy Beresky on guitar and vocals, Eric Beaudry on bass, and Andy Kivela on drums. This lineup is now the longest-running incarnation of Black Pyramid, actively gigging and touring since 2018 while honing their collective songcraft and solidifying their onstage chemistry. Working with Justin Pizzoferratu (Dinosaur Jr, Witch, Elder) at Sonelab, the band sought to capture the visceral magic and sonic wizardry of their live performances onto tape, and then embellish in the psychedelic decadence of studio experimentation. The result is equally immense and ethereal, massive and otherworldly, elemental and insubstantial, as much an earthquake as an astral projection. Each song embodies the power trio’s raw energy, atavistic power and impassioned playing, juxtaposing elaborate arrangements with fiery free-form improvisation.<br /> <br />Although past Black Pyramid albums were conceived as collections of stories, this marks the first time an album is written as a single story, as “The Paths of Time Are Vast” relates an epic tale of loss and redemption, death and rebirth, fire and frost. Says frontman Andy Beresky: "This album is your golden ticket to voyage beyond the realms of birth and dead, to take the journey through the many doors of radiant reality and dark dimension, to tread the celestial pathways carved in the carcasses of the stars, and to finally taste the vastness of time and space."<br /><br />The band will make special appearances at Desertfest Berlin and Freak Valley Festival and announce more European shows soon. "The Paths of Time Are Vast" will be available on May 3rd on vinyl, CD and digital through Totem Cat Records, adorned with a stunning artwork from Marald van Haasteren.<br /><br />New album "The Paths of Time Are Vast" - Out May 3rd on Totem Cat Records (vinyl/CD/digital)<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3yaaJWUxkFfphzDjXBI2D_8tN9l1uI4Paj_JWrVwu1ZnF74JpRdUOZ2SD1lH17sC342BQTm-cruFvApf84LGeQZ5GxSshxevqK6K48Wt2XSpFcWrgYO99K-BL5s8F5MFN_N0GsHhy8-tp-SIE2CP5gBvOvU1W_fTtbEQB_XOP3OM9SLBTk16ES1f-2ce/s3697/unnamed%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3697" data-original-width="3697" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ3yaaJWUxkFfphzDjXBI2D_8tN9l1uI4Paj_JWrVwu1ZnF74JpRdUOZ2SD1lH17sC342BQTm-cruFvApf84LGeQZ5GxSshxevqK6K48Wt2XSpFcWrgYO99K-BL5s8F5MFN_N0GsHhy8-tp-SIE2CP5gBvOvU1W_fTtbEQB_XOP3OM9SLBTk16ES1f-2ce/w640-h640/unnamed%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /><b><u>TRACKLIST:<br /></u></b><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">1.

Today, the band confirms the album for May release on Neurot Recordings/Supernatural Cat Records, unveiling the cover art, track listing, preorders, and an animated video for the song “Leeched.”<br /><br />With the lead single, Poia (guitars, effects) writes, “‘Leeched,’ the first song from the new full-length album Hidden, perfectly represents the new direction of UFOMAMMUT, which began with the album Fenice and continued with the EP Crookhead and reiterates once again that there are no failures or hesitations in our sonic research. The fusion between heaviness and psychedelia, an obsession of the band since the beginning, takes on a new, changing form in ‘Leeched.’”<br /><br />Watch the metamorphosis of UFOMAMMUT’s “Leeched” transpire via a captivating Malleus-animated video right here, the song is now available on all digital providers:</span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NG0U3DTBs3A" width="320" youtube-src-id="NG0U3DTBs3A"></iframe></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Rising from the ashes of their prior band Judy Corda, UFOMAMMUT formed in the late 1990s by Poia and Urlo (bass, vocals, effects, synths), together with Vita (drums). With Levre taking over on drums in 2021, the band has undergone a rebirth, culminating in the release of the 2022-released Fenice LP, and on Halloween 2023, the Crookhead EP.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Over the course of two-and-a-half decades, UFOMAMMUT has developed a unique sound that combines heavy, dynamic riff worship with a deep understanding of psychedelic tradition in music, which has resulted in a cosmic, futuristic, and technicolor sound that fully immerses listeners. They’ve produced a wide spectrum of albums, EPs, live albums, a box set, compilation tracks, and covers – including a track on the Superunknown Redux Soundgarden tribute album.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Now, in 2024, as they celebrate their quarter-century milestone, UFOMAMMUT is set to release their tenth LP, Hidden. This album marks a shift in the band's musical composition, aiming for a more intense and heavy sound, as they have displayed over the prior two releases. The title, Hidden, reflects the concept of the presence of everything in our existence and the ability to bring to light what lies within us. With Hidden, the band delves into a sonic journey that traverses vast expanses of space and time. From the crushing heaviness to the hauntingly melodies, from the textured compositions to the otherworldly atmospheres, Hidden testifies to the never-ending evolution of UFOMAMMUT and their mastery of creating immersive sonic experiences: a fitting celebration of their 25 years of sonic exploration and experimentation.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Like any good psychedelic trip, the music of UFOMAMMUT has always been inextricably intertwined with visual art. Poia describes longer compositions, “like a painting,” as if to reinforce the relevance and importance of visual art in their music. And as always, the artwork, videos, and all visuals/graphics for Hidden were created by Malleus Rock Art Lab, the rock/music graphic design collective of which Poia and Urlo are part of with Lu.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Hidden was recorded at Flat Scenario Studio in Piemonte, Italy, with Lorenzo Stecconi handling the mixing and mastering, and Luca Grossi overseeing vocal tracking. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Hidden will be released on CD, LP, and digital on May 17th, in North America through Neurosis’ Neurot Recordings, the vinyl pressed on a Silver Nugget variant in a gatefold jacket. In Europe, the band’s Supernatural Cat Records will release it, a standard version on 180-gram Marbled Purple And Black variant, and a limited version of 500 copies on 180-gram Crystal Clear variant crafted by hand using photosensitive colors that are activated by sunlight, bringing the concept of the album to life, with multiple bundles and options.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Find US preorders/presaves at Neurot Recordings <b><a href="https://music.neurotrecordings.com/hidden" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">and EU preorders at Supernatural Cat <b><a href="https://www.supernaturalcat.com/home/hiddenpreorder/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZWMIxEN1QCTZQxJpUBXWsLmDH00omqzQu19T_7H1PhuohQDWTTxHfqAUlsGQCOMnUB4d0_jP_IOuDzixm8cpTVUv-4cgjE_7oyIg7eX26nDxlfhuWliTCdmEGpmSwz8XQ604IJiQVTt9IuMgShjDdF2NSiEQ-KJla72439b_xDE9QiHtUUfxma0oppjh/s630/cef24633b2fa9cd8259db5860f06973e72736b9333e675043503b3738cf32d34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="630" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZWMIxEN1QCTZQxJpUBXWsLmDH00omqzQu19T_7H1PhuohQDWTTxHfqAUlsGQCOMnUB4d0_jP_IOuDzixm8cpTVUv-4cgjE_7oyIg7eX26nDxlfhuWliTCdmEGpmSwz8XQ604IJiQVTt9IuMgShjDdF2NSiEQ-KJla72439b_xDE9QiHtUUfxma0oppjh/w640-h634/cef24633b2fa9cd8259db5860f06973e72736b9333e675043503b3738cf32d34.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><u><br />Hidden Track Listing:</u></b><br /><br />1.

white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Instrumental Post-Metallers Kult Ikon return with their second album Black Iron Prison and sees the band explore their Space Doom philosophy even further amongst Progressive Sludge grooves, Post-Rock flourishes and heavy Shoegaze with a hint of Psychedelic sounds holding everything together. The name of the album Black Iron Prison comes from the classic Philip K. Dick novel Valis which gives the album a more science fiction based tone.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The record sees Kult Ikon embrace themes from bands such as Pelican and Russian Circles with heavier moments of Post-Metal methodology appearing on certain stages of the album. The sound has an aura of coldness and solitary Ambient rhythms which is heard within the excellent opening track Norman Fell. The sludgy interludes of aggressive guitars builds up the Cosmic Doom flow for Kult Ikon to play heavier style of Instrumental Doom with atmospheric Sludge Metal movements with traces of Ambient rhythms on the later parts of the track.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Second track Untethered is where Kult Ikon start to experiment with their music and add a multi-layered approach with the Post-Rock/Post-Metal elements that sees the band play a beautifully melodic style of Cosmic Doom and trippy Progressive Sludge Metal. The song can be cautiously slow but Kult Ikon knows when to play a more aggressive and fast-paced style of instrumental sounds that becomes more DOOM obsessed especially within the more Ambient and Cosmic beats that the band employ here.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The final two tracks of Lost Sea and Overburden are more adventurous in places with a classic Doomgaze sound being more dominant especially within the standout third track Lost Sea. There’s a more emotional Post-Rock style appearing which shows a different side to Kult Ikon but with a remorseful Post-Metal edge. The song also allows Kult Ikon to show their more melodic side with a violent Atmospheric Sludge movement taking more creative control on Lost Sea and Overburden.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Black Iron Prison is a superbly made album with a contemporary sound that also offers a more CINEMATIC vision throughout and allows Kult Ikon to create their own style of intense and brilliantly played Instrumental Post-Metal that leaves you wanting more. This is a stunning release that should allow Kult Ikon to enhance their reputation further within the Post-Metal community.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Desert Bloom PR for the promo.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://kultikon.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Official</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thekultikon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://kulikon.bandcamp.com/album/black-iron-prison" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kultikon/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p><br /></span><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3796836556/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 588px; width: 350px;"><a href="https://kulikon.bandcamp.com/album/black-iron-prison">Black Iron Prison by Kult Ikon</a></iframe>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-66771074579801857442024-03-18T13:15:00.003+00:002024-03-18T13:15:21.214+00:00Burning Realm - Face The Fire (EP Review)<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxwpGgOl-yQk8BGJC0V3IM6QxZP3lt-uJTjqs11gnJ_cKBAfnYh-R0_1hdqCGSBRM9scI3QaymDLAHq1U4_C5j1XRqp1qaw0ld2HmUAunMhBggqo6tVFCIfYK1i6VuRNInVJgyIpLV2wypf4LBB3Yxljtu-tNWbSQavdlZUBzzuXPG85tfG4F8u0Swj-C/s1200/Burning%20Realm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxwpGgOl-yQk8BGJC0V3IM6QxZP3lt-uJTjqs11gnJ_cKBAfnYh-R0_1hdqCGSBRM9scI3QaymDLAHq1U4_C5j1XRqp1qaw0ld2HmUAunMhBggqo6tVFCIfYK1i6VuRNInVJgyIpLV2wypf4LBB3Yxljtu-tNWbSQavdlZUBzzuXPG85tfG4F8u0Swj-C/w640-h640/Burning%20Realm.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Release Date: March 22nd 2024.

font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Burning Realm’s overall sound is dominated and influenced by bands such as Thin Lizzy, Torche, Floor, Thin Lizzy, Sleep and even Yawning Man. There’s also a kinetic Punk Rock energy heard within the down-tuned Sludgy grooves that allows Burning Realm to have a deep meaningful DOWN-TUNED approach and Amplifier Worship melody to their music.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Opening track Homosapien takes that classic style of Sludge/Doom-Pop/Stoner Metal riffage that FLOOR and TORCHE were closely associated with. Burning Realm adds a murky Psychedelic vision and Shamanic Chants within their vocal delivery. The song can be quite meditative and with weird Psychedelic acoustic guitars still retaining a Droned Out melodic energy. The mood is quite out there and wonderfully trippy.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Second song From Beyond channels the High On Fire and Big Business way of life with a classic mid-nineties Stoner Metal attitude from Michael’s vocals. The frantic guitars both played by Michael and Tob works superbly well with Burning Realm offering their own great blend of upbeat and aggressive guitar solos that becomes more impressive when the strands of Classic Hard Rock appear which is then changes to a more chaotic blend of Sludge/Stoner Metal instrumental heaviness and Psychedelic exploration.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The final two tracks Face The Fire and Warped One (Arise) continue that musical journey with flashes of early era The Sword and KYLESA coming from Burning Realm and a soulful sonic interchange with epic drumming from Ror Conaty. Perhaps the most technically impressive and most interesting creative sounds appear within Face The Fire with Burning Realm taking their music into a more Progressive direction.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Face The Fire is a vastly entertaining debut EP which offers a kick-ass style of modern day Sludge/Stoner Metal which I’m hoping to see a more substantial release from Burning Realm in the future.

Ash Eater plays a mixture of Thrashed Out Doom/Stoner Metal with comparisons to High On Fire, Motorhead and early era Lord Dying. The band bring a seedy and dirge ridden style of Psychedelic Rock to the album with an aggressive fast-paced sound hat oozes 1980’s Classic Thrash Metal Attitude with a killer Speed Metal flow that works amazingly well with their modern day Psych Stoner Metal approach.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The sound can also be quite progressive on the flashier and trippy moments of the album with Ash Eater having a thrilling creative attitude that matches the more outlandish guitar solos played throughout the album. The production values are handled superbly well with Ash Eater opting for a contemporary and classic sound for Breathe The Smoke with perhaps the Doom Metal aspects offering the vocals to have a more distant vibe to the more “in your face” style of the instrumental passages.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Standout tracks include Any Port In A Storm, Ritual and Grab The Strands//Take The Light\\Breathe The Smoke where Ash Eater changes the sound to a slower change of pace but with DEMONIC persona coming from Kenny’s vocals fully taking over. However, the whole sound of the record starts to experiment with more of that 1980’s Hard Rock/Heavy Metal energy where the instrumental solos become flashier and perhaps a bit more OTT that you don’t initially expect. The whole tone is still full of vibrant promise with the sludgy guitars being quite melodic despite the abrasive nature of Ash Eater’s music.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Breathe The Smoke is a gloriously entertaining and bombastic record with a non-stop delivery of intense Heavy Metal guitar sounds that has an superb Doom/Stoner Metal energy that will keep the underground masses happy from start to finish.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Good Boy PR for the promo.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/asheaterpdx/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://asheater.bandcamp.com/album/breathe-the-smoke" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/asheaterpdx/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p><br /></span>

white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">We Could Have Been Radiant is the debut full length from Post-Rock collective Goodbye Meteor whose style of music is building up Ambient Post-Rock Textures and adding Ambient Chill Out sounds before venturing into a heavier layer of Cinematic Rock. The album isn’t what you expect with Goodbye Meteor perhaps using a more long drawn out delivery within the extended Progressive moments that appear on the album.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">There’s moments of Shoegaze and Indie Rock within the record especially on the early album tracks such as This Is Not Here and No Signal. I was expecting outbursts of Aggressive Post-Metal mentality from Goodbye Meteor but they stay within the confinements of modern-day Post-Rock. Truth be told the album is perhaps better for this style of music. As the record remains constantly upbeat throughout though there’s multiple moments of sombre Post-Rock attitude which brings a sense of world-building Ambient themes on tracks such as Destructuration and What Are We Here For.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Listening to the album after multiple times you do begin to realise that Goodbye Meteor have their own blend of aggressive Post-Rock energy on the later stages of the album with progressive leaning guitars and subtle Psychedelic effects that can be quite experimental and distorted in places.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The final tracks of the record (What We Are Here For and We Could Have Been Radiant) sees Goodbye Meteor opt for a more reflective style of Post-Rock delivery which bands such as Russian Circles are well known for. The songs are both deliberately slow with the band using their time effectively drifting into the vastness and deep warmth their music generates within the long drawn out instrumental passages. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">I can see why the famed label Dunk!Records signed Goodbye Meteor to their roster. As Goodbye Meteor create some of the most heartwarming style of Post-Rock music you’ll likely to hear in a very long time whilst playing some truly standout and aggressive based movements that only align the listener to the band’s creative cause.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">We Could Have Been Radiant is an extraordinary album which showcases how Goodbye Meteor are one of the most original bands to come from the Post-Rock scene in quite some time.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><div><span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div>We Could Have Been Radiant is available to buy now on <b><a href="https://dunkrecords.com/products/goodbye-meteor-we-could-have-been-radiant-lp?_pos=2&_sid=c1b46adab&_ss=r" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CD/DD/Vinyl via Dunk!Records</a></b>.</div><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/goodbyemeteor" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://goodbyemeteor.bandcamp.com/album/we-could-have-been-radiant" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goodbyemeteor_band/?hl=fr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p><br /></span>

font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Doom/Hardcore/Sludge Metallers Mastiff opt for an even heavier and uglier sound on their new album Deprecipice that sees the band venture into Post-Metal heaviness with the right amount of violent Progressive melodies lurking within the more melodic parts of the album. Mastiff has a slight Post Hardcore energy within the more subtle parts of the album. Jim Hodge’s lead vocals are consumed by an intense anger but they can also be quite emotional on some of the most hard hitting lyrics the band have written for the album.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Deprecipice is brutally honest with the onslaught of pissed off sludge grooves that have a monolithic and apocalyptic flow to them on tracks such as Bite Radius, Everything Is Ending and Void allowing Mastiff to capture a destructive void that leads into fast-paced and technically impressive slabs of Doom/Sludge Metal fury. The record is unapologetically nihilistic which is best told through the amount of grindcore blasts and beats which sets Mastiff onto becoming one of the heaviest and most intense bands the UK Sludge Metal scene has right now. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The production values are off the scale with Mastiff delivering their finest album to date which pulls no punches within the volume department. Deprecipice retains its bleak cinematic vision on more outstanding tracks such as Cut-Throat, Serrated, Worship and Pitiful. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Mastiff delves into the dark arts of Extreme Metal with some first rate vocal experimentation which feels like they’re channelling into another dimension and bringing the true END OF THE WORLD along with them.

white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Graveside Grin is the new full length album from Leather Lung and it’s another cool slice of aggressively charged Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal that also has roots in areas of Boogie Rock, WEEDIAN M</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">etal and Psychedelic Rock. The band are known for their glorious Hard Rock swagger which is influenced by bands such as Motorhead, High On Fire and The Melvins and this record continues that seedy Hard Rocking charm with a more Punk Rock attitude appearing within the lyrics and the excellent vocals by lead vocalist Mike.</span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">There’s a certain Crossover Thrash Metal sound that appears within Graveside Grin which gives Leather Lung a more MATURE and THREATENING presence compared to their previous acclaimed releases. The music is always constantly engaging with Leather Lung delivering intense grooves, riffs and spliffs within almost every song. The album has a classic NOLA/Southern Metal feeling on the first three tracks of the album with Spit Of The Casket, Big Bad Bodega Cat and Freewheelin’ Maniac showcasing a different side from the Boston, Massachusetts natives.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Leather Lung deploys a seedy melodic tone which does tend to become more riff focused as time goes on. However, Leather Lung keep with their Sludge/Stoner Metal beliefs on more outlandish tracks such as Empty Bottle Boogie, La La Land, Headstone and Raised Me Rowdy. The riffs and vocals are continuously engaging and superbly entertaining from a band who know how to write a lean and mean seedy groove.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The album can be more extreme when the vocals opt for a more Harsh/Death Metal vocal style but they always remain easy to understand but it shows that Leather Lung aren’t afraid to change their musical style for a more uncompromising blend of music to fully appear. However, Graveside Grin is a superb debut release from Leather Lung that delivers maximum thrills and spills throughout the album. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Excellent and Highly Recommended.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to All Noir PR and Magnetic Eye Records for the promo.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Graveside Grin is available to buy on CD/DD/Vinyl via <a href="https://us.merhq.net/us/Artists/Leather-Lung/Leather-Lung-Graveside-Grin.html?listtype=search&searchparam=leather%20lung" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Magnetic Eye Records (US)</b></a> / <b><a href="https://en.merhq.net/index.php?lang=1&cl=search&searchparam=leather+lung" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magnetic Eye Records (EU)</a></b></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/leatherlungcult" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://leatherlungcult.bandcamp.com/album/graveside-grin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/leather_lung" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p><br /></span>

Drums and Guitar were recorded live in the same room, with lots of bleeding on each microphone. In the album there are no extra layers of guitar, except for `Cure´ which wes recorded differently. We recorded all the songs in one week and some of them were even written in that time like `The Long Run´or `Seeds´.<br /><br />Afterwards we didn’t touch the songs for some months and then started recording the vocals. The true beauty of the tracks came out when Magnus Lindberg did the Mixing and Mastering. He did an amazing job, with these tricky signals!<br /><br />Finding a label who wanted to release something like this was tricky. Chris from `This Charming Man-Records´ listened to it, said it’s bulky and far from popular, and we started working together. We are really happy about that. Last but not least we got a funding for our album, so it was the first time we could do some promotion, bring a cameraman to our tour in Israel before the release and shoot some fancy music videos.”<br /><br />Earlier this Month the Band Unleashed the 'Boltcutters' Single and Video where you can watch below:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ueb9gXJ_-0o" width="320" youtube-src-id="ueb9gXJ_-0o"></iframe></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Leipzig's mathcore/sludge duo Park+Riot release third single 'Boltcutters' from their upcoming album 'Wise Words From Well-Fed Mouths'. Boltcutters is a dynamic and propulsive track, inspired by the experience of working in a refugee-camp in Lesvos (Greece). Witnessing violence in various forms against migrants at the EU border inevitably leads to an awareness of one's own privileges. Boltcutters is the resulting outcry for radical change and equal rights for all! The new album, Wise Words from Well-Fed Mouths, is set to be released on March 15th via This Charming Man Records and can be pre-ordered here:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpCxmuA9H8-gIq7bdiTkOOKIP5OBE_fYsduOlPt-xqbp1Zpo_IU0Kpg8HMQToxNBPqiridOEviFny9ylbvvaEFPiGn2ZKTVSEuD-zicDmFXJ7ar-LRimAM79nhmyfrFydT06uuVS12oOyshmUlwBB_PCFB5BHoVgElR4s4zGAf7E54swiaSEpzfIbxaIm/s711/PAR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="711" data-original-width="711" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimpCxmuA9H8-gIq7bdiTkOOKIP5OBE_fYsduOlPt-xqbp1Zpo_IU0Kpg8HMQToxNBPqiridOEviFny9ylbvvaEFPiGn2ZKTVSEuD-zicDmFXJ7ar-LRimAM79nhmyfrFydT06uuVS12oOyshmUlwBB_PCFB5BHoVgElR4s4zGAf7E54swiaSEpzfIbxaIm/w640-h640/PAR.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /><u><b>Tour Dates:<br /></b></u></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><u>Germany<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">08.03 Tangermünde, Kaminstube (DE)<br />09.03 Greiz Siebenhitze (DE)<br />15.03 Leipzig, Plaque (DE)<br />20.03 Leisnig AJZ (DE)<br />22.03 Hamburg, MS Stubnitz (DE)<br />30.03 Dresden, HD Die Rock und Metalbar (DE)<br />05.04 Halle, Galle (DE)<br />06.04 Delitzsch, YOZ (DE)<br />20.04 Warschau, Hydrozagadka (PL)<br /><br /><b><u>Ukraine:</u></b><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">21.4 – 24.4 Ukraine TBC<br /><br /><b><u>Isarel:<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">09.05 Ha’arubah Pup at Kibbutz Hama’apil (w/ antigona rex and Rafster Blaster)<br />10.05 beit alpha TLV (w/ Social Virus and Stress Temple)<br />14.05 tba<br />16.05 Pergamon JLM (w/ Alien Fucker, Infuzia)<br />18.05 Haifa (w/ Nur and Atameo)<br />More TBA<br /><br /><b><u>Park+Riot<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/parkandriot/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">instagram</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ParkRiot" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYM1MVr8zjoE00joGIcIuNA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bandcamp</a><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/1cpcS4tgWFoUMxXU6RypHc?si=2uf3-cnsRLySdawKynE_EA&nd=1&dlsi=fdf7f715ffd34eb9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">spotify</a><br /></b><br /><b><u>This Charming Man Records<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thischarmingmanrecords/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">instagram</a><br /><a href="http://www.thischarmingmanrecords.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">homepage</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Thischarmingmanrecords/?fref=ts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/thischarminhman" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">youtube</a></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to CZ Promotions for all of the details</span></b></div>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-26392701816623652462024-03-15T13:06:00.005+00:002024-03-15T13:10:23.707+00:00Wasted Death - Season Of Evil (Album Review)<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkokSfk1UqL9ZgGnGlz50cM-wzZ30IuhwudwDfnQo03ZHoTpuMd7_zNIjob3_YkdVZkhUirDEb1yTvtFRU_uVWFVf-8FUvoDvjCdqy7f40rH1rTmqRdomrx81_uCMheXEdNIN63CA2lRHVUeLq-lj7UeZdDIozWxj9k49c03LajTRiCiecTHPu-Xf0jvIB/s1200/SOD.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkokSfk1UqL9ZgGnGlz50cM-wzZ30IuhwudwDfnQo03ZHoTpuMd7_zNIjob3_YkdVZkhUirDEb1yTvtFRU_uVWFVf-8FUvoDvjCdqy7f40rH1rTmqRdomrx81_uCMheXEdNIN63CA2lRHVUeLq-lj7UeZdDIozWxj9k49c03LajTRiCiecTHPu-Xf0jvIB/w640-h640/SOD.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Release Date: March 15th 2024.

white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span>Season Of Evil is the debut album from Grind/Doom/Thrash/Punk/Sludge Metallers Wasted Death who take inspiration from bands such as Motorhead, High On Fire, Sepultura, Converge and Extreme Noise Terror. The album takes its creative narrative from the 1970’s and 1980’s violent Zombie movies that lead into the landmark 1980’s UK Video Nasty craze which you can tell from the excellent album cover.</span></span></p><span><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span>The album itself is a brutal onslaught of ideas with a Grindcore sound allowing Wasted Death to destroy everything and everyone in their wake with their blend of fast-paced destructive grooves which moves into other areas of Hard Rock, Hardcore Punk and Heavy Metal whilst keeping with a more extreme delivery throughout the albums brief and concise twenty five minutes running time.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Wasted Death are on a mission to play some of the sickest, fastest and violent HEAVY METAL sounds you’ll hear in quite some time. However, the band do play a subtle style of Speed Metal and Sludge Metal that can be quite riff-centric in places whilst playing styles of music that will please fans of bands such as High On Fire and Motorhead. </span></p><span><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span>The majority of the songs are quite short, running for around two to three minutes each with Wasted Death adding a seedy HORROR element throughout the album. The vocals are suitably nasty where they venture into harsh growls with a few moments of Hardcore Punk clean vocals along the way. </span></span></p><span><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span>Season Of Evil is quite catchy when Wasted Death play a slower and less chaotic style of music though still maintaining a violent creative energy to them when the mood calls for this. </span></span></p><span><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Standout tracks to check out are: <b>Wirehead, Brain All Rot, Selfish Enough To Suck Air</b> and <b>Wasted Death By Wasted Death</b>. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">These tracks are the </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">STUFF OF NIGHTMARES</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> with how sick and twisted Wasted Death actually becomes.

The album doesn’t feature their lengthier compositions that’s featured on their last few releases but you’re still treated to a great selection of classic tracks that the band have made their name with over nearly thirty years in the business.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The tracks are mostly from 2021’s Weedsconsin and 2023’s Dab City with a couple of classic tracks such as Greenthumb being added to the set list. Despite this record being played at different locations, the album still feels and sounds like it was recorded from the same performance. There is a rough sounding quality to the record which allows the listener to fully experience the definitive BONGZILLA performance live on stage. The grooves are aggressive and downright nasty in places which is what you expect from this great band. However, there’s some fantastic FUZZED UP and SLUDGY attitude that’s appeared within their collection of Heavy Psych Sounds releases over the last few years.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Mike’s vocals are harsh and abrasive as ever with some wicked moments of humour appearing here and there especially when he name checks another legendary WEEDIAN metal band live on stage. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Standout tracks to checkout are: Sundae Driver, King Of Weed, Free The Weed and Hippie Stick. These tracks are perhaps where BONGZILLA impress the most with their enthusiastic and unapologetic stage presence where the AMPLIFIERS are electrically charged with some epic FUZZY SLUDGE grooves that only this great band can deliver.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">My only complaint is that it’s a tad too short, lasting under forty minutes.

Without looking for it we found death, isolation, boredom, uncertainty, rage, and an energy that we decided instantly to try to capture and preserve as it was. No additives, no major editing. In the uncertainty of the times, we began to collect recording equipment, slowly transforming our rehearsal space into a recording studio. We developed a ritual of playing and replaying, without click, the whole 27 minutes, until we got better than close to the original, to the perfect simulacra. There is a bonus track included in the album called “10 Hygiea” that is part of the soundtrack of "Music Appreciation", a short horror movie we collaborated with.</b>" - says the band<br /><br />Album track-listing and cover art are as follows Et in Arcadia Ego<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3pmeF8TxfyV0vZT9lFw-eWWNKQWD4qo2TFIKl-PY4dgFM5cPwdMEuRrGj-kHS-q-yRKv-oiVVttorSZ3_jFLx0R66KuMfaUS174a1sQVB1L8wCbXKBH-0Pg3InR9jxpRvj23eCfgMgPByufet14epwsFxa4I7rrg-j52GK4IfJ4HrZRHfty_JcD17vwV/s1419/unnamed%20(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1419" data-original-width="1419" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3pmeF8TxfyV0vZT9lFw-eWWNKQWD4qo2TFIKl-PY4dgFM5cPwdMEuRrGj-kHS-q-yRKv-oiVVttorSZ3_jFLx0R66KuMfaUS174a1sQVB1L8wCbXKBH-0Pg3InR9jxpRvj23eCfgMgPByufet14epwsFxa4I7rrg-j52GK4IfJ4HrZRHfty_JcD17vwV/w640-h640/unnamed%20(8).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Founded in Berlin in 2015, the international quartet released 2 albums, "Mask of Discomfort" in 2017, and "Towards Nothingness" in 2020 (Argonauta Records), critically acclaimed by the major platforms like Cult Nation, Deaf Forever, Rock Hard, Metal Hammer and more. The idea of the name Lares originates from an archaic Roman Etruscan word which means "heroes" and "demons“. A faceless god, an entity that could be molded into any desired shape, believed to observe, protect and influence fate. <br /><br />Since the beginning, the band explored different music genres, creating a unique sound in continuous evolution that mixes elements of Doom, Black and Sludge metal, strongly influenced by the 60s and 70s psychedelia and 90s grunge/noise. <br /><br />Lares has played and organised concerts locally since the foundation of the band, slowly creating a devoted fan base in Berlin and surrounding areas. <br /><br />During this process, especially in the last 2 years, they developed a live sound performance that was captured in a live recording session in their rehearsal studio and that became their third concept album, “Et In Arcadia Ego". <br /><br /> “Et in Arcadia Ego” marks their renewed collaboration with Argonauta Records and a new chapter for the band, which is looking forward to touring around Europe and releasing more material in the near future. <br /><br />"Animos Daemones Ex Hominibus Fieri Lares"<br /><br /><b><u>For more info:</u></b></span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/laresband" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/laresband</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/laresmetal/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/laresmetal/</a><br /><a href="https://www.argonautarecords.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.argonautarecords.com/</a></b></span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Grand Sounds Promotion for all of the details.</span></div>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-27493700659980858832024-03-14T13:41:00.002+00:002024-03-14T13:49:20.859+00:00Polish Doom Metal band Sunnata announce new album Chasing Shadows; release haunting new single Chimera<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCzllVB6E-x6HSowAp2EhybSbcUzBI2GiPq3nB9MUUUjh_GQsrRlo508Fgm6yb8IsrsMa0O-Lz6r8CcZDSiJ0pDJCSCO-hJhevwcU3Sipg1yQOpMiDR_ZEuGhCTjTW-FDNqekAEQlkidtb1Q4Wf3zJySx0FpU9ok2_GADzRMAfjoxcNfOsx2QUMM8JV92/s1200/unnamed%20(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCzllVB6E-x6HSowAp2EhybSbcUzBI2GiPq3nB9MUUUjh_GQsrRlo508Fgm6yb8IsrsMa0O-Lz6r8CcZDSiJ0pDJCSCO-hJhevwcU3Sipg1yQOpMiDR_ZEuGhCTjTW-FDNqekAEQlkidtb1Q4Wf3zJySx0FpU9ok2_GADzRMAfjoxcNfOsx2QUMM8JV92/w640-h400/unnamed%20(4).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">photo credit: Kamil Parzychowski</span></b></div></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /> Feral wilderness prophets Sunnata, (sanskr. noun emptiness, voidness) have announced their fifth full-length album Chasing Shadows will be self-released on 10th May.

Just like a mythical hybrid creature, the song is a bizarre mix of different genres and ideas, glued together into a compelling passage. From a blast beat and Pattonesque vocals, through a ceremonial trance-inducing build-up to a heavy, rock n rolling riffage, 'Chimera' proves to be an amalgamation, binding those pieces together to form a single entity.<br /><br />"The song’s lyrics bind many paradoxes together, posing them as something inherent to reality. Dreamy recall of hinduistic Maya sets the tone of the piece - an ever-evolving appearance, an ever-changing shape. The cycle of life - the one who comes from the horizon and goes away - is prevalent like an imperative. Those who try to deny it and shape the world to their individual needs are fighting for the cause that is unreachable. <br /><br />"The evolution binds units together, but also sets them apart. Paradoxes are part of us. Only the one, who is born and dead at the same time, prevails."<br /><br />The four piece Warsaw-based doom metal magi have been paving their own way to higher metal skies since their 2014 debut Climbing The Colossus. Their spellbinding sophomore album Zorya (2016) made the band gather even more momentum with regard to the European alternative heavy scene. Third album Outlands (2018) brilliantly brought out even more character, confidently crossing the frontier of progressive doom to land in even more melancholic and mind-expanding alleys. Fourth release Burning in Heaven, Melting on Earth (2021) was their most transcendent, melding together all the heaviness, intensity and tenderness into a graceful, cross-pollinating form, to create something incredible that grabbed the attention of fans and press worldwide, demanding attention and respect.<br /><br />Chasing Shadows sees Sunnata expanding their sonic spectrum with their most complex record to date. Exploring both the most extreme aspects and subtle incarnations of their essence, Chasing Shadows is a mind-altering doomscape painted with everlasting, captivating stories. Hitting high notes in the eyes of fans and journalists, from here Sunnata are free to roam wherever.<br /><br />Commenting on the album: "The fifth album for a band like ours is no joke. We are extremely proud on one hand, but also exhausted on the other as the creative process pushed us to the current limits. It’s the most complex and longest Sunnata record to date. Filled with nuances, genre blends and confident expansion of the band’s sound spectrum. Anyone familiar with our discography can easily tell that both change and experimentation are part of our nature, but at the same time - the constant need to push ourselves outside of the comfort zone, go beyond - is what stretches one's limits. Maybe this is why we liked the title so much - we are chasing the uncatchable - shadows, illusions, visions and try to frame them with our musical language." <br /><br />Known for their expressive and atmospheric live performances, Sunnata have already taken part in various international festivals and been invited to open for Mastodon, Paradise Lost, Entombed AD, Rotting Christ, Sleep, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats and The Sword.

The record has its own distinctive WEEDIAN flavour for a debut album with Hashtronaut employing some very cool humour within their lyrics that are delivered by mixture of sublime different vocal styles.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The songs contained within No Return can be quite epic in scope within the more lengthier compositions on tracks such as Carcinogen, Dead Cloud and Dweller where Hashtronuat have more time and space to play about with. The Psychedelic and Spaced Out movements are continuously changing with the mood or melody of the album though there’s a classic FUZZ ROCK sound being heard within the production techniques throughout the album. Shades of BONGZILLA and SLEEP downtuned heaviness is matched against Monolord’s level of COSMIC DOOM with the album still allowing Hashtronaut to stand their own creative ground.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The album flows superbly well with each of the tracks leading into each other perfectly especially within the first few tracks of Rip Wizard, Cough It Up and Carcinogen being considered as one lengthy track broken down into individual chapters. The overall sound crackles with VINTAGE sludgy grooves and modern day Psychedelic Stoner Metal grittiness which sees Hashtronaut play a muscular style of music with that essential SABBATHIAN dynamic power also adding a filthy and seedy attitude to the more extended and progressive instrumental jams the album contains.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Truth be told, No Return has no right to be this great especially for a debut release. Hashtronaut have delivered perhaps the almost perfect WEEDIAN debut album of the year next to KALGON’s upcoming debut album. The whole story of the album is outlandish, superbly realised and all told through the power of music. With first rate production values allowing the album to have an incredible presence from start to finish. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Hashtronaut are perhaps at the start of a wholly new exciting chapter for themselves to explore within the global Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal scene. No Return is the type of album that could be considered a landmark release within the years to come and that’s the real beauty and power of this amazing record.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Purple Sage PR for the promo.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">No Return will be available to buy on CD/DD/Vinyl via <b><a href="https://www.bluesfuneral.com/search?q=hashtronaut" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blues Funeral Recordings</a></b> from Friday 22nd March 2024.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://wearehashtronauts.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Official</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wearehashtronauts/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://wearehashtronauts.bandcamp.com/album/no-return" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wearehashtronauts/?hl=en-gb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p><br /></span>

Propelled by an enveloping groove, ABRAMS fire up on all cylinders, poised to conquer the hearts of heavy music fans across the scene!<br /><br />Get hooked on the rifftastic power of new video "Fire Waltz" below and listen to the official single <a href="https://lnkfi.re/firewaltz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>at this location</b></a></span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uaR6mNrNiGU" width="320" youtube-src-id="uaR6mNrNiGU"></iframe></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">About "Fire Waltz", guitarist and vocalist Zachary Amster says: "I didn't think this song would make the record, yet it turned out really great in the studio, with some of my favorite guitar tones on the album. The second verse is a standout to me, with its ethereal trippy guitar lead and memorable vocal melody singing 'haunted idols'. When we added this to the song, it definitely made it a game-changer. Additionally, the rock-out jam in the odd time signature of 5 is a fun part to play!"<br /><br />Fusing melody and dissonance, ABRAMS blast forth a cathartic mix of catchy, driving rhythms, soaring vocals and ethereal ambiance into the heavy music landscape. Wielding elements of heavy rock, shoegaze, grunge and post-metal with ease and fluency, they create a crystalline heaviness that's bittersweet and nostalgic yet also gazes forward. The Denver band's arresting sound finds them sharing terrain with the likes of Torche and Cave In, while their penchant for crunchy, irresistibly hooky riffs recalls alt-rock icons Quicksand. Even so, their swirling meld of influences isn't the totality of ABRAMS.<br /><br />Recorded and produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire, Torche, Chelsea Wolfe) at his legendary GodCity Studio, their new album "Blue City" is where genre-defying heaviness and perfect melodic songcraft converge, a sojourn through lush, cinematic passages and contemplative psychedelia. About the album theme, Amster comments: "The songs on 'Blue City' deal with the feeling of being trapped in a place of comfort and normality. Where we may really want to pack up and try anything new; but the scare of change is holding us back for what is known as routine. The blue city is a metaphor, for this is a cold but familiar place that keeps us imprisoned from any drastically new experience. A comfort in the familiar, a fear of the unknown."<br /><br />"Blue City" will be released on deluxe vinyl, limited CD digipack and digital on May 24th, with preorders available from <b><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=5b5320fea6&e=d771f806f7">Bandcamp</a>, <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=9ba4636118&e=d771f806f7">Blues Funeral website</a></b> (world) and Blues Funeral <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=73a3817ad8&e=d771f806f7"><b>SPKR shop</b></a> (Europe).<br /><br /><b>ABRAMS - New album "Blue City" - Out May 24th on Blues Funeral Recordings<br /></b><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3smKeoTm_JRnyxbXZPz4x1UlNMRGHd84RDYRzDb1oT4qi-UbkIzrYP9i6vZwus7eZcfTJPK9X3ZaRoMVpWd_3Lv102BMNnaRinTFtJIWy4vIlkQhYoIk9cEalzi74701BOLKcBaRQOks4Pw18QLhJqR0Ilcu-FVraU44ZejRhfyu8CzgVE98JocYWE9Al/s2000/unnamed%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3smKeoTm_JRnyxbXZPz4x1UlNMRGHd84RDYRzDb1oT4qi-UbkIzrYP9i6vZwus7eZcfTJPK9X3ZaRoMVpWd_3Lv102BMNnaRinTFtJIWy4vIlkQhYoIk9cEalzi74701BOLKcBaRQOks4Pw18QLhJqR0Ilcu-FVraU44ZejRhfyu8CzgVE98JocYWE9Al/w640-h640/unnamed%20(3).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><u>TRACKLIST:<br /></u></b><br /></span><div> <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">1.

Blue City<br /><br />ABRAMS started in 2013 in Denver, Colorado, with guitarist/vocalist Zach Amster and bassist/vocalist Taylor Iversen at the helm. Later joined by drummer Ryan DeWitt, the thunderous trio has always made a point of honor at crafting compelling melodies driven by blistering energy. From the full-blown progressive sludge and post-hardcore aggression of their debut album "Lust. Love. Loss." (2015) and follow-up "Morning" (2017), the band has honed their craft and revealed their magnetism with 2020's "Modern Ways", yet it is the moody and mountain-heavy rock venture of their fourth full-length "In The Dark" that saw ABRAMS taking their music journey to the next level. <br /><br />Produced by Dave Otero (Khemmis, Cattle Decapitation), "In The Dark" showcases an expansive collection of AmpRep-worthy post-grunge tunes that trigger a wide range of emotions through luscious guitar hooks, brooding leads and outstanding vocals. The album landed in numerous end-of-year lists and was unanimously acclaimed by international critics who described it as an "in-your-face sludge/post-metal package that just goes the moment you hit play" (Metalsucks) and the "most explosive, bombastic, and convincing version of Abrams" (Heavy Blog Is Heavy).<br /><br />Having shared the stage with Unsane, KEN mode, King Buffalo, Khemmis, Jaye Jayle or Emma Ruth Rundle, ABRAMS has always strived to deliver memorable live shows. A spearhead of the Denver rock scene, the foursome has recently joined the ranks of tastemaker label Blues Funeral Recordings for a spring 2024 release of their fifth album "Blue City", which they recorded with Converge's riffmaster and producer Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio. <br /> <br /><b><u>ABRAMS lineup:<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Zachary Amster – guitar, vocals <br />Taylor Iversen – bass, vocals <br />Ryan DeWitt - drums <br />Graham Zander - guitar<br /><br /><b><u>ABRAMS links<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=565a147500&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Website</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=561e1df9ff&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=36e03fa5ee&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=27ce49a219&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=089723bfb0&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify</a><br /></b> <br /><b><u>BLUES FUNERAL RECORDINGS links<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=debadc49bc&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Website</a> ⎮ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=49948688a9&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> ⎮ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=291468e0d4&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> ⎮ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=de41b3cf69&e=d771f806f7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Purple Sage PR for all of the details.</span></b></div>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-89894919946146015672024-03-12T19:00:00.000+00:002024-03-12T19:10:06.463+00:00O Zorn! - Vermillion Haze (Album Review)<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_rPhPNsCwYuB8Yqlt9y3hyphenhyphen9dUnfZ5hiaT2u91TNR5pf6crqByL7UpPfRjryEiwxVfbX2rTNAb8TWMxHCYGhjFBZ-d5Lm5q4iUI3ZHHJMjSQ_uSOnjktgIMHEOLPCuFHqYlLeQ3Kea4owr2yYMO2RW9kZ_bW3WKJTNY_t0LpSyPI3bDkmbrsNlc1H3sPE/s680/O%20Zorn!.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="680" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_rPhPNsCwYuB8Yqlt9y3hyphenhyphen9dUnfZ5hiaT2u91TNR5pf6crqByL7UpPfRjryEiwxVfbX2rTNAb8TWMxHCYGhjFBZ-d5Lm5q4iUI3ZHHJMjSQ_uSOnjktgIMHEOLPCuFHqYlLeQ3Kea4owr2yYMO2RW9kZ_bW3WKJTNY_t0LpSyPI3bDkmbrsNlc1H3sPE/w640-h640/O%20Zorn!.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Release Date: March 15th 2024.

An album I’m ashamed to admit that I totally missed when it was originally released. As that was an engrossing and highly accomplished debut with the band playing a multitude of different styles that bridged the gap between Post-Metal, Sludge, Doom and Grunge. This time round O Zorn! come back stronger than ever with a record that has a mighty sludgy and groove obsessed vision throughout.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Channelling bands such as Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Neurosis, BEASTWARS and Mastodon whilst playing their own great style of Doomed Out Grunge that sees the band encompass a fearless attitude within their haunting lyrics and the intense vocals from Bill Kielty. With a sound that blasts between Progressive Sludge Metal and intense Grunge attitude which shine brightly throughout the excellent opening tracks of Features and Slow Mind. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The lyrics have an Alice In Chains flavour to them but O Zorn! build sublime Sludge/Doom foundations for the heavy waves of Psychedelic and Atmospheric grooves to appear. There’s a harsh emotional quality appearing within the lyrics that can be quite hard-hitting and straight to the point.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">With heavy Sludge/Post-Metallic guitars from Justin Suitor employing a more cosmic and muscular sound for the epic rhythm section of Justin Morales on Bass and Derek Elgit on Drums to build masses of heavy volume for O Zorn! to truly flourish within their own creative vision. The instrumental work is always changing for the better with each song taking a slightly different departure from what came before it.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">There’s an element of familiarity in parts of the album which harks back to the days of 1990's and 2000's Doom/Sludge Metal with moments of classic leaning Grunge. There’s many different sides to O Zorn!’s music that you don’t initially expect that explodes under a style of aggressive melodies and pitch perfect Psychedelic Doom textures on tracks such as Never Saw It Coming, I See Through You, I Got Mine and Ricochet. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Vermillion Haze was overseen by producer Ryan Boesch known for his work with powerhouse bands and artists such as Whores, Andrew WK, Tomahawk and The Eels and perhaps the main reason why the album has such a contemporary and alternative sound at times but still having a fresh HEAVY ROCK momentum that grabs you by throat and never lets go.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">As I stated earlier in the review, this is quite a bleak, harsh and hard-hitting album to fully comprehend at times but one that allows Vermillion Haze to be one of the most refreshing and honest albums I’ve heard in some time.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">O Zorn! have released an album that will see them appear on quite a few Album Of The Year contender lists before the year is out. This has already claimed a Top 10 slot in my very own favourite albums of the year list. A simply unmissable release that every fan of the Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal underground scene needs to check out now.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Words by Steve Howe</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Earsplit PR for the promo.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Vermillion Haze will be available to buy on DD/Vinyl via Hard Drugs and <b><a href="https://seeingredrecords.8merch.com/product/o-zorn-vermillion-haze/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Seeing Red Records EU</a></b> / <b><a href="https://seeingredrecords.8merch.us/product/o-zorn-vermillion-haze/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Seeing Red Records USA</a></b> from Friday 15th March 2024.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Links</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.ozornrocks.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Official</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ozornofficial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://ozorn.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BandCamp</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ozornband/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></span></p></span>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-77011353776124003272024-03-12T13:02:00.000+00:002024-03-12T19:10:10.539+00:00Canadian Sludge Metal Juggernauts DOPETHRONE Return With New Album "Broke Sabbath" on Totem Cat Records.

The beast has awakened and it's now ready to deliver maximum levels of grim, fuzz and fun with their sixth studio album "Broke Sabbath", a noxious 7-tracker recorded by long-time collaborator Jean-Baptiste Joubeaud and coated with copious amounts of asphyxiating sonic density thanks to mastering from Brad Boatright. <br /><br />About the album, the band says: “We went full ‘Volume 4’ on this one. The last few years have been thought for the underground, we swam against a tsunami of nonsensical bullshit and still managed not to drown. It's just like a stew, we all know that the scum always rises to the top... And here we are! We decided to turn up the ‘not giving a fuck’ knob to 11, stepped out of our rusty dumpster, gave it a spit-shine and lit the fucker on fire. We went ‘full DIY’ on the cover artwork. We grabbed a shit-ton of Hochelaga alley dirt, junk, slutch and dumped it on our saloon floor, made a concoction of ‘fake’ blood and proceeded to surgically etch the Dopethrone logo on this stinking putrid pile. We also made all our videos with no budget and full dedication. Passion is known to exceed the norms of expectation, but we're not passionate, we're obsessed, so you better buckle up.”<br /><br />"Broke Sabbath" will be released in the spring of 2024 on various vinyl editions, CD and digital through independent label Totem Cat Records. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Don't miss their latest video for Life Kills You below</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lsre39PKEjw" width="320" youtube-src-id="Lsre39PKEjw"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br />New album "Broke Sabbath" - Out this spring on Totem Cat Records (vinyl/CD/digital)<br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1e0o7cNLi-2rmG77s7R-zNqcjiZLk-AJYIecI_zgjnHZwQ3EebZ2JnSv4DFoeWJsRdmINW1IORCOZo23FYATc3IzQ4Si6o4s-XuQP1bY77BqG-5kblOJdcwegIdfElrod8plUwgW3r13gSC190RxeLFA3Shkz1fmEvQ8hGbmzTSrgvgXoecSv6sG2nqv/s3788/unnamed%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3788" data-original-width="3788" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1e0o7cNLi-2rmG77s7R-zNqcjiZLk-AJYIecI_zgjnHZwQ3EebZ2JnSv4DFoeWJsRdmINW1IORCOZo23FYATc3IzQ4Si6o4s-XuQP1bY77BqG-5kblOJdcwegIdfElrod8plUwgW3r13gSC190RxeLFA3Shkz1fmEvQ8hGbmzTSrgvgXoecSv6sG2nqv/w640-h640/unnamed%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /><b><u>TRACKLIST:<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">1.

Sultans of Sins<br /><br />Dopethrone is a three-piece band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Active since 2008, this DIY gang encompasses the bleakness of black metal, the steadfastness of New Orleans-style sludge, and a heavier-than-thou doom mentality. The riffs are thick, punishing, suffocating and destructive, with lyrics based on self-destruction, murder, cannabis and sleazy drug abuse. The band refers to their music as “Slutch”, the Canadian term for cold sludge or dirty mud snow. They once described it as “frozen sludge, snow covered in crackhead diarrhea, blood, tears and broken dreams”.<br /><br />After their second release "Dark Foil" (2011), Dopethrone started drawing some attention and were invited by Voivoid to play Roadburn Festival in 2012. They since haven’t stopped growing their audience in Europe, their adoptive land. Since their formation, Dopethrone has released five studio albums as well as some collaborations with other artists, and have regularly toured Europe and Canada.<br /><br />After a series of tours in 2019, Dopethrone has retreated to focus on the “delicate” baking of their sixth studio release. This new album entitled "Broke Sabbath" will be released in the spring of 2024 through French independent label Totem Cat Records, followed by shows in North America and Europe.<br /><br /><b><u>Dopethrone 2024 shows:<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">19.04 - Victoria, BC - Wicket Hall<br />20.04 - Vancouver, BC - Green Auto<br />21.04 - Kelowna, BC - Jackknife Brewery<br />22.04 - Nelson, BC - The Royal<br />24.04 - Edmonton, AB - The Buckingham<br />25.04 - Calgary, AB - Modern Love<br />26.04 - Regina, SK - The Exchange<br />27.04 - Winnipeg, MB - Handsome Daughter<br />----<br />07.08 - Warsaw (PL) Hydrozagadka<br />08.08 - Jaroměř (CZ) Brutal Assault Fest<br />09.08 - Waldmunchen (DE) Void Fest<br />10.08 - Seelbach (DE) Hoflärm Festival<br />11.08 - Basel (CH) Quarterdek<br />13.08 - Nijmegen (NL) Merleyn<br />14.08 - Berlin (DE) Neue Zukunft<br />15.08 - Hamburg (DE) Hafenklang<br />16.08 - Copenhagen (DK) Stengade<br /><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b><u>Dopethrone is:<br /></u></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Vince - Guitar & Vocals<br />Vyk - Bass<br />Shane - Drums<br /><br /><b>Dopethrone links<br /><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=374cb9794c&e=d771f806f7">F</a><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=04573fbbbd&e=d771f806f7">acebook</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=ad07935740&e=d771f806f7">Bandcamp</a> ⎜ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=276be0c6a3&e=d771f806f7">Instagram</a><br /> <br />Totem Cat Records links<br /><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=9379563851&e=d771f806f7">Website</a> ⎪ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=2638b7d4c6&e=d771f806f7">Facebook</a> ⎪ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=70d69f120f&e=d771f806f7">Bandcamp</a> ⎪ <a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=744fd9ff0c&e=d771f806f7">Instagram</a></span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Thanks to Purple Sage PR for all of the details.</span></div>Outlaws Of The Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825716855728938589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444795387003740633.post-44768227704903412762024-03-10T14:03:00.002+00:002024-03-10T14:03:32.342+00:00Full Tone Generator - Refuge Of Sinners (Album Review)<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwbu0uROiQ6bmzOAq6TxMx2e2FuVSxm-4cfoeie-8QRNiIdSt_ANZR9jJG7PPMzqP5RkHPlQ-LuauxDY7_NLa1d6bo8nunrOvlrCJQtHvO6CmHWtzhdh110BdbzlWJCjQni0kocM6hQC5_cxnHjgQBWWKnytA0ckRUvFMl-65AOcYLly-U1Ovt-bwsMlb/s1200/FTG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwbu0uROiQ6bmzOAq6TxMx2e2FuVSxm-4cfoeie-8QRNiIdSt_ANZR9jJG7PPMzqP5RkHPlQ-LuauxDY7_NLa1d6bo8nunrOvlrCJQtHvO6CmHWtzhdh110BdbzlWJCjQni0kocM6hQC5_cxnHjgQBWWKnytA0ckRUvFMl-65AOcYLly-U1Ovt-bwsMlb/w640-h640/FTG.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Release Date: March 04th 2024.

font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Refuge Of Sinners is the new album from Aussie Desert/Stoner Rockers Full Tone Generator who return after an almost six year absence with a record that’s quite different to their acclaimed 2018 debut Valley Of The Universe. That record was produced by Bubba Dupree and Brant Bjork which showcased the band’s Stoner Rock credentials from the start. However, this album tells a different story with Full Tone Generator delivering a record that takes cues from the Psych Rock, Sludge Rock and Alt-Metal environments without sacrificing their core Desert/Stoner Rock sounds.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">With a more free-flowing Punk Rock and Classic Rock style appearing within the album that allows Full Tone Generator to offer a more muscular and metallic sound especially on the albums early tracks of Kenny, Take Me and Juan Carlos. Their love for bands such as KYUSS, Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet can be heard but Full Tone Generator are perhaps direct descendants of those legendary bands when the more sonically based grooves start to appear mostly within tracks such as Juan Carlos and Find Out.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Full Tone Generator experiments with their music at different parts of the album with more melodic and progressive structures that sees the band evolve as musicians compared to their debut album. With a subtle 1990’s Alternative feel allowing the record to become more powerful as time passes by, the sound of the Desert delivered by Full Tone Generator becomes more cinematic in scope before the album ends on a natural high. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Altered State is the debut album from Greek Alternative/Grunge/Stoner Rockers A Monkey Shine. The album is quite an enjoyable experience with the band delving into the more melodic style of Stoner Rock with moments of heavy Grungy atmospherics. A Monkey Shine lean quite heavily into the Alt Rock/Metal way of life with how the vocals are delivered and emotionally based lyrics throughout the album. However, the sound can also be quite DOOM & GLOOM based.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The opening two songs of Get To The Point and Cotton White Overdrive sees A Monkey Shine playing more theatrical styles of music with moments of Pallbearer based DOOM appearing mostly on Cotton White Overdrive and Prog Rock vocal choices make the album quite a contemporary sounding Stoner based release. There’s a wicked style of heavy grooves that shows A Monkey Shine have their own way of playing modern day Stoner Rock with Alternative Rock melodies.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The band’s use of piano can be quite jarring and over the top at first but by third song Audiodrip, I began to admire the different and vivid style of melodies that A Monkey Shine played on the record with a small A Perfect Circle and LIVE (The Band) influence starting to appear. Some folks within the Stoner Rock underground scene may have a more difficult time embracing the band’s haunting sounds and emotionally charged lyrics. However, the pay-off is well deserved with A Monkey Shine playing some intense grooves throughout the rest of the album.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">There’s a hidden Post-Rock and Cosmic energy that appears on the later stages with tracks such as Lazy Eye, Deep In The Mud and Make Ends Meet which was a welcome surprise.

We always aim to express content that can raise awareness about mental health topics and human development. <br /><br />Earth Drive is characterized by a visceral and cathartic heavy sound. <br /><br />In addition to its power and volume, the band has a strong atmospheric component with hypnotic and meditative textures adorned by a charismatic, engaging, deep and captivating female voice. Spatial and ritualistic atmospheres create a unique aesthetic, making Earth Drive a remarkable experience to let us flow and travel within ourselves.<br /><br /><b>What is the best release that folks should check out from your band? <br /></b><br />Maybe this new single that will be out this March 20 and then you can check out our previous 2020 record “Helix Nebula”</span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SnX8WaM921U" width="320" youtube-src-id="SnX8WaM921U"></iframe></div><br /></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><b>Where can people find you on Social Media? </b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.earthdrive.pt" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">www.earthdrive.pt<br /></a><a href="http://www.earthdrive.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"> www.earthdrive.bandcamp.com<br /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/earthdrivesound" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"> www.facebook.com/earthdrivesound<br /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/@EarthDriveSound" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"> www.youtube.com/@EarthDriveSound<br /></a><b><a href="http://www.instagram.com/earth.drive.sound" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> www.instagram.com/earth.drive.sound</a></b></span><br /><div><br /></div>

font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Paradigm Call is the new album from Blackened Doom/Stoner Metallers Saturnalia Temple who give the classic Californian Stoner Metal landscape another pitch-bleak and aggressive makeover with their most impressive record to date. You may not consider Saturnalia Temple as your standard Stoner Metal band and there's a good reason for that. As the band delves into the fine arts of Black Metal and Drone Metal for a more devilish based sound that has a fearless attitude. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The best description I’ve heard given to Saturnalia Temple was “Imagine if KYUSS added Black Metal to their classic Stoner Metal sound”. That description has always stayed with me ever since I heard their classic debut album Aion Of Drakon. Their music has evolved tremendously since that time taking moments of Distorted Fuzz, Atmospheric Doom and Sludge Metal with the powerful harsh growls that power the creative narrative especially on Paradigm Call.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">The eight songs that make up Paradigm Call sees Saturnalia Temple evoke memories of Electric Wizard at their most fearless when the more Blackened Doom Metal elements took the band away from the standard Doom/Stoner Metal sound. You can feel similar vibes from this album with moments of heavy droned out Psychedelic movements appearing within the first half of the album especially on tracks such as Revel In Dissidence, Paradigm Call and Among The Ruins. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">However, like all great Heavy Metal bands, Saturnalia Temple always manages to conjure up melodic instrumental sounds amongst the bleak carnage within the whole narrative of the album.
