This is it! The one you’ve been waiting for. Forget all other artists because BAIT is here with your most favorite debut of 2022 (Aside from labelmates A Cause In Distress at least). The brainchild of ex-Baddies vocalist Michael Webster and accompanied by former bandmate Jim Webster along with Luke Branch and MRE (Who also produced the record), Sea Change is an anxiety-ridden journey told in 10 parts. If any record captures the feel of uncertainty that the last 2 years has wrought it’s this one with even the recording lending itself to the atmosphere and opting (Mostly out of necessity) for more remote and separate sessions to capture it all.
[Read more…]Singles! A Cause In Distress, “Submission”
Oh, wow! As if anyone needed more of a reason to go gaga for A Cause In Distress! The band you love to love is back with their most righteously robust track to date with “Submission” which lands on March 25th through Cool Thing Records.
[Read more…]Absent In Body Create A New Primal Rage On Debut Plague God
Supergroup is a weird fucking term. And completely objective. For me, an artist like Old Man Gloom is the definition of a supergroup put in the same realm as, say, Down, there’ll inevitably be people who are all “Who is even in this band?” (For the record, OMG features members of Cave In, Isis, and Converge i.e. most of the Mount Rushmore of Boston heavy). Again, objective. Which brings us to similarly underground supergroup Absent In Body who feature in their ranks members of Amenra, Neurosis, and Sepultura and have a debut release that, as an essential part of this “supergroup” formula, sounds unlike anything that makes up the sum of its’ parts.
[Read more…]Mission To Sleep Perfect Post-Rawk Dreaminess On Lush And Loud Post Youth
Hear me out: The Receiving End Of Sirens and Alexisonfire are the flip side of the same coin. Really! If you integrate Dallas Green’s City And Colour project and Casey Crescenzo’s The Dear Hunter into the equation you’d have a fully realized Post-something kind of outfit that’d dominate the upper half of North America. Which brings us to Boston’s Mission To Sleep who, if we’re going by our logic, would sit nicely in the eye of this majestic musical storm playing their brand of emotive Post-Rawk dreaminess that’s lush, loud, and in need of your earholes.
[Read more…]Singles! BAIT, “TV Personality”
It’s almost here! The new full-length from BAIT may be right around the corner (April 1st to be exact) but that doesn’t mean that the Southend outfit can’t roll out one more song to whet our appetites a little bit more, right?
[Read more…]Killing Joke Is Cathartically Chaotic On New EP Lord Of Chaos
In a perfect world we’d be writing about the triumphant 16th studio album from the legendary Killing Joke instead of a new EP 7 years out from their last release of all new material, 2015’s Pylon. But it’s not a perfect world so what we get is two brand new Killing Joke songs along with two remixes to tide fans and the world over while that 16th full-length is being completed. And in a perfect world there’d be no need for Killing Joke’s apocalyptic aural symphonies anyhow so celebrate what we have and buckle up for Lord Of Chaos!
[Read more…]VR SEX Continue With The Cool On Sophomore Post-Rawk Trek Rough Dimension
2022 is producing a LOT, and we mean A LOT, of unexpected surprise rekkids in our regular wheelhouse of favorites. We had some hopes that this band called Drab Majesty might be back with a new record (And they just might with a recently announced support slot with AFI happening in the fall) but are completely content with the unexpected news of the sophomore outing from sorta similarly sounding VR SEX.
[Read more…]BillyBio Brings A Dense Devastation To Latest Leaders And Liars
I was never really into Biohazard, okay? Despite them being on heavy rotation during Headbanger’s Ball when my musical identity was being formed, I tended to glom onto some of the more melodic Brooklyn-based outfits at the time (Life Of Agony, Type O Negative). That’s not to say I didn’t respect what they were doing but the moment “Punishment” came on while I was waiting for something else Riki Rachtman had teased just meant it was bathroom break time. Sorry?
[Read more…]E-L-R Roll Out Robust Rhythmic Onslaught On Sanguine Sophomore Outing Vexier
We’ve definitely mentioned it before but It’s rare that you come across a band today that sounds like something…else. And that’s exactly the case when it comes to Switzerland’s E-L-R and their fantabulous sophomore outing, Vexier. Within the E-L-R DNA there’s undoubtedly some Isis, some Ruins Of Beverast, some Orochen but as a whole E-L-R sound like, well, E-L-R. And that’s rad as hell.
[Read more…]Singles! Fatigue, “The Fall (Pierce Me)”
Are you ready for your most favorite and endearing Darkwave journey of 2022 so far? Because it’s here! And Lowell’s own Fatigue is bringing it to your earholes!
