Timelost is an accurate description when talking about the Philadelphia trio’s latest effort, Drained, because that’s just the kind of music they play and that fans will hear the instant “play” is pushed as it’s like being hit in the face with wave after wave of nostalgia-soaked Alternative and Post-Rawk which is alright by us!
[Read more…]Hand Of Kalliach Summon Melodic Death Folk On Sophomore Outing Corryvreckan
Like Frayle or Chelsea Wolfe paired with Irist or Rotting Christ, Hand Of Kalliach deliver an opus that’s both terrifying yet tender over the course of nine blisteringly beautiful tracks. It’s not just the heaviness that holds court here on sophomore outing Corryvreckan from the Scottish duo but the constant blend of extremes. Whether it’s John Fraser’s sustained screams or Sophie Fraser’s siren-like swoon coupled with crushing shreds one moment and serene atmosphere the next, Hand Of Kalliach load up their second full-length with an endless array of viscerally vibrant sounds.
[Read more…]Jon Chesbro Goes Cosmic On His Own With Vast Vultures-Less SynthEpic Dryas
Producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Jon Chesbro is someone you might already be familiar with if you dig what Derek Smith & The Cosmic Vultures collectively conjure. As the guitarist in that outfit, Chesbro regularly brings the soulful riffs to fuel Smith’s brand of Alternative Rawk but left to his own devices? The results go far beyond anything you’d expect.
[Read more…]Profiler Fan The Flames For A Full On Nu-Metal Revival With A Digital Nowhere
Look, we experienced the Nu-Metal age firsthand as both a Heavy music fan and as a retail warrior in a record store during that time and was able to take advantage (Read: Take home) of the seemingly abundance of promos about to be tossed by higher ups so we will always have a special place in our hearts for a lot of what came out of that scene… In fact, we still do.
[Read more…]Leatherrax Rev Up The Rambunctious Riot Rawk On Red Rot Rouge
Believe it or not, this is the 2nd duo we’re reviewing for you today. And we don’t know why we keep mentioning that in both this and the other post. Maybe because the sounds within each are so stellar and super heroic that we’re just kind of in awe? Anyway! Right now we’re all about Providence’s Leatherrax who recently dropped the killer Red Rot Rouge containing six tracks of pure noisy Rockabilly Riot Rawk.
[Read more…]Sundrifter Bring The Generator Parties To The Green Monster With Majestic Desert Rawk Opus An Earlier Time
Bay State Desert Rawk?!?! Sure, why not. Boston’s definitely got the Rawk aspect down so why wouldn’t we be throwing generator parties of our own as well especially on an album that’s just oozing with the same vibes that once conjured Blues For The Red Sun. And that’s just what Sundrifter do on their elaborate third LP called An Earlier Time which is filled with majestic riffs, soaring vocals, and fuzzed out feels the moment that “Limitless” cruises in straight through until the closing ethereal hymnal of “Last Transmission” fades out.
[Read more…]TELL Ready Their Coming Out Party With Alt Americana Life In Reverse
Your favorite new artist of 2024 is already here?!?! That can’t be right, can it? But just listen to the Alt Americana meanderings coming out of Boston’s TELL and, ahem, tell us we’re wrong, okay?
[Read more…]Forty Years In And It’s Like KMFDM Is Just Beginning On Fresh And Fiery LET GO
It can’t be almost forty years of the Ultra Heavy Beat, can it? Seems like only yesterday we were walking over to the now defunct Avalon in Boston to see them for the first time on the Symbols tour… which, come to think of it, was almost 30 years ago at this point. So yeah, math is adding up but KMFDM is not slowing down and with their latest, and 23rd (!!!) overall, they’re continuing to prove how they lasted as long as they have.
[Read more…]Static-X Bring The Latest Evil Disco Anthems On Crushing Project Regeneration Vol. 2
We live in a truly blessed age. One where tragedy brings triumph sometimes and following a well thought out roll out, a band that essentially could’ve been forgotten has been utterly reborn. We’re of course, talking about Static-X who is set to release the second half of their Project Regeneration series ahead of another new tour celebrating the legacy of the late Wayne Static.
[Read more…]Heave Blood & Die Drop First Must Hear Record Of 2024 With Burnout Codes
Um, we think we may have already stumbled upon one of our most favorite records of 2024 already??? At the very least, the newest from Heave Blood & Die has already caused us to start our ‘Best of ’24’ drafts list fairly early. We like Burnout Codes so much that it’s one of those records where we’re hesitant to listen to it too much right now for fear of getting sick of its’ brilliance (And we’ve already listened to it a LOT) but honestly, we don’t foresee that happening anytime soon. Or maybe we’re just repeating that to ourselves because we can’t stop listening to it???
