Forget Morgan Freeman, I want Bill Leeb to narrate every inane facet of my life! With biting tones laid out so smooth, can you really think of anyone else who delivers messages of chaos prophesying the end of days so well? For now, though, I’ll settle by hearing Leeb recite mechanically-tinged raspy rhymes on the latest Front Line Assembly record. For now.
[Read more…]20 for ’20: An Exhausting List Of Our Favorite Music That Got Us Through A Truly Exhausting Year
It’s an understatement that 2020 was a pretty fucked up year, right? Machine Head was the last live band I saw back in February and a few days after that I found myself in an emergency room with some unexpected surgery to be had (Don’t worry, I’m fine now!) followed by the shutdown across the country. There’ve been ups, downs, and everything in between in 2020 but one constant has been the music. Artists have adapted with some keeping those schedules and releasing new albums despite not being able to tour behind them while others are holding off altogether. Some have done well with the new norm of livestreamed concerts and while I’ve checked out a few, personally they’re just not my cuppa.
[Read more…]grabyourface Heads For The Brink On Classic Industrial Sea
This is such an interesting piece of art! Kind of hearkening back to the mid-’90’s and downtrodden tunes that were emerging from the underbelly of Grunge (Think Kim Gordon-led Sonic Youth moments and the majority of the Lou Barlow-driven Kids soundtrack as a template), grabyourface’s Sea takes that sound, combines it with lo-fi Hip-Hop and the beginnings of Trip-Hop and wraps it all in an Industrial setting. Intrigued yet? Because you should be!
[Read more…]American Dream Machine Bring The Heart And The Heavy On Deadhearts
If you’re looking for the most perfect Rawk album to lift your spirits throughout this most peculiar of years then Deadhearts is the album for you! The debut magnum opus from American Dream Machine is ten of the most perfect modern Rawk anthems and easily a stand out in the year of the underdog.
[Read more…]Hands Of Attrition Traverse A New Level Of Modern Groove Metal On Colder Places
Listening through the debut release from Hands Of Attrition is similar to the experience I had when listening to Threat Signal’s Under Reprisal, Lamb Of God’s Ashes of the Wake, or Machine Head’s Burn My Eyes for the first time. And like those albums, Colder Places is just as vicious as it is vital.
[Read more…]Magnetic Eye Records Celebrates 10 Years With Day Of Doom Live Concert Albums
I could either completely exhaust myself and do four separate reviews of the albums that represent 2019’s Day Of Doom live showcase at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar heading towards the end of releases in 2020 when most are shifting their focus to year end lists and preview pieces…or just do one MASSIVE review of all the releases. Take a guess where we’re going with this one, won’t you?
[Read more…]Doom, Desert Rawk, and Black Metal Collide On Fiery Debut Release From Oldblood
A brutal, breathing behemoth in four parts which is beyond epic, Oldblood’s debut EP release has more masterful Metal within its’ short space than many a full-length released this year.
[Read more…]Pothamus Create Post-Sludge Magic On Ferocious Raya
Filling ALL your monolithic epic banger quotas this fall, the latest from Belgian Post-Sludgelords Pothamus is monumentally monolithic. It’s huge! It’s heavy! It’s heavenly! It’s all the adjectives and adverbs and, quite simply, astounding.
[Read more…]Scour Complete Caustic Trilogy With Controlled Chaos Of The Black EP
Scour is a weird animal. Mixing a variety of genres yet grounded in none of them, Phil Anselmo’s band of brothers take Metal, Grindcore, Black Metal, and more and fuse it into this unstoppable, indefinable force. On their newest release, and final part of the trilogy preceded by The Grey and The Red EP’s, they channel that energy into six unrelenting bursts of unforgettable Metal mayhem.
[Read more…]Tairrie B Returns With A Call To Arms On Feminenergy
2020 is a garbage year. We can all agree on that, yeah? One of the shining lights, at least in my little corner of the universe, has been the abundance of surprise releases in the entertainment industry. Especially in music. Just recently saw eclectic Electronic impresario Tom Vek (Check it here) and the legendary Mina Caputo (Listen here) both release new records and just before that was Feminenergy by former Manhole/My Ruin/Tura Satana front person extraordinaire Tairrie B. And it too owns.
