The Birthday Massacre have yet to disappoint. In fact, with each new offering the Toronto Electro outfit seem to continually push the envelope and defy expectations over and over again so it should come as no surprise then that on their 12th release they go further down the rabbit hole to come out the other side into an expansive new haven filled with all their synthetic signatures and grandiose Gothic overtones on an album that is undeniably TBM through and through.
[Read more…]Once Human Deliver First Essential Metal Record Of 2022 With Scar Weaver
Okay, I’m going to go there already and declare Once Human’s upcoming third full-length as the first must-hear Metal release of 2022. Imbued with the best kind of magic that causes the music to sound better and better with each repeated listen, Scar Weaver is a trip that demands your full attention from the instant “Eidolon” and all its’ glorious guitar fury kicks the record off through to the closing pangs of the Modern Groove Metal classic of “Only In Death”.
[Read more…]Singles! Eldridge Rodriguez “Have I Gone Too Far/All My Favorite Clowns Are Dead”
Already popping up as one of our most anticipated releases of this here new year, Boston/NYC quartet Eldridge Rodriguez is making a splash early in 2022 with the release of a pair of new songs that bridge the gap between 2020’s brilliant Slightest Of Treason album and what’s to come later this year on that aforementioned next full-length.
[Read more…]Venom Prison Return With Intrinsically Intricate Metal Masterpiece Erebos
If you did a double take after hearing “Pain Of Oizys”, the first single from Venom Prison’s upcoming new record, thinking this very melodic piano heavy ditty couldn’t possibly be from the same outfit who produced the blistering bombast of Samsara in 2019 then you’re probably not alone. But if you abandon the Welsh outfit after that one small bite of what Erebos has to offer then you’ll definitely be alone and missing out on hearing the ongoing evolution of Venom Prison.
[Read more…]Deeper Graves Return With A Gorgeous Grand Goth Symphony In The Colossal Sleep
Another one of those “Didn’t I review their last one?” artists where I get to be pleasantly reminded of some kickass tunes that may have gotten lost in the shuffle along the way after an initial spotlight/review, Deeper Graves is indeed back with a whole new collection of kickass tunes on the follow up to their debut (Which we dubbed a “Majestic Goth Magnum Opus” and you can read more of that here) entitled The Colossal Sleep.
[Read more…]Silverbacks Ooze Originality With A Genre-Fusing Feat On Archive Material
We can’t think of a more refreshing way to start the new year than with the upcoming sophomore slab of sonic sustenance rom Dublin’s Silverbacks. On Archive Material, fans get a veritable aural potpourri of genres this time out from Silverbacks who, despite the varied range, succeed by fusing it all together into one outstanding and cohesive opus.
[Read more…]SOM Start 2022 With Haunting Post-Rawk Odyssey On The Shape of Everything
Kicking off the new year with the continuation of an artist who, with only two new songs, still managed to leave a massive sonic impact in the previous year is always an inspiring thing. We’re talking about SOM who followed up the release of the monumental Awake EP in 2021 (Check out our review here) with the tease of The Shape Of Everything later in the year and first single “Animals” which barely scrapes the surface of what this monumental and majestic new record holds within.
[Read more…]Singles! Salem Wolves, “Hostile Music”
Amidst a flurry of riffage that creates an incessant buzzsaw-churning wall of sound sits Salem Wolves’ vocalist Gray Bouchard whose delicate delivery against the brash bombast is just the kind of cathartic contrast the Boston Rawk quartet need to deliver their most hard-hitting and hook-laden track yet.
[Read more…]The Anix Bring The Electro-Grunge On Futuristic Revenge
There are some albums that come across the desk that can’t come soon enough after an initial single is serviced. That was definitely the story when The Anix’s “Below” made its’ way to my earholes late last year. A throbbing, thumping hum of beautiful Electro-fied 30 Seconds To Mars mixed with early MuteMath that is positively hypnotic, the best thing about “Below” is that it barely scratches the surface of what the rest of Revenge has in store for listeners.
[Read more…]Singles! BAIT, “DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA”
Is 2022 the year of BAIT?!?! Gahd, we hope so. Michael Webster is back with an aural attack that’s even more visceral and in-your-face than anything found on the last BAIT outing in 2017 (Or the singles that followed, which we’ve reviewed, since). And if “DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA” is a sign of what’s to come on their upcoming new full-length (Sea Change, out April 1st on Cool Thing Records), then the whole of the music world are in for quite the sonic treat.
