There’s a lot happening in the world right now so it’s great to have perspective. Sure, you can be bummed that a particular show isn’t happening or a movie isn’t coming out this year, or some sporting event is postponed but through perseverance we’ll get through this and some semblance of normalcy will return. Shows will happen again. Movie theaters will reopen. Sports will do sports in some big sports arena. Because in the immortal words of Ian Malcolm: “Life finds a way”
[Read more…]The Brains Celebrate Psychobilly In Style With Outstanding Satana Tarantula
If you were ever curious, I listen to EVERYTHING that comes across my virtual desk. Doesn’t matter if it’s a genre I’m particularly invested in because in the interest of remaining objective to all, I say “What the hell!” and give it a shot. That said, I think I like Psychobilly??? I really dug the latest offering from BAT! last year and damn if the eighth record from Canadian trio The Brains doesn’t give me the feels as it delivers the solid goods. It also helps that both The Brains and BAT! share members.
[Read more…]Square Ape Perfect The Rawk process On Debut EP
Boston is lucky to have an artist like Dug McCormack. From Psychic Dog to BALUCHITHERIUM and more, he presents different facets of Boston Rawk. As a songwriter he’s explored a diverse variety of genres that merges the RAWK with fusion, jazz elements even and an all around experimental style wrapped in a cushy rawk and/or roll package for the people. And as a vocalist, McCormack continues that diverse trend with a style that constantly evolves and adapts which brings us to his latest project, Square Ape, and the brand new EP that just saw the light of day thanks to pent up creativity while stuck in the house (Thanks, pandemic?)
[Read more…]Singles! Rorschach Test, “Enable Me”
One of the more surprising comebacks recently has been the return of Industrial juggernaut Rorshach Test who made a name for themselves in the late ’90’s on Slipdisc Records with Unclean featuring the driving anthem “Satan” and their hyper-scorching cover of Berlin’s “Sex” being particular stand outs. As of late, they’ve been grinding away on their first new release in almost 20 years and teased that offering with singles “Done With Satan” and “Bottomless Dancer”.
[Read more…]Singles! Rx27, “Welcome To Sick City”
Our favorite ghouls from Los Angeles return with a feisty new track that’ll have you shakin’ that thang and wishing you could leave the house to rawk the eff out in public. But you can’t! Yet. And in the meantime, we’re here to help give you the best soundtrack to shake your booty to indoors. And that playlist includes this fine new mammer jammer from Rx27.
[Read more…]Untitled Metal Column: Loviatar, Lightless
We may have used the word “epic” a buttload of times when reviewing Loviatar’s last collection of recorded tunes so we’re going to come up with some different descriptors this time, okay? Like awesome. And monolithic. And gargantuan. And bold. And beautiful. But mostly masterpiece when it comes to Lightless and this band overall.
[Read more…]Me And That Man Delve Deep Into Dark Folk On New Man, New Songs, Same Shit Vol. 1
From the man that brought you “The Satanist”, “Christians To The Lions”, “GOD=Dog” and more comes some music to keep fans on their toes as the sophomore album from Nergal’s Dark/Folk/Rockabilly alter ego Me And That Man arrives on March 27th.
[Read more…]The Outfit Go Big On Anthem-Laden Rawker Viking
Per the press release for Viking, the upcoming new record by Chicago’s The Outfit, the quartet “isn’t re-inventing the wheel, and it never tries to; thats it’s charm”. That said, what they do deliver on Viking still stands out as easily one of the most anthemic Hard Rawk records of 2020.
[Read more…]PAAR Give The Gift Of One Of The Greatest Post-Punk Records Of The New Decade With Die Notwendigkeit der Notwendigkeit
First off, if you want the best descriptor of the PAAR sound then head over to their Bandcamp page now because after listening through Die Notwendigkeit der Notwendigkeit (Translated as “The Need for The Need” if you’re interested), they hit the nail on the head in that department. As for my two cents on their sound? Listening through the record is like listening through Pornography-era The Cure fronted by Siouxsie Sioux.
[Read more…]Dynamic Roster Deliver Fittingly Dynamic Debut As Imonolith Release State of Being
Like most of you, when I first heard about what would become Imonolith it sounded like the most kickass collection of Metal’s best exes ever. Ex-members of Devin Townsend Project + ex-members of Strapping Young Lad sounded like a recipe for success as a concept alone. But as fate would have it, the SYL half would eventually depart the project before it fully came to fruition but regardless, a fire was lit! The seeds were sown! And what you will have on March 27th is the constantly evolving new Metal monsters, Imonolith.
