Beckie Margaret, Chapter 3: When last we left our fearless heroine in the pages of Rock And Roll Fables she had just unleashed her second single, “Divine Feminine”, on the masses (Read our review here) which continued the sonic story on the road towards her highly anticipated debut full-length. We pick up late this March with the sultry soliloquy that is “FF” which gives listeners even more insight into a larger wondrous world and Margaret’s broad musical palette.
[Read more…]Genghis Tron Expel Preconceived Notions, Forge New Path With The Electro-Tinged Euphoria Of Dream Weapon
It’s hard to wrap one’s head around Genghis Tron. Are they Metal? Are they Doom? Are they Electro? Are they “Cybergrind”? With Dream Weapon, their first full-length in 13 years, Genghis Tron is throwing every preconceived notion you may have had about the band out the window with a fresh line up and an even fresher sound.
[Read more…]Wheel Produce Polyrhythmic Perfection With A Progressive Punch On Resident Human
Around these parts, we like to throw the word “Epic” out there quite a bit. Mostly because it’s the best descriptor when trying to accurately express how massive something sounds. And after hearing only the first song off Wheel’s upcoming magnum opus, Resident Human, we’re afraid that that term is going to get overused once again. Sorry?
[Read more…]Dvne Produce Prolific Prog On Raucous Sophomore Shredder Etemen Ænka
Etemen Ænka, the latest slab of awesome from Dvne (Pronounced “Dune”) is like the perfect Prog pinnacle when At The Drive-In’s more raucous moments collide with Mastodon’s refined riffage. And as far as second records go, Etemen Ænka is undeniably a triumph from the first blast straight through to the last gasp.
[Read more…]Greenleaf Channel Homme And Hermano On Hella Rawkin’ Echoes From A Mass
As a massive fan, I try to limit how often I throw out comparisons to Kyuss (And, to a lesser extent, Queens of the Stone Age) but with Greenleaf, it’s kinda hard not to as it’s rightly deserved. “Good God I Better Run Away” in particular is like this ferocious forging of Kyuss’ Desert-soaked fuzz and Hermano’s honed wall of sound with Josh Homme’s velveteen voice as is opener “Tides” which has guitarist Tommi Holappa rippin’ it up like Homme used to during his early days. And now that that’s out of the way let’s get to the rest of Echoes From A Mass, shall we?
[Read more…]Untitled Metal Column: Pupil Slicer, Mirrors
Pupil Slicer make the kind of heavy that compelled us to resurrect “Untitled Metal Column” for the first time in over a year. We don’t use this column for any reason and only clean the mothballs off when it’s something really deserving like this London-based trio that is rightly being hailed as one of the next big things in Metal. Fer chrissakes, their name alone warrants attention to see if the music matches the moniker (Spoiler alert: It does!).
[Read more…]Dust Moth Return With Cathartically Crushing Rising // Sailing
Sometimes a promo for a band that I don’t listen to on the regular comes across ye olde digital desk and I have to go back to see what I’ve covered in the past for research which often turns to regret. Regret because, more often than not and especially in the case of Dust Moth, I realize that I’m missing out an artist that is aurally awesome.
[Read more…]Pulp Rawk: Club 42 By Joanna Angel
Much like the classic Ghostbusters quandary towards the conclusion of the film regarding answering to the affirmative when a higher power asks if you’re a god: When a choose-your-own erotic fantasy novel comes across your digital desk asking for a review…the answer is always “YES!”
[Read more…]Singles! Shedonist, “Daddy”
Blues-fueled Alternative Rawk is the name of the game when it comes to Shedonist’s latest single, “Daddy”, so if you grew up in the ’80’s and ’90’s like I did then you’re in for a treat. And if you didn’t, you’re still in for a treat because the new song rawks.
[Read more…]Guerilla State Rise And Rebel On Debut EP Autonomy: Part One
Along the lines of Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem, and even The Clash to an extent, Guerilla State make the kind of Folk meets Punk meets Americana that speaks out with sharp jabs at the current global and political climate while also compelling listeners to sway along with the sweeping choruses and shout-at-the-top-of-your-lungs choruses.
