We first got sucked into the magic that is Caustic Casanova with the release of the trio of Pantheon EP’s which we mentioned in our review for their last badass beast called God How I Envy The Deaf (Released in 2019 and can be read all about right here) and can safely say that it’s no small task to follow ALL of that up. But the quartet from Washington, D.C. managed to do just that with their fifth LP that looks like an EP but sounds like a double LP. Get all that? You will!
[Read more…]Singles! Senseless Optimism, “Done”
Wow, what a breath of fresh air the newest single from Lowell’s Senseless Optimism is. But wait, what? ANOTHER artist out of Lowell filling up our headspace on RNRF?!?! Looks like it! And we’re all going to have to accept that Lowell is quickly turning into the next hot hub for some of Massachusetts’ best new emerging artists.
[Read more…]Stake Bring Gargantuan Sounds With The Grunge-Inspired Post-Metal Ruckus That Is Love, Death And Decay
The band formerly known as Steak Number Eight is back with a brutiful (Brutal + beautiful!) new opus that’s not so much the next logical progression from the Stake rebrand on 2018’s Critical Method but more a gargantuan leap up the evolutionary ladder of heaviness into what could be the Belgium quartet’s final form.
[Read more…]Cold Gawd Tap Into Some Pure ’90’s Alt Rawk Magic With A Modern Twist On God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here
Nothing quite pulls at ye olde heartstrings like some great throwback ’90’s Alt-Rawk. We’re not talking Grunge, which ran parallel to the burgeoning Alternative scene of the ’90’s, we’re talking the Sugar’s of the world and the Hum’s with walls of sound and fuzzy guitar sounds and vocals that seemingly float on air and a kind of magic that Cold Gawd has seemingly masterfully brought into the present for a new generation with God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here.
[Read more…]Frayle Welcome You To Spooky Season With Haunting Skin & Sorrow
The perfect soundtrack for the incoming 2022 edition of Spooky Season, Frayle’s sophomore outing is haunting and heavy, existing in an ethereal space that’s both exciting and engaging. With Skin & Sorrow, the Cleveland outfit has upped the ante of what “beauty in the breakdown” truly means combining elements of Goth, Doom, Post-Rawk, and even Prog at times to give listeners an otherworldly listening experience that truly transcends.
[Read more…]Lurid Purple Flowers Crunch And Caress On Fiery New EP No Sympathy
We’re just gonna come out and say it: No Sympathy packs a WALLOP! Hot on the heels of Mania, the second release from Boston’s Lurid Purple Flowers THIS YEAR delivers four new tracks that are simultaneously delightful and devastating and a sort of anti-Sap in the way this Indie-Grunge trio bring the loud to our earholes.
[Read more…]PIG Makes Old School The New School On Relentless And Retro The Merciless Light
Not even parts of a whole anymore but fans of KMFDM’s beginnings have surely been getting a treat these last few years with that Industrial juggernaut still rolling along after 30+ years and Raymond Watts’ PIG back in full swing since 2016 and, more often than not, utilizing the talents of fellow former KMFDMer’s like En Esch and Steve White (As well as axe-master Gunter Schulz who does not feature on this particular record) as is the case with PIG’s latest outing The Merciless Light.
[Read more…]Tysk Tysk Task Create Something Equally Explosive And Emotive With Elegant New Full-Length You’re Sorry More
We’re biased when it comes to Massachusetts-based artists, okay? And we’ve stated that many, many, many, MANY times in these pages. It helps a lot that our local scene seems to rule on the regular and with that said, we bring you the upcoming full-length from Lowell’s Tysk Tysk Task which not only rules on the regular but delights on the daily! Cheesy statement? No doubt. Totally accurate? Oh, hells yes!
[Read more…]Clutch Birth A Brilliant, Albeit Abbreviated, Beast With 13th Full-Length Sunrise On Slaughter Beach
Fans will inevitably complain that Clutch’s 13th full-length, and first in almost 4 years, also happens to be their shortest to date. But in the case of Sunrise Of Slaughter Beach, the Maryland natives forego what’s expected and lean into a “quality over quantity” approach to bring listeners nine tracks of some of the best, and easily most diverse, Clutch music of their 30+ year career.
[Read more…]Lucia Cifarelli: A Rock And Roll Fables Conversation
There’s no denying that, almost 40 years into their career, the Industrial juggernaut known as KMFDM is still a force to be reckoned with on the scene. They’ve survived a constantly changing music industry, line up changes, and most recently, a global pandemic to come back with what might be their greatest, and most “KMFDM”, release to date with HYENA which sees the light of day on September 9th through Metropolis Records. Recently we had the privilege of chatting with KMFDM singer/songwriter Lucia Cifarelli via email about the new record, the upcoming fall tour (Hitting Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on October 12th), her recent solo outing I Am Eye (Available via Bandcamp here) among other topics and it goes a little something like this:
