Whoa. Orochen is definitely in the “don’t judge a book…” category. Ignore the scary striped Tasmanian tiger that graces the cover and embrace the sounds because on their third EP, Thylacine, the “Gothenburg-based apocalyptic post-industrial neofolk” (Per their Facebook description) quartet bring to mind Swoon-era Silversun Pickups, The Stone Roses, and even Neurosis for a truly unique blend of blissful noise.
[Read more…]Magnetic Eye Records Unleash Latest Redux And Target Alice In Chains’ Legendary Sophomore Opus
Alice In Chains is one of my all-time favorites. To the point of being almost sacred. So when Layne Staley tragically passed away, I like so many others believed that Alice In Chains was done. They weren’t and today continue to honor the legacy of Staley while cementing their status as living legends in the upper echelons of Hard Rawk and Metal.

I love me some Industrial. If we’re being honest, that’s my favorite genre. But Darkwave is a very, VERY close second. And artists like Corlyx really solidify that ranking for me and make me question whether or not I should reconsider my current genre rankings. But let’s face it, in a lot of the cases the biggest difference is the delivery. Industrial has yer heavy guitars while Darkwave relies on sultry synths to convey intent but in each case, the results are potent.
[Read more…]The Penny Antics Get Their Grunge On With Rollicking NOT(e)WORTHY EP
Unrefined and unrelenting, 2018’s NOT(e)WORTHY from England’s The Penny Antics is a rabble-rousing raucous-fest that hearkens back to a time when wearing flannel 24/7 was rad and destroying your instruments on stage nightly was innovative. Within the five tracks presented here, Lewis Hammond and Shane Wood share a masterful display of everything that made old school Grunge, Indie, and Pop Punk of the ’90’s so much fun.

[Read more…]Cavern Craft Complex Post-Rawk Bliss On Powdered
Listening through the opening salvo from Powdered, the fourth full-length from Cavern is like listening to the yearning of Dallas Green off early Alexisonfire records combined with the complexity of anything the Deftones do. The record is dense and daring, profound, prolific, alluring, and downright amazing.

[Read more…]Psychlona Take Listeners On A Righteous Journey With Venus Skytrip
I have a habit of going through my Facebook memories on the daily especially now just to see how life was when it all wasn’t such a daily shitshow. More often than not I mention music of some sort and one of my recent past searches reminded me of how brilliant the lone release from Vista Chino was. Hailing from Bradford, UK, Psychlona inhabit that brilliance wholly yet forge a bold new path forward to bring Desert Rawk into its’ next logical phase of existence. And if you think that statement was heavy then just wait until you experience Psychlona’s Venus Skytrip in full!
