[Read more…]Singles! Salem Wolves, “Breaking Grounds”
Seems like we were just waxing poetic about Salem Wolves and a new single recently and now they’re back at it again?!?! That’s right! One of your most favorite Boston Rawk outfits is amping up the release of their forthcoming EP with another taste in the form of one of their most diverse tracks to date entitled “Breaking Grounds”.
[Read more…]Crowbar Show Why They’re Still The Definitive Sludge Lords And Still Going Strong After Three Decades On Zero And Below
In the year of our lord 2022, and over 30 years into their career as Sludge Metal GODS, there’s absolutely no denying what a new Crowbar record is going to sound like. It’s that same kind of comfort fans get when they press “Play” on any AC/DC masterpiece and with their latest, Zero And Below, the New Orleans outfit have managed to craft a quintessential Crowbar record that stays true to their roots while adding a slew of vibrantly vicious new sonic cuts to their already impressive arsenal of legendary tracks.
[Read more…]KYOTY Speak Volumes On Gargantuan Instrumental Post-Metal Isolation
If I’m being honest, I tend to shy away from reviewing instrumental records as a general rule of thumb because for me at times it’s a lot harder to nail down the feel of a vocal-less record when you don’t have someone blatantly or obviously emoting over a killer soundtrack. That said, it tends to be a big deal when a record comes across ye olde digital desk sans a voice and gets the kind of response that KYOTY’s Isolation does and necessitates a review from us. It helps, too, that KYOTY is a bit of a regional outfit for us and really helps that the monolithic instrumental sounds they manifest manage to speak volumes without said voice.
[Read more…]Singles! BAIT, “My Tribe”
It’s so funny to me that a regular annual column for a blog I used to write for (“I Read AP’s 100 Bands You Need To Know In ____ So You Don’t Have To” over on Pop!Blerd which you can read here) over 10 years ago led me to Baddies which led me to Michael Webster which led to BAIT (And eventually Cool Thing Records who have yet to disappoint in the new music department). Life’s funny that way.
[Read more…]The Birthday Massacre Venture To Lush New Synthetic Haven On Expansive Electro Expedition Fascination
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.
