Like Frayle or Chelsea Wolfe paired with Irist or Rotting Christ, Hand Of Kalliach deliver an opus that’s both terrifying yet tender over the course of nine blisteringly beautiful tracks. It’s not just the heaviness that holds court here on sophomore outing Corryvreckan from the Scottish duo but the constant blend of extremes. Whether it’s John Fraser’s sustained screams or Sophie Fraser’s siren-like swoon coupled with crushing shreds one moment and serene atmosphere the next, Hand Of Kalliach load up their second full-length with an endless array of viscerally vibrant sounds.
[Read more…]Singles! Wyn & The White Light, “Statue” featuring Josh Knowles
The wait is almost over for the highly anticipated debut full-length from Wyn & The White Light but the trio from New England isn’t one to let that anticipation rely simply on the promise of a collection “pomegranate-infused haunted-soul rock” to satiate fans without one more actual song to preview the record barely a month out from when Luck releases on March 19th.
[Read more…]Singles! Happy Little Clouds, “The Emperor’s Song”
We’ll be honest, we’re masking this new Singles! post as an excuse to chat early about the killer new Happy Little Clouds video coming your way soon… which is in itself an excuse to finally chat about “The Emperor’s Song” which we didn’t get a chance to properly chat about when it dropped on the eve of the most recent Bandcamp Friday. But we’re making up for last time now!
[Read more…]Jon Chesbro Goes Cosmic On His Own With Vast Vultures-Less SynthEpic Dryas
Producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Jon Chesbro is someone you might already be familiar with if you dig what Derek Smith & The Cosmic Vultures collectively conjure. As the guitarist in that outfit, Chesbro regularly brings the soulful riffs to fuel Smith’s brand of Alternative Rawk but left to his own devices? The results go far beyond anything you’d expect.
[Read more…]Singles! Jennifer Tefft & The Strange, “Caffeine”
Y’all know we listen to everything that comes through the RNRF offices, right? When it comes to what artists we are able to review/feature, there’s usually two different things that happen: A) We dig what we hear on an initial listen through and, depending on the date, will pencil it into our calendar to revisit as the release gets nearer and 2) A song or album immediately enthralls us and before we know it we have almost a whole post ready to go.
[Read more…]Profiler Fan The Flames For A Full On Nu-Metal Revival With A Digital Nowhere
Look, we experienced the Nu-Metal age firsthand as both a Heavy music fan and as a retail warrior in a record store during that time and was able to take advantage (Read: Take home) of the seemingly abundance of promos about to be tossed by higher ups so we will always have a special place in our hearts for a lot of what came out of that scene… In fact, we still do.
[Read more…]Singles! Carissa Johnson, “I Surrender”
The kind of music that Carissa Johnson creates is tantamount to the term “timeless”. Whether it’s last year’s “Congratulations” single, a guest spot on Linnea’s Garden track “In The City”, or the L’Heure Bleu, After Dark EP, there’s just something endearing in the chameleonic way that Johnson adapts and evolves with each release. And latest track “I Surrender” is no different.
[Read more…]Singles! Canyons and Locusts, “Love Goes Down The Drain”
An anti-Valentine’s Day jam combined with another gotDamn anthem and a half from Canyons and Locusts is just what “Love Goes Down The Drain” is and we’re pretty sure that what you’re reading right now will take longer to get through than the actual song itself. Which just means having it on repeat will permanently embed the duo’s newest ditty right at the front of that gray matter. Which is fine by us!
[Read more…]Leatherrax Rev Up The Rambunctious Riot Rawk On Red Rot Rouge
Believe it or not, this is the 2nd duo we’re reviewing for you today. And we don’t know why we keep mentioning that in both this and the other post. Maybe because the sounds within each are so stellar and super heroic that we’re just kind of in awe? Anyway! Right now we’re all about Providence’s Leatherrax who recently dropped the killer Red Rot Rouge containing six tracks of pure noisy Rockabilly Riot Rawk.
[Read more…]Sundrifter Bring The Generator Parties To The Green Monster With Majestic Desert Rawk Opus An Earlier Time
Bay State Desert Rawk?!?! Sure, why not. Boston’s definitely got the Rawk aspect down so why wouldn’t we be throwing generator parties of our own as well especially on an album that’s just oozing with the same vibes that once conjured Blues For The Red Sun. And that’s just what Sundrifter do on their elaborate third LP called An Earlier Time which is filled with majestic riffs, soaring vocals, and fuzzed out feels the moment that “Limitless” cruises in straight through until the closing ethereal hymnal of “Last Transmission” fades out.
