The Banishment Meld Machine And Bone, Create A Modern Industrial Metal Maelstrom On Debut Full-Length

8 March 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

On paper, The Banishment is one weird ass concept. Take a legendary guitar god like George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, etc) and transplant his art into a world inhabited by Ministry and Filter on the regular. That’s right, we’re talking Industrial Metal as the main course of what The Banishment’s serving up to yer earholes. But y’know what? It works. Extremely well.

Incoming! 23 for ’23: The Rock And Roll Fables Guide To The Greatest The Next Year Has To Offer… As Of Right Now

27 January 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

Here we go again! Part wishful thinking, part playing detective while piecing together social media updates, and part actual facts! We could only be talking about our latest crystal ball viewing as we look to the year 2023 and hope for the best that those “confirmed” releases actually come out and that maybe our thoughts and prayers are answered when it comes to those with less concrete plans as of this posting. Join us, won’t you?

22 in ’22: Rock And Roll Fables’ Guide To What To Get An Earful Of In The New Year

11 January 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

I don’t why I thought it’d be a good idea to do both an end of the year list and preview list reflecting the year they’re happening in….but here we are. Our list of twenty one albums and change has already posted (Which you can read here) so now it’s time to close the book on 2021 and look to the future with 22 albums we think will make this year sound even better than the last…and change.

PIG Digs Deep, Gets Dancier With A Bevy Of Industrial And Electro Luminaries On Drugged, Dangerous, & Damned

4 November 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

On the one hand, I typically despise writing about remix records but on the other, I love the Lord Of Lard. That said, I’ve recently come to the realization (Or was it a revelation?) that a remix album done right is akin to a new album unto itself utilizing the ebb and flow a regular record would have in place. As is the case with Drugged, Dangerous, & Damned which takes that embedded Raymond Watts DNA found in all the tracks and tweaks them to somehow dig down deeper in the roots to present listeners with a coherent collection of tracks that’s like classic KMFDM and early Skinny Puppy. In fact, the only flaw found here is the fact that the release should’ve been timed more perfectly to actually coincide with Halloween. We’ll take five days removed, though, and move on.

19 for ’19: An Even More Exhaustive Look/Speculation On What Will Float Yer Collective Boats In The Coming Year

26 December 2018 By jesse 1 Comment

Holy hell do we have to nip this thing in the bud before we even start! The idea was to have 19 solid releases that are in various states of development to fill out our list of most anticipated for 2019 (Get it? 19 in ’19) but then we kept thinking about ALL THE REST that are due (supposedly) so we had to add a precursor to said list which, well, got kind of insane. So for your reading pleasure is this stream of consciousness thing we concocted before the actual list which follows directly after. We even put artists in bold so you can skip around the wordsplosion that’s about to happen. Thanks in advance for reading! [Read more…]

Filter has always been an important band to me. Imagine if you will a world without the interwebs, where you can’t immediately identify a song from a new band you never heard of in a microsecond. [Read more…]
