Killing Joke is back. Again. Since the reformation of the original line up for 2010’s Absolute Dissent, Killing Joke has continued to impress, surprise, and grow stronger as a band which is a feat unto itself for any outfit together for almost 40 years. On Pylon, their sixteenth studio album, they complete the trilogy (With 2012’s MMXIII sandwiched in there) with perhaps their most masterfully executed album to date. [Read more…]
IAMX Achieve Synthetic Bliss On Metanoia
Miles beyond what The Unified Field presented to the collected IAMX masses, Metanoia is a bleak, dark album fueled by mastermind Chris Corner’s bout with chronic insomnia and a severe locale change (Berlin to Los Angeles) making this, his sixth album as IAMX, probably the most incredible of all. [Read more…]
Heat Dust’s Debut Delivers Modern Post-Punk To The Masses
The return of post-punk is a glorious thing. Whether Eagulls eponymous debut and Beastmilk’s Climax in 2014 or Coliseum’s recent headfirst dive into the genre with this year’s Anxiety’s Kiss, modern bands are proving that the genre is still alive and well in 2015. Then comes Heat Dust who not only carry that torch proudly but also prove the genre has some new tricks on their debut. [Read more…]
Black Wing, New Project From Giles Corey And Have A Nice Life Mastermind, Unleashes …Is Doomed
Where to begin? Dan Barrett is a musical genius! How about there? If you haven’t heard the sonic landscape Barrett has created under various monikers already (Have A Nice Life, Giles Corey) then consider Black Wing, his latest project, your wake up call. [Read more…]
Bellusira Add Former Static-X Guitarist To Their Ranks, Aim For The Hard Rock Stars on The Healing
Soulful yet heavy with a sound at times reminiscent of the rawness of Sevendust’s debut if fronted by Sierra Kay of VersaEmerge, L.A. via Melbourne’s Bellusira harness an energy that makes their second offering, The Healing, a 2015 shining light. Add some guy named Koichi Fukuda (Static-X!!!) to the mix and this band is truly one to be reckoned with in today’s modern metal scene. [Read more…]
Boston’s Big Time Kill Lay Down Some Big Time Sounds On Debut EP
If you like your Information Society a little heavier or prefer your Revolting Cocks under the rule of Josh Bradford then Boston’s Big Time Kill is an outfit you need to check out. [Read more…]
All We Expected & Raum Kingdom Unleash The Beast On New Split
Two bands. Four songs. Over forty minutes long. If that doesn’t tell you what your’e in for when you pick up the new split from All We Expected/Raum Kingdom then I don’t know what will. I’m already biased on Raum Kingdom because they rule like no other so I’ll save the praise of their contribution until later….. [Read more…]
We Came As Strangers Reignite Trip-Hop On Eyedom
Eyedom is probably the most essential, vital trip-hop album of the 21st Century. It’s everything you loved about the mid-’90’s classics from Massive Attack and Portishead mixed with Sneaker Pimps and Sunna to create this fascinating amalgamation yet sound completely original. [Read more…]
Audiotopsy’s Natural Causes Is The ‘Natural’ Progression of Mudvayne, Skrape (Album Review)
Forget the Mudvayne/HELLYEAH connection, the selling point of the debut Audiotopsy album on Napalm Records is easily the return of Skrape vocalist Billy Keeton. Don’t get me wrong, hearing Mudvayne/HELLYEAH guitarist Greg Tribbett and Mudvayne drummer Matt McDonough thrash together in an outfit more fitting their talents is definitely a plus but Keeton’s distinct vocals pushes this project to new highs. [Read more…]
Bird transcends Pop, Trip-Hop On Figments Of Our Imagination
It’s hard to put into words the kinds of feelings evoked from listening to Figments Of Our Imagination, the latest from Janie Price AKA Bird. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all around good feelings but hard to explain nonetheless. Listening to Figments Of Our Imagination is akin to having an epiphany, a musical experience, a moment! From start to finish, the album is filled with a variety of tunes that push musical boundaries and genres yet always delivers. [Read more…]
