You’re Lucky, God, That I Cannot Reach You is Down I Go‘s sophomore full-length release, after “This Is Dinocore”, as well as two shorter EP’s and a Christmas single.

I can safely say that this is their best work to date. The recording quality is excellent, a thing that was sometimes lacking before, … Read more

Here lies Unexpect…

by Dæv Tremblay

Unexpect was like a great friend to me. A friend I looked up to and kept impressing me. More than just a friend, Unexpect was a brother, a sister, a father, a mother, and a band with which I shared tastes and brainwaves. After years of respectable works and inspiration, now, here lies Unexpect. A jewel of avant-garde metal leaves us, today, in mourning. Let’s hear again some of their most beautiful works:

So, here’s the tl;dr: SB will release their new album Ankaa through their label Art as Catharsis in November 2015 if they meet their goal of getting $3,500 in one month. The album contains four tracks of decent length (3, 13, 10, and 8 minutes) and with epic titles (such as “Main Sequence (Dacelo novaeguineae)”.

The avant-garde group Thinking Plague needs your help to fund their seventh full-length album. With about 45 minutes of material and 6 songs, the album with the projected name of Hope Against Hope would come somewhere in September of 2016. The band asks $8,000 for studio time and production of the album. Right now they’re at just under $2,000, so almost a quarter of the way there and there are only 3 days passed! Feel free to contribute any amount!… Read more
