Sunn O))) Tour Dates

We here at Can this even be called Music? Defend since the very beginning the true music, which is often at the antipode of what most people today considers music. Sunn O))) makes no exception. Although many will call them noisemakers, asking “Can this even be called music, dude? Put back LMFAO and shut the fuck up!”, we find them truly amazing, and quite unique, although there are some other bands like this one.

Music, since the dawn of times, is there to convey emotions, before conveying messages, and Sunn O))) seem to have brought music to its original purpose, … Read more

Murder Construct – Compelled by Mediocrity (Results, 2012)

Listen to this while you read!

Fucking brutal.

That’s how I would put Murder Construct’s new song, “Compelled by Mediocrity”.

The song has made quite some waves since it’s release. To understand why, just watch the lyric video below.

My favorite line might be “Booooorn tooooo suck!”.

Why adding “The Band” to “Aly”? Of course we could be mistaken, with Aly &  AJ, Doctor Aly Abbara, Aly Michalka…

I’d hit that…

Who said that?

Never mind…

Welcome to Our Nation is Aly The Band’s not-so-original album name. I guess it was made that way so it could reflect the album’s content. Not so original hardcore punk.

I mean, it’s not bad! In fact, Aly The Band made something quite good!

Unfortunately, this album won’t change a thing in the hardcore world, since it does not bring anything new … Read more

Exist – In Mirrors EP (2010)

Listen to this while you read!

Groovy ambient progressive death post-metal.

That’s about the most accurate way I thought of to categorize Exist.

The EP, which is just a few minutes under the 30 minute mark, starts with the impressive “Writhe”. The clean guitar here is just a hint of what’s to come later in this song, and on the rest of the album. But sooner than later, the death metal part of this unique blend soon comes to the surface, with harsh vocals, blast beats, and heavy riffs.

There is a very cool atmosphere created with the help of … Read more
