Peculate – The Chain Industry (Collateral Damage, Pt. II)

by Dæv Tremblay


The music of Peculate has been described as many things. I, however, would like to describe Peculate as restless, colourful, and eclectic.

Restless because a new LP is released every few months, with a few songs or sometimes an EP in-between. The rate of production resembles that of Omar Rodriguez-López, or, in other words, it’s a crazy production rate!

Amogh Symphony streams new song. And you thought you’d hear it all!

by Dæv Tremblay

1289, Voyeur Will Shine, Fight For Distinction, Evolution Is Mine is the first single off of Amogh Symphony‘s third album “Vectorscan”.

…And it’s mind-blowing! Meditation chants, chiptune, glitch music, noise, funk, movie music, tech-death, world music… everything seems to be found in that song! Even excerpts from “The Quantum Hack Code” are hidden in the music, hinting at the fact that this is a sequel to the story, in all it’s incandescent glory!

If you placed expectations for this album, they’re very probably ruined, but this album will definitely be a milestone in music history … Read more

…and the dark will shine upon you. Exist – Sunlight

Exist has been running for a few years now, and they’ve got a new, their first, full-length album, that’s called Sunlight. Don’t be misled by the name, it’s not rainbows and butterflies.
Listen to the second track off the album, “Self-Inflicted Disguise”, below.

Their previous albums, In Mirrors EP, is almost just technically an EP, clocking at around 28 minutes long. Some bands put out full-lengths that are shorter than this. And the album featured an awesome song suite, named by the album’s title. In Mirrors EP amazed me. What I recall most vividly is the bass tone, … Read more

What time is it? Unfortunately no it’s not adventure time, it’s AOTY contenders time!

That’s right! Winter’s approach is palpable, the merry cold hands of mister Invernal push down on us in the morning to stay in the warm comfort under the sheets, and his stingy breath just whispers to us “Stay inside”, and his frosty sperm falls down on the land…

Well… 2013 is coming to an end, and there has been TONS of awesome, challenging, mind-boggling, strange, and bold albums this year (and the list keeps growing!). We here at Can This Even Be Called Music? have for mission to spread amazing underground bands and, in the mean time, allowing you, cherished … Read more
