DERANGED – Morgue Orgy

Jul11, 2013 by Lefteris Kefalas

Brutal death metal-legends DERANGED, hailing from Malmö, Sweden, are still ripping flesh, breaking bones and eating brains like it’s still the 90’s. With the newly added Anders Johansson on guts, they just released, ‘Morgue Orgy’ EP which saw the band return faster and more brutal than ever. The album arises stormingly, DERANGED needs no introduction or other gimmick after all, it is just straight up, in your face brutal death metal. The powerful and crude riffs, ferocious and vitriolic, induced with natutal and pinch harmonics make this violent whirlpool even more intense, if that’s even possible.

Brendan Byrnes’ Micropangaea

Jun28, 2013 by Dæv Tremblay

Micropangaea is a unique thing. So unique I can’t even find any appropriate comparison or metaphor…

The use of microtonality in music has long been kept to advanced and underground acts, be it of metal, ambient or ethnic music. Jute Gyte has recently released an astonishing microtonal album, Discontinuities, which was written in 24-EDO. Basically, that means that a 24-EDO guitar will have twice as many frets as a normal one, bringing the possibility to play quarter-tones without having to always bend a string. The black metal-vibe of the album is given by the great use of dissonant intervals … Read more
