WAY TO END – Various Shades of Black

by Lefteris Kefalas

WAY TO END are back nearly four years after their debut album ‘Desecreated Internal Journey’ and it seems that after all this long time the band returned more focused and mature than ever. With the addition of Vaerohn of WTEPENSEES NOCTURNES as a permanent bassist and  vocalist the band created a musical delirium entitled ‘Various Shades of Black’, progressing and regressing further into the realms of experimentation.

From the album’s very first moment, WAY TO END present their very own approach on black metal, an interesting juxtaposition of its dark and violent quantities mixed in a classical, jazz … Read more

The Dillinger Escape Plan – One Of Us Is The Killer

by Dæv Tremblay

Stream this at Pitchfork!

The Dillinger Escape Plan, a band I believe everybody knows in the mathcore audience. And the band deserves it!

Through countless time signatures and rhythmic changes, they will use often uncommon and uneasy keys with a good bunch of dissonant chords and life-threatened screams (along with some more melodic lines).

The Dillinger Escape Plan always knew how to surprise us, and deliver us some of the most interesting and challenging music to listen to. That’s why we love them!

Get your hands on that album on iTunes or Amazon (most music stores will have it, too), … Read more

Chaostar – Anomima

by Dæv Tremblay


Anomima.

This name may not evoke a simple thought in your mind.

The story is different for me.

After listening to this album, the name Anomima sends my mind on a vast journey. A journey of beautiful, desolate, and meaningful landscapes. Those that are shaped by emotion, not erosion.

Anomima makes me travel different countries, each with their language, their culture, and their faces. Anomima is timeless, neither ancient, or future, and definitely not contemporary. Anomima is unpredictable : once you think you’ve got it, and you’ve got a sense of what awaits you, new challenges will be offered to … Read more

DIRT SPAWN DISEASE – ‘Under Indifference’ video available

by Lefteris Kefalas

It’s been quite some years since we‘ve heard of Dirt Spawn Disease and the lack of announcements is unreasonable and discouraging to say the least. It took the band five years for the release of the music video for ‘Under Indifference’ but finally the video is available for our viewing pleasure.

Therefore, I thought I should give a heads-up for this outstanding band, so consider this more of a suggestion than an actual review.

”The self-titled (unreleased) album by the Athens based DSD reeks professionalism and  experimentation, a great combination of slow yet heavy sludge riffs with the complexity and … Read more

Rorcal’s New Album is the PERFECT Blend of Black Metal & Doom

by David Lopez Jr.

I can’t express how much I love this album. I’m dying to hear this album live. The intensity of this album is beyond belief. The true beauty in it all is the way that they are not just intense of their black metal vibe that is the majority of the album but in their moments when they kick in the doom and just make you want to eat all the babies within 5 miles of you.

This album NEVER has a dull moment. Energy and atmosphere are the best words you can think of. Black metal with a great touch … Read more
