Enter the squid-luminati’s crystal ball! Gigan – Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science

by Dæv Tremblay

The new Gigan album is everything Gigan is about… Long titles and psychedelic extreme metal.

Gigan‘s last album Quasi-Hallucinogenic Sonic Landscapes has put down the basics of what to expect from this jolly company : the songs are intense, intricate, and shrouded in aural mystery.

Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science is no disappointment in this regard. Gigan succeeds once again at bringing you a challenging and entertaining piece of musical sorcery. What betrays any Gigan song when listening to it are surely the drums. I have and probably will never find another band’s drummer that plays similarly … Read more

They the artists! Rejectionary Art – Exocoetidae : Flying Fish

by Dæv Tremblay

Like their band’s name so brilliantly puts it, Rejectionary Art puts aside any convention that might have been put up in the history of music (or so).

After the intro song, which is propaganda over spazzy rhythms and harmonies (featuring Morgan Ågren, no less!), the styles come and go, follow each other in lines coming from every corner of the Americas. Bluegrass, jazz, funk, etc. etc. etc.

Each song is different from the next one, so you really don’t know what to expect, and at times you’re left paralyzed, not knowing what to do. That’s just how impressive these gents … Read more

Let’s sink the austerity boat! Peculate – Fiscal Cliffs

by Dæv Tremblay

Today’s the day I can repent from not talking to you more about the exceptional peculiarity that is the awesome one-man band Peculate.

What struck me at first with this band is Ben’s voice. Wow, dude! How versatile can a singer be, this guy nails it! From a plethora of screamings and growlings to a broad singing range, Ben will use what fits the music or atmosphere best most of the time! On top of that, his vocal melodies, harmonies and rhythmic patterns are pretty fucked up if you ask me. I don’t remember listening … Read more

Rings of Saturn’s guitarist working on a solo album! (jazzy content)

by Dæv Tremblay

Lucas Mann, RoS’ lead guitarist, is apparently now working on a solo album! The thing is, this mann is very, very talented! Let’s check out the demo playthrough he just released for the project:

That sounds really promising! It would be cool to see some more extended techniques on the album, but even now this sounds great!

Apparently, he needs some money for that, so if you can afford it head out to his indiegogo campaign just below.

And… I’m not sure I should put a link to his personal facebook page, so I’ll put a link to his … Read more
