Car Bomb – Third Revelation (w^w^^w^w, 2012)

by Dæv Tremblay

AT FUCKING LAST!

Car Bomb’s first single from their upcoming album w^w^^w^w (some will call it sinewave or whatever, but be a true one and call it “double-u-caret-double-u-caret-caret-double-u-caret-double-u”).

And guess what! It features Joe Duplantier from Gojira! It’s not as if it was written in the video title!

Car Bomb’s album Centralia left a permanent mark in my mind, and hearing this song makes me think that double-u-caret-double-u-caret-caret-double-u-caret-double-u will be at least as fucking great as Centralia was.

Om Mani – Apology (2009)

France has got some really nice metal, and if you don’t own any album coming from this very country, you now have the chance to, because this one is a killer!

Om Mani conveys messages coming from Buddhism, from what I can understand, as the band’s name is taken from a popular Sanskrit mantra; Om mani padme hum. This might sound kinda new wave, … Read more

Reflux – The Illusion of Democracy (2004)

by Dæv Tremblay

Listen to this while you read!

Where today’s idols come from.

That’s what I can say just after reading the cast : Tosin Abasi, Evan Brewer, Ash Avildsen, and Vinny Vinh.

All those dudes weren’t that much known before the album, and now everyone talks about Abasi’s Animals as Leaders or T.R.A.M., Evan Brewer’s now with The Faceless and has a bass-only solo album, Ash Avildsen launched Sumerian Records,  and Vinny Vinh must be drumming in his mom’s basement.

Impressive, eh?

Reflux shows above all insane musicianship. Tosin and Evan tappings, fast riffs and constant changes within the songs make … Read more

Journal – Casualties of War (2007) and Unlorja (2010)

by Dæv Tremblay

This is a big day, and here’s two more reviews for Journal.

Casualties of War

Have you ever been charged with manslaughter? Has your doctor ever told you that you had schizophrenia or were bipolar? Do you feel a visceral hate for any music besides what’s on your personal computer or iPod?

If you answered yes to one of these questions, then Journal is for you.

Directly from California, this band hits us like a tour van going 100 mph (like it could go that fast… well maybe down a hill). With a special and unique blend of deathcore, math, … Read more
