FIXIONS – Driver

by Lefteris Kefalas

Though summer is mostly gone, our beloved hot, summer days are and will be present for quite some time, so the conditions could not be more appropriate for this unexpected

release of this electronic substistence from France.cover FIXIONS delivered an all new EP in all secrecy, designed for short, but sweet unplanned trips far away from home.

‘Summer Clouds’ picks us up, just where the wistful and enigmatic ‘Uhler’, from last year’s Euphorion left us. This EP is yet another different approach in FIXIONS’ music, fusing both old and newly adopted elements, albeit somewhat different from  what can be heard … Read more

Brendan Byrnes’ Micropangaea

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.

The black metal-vibe of the album is given by the great use of dissonant intervals … Read more

Australasia the heavy post-rockers

by Dæv Tremblay


Sin4tr4 is the latest and possibly debut release from Italy’s Australasia. Instrumental in essence, the duo incorporates extreme metal techniques and ideas into post-rock, which gives them a distinctive sound, neither too dramatic or weak, the balance is good! On top of that, they use old school synthetizers with retro sounds! Pretty cool eh!

The EP runs at 22 minutes and is available on iTunes for around 6 bucks! And like the duo on facebook!
