Review and Interview Through My Eyes Victoria 2014

Review and Interview Through My Eyes Victoria 2014 Artist: Through My Eyes Album: Victoria Genre: Symphonic Deathcore Facebook Tracklist: 1. He Whose Slaves We Are 2. Edict Of Diocletian 3. Inquisitor 4. The Malfaisant 5. A Votuus 6. Gallows Hill 7. The Scourge 8. Victoria Stream and Download (NYP) via Bandcamp) Review:     The incorporation of symphonic elements in "modern" music is very peculiar. The simplest quarter-note pattern can transform a stale riff into a hypnotizing experience; at the same time, an overabundance of layered orchestral fanfares can instigate migraines (Im looking at you, Scrambled Defuncts). From Electric Light Orchestra to Fleshgod Apocalypse, some bands embed symphonic compositions as a highly integral aspect of their music - one thats hard to imagine these bands without. On Through My Eyes latest LP, Victoria, the various synthesized arrangements tastefully complement the music with memorable melodies without being overbearing and assuming of ...

The Seer – Prologue 2014

The Seer – Prologue 2014 The Seer Album:   Prologue Genre:   Extreme Symphonic/Progressive Death Metal Facebook Track Listing: 1. Principium 2. The Fall 3. Deviant 4. Pariah 5. Embrace Pestilence 6. Condemnation 7. Timeless 8. Eternal Cataclysm 9. Abhorrence 10. The Plague 11. Wasteland Download (320kbps) Support:   Bandcamp ($10) Preview:   �Eternal Cataclysm�/ �Embrace Pestilence� Not too shabby for my first post in over a month, huh?   This is EASILY one of the best albums of the entire year, and they�re from (where else?) Australia!   I�ve been waiting years for a full length from these guys, and it does NOT disappoint. They�re kind of like Shade Empire but with muuuuuuch more extreme death metal influences.   Fucking outstanding. download file now

Review Beneath The Barren Throne 2014

Review Beneath The Barren Throne 2014 Artist: Beneath Album: The Barren Throne Genre: Melodic Death Metal/Technical Death Metal Facebook Tracklist: 01 Depleted Kingdom 02 Chalice 03 Barren Throne 04 Putrid Seed Of Affection 05 Iron Jaw 06 Sovereign Carnal Passion 07 Sky Burial 08 Veil Of Mercy 09 Mass Extinction Codex 10 Storm Drainer 11 Unearthed Review: I just got The Barren Throne a few days ago and am already on my 4th listen; just amazing. This album is brooding and dark. While I liked their debut, Enslaved by Fear, they really stepped it up. The beginning track, Depleted Kingdom, starts out with a melancholy acoustic passage and then gets intense. Full of hooks and catchy riffs that are really memorable, their sophomore effort is not something you want to pass on. It�s definitely my favorite �true� Death Metal release so far this year. The vocals are what you�d usually expect from a death metal release, but with a bit more clarity. This album has a bit of enjoyable tribal drummin...

Review Inveterate Pathogenic 2014

Review Inveterate Pathogenic 2014 Artist: Inveterate Album: Pathogenic Genre: Deathcore Facebook Tracklist: 1. Pathogenic  2. Warpath 3. Bay Harbor Butcher 4. Screaming For Salvation 5. Mirrors Support Review: First off, this is an EP that was both more and less than I expected. After listening to this EP as a single piece of work, I was definitely impressed. The intro track, �Pathogenic� was awesome and really pulled me into what I was about to hear. However, I was honestly hoping for 5 full songs. Now once the album really begins, these guys kick into gear. Warpath literally paves the way into something seriously heavy and dissonant, while providing the listener with some interesting breakdowns that don�t fail to disappointment. The vocals in this EP crush and this band did a great job of choosing when to double track. The drums (real or not, I can�t even tell sometimes these days) also stay interesting throughout, without detracting from the rest of the music. All of the instrum...

The Infinite Void 5. Elevation 6. Emergence (Ft. Sam of Osage Hills) Bandcamp (NYP) Preview: This band is heavy, catchy, and groovy. Some really cool atmosphere going on here too. This is everything I know youre looking for, so dont be an idiot. FFO: Volumes, Erra (Impulse), etc. download file now

Review Soreption Engineering The Void 2014

Review Soreption Engineering The Void 2014 Artist: Soreption Album: Engineering The Void Genre: Technical Death Metal Facebook Tracklist: 01 � Reveal The Unseen 02 � The Nature Of Blight 03 � Breaking The Great Narcissist 04 � A Speach To Survival 05 � Utopia 06 � Monumental Burden 07 � I Am You 08 � Engineering the Void Support Review: Mechanical, brutal, and technical are the words that come to mind when I think of Soreption. Those words definitely ring true of their past albums. This new one is no exception, but there is one word I would add to that list: Certainty because I am certain this album will rape your ears. There is definitely a lot of structure to their madness. They have added catchy lyrics with hooks to them that I fully enjoy. This album is definitely their best work. Soreption are another shining example of textbook technical death metal done right. You can definitely hear earlier Decapitated influence in Anton Svedin�s riffing style. Trevor Strnad from The Black Dahl...

Review Alterbeast Immortal 2014

Review Alterbeast Immortal 2014  Artist: Alterbeast Album: Immortal Genre: Technical Death Metal Facebook Tracklist: 1.      Flesh Bound Text 2.      Of Decimus Divine 3.      Vile Remnants 4.      Ancient�s Retribution 5.      Mutilated Marvel 6.      Into Oblivion 7.      Serpentspire 8.      Throne of Maggots Review: Alterbeast recently released their debut full-length album Immortal. This technical death metal act managed to stay under my radar until somewhat recently. However, after hearing their single �Flesh Bound Text� the album became highly anticipated for me. A somewhat dramatic and theatrical opening will guide the listener from the first song, �Flesh Bound Text�, into an on going sonic assault. Personally, I found this album comparable to past releases from bands such as Beneath the Massacre and Rings of Saturn ...

Review Archspire The Lucid Collective 2014

Review Archspire The Lucid Collective 2014 Artist: Archspire Album: The Lucid Collective Genre: Technical Death Metal Facebook    Tracklist:  1. Lucid Collective Somnambulation 2. Scream Feeding 3. The Plague Of AM 4. Fathom Infinite Depth 5. Join Us Beyond 6. Seven Crowns And The Oblivion Chain 7. Kairos Chamber 8. Spontaneous Generation   Review: Welcome to the world of technical death metal with your hosts, Archspire. Canada breeds a rare type of human, mutants perhaps, whose genetics are specifically altered to allow them to perform the most insane wizardry on all instruments. Ok, so I made that up, but it makes sense. Dean Lamb and Tobi Morelli completely shred the shit out of the fret boards; I�m surprised they don�t get splinters. Jaron Evil�s bass work seems to hit all the notes the guitarists don�t while still staying amazingly relevant and high up in the mix (which I really enjoy. I hate when the bassist is drowned out). While the guitar/bass work is defini...

Review Hour Of Penance Regicide 2014

Review Hour Of Penance Regicide 2014 Artist: Hour Of Penance Album: Regicide Genre: Technical Death Metal Facebook Tracklist: 01. Through The Triumphal Arch 02. Reforging The Crowns 03. Desecrated Souls 04. Resurgence of The Empire 05. Spears of Sacred Doom 06. Sealed Into Ecstasy 07. Redeemer Of Atrocity 08. Regicide 09. The Sun Worship 10. The Seas of Light 11. Theogon Support Review: When I think of Hour of Penance, I think of speedy riffs and unrelenting drums. Throughout this album, what I really enjoyed was the Gregorian chanting that gave it this �choir-of-hell� feeling. The first half of the album definitely stays true to the Hour of Penance we all came to know through The Vile Conception, Paradogma and Sedition, just absolutely consistent, unrelenting, brutality. The second half starting with Sealed into Ecstasy has some slower parts with some really sick leads, which I truly cherish because it shows the band is refining their sound. Don�t worry, there is still warp speed timi...

Review Voice Of Ruin Morning Wood 2014

Review Voice Of Ruin Morning Wood 2014 Artist: Voice Of Ruin Album: Morning Wood Genre: Death Metal/Horny Farmer Metal Facebook Tracklist: 1.Welcome To The Stud Farm 01:27 2.Party Hard 03:58 3.Through The Eyes Of Machete 03:55 4.Day Of Rage 04:30 5.The Rise Of Nothing 04:30 6.Morning Wood 04:20 7.Viols D�sinvoltes 04:17 8.Cockn Bulls 03:27 9.Today Will End 02:41 10.Sex For Free 04:06 11.Big Dick 04:27 12.Dirty 04:09 Stream and Purchase via Bandcamp Review These Swiss dudes have made quite an interesting concept to their band. The concepts and ideas are hilarious, and the music is crushing, and you can tell these guys are a ton of fun to hang with. Usually I despise clean singing, but the clean vocals on "Through the Eyes of Machete" with the overall culmination of guitars and growls I have to admit worked out great (not so much on the title track in my opinion). Album opens up with an instrumental "Welcome to Stud Farm" and right away the track name lets you know wh...

Review Aborted The Necrotic Manifesto 2014

Review Aborted The Necrotic Manifesto 2014 Artist: Aborted Album: The Necrotic Manifesto Genre: Technical Death Metal/Grind Facebook Tracklist: 1. Six Feet of Foreplay 2. The Extirpation Agenda 3. Necrotic Manifesto 4. An Enumeration of Cadavers 5. Your Entitlement Means Nothing 6. The Davidian Deceit 7. Coffin Upon Coffin 8. Chronicles of Detruncation 9. Sade & Eibertine Lunacy 10. Die Verzweiflung 11. Excremental Veracity 12. Purity of Perversion 13. Of Dead Skin & Decay 14. Cenobites Support Review: First, let me start by saying this album absolutely slays. Second, I wasn�t really expecting to like it as much as I do (might have to do with the fact that I recently just really started getting into aborted). Global Flatline is an absolute masterpiece and they picked up right where that one left off. Per usual, they have a few interesting sound clips for intros/outros, which I always enjoy; it adds to the whole gory experience giving it theatre like qualities. Sven, being the o...

The Family Of Apostolic The Family Of Apostolic 1968 us remarkable texture of hippie folk psych and art rock 2014 mini Lp remaster edition

The Family Of Apostolic The Family Of Apostolic 1968 us remarkable texture of hippie folk psych and art rock 2014 mini Lp remaster edition Apostolic was many things: a label, a collective, a state of mind even. But before all of that, it was a recording studio set up by New Yorker John Townley. As a member of the Magicians, (you recognize that name from the Nuggets albums), Townley worked in some of the finest studios in the USA, but he felt he was on a conveyor belt. �You had to do the creation ahead of time, which is not my idea of a good time,� he says now. "You had all this stuff to play with, and you weren�t allowed to play with it.� When Townley came into an $85,000 inheritance he immediately invested in a loft building on 10th Street, New York, against the advice of, well, �everybody�. But there were fellow believers. Friends Matt Hoffman and Michael and Danny Weiss, heirs to the Weiss jewelry fortune, helped assemble the studio, which was built to bleeding-edge specificati...

Review Inferi The Path Of Apotheosis 2014

Review Inferi The Path Of Apotheosis 2014 Artist: Inferi Album: The Path Of Apotheosis Genre: Technical Death Metal Facebook Tracklist: 1. Those Who from the Heavens Came 2. Promethean Kings 3. A Betrayal Unforetold 4. Wrath of the Fallen One 5. The Ophidian Form 6. A Prelude to a Perilous Fate 7. Destroyer 8. Onslaught of the Covenant 9. Marching Through the Flames of Tyranny 10. The Ancients of Shattered Thrones 11. The Path of Apotheosis Support and Stream Review: I think this album might be my favorite release this year, maybe more so than Archspire�s The Lucid Collective (we will see after Beyond Creation�s and Son of Aurelius� new albums come out). The technical proficiency of guitarists Malcolm Pugh (Diskreet guitarist and solo project A Loathing Requiem) and Mike Low (Diskreet and ex-Enfold Darkness) is absolutely phenomenal. There are riffs for days, if not, years. I think Malcolm said there are 32 solos contained in 11 songs; fucking ridiculous. If there�s something I love mo...

The Shoes Let The Shoes Shine In 1970 holland excellent nederbeat 2014 remaster

The Shoes Let The Shoes Shine In 1970 holland excellent nederbeat 2014 remaster In the history of Nederpop, only a few Dutch bands could rival the Shoes� (formed as The White Shoes, in 1963, in Zoeterwoude) consistency of releasing top hit material. In the period between 1966 and 1970, all of their singles entered the hit parade. And afterall, it is not surprising at all, considering how hard they were working at the time, and how consistent their output was � truly one of the Netherlands� top hitmakers in the late 60s. The group specialised in good, commercial rock and pop, and was constantly promoted at the time by Radio Veronica (the station which specialised in Dutch bands � Nederbeat and Nederpop); thus consistently dominating the airwaves all around the country! Besides, the band members were able to turn their hits into good, solid live performances thanks to a wealth of stage experience they�d possessed from their previous tours of Germany. The "black"-like, soul voic...

The Stroke Band Green And Yellow 1978 us exciting art punk power rock 2014 edition

The Stroke Band Green And Yellow 1978 us exciting art punk power rock 2014 edition Green And Yellow is the collected recordings of legendary lost 1970s Deep South freaksters, THE STROKE BAND. Seen and heard, until now, by only a few South Georgia pot heads, rednecks, sheriffs, strippers, and intoxicated U.S. Marines. Fronted by Bruce Joyner � a swamp rat synthesis of Buddy Holly, Bryan Ferry and Jerry Lee Lewis � The Stroke Band were an art-punk aberration to anything else happening in South Georgia in 1978 � 79. This Anthology Recordings re-release of the Green and Yellow album is the first in any form since the private press LP came out in 1978. The Green And Yellow digital and CD releases include the original Green And Yellow album; plus the band�s only live performance at Joe�s Cellar � a notorious strip club in Albany, Georgia; and a set of demos and psychotic improvs from their Cork House headquarters in Valdosta. Singer and band leader Bruce Joyner, who signed to Sire Records wi...
