JESUS PIECE – …SO UNKNOWN [HARDCORE]
Blending hardcore and metal, Jesus Piece has returned with melodic yet hard-hitting guitar riffs and lyrics for a brutal second album. Frontman Aaron Heard’s screams will call you into the pit and ring in your ears for days. Label: Southern Lord Start w/ 3, 5, 7 FCC: Clean, except for 1, 2, 4 RIYL: Knocked […]
Ghost- Impera
Ghost– ImperaRelease date: 2022March11Label: Concord/Loma VistaRating: 4/5 Ghost return with their long-awaited (at least by me) follow up to Prequelle. The track Imperium opens things on a soft note. Kaisarion moves with a punk-like feel in spots. Lyrics of Call Me Little Sunshine beckon one to embrace the morning star. Hunter’s Moon conveys the thoughts […]
Child Bite- Blow Off The Omens
Child Bite– Blow Off The Omens Release date: 2019Nov22 Label: Housecore Rating: 4/5 Long awaited fifth release from Child Bite and the first that I’ve listened to (I’m pathetic). Mock Ecstasy roars out the gate with fast, dirty guitar. Vexed Life catches my attention with a touch of dry desert licks. They All Look Away […]
The Kut – Valley of Thorns [Cargo Records]
British all female group that straddles the line between hard rock and alternative metal. Riff-centric sound reminiscent of the hard rock heyday of the 1980’s, but without the cheese that is so common in that style of music. Hard hitting with lots of great tracks throughout. Play: 2,4,5,6,8,10 FCC: 7,9 RIYL: White Lung, Hole, Le […]
Dramatica – Fall of Tyranny [Record Label Music]
How I imagine Iron Maiden might sound if Paul Di’Anno never left the band and they delved into a more proggish sound. Very apparent influence from classic NWOBHM acts as well as some of the more straightforward heavy metal acts of the 1980’s. Strong effort throughout. Play: 1,2,3,4,5 FCC: None RIYL: Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, […]
Stepping Sideways – Harbinger [Self-Released]
Progressive metal with an atmospheric sound. Clean vocals mixed with occasional death metal growls on some tracks. Features multiple time changes and breakdowns throughout. Play: 2,3,5 FCC: None RIYL: Opeth, Vanden Plas, Dream Theater
Ghost- Prequelle
Ghost– Prequelle Release date: 2018Jun01 Label: Loma Vista Rating: 5/5 Papa Emeritus III has fallen, bringing the rise of the mysterious Cardinal Copia. Ashes scatter ominously, growling drumbeats. Rats scurry into the night, his wrath set against a melodic dirge. What’s a plague without dance? He scorns with conviction as Faith is his alone. He implores […]
