Have Nots – Proud
Review — October 10, 2011
Ska-Punk is a loaded genre. That is to say there are only a handful of bands who could balance on the tight rope most tend to fall on either side more often than not. So needless to say for every Clash record there are 3 subpar version of Less Than …
Antonymes – The Licence To Interperet Dreams
Review — October 17, 2011
Antonymes is one Ian M. Hazeldine. The North Welsh based artist has in the last two years released more than a couple works of almost ambient music. I say almost since it has some characteristics of the ambient genre it also bases much of its work in the classical realm …
Triac – ...Always Meant To Hurt You
Review — October 17, 2011
Triac has had a rather long history much of which seems unnoticed by those who aren't on top of their game. Over the course of a handful of releases and a massive appearance on Volume 2 of the "This Comp Kills Fascists" series the band have made themselves known to …
[The] Caseworker – Letters From The Coast
Review — October 17, 2011
Dream pop as a genre seems to have made a slight comeback in recent years. While this may be due to many factors more bands are embracing the harmonies of The Cocteau Twins and Chapterhouse. This seems to be a good thing as many of these bands bring other …
Powerwolves – You Won't Find Peace
Review — October 24, 2011
Powerwolves had been running around the northeast for a little while now. While this is not important in itself, the band does take their sound from a lineage of past Boston area bands. The most recognizable would have to be The Hope Conspiracy, while this is readily noticeable it …
Hatewaves – The Tombs
Review — October 24, 2011
Before i get done writing this review i may have listened to this record 5 times, possibly more. That is listening to this record once for each inch of vinyl it is pressed onto. Those familiar with Hatewaves from their 7 inch release last year should know the bands' pedigree …
Nekrasov – The Ever-Present
Review — October 31, 2011
Nekrasov as an artist has made a name for himself over the past few years. Working in a rather limited, hard to define genre (Black Noise) and managing to inadvertently become one of the flagship artists in the current crop of artists in this genre. Black Noise itself is best …
Reclusa – The Anticonscience
Review — November 7, 2011
Reclusa has joined the ranks of the crucial blaze releases and take little time to make their intentions known. While the group released a few short run cassettes this is their first big project. Their style matches seamlessly to the labels' general modus operandi revelling in a strained and disturbed …
Retox – Ugly Animals
Review — November 14, 2011
Many wondered what was next for Justin Pearson. The man known for many project (Swing Kids, The Locust, 31G Records, etc) had been out of the musical limelight for awhile. Late last year Retox announced their formation and released a demo. The demo was a nice surprise …
Negative Plane – Stained Glass Revelations
Review — November 21, 2011
Negative Plane are certainly not a new band. Having released their prior full length 5 years ago the band seemed to have disappeared for quite some time. Many times when this happens bands tend to forget their original purpose or just forget music altogether. Thankfully for us, the music consuming …
Sabertooth Zombie – Human Performance III
Review — November 28, 2011
The guys of Sabertooth Zombie have been doing their own thing for awhile now. That "thing" as it were is a mash up of hardcore, stoner metal, and outright rock n roll with not a fuck to be given. While they don't really tend to add onto what they already …
Sutekh Hexen – Luciform
Review — December 2, 2011
After a number of demos and EPs the members of Sutekh Hexen have unleashed their debut LP upon the world. Unleashed seems to be the only fair way to describe the release of this record as any other terminology feels as though it is undermining the nastiness of this recording. …_%5B%5BM.G_.%5D%5D_/522b6d79b1100e6bf1b9558ff0906e67.jpg)
Gnaw Their Tongues – Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus
Review — December 5, 2011
Nightmares are a hard thing to quantify. As they happen without any control or uniformity. The terror invoked can be quite real and seem silly later when described out loud. This is a problem many musicians have in trying to deal with dark, evil or, dare I say, nightmarish sounding …
Bayonet – Self Titled
Review — December 12, 2011
Bayonet is a Jersey super group or sorts. taking members from such bands as Senses Fail, The Banner among others. In any situation like this it is hard to tell if the project is really a band in itself or merely something spat out for fun. One can hardly …
Beware Of Safety – Leaves/Scars
Review — December 12, 2011
Beware Of Safety are a Post-Rock band. Sounds simple and plain enough. As they do reside in a genre known for aping their forefathers in a near religious way does little for any band that chooses this route. Many of these bands rely on what the first 3 Mogwai albums …
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – Self Titled
Review — December 19, 2011
In the past two years there has been some speculation about the Gallagher brothers. Even during their career as Oasis the speculation was there. Many questioned with all of their issues who was the real talent driving the band. Well this is the year that the question gets answered. With …
Bringers Of Disease – Gospel Of Pestilence
Review — December 26, 2011
The ex members game is a precarious one to play. For every band that bares similarity to it's members past exploit there are just as many that don't bare that mark. So to tell you that Bringers Of Disease share members with Acheron and Mouth Of The Architect should only …
Bohren & Der Club Of Gore – Beileid
Review — January 2, 2012
Bohren & Der Club Of Gore is a band that has always sat outside of any distinct genre. Clearly influenced by both jazz and doom metal the band have always played in away that evokes both without fully giving into either side of their coin. Although they have reached closer …
Actors & Actresses – We Love Our Enemy EP
Review — January 9, 2012
Reissues tend to be a funny thing. Sometimes they are done in good taste. To help fans get a hold of an album that went out of print or give them a chance to hear the progression that the band went through. This reissue is done simply for an early …
