NOW!

On Phosphor Anthems our perspective on life is still pitch-black – we just took away the folk and added more guitar.” He continues: “Phosphor Anthems is a gloomy and noisy rock ´n´ roll album, that will appeal to all lovers of rock ´n´roll”.

Angband – Saved from the Truth 2012

Posted on October 14, 2012 in All Exclusive,Heavy Metal |Power Metal,Progressive Rock by Alex F

NOW!

Angband are a PowerProg Metal band, formed in 2004 in Tehran by Mahyar Dean a classically trained musician and author who is well known in the metal world for writing two books about Death and Testament.

Saved from the Truth is Angband’s third album in a relatively short space of time and you would think they should clearly be in their groove.  Seasons of my Pain starts with a beautiful acoustic intro that shows Dean’s classical roots and promises so much before we’re introduced to a horribly muddy slice of riffs and double bass drumming that lead to some fairly lifeless plodding vocals.  The whole song just feels flat after such a wonderful intro and I’m already fearing what lies ahead for the remainder of the album.  The recording quality of the track, intro aside, is pretty poor with the vocals and drums sounding very empty and flat while the guitar tone is lacking definition.

Kira is backed by three spirited and authentic female musicians, who, with their unbridled enthusiasm, will show off their youthful frenzy when they perform. Samantha’s drums add the power to the music, while Annelise keeps her bass locked in to them, but loose enough to add a punk feel. Keiko fills in the background with warm keyboard layers.

The Brimstone Days – On A Monday Too Early To Tell 2012

Posted on October 11, 2012 in All Exclusive,Progressive Rock,Rock by Alex F

NOW! From Sweden

They may look like wizard-van hippies, a trio of high school dropouts livin’ the free and easy, but The Brimstone Days are really white suit preachers selling a groovy Sunday sermon. They’re dancing up and down the crowded aisles under an outdoor tent — red-faced, gripped by fever, dripping with sin, clutching their chest — convincing you to forfeit love, money, and testimony for a chance to kiss their hand. This makes the Swedish band’s second full-length, On a Monday Too Early to Tell, a smoky, lascivious, moto-soul show, and if you’re the kind of cat that takes his righteous garage-funk cool and on the rocks with a Scandinavian twist, like The Sewergrooves,
