AFFIANCE – THE CAMPAIGN (2012)

Posted on November 16, 2012 in All Exclusive,Modern,Prog Metal by Alex F

now

It’s not too often that you’ll see “recommended if you like Iron Maiden, Bullet For My Valentine, and As I Lay Dying” when talking about one specific band, but that’s exactly what happened when I received the press sheet for Affiance’s sophomore album, The Campaign. With nearly two years between the band’s previous release entitled No Secrets Revealed and the forthcoming The Campaign, expectations seem to be fairly high amongst fans of the band. Two years is quite a while between albums, but I’m glad that Affiance took their time with this album because it shows that they wanted to improve and not release a half-assed album just to silence their pleading fans. The Campaign has a release date of November 13th through Bullet Tooth Records.

Staind – Live From Mohegan Sun (2012)

Posted on November 10, 2012 in Alt Rock,Modern,Prog Metal by Alex F

It’s hard to believe that throughout their 17-year career together, Staind have never released an official live disc, but all that changes this summer when ‘Live From Mohegan Sun’ makes its debut in several formats. The CD version will be available on July 10 followed by the DVD/Blu-ray out on Aug. 14.

The high definition footage was recorded at a special Staind’s headlining show on Nov. 25, 2011, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, with a sea of hometown New England fans in the audience.

MY JERUSALEM -Preachers 2012

Posted on November 10, 2012 in All Exclusive,Doom|MDM|Black,Modern by Alex F

now!

Preachers, the sophomore release from Austin’s My Jerusalem has the rather dark and sinister theme going on in the background. Founder and singer Jeff Klein (ex-Gutter Twins, The Twilight Singers) describes it as the Post-Modern Southern Gothic Soul album surrounded by beautiful, comforting, darkness. It’s real, not selfish, according to the mad hatter and Klein’s baritone vocals are ever so moody and emotionally black.

An Art Rock band with an epic, fictional concept that serves as the backdrop to their musical landscape.

SIOS looks to break barriers and leave their mark in and beyond the music world. The band is made up of four self-taught individuals who go above and beyond to create an eclectic world; not only through their music, but also through the fictional concept they have created to serve as the backdrop to their sound. During an uncertain period in his life, lead guitarist Christian “Enigma” Cruz decided to reach out to former guitar student and band mate Phillip “Dice” Defreitas, to begin a new band with the goal of reaching millions of people and sharing their unique ideas with the world. Through this common idea, rhythm guitarist and former band mate April “Ape”

Terra Incognita – Barren Land 2012

Posted on October 17, 2012 in All Exclusive,Hard Rock,Modern,Prog Metal by Alex F

NOW!

? would like to begin by mentioning what impressed me the most since minute one. The voice! It’s solid and “thick”, it’s powerful and passionate. Falsettos are a parameter for sure as well as a fabulous vibrato, almost operatic! On the other hand, it possesses so much roughness, it can Rock as hell! The Greek band is here to suggest some of their own things around Metal, served with lyrical extensions; I’d say it’s a pure Metal band, featuring Progressive elements. Motif is epical and majestic, choruses are totally melodic; you are about to listen to some Doom tunes, that’s also inside the package. For instance, “Cage of sins” is one of those songs…
