I was in love with 6:33’s 2011 album “Orphan of Good Manners” because it was something out of conventional, fresh and creative. This French band is on the scene since the end of 2008 and now they teamed up with singer Arno Strobl (Burgul Torkhaïn, Carnival in Coal, Maladaptive, Funny Crime) to bring their searches and experiments to the next level.
True, the only downside of this project is the haunting phantom of Mike Patton who is all over the material, but if you’re into Tomahawk, Fantômas and Peeping Tom, this will definitively get to your soul as well, just as it get to mine. But we have to admit, Patton became kind of synonym with avant-garde metal which means on one hand that he’s genius, on the other hand, the scene is kind of small and narrow, not too many people are actually pushing that goddamn old envelope anymore, there are not too many paths to go down.
But then again, 6:33 and Arno Strobl delivered a fine and flawless album, a very colorful and refreshing trip to the experimental fields and outer limits of post-modern rock/metal. This might not be trendy enough, might not bring down the Billboard and probably will not sell million copies, but still, this is something worth to buy and listen!

This is head banging, teeth grinding, bone breaking, soul crushing heavy rock. Listening “Arcane” almost can smell the dust from the road filling up the holes of my nose. Merging Black Sabbath and Kyuss flavored heaviness with Motorhead taste like rides, bringing in the same crossroad Alice In Chains and Monster Magnet with Led Zeppelin and Down, this is the most explicit and appropriate expression of road tripping on the back of the bike and afterward partying till the dawn in a strip club with a whiskey in one hand and a beer in the other.
Merging power-pop and indie disco, techno-trance and chillstep, dance and rock grooves with high energy beats, banging electronics and contorted layers of noise and wobbling basses, the Milan, Italy based project, Cyberpunkers are back with three, hot, dance floor busting tracks: “Whatta Mask”, “Mad Armada” and “Ogre´s Ballad”. We’ve got 15 minutes of extreme dance session and you will loose some weight or you will sweat and bleed to death!
Merging EBM/industrial aggression, dubstep drops and wobbling, and hardcore fury, Zardonic strikes again.
I’m not one of the unconditional fans of the modern guitar virtuosos. My guitar heroes were (and still are) Hendrix, Zappa, Page, Iommi, etc. More recently Buckethead and several more jazz oriented guitar players as Aram Bajakian or Marc Ribot. But I admit, I was quite into “Flying in a Blue Dream”, it was an album I loved and I still do. Although I had listen almost each and every album he played on, including the G3 project and the hard rocking Chickenfoot, I always find at least a couple of great songs, nice passages, interesting parts on his works.
Steve Coleman began playing music just days before his 14th birthday and nowadays, 43 years later, Steve Coleman’s music it’s still fresh and he’s still hungry to explore magical-mystery places, unrevealed paths and dimensions, he’s still searching for the unheard and unconventional.
