Zardonic is one of the real bad-asses of the actual dubstep scene. If you’re looking for heavy basses and contorted, noisy synths, killer beats and total intensity, Zardonic is definitively one artist to consider. Ready to st Europe on fire, Zardonic release a new EP and gives away 3 tracks.
Those who have followed any previous releases should be aware by now that Zardonic settles for nothing short of greatness. On the verge of celebrating 10 years of creating bass explosions in 2014 with his unique blend of Metal, Industrial, Bass Music, and EDM, he’s prepared, yet again, to return to the old continent in an 18 stop crusade he calls Europa Beyond Bass: Tour 2013*”. And if his previously released “Far Beyond Bass” 2013 remix album wasn’t enough to tear down European expectations, he’s built an entire arsenal of dancefloor weaponry around the once free track, ‘Restless Slumber’.

The pre-album rumors were talking about “a darker and more atmospheric record”, some mentioning the name of Pink Floyd and even label the new songs “progressive rock”. Well, the glory days of the grunge are long gone now and Pearl Jam probably reaching out for a larger audience. Last time, “Backspacer” in 2009 was pretty much a disappointment for me, so, honestly I did not had any expectation from them this time. I admit, the idea of a “darker and more atmospheric record” not really thrilled me. “Ten” is still one of my favorite all-time rock albums and it’s definitively one of the most alive and kicking albums ever produced. Pearl Jam ever since failed to live up to that debut album, although delivered several great songs and a few good albums, on the other hand it’s also true, after their ’94 “Vitalogy” never really convinced me anymore with any of their albums.
Which one was your last favorite Korn album? Don’t tell me “Korn” or “Life Is Peachy” – although you might be right!! Mine was the 2005’s “See You on the Other Side” and it’s dark, sometimes industrial-tinged experimental metal flavor it’s still heavy and refreshing, edge-cutting after all these years. Last time they tried to ride the dubstep trend by bringing in some fancy producers as Skrillex, Noisia, Excision, etc and somehow “The Path of Totality” was too mainstream oriented and designed to be genuine. So, pretty curious what this time Korn it’s up to while they bring back original guitarist Brian “Head” Welch, for the first time since their 2003’s “Take a Look in the Mirror”. Still, “The Path of Totality” has sold 270,000 copies in the US, which anyway is a pretty decent number these days. Now Korn announced that they will return to their metallic-neurotic, darker roots.
