Alive and kicking, vivid, fresh, but still solid and timeless, Primal Scream are back. This is actually the tenth studio album by the Scottish band and they managed to put together an extremely groovy mixture of different tastes and flavours, styles and sounds from 60’s and 70’s rock to dance grooves, from psychedelic vividness to acid vibes.
The almost ten minutes of “2013” feels like a mantra, it’s dense, powerful, yet danceable and uplifting, absolutely addictive. The verses reminded me of Velvet Underground and Lou Reed, but they added to this a very modern, subtle groove and some secret ingredient which will set your nights on fire on the dance floor. “River Of Pain” it’s dark and psychedelic, soft and simple, but tensioned. Feels like an acoustic Depeche Mode track.
“Culturecide” it’s a hard to forget type of addictive, pounding (indie) rock anthem with powerful acid flavour. Then come the garage sounding “Hit Void” with a killer saxophone solo.
“Tenement Kid” have a warm and charming Beatles feel. And while they surfing from one thing to another, the whole production stay fit, solid, it’s Primal Scream all over and throughout. Read more Primal Scream – More Light (2013)

The Queens are – finally – back. I remembered that Josh Homme once said that “Rock should be heavy enough for the boys and sweet enough for the girls.” It’s exactly what “…Like Clockwork” it’s about. It’s Kyuss, a little bit Screaming Trees and a little bit Monster Magnet with additional Sweethead, Eagles of Death Metal, The Dead Weather and Them Crooked Vultures reflections and reminiscences, it’s Queens of the Stone Age throughout. It’s rock music without any particular label could stick too long on their music. The blues roots are there as the heavy and dark riffs are also there pumping throughout the album. Everybody can find and pick his favorite moments and songs of the album, nobody will be disappointed, every consumer will be satisfied and properly served. It’s simultaneously something good and something annoying about this, but listening the album consequently for several times, I started liking the parts and moments initially I didn’t really appreciate it and eventually ended up liking it throughout.
I was in love with 6:33’s 2011 album 
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!
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.
A band formed 45 years ago are getting to their 19th studio album and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, including 7.5 million certified units in the US. If this isn’t a true hard rock legend, don’t know what it is.
Autism is an instrumental post-rock project from Lithuania.

The new release contains 6 tracks, while the sound it’s much heavier, metal rooted and the atmosphere it’s darker, but nicely layered and filled with memorable melodies.
