Attila – Outlawed (2011)

Attila – Outlawed (2011) The self-proclaimed “party death metal”band, ATTILA is back after the outstanding previous effort, “Rage” released on Artery Recordings one year ago. Available as pre order, leaked out, “Outlawed” will be released on 16th August and these five kids from Atlanta delivered another set of 10 striking and merciless tracks.
Party Metal? I don’t know, but listening to the killer songs from “Outlawed” it’s impossible not to feel the explosive vibe, can’t stay away, must jump up and scream, bang your head till wreck your neck and it’s mandatory to wave your air guitar instantly.
I loved “Rage”, but “Outlawed” is one thousand times louder and stronger. This isn’t music, this is murder. Read more Attila – Outlawed (2011) ›

This is fun. And eventually an excellent way to market the band and a product. ReinXeed a Symphonic/Power Metal band from Boden, Sweden, formed in 2004 by vocalist Tommy Johansson.

Vader – Welcome to the Morbid Reich (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Disappointed by “Illud Divinum Insanus”, the last Morbid Angel? It sounds too modern, too industrial? Well, “Welcome to the Morbid Reich” is classy as death metal originally was and Vader, veterans from “behind the Iron Curtain”, delivering quality, uncompromising, brutal death metal since the 80s.
“Morbid Reich”, their third demo released in 1990, selling nearly 10,000 copies and it’s still considered to be the best selling demo tape in the history of death metal. Entitled “Welcome to the Morbid Reich” definitively is a firm signal to the world and fans: Vader stays the same, expect just another intense, quality death metal album from Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek and his band mates.
You will be holding in your hands “Welcome To The Morbid Reich” on August 12th if you didn’t already get the mp3s leaked out on the internet… Should support your favorite bands and buy the real stuff, girls and boys, illegal downloads don’t pay artists bills… Read more Vader – Welcome to the Morbid Reich (2011) ›

GWEX – Debaucherous Adventure (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Reminds me of Frank Zappa and Mr. Bungle, but also of Green Jelly and eatmewhileimhot!, The Global Warming Extravaganza comes between parody and insanity, chaos and music, and as always, it’s quite impossible to draw the line between genius and madness. Mark A. Shredmurder and Christopher T. (“The T is for Teriffic”) Bottomsworth supposed to form a band back in 2007, but the other guys didn’t showed up, so… they had to struggle through all the Budweiser and Jack Daniels bought for the party and the result is this monster-brain-child abbreviated GWEX.
And as any good thing in life, “Debaucherous Adventure” can be downloaded for free (“name your price” = donate much as you want/can) from their Bandcamp page.
Be prepared for anything – good and bad – you can think on/of because there will be more. Welcome to the “mEatrix”. This is fuckin’ unbelievable. But brilliant. 😀 Read more GWEX – Debaucherous Adventure (2011) ›

Prince Edward Island – This Day Is A Good Enough Day (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I actually missed something like this. Joyful, but acid and fun by dry humour, sounds mainly like drinking sing-a-longs, but catchy enough, simple, straight, not bloody indie rock, not again metalcore, harsh as the Scottish whiskey and smooth like a summer night, sunny as a child play, Prince Edward Island long awaited debut album “This day is a good enough day” coming through Crocfingers Record on Monday the 29th August. But till then, you can fully enjoy the whole material on their Soundcloud page. And enjoy it’s exactly how it feels. Reminds me a little bit of Eels and some good old days. When I gave up fooling myself and waiting for some better days – on a day like this with all the stock markets falling like dominoes one after another, this day and this album is more than good enough.

Screaming Trees – Last Words, The Final Recordings (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This album should be released eleven years ago, but in 2000 not one record label was interested in Screaming Trees. Nowadays the world – and economy – falling apart, everything worth a try, the record labels would release even their neighbor grandma’s singing in the bath if there’s the smallest chance to cash-in a few cents. Don’t ask me what happened with the idea that music should be fun and joy… But back in 2000 Screaming Trees was fired by the industry, now they thought it’s time to deliver to their fans their last songs and it’s quite alright.
Back then, Mark Lanegan joined Queens of the Stone Age, Barrett Martin has been a touring member for several bands and worked with Stone Temple Pilots and R.E.M. along others and Gary Lee Conner started the bands The Purple Outside and Amanita Caterpillar in which he is the vocalist.
“Last Word” the eight album by Screaming Trees, released on August 2, 2011. Read more Screaming Trees – Last Words, The Final Recordings (2011) ›

Eyes Set To Kill – White Lotus (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Not a goddamn day without (at least) one (thousand) new metalcore release. Today’s review winner is Eyes Set to Kill from Tempe, Arizona.
Formed in 2003 by the Rodriguez sisters – Alexia (clean vocals, lead guitar, piano) and Anissa (bass, backing vocals), Eyes Set To Kill became one of MySpace.com’s top unsigned screamo bands in 2006. The group signed with BreakSilence/Suburban Noize Records the following year and release three critically acclaimed studio efforts – 2008’s “Reach”, 2009’s “The World Outside” and 2010’s “Broken Frames”. Frustrated with the label politics, and pressure to withhold their identity, Eyes Set To Kill decided to break away and release independently “White Lotus”, their fifth studio album through a joint venture between their own imprint Forsee Records and Maphia Entertainment.

NeWBReeD – NeWBReeD (2011)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

NeWBReeD was founded in 1999 and they’re coming from Bielsko-Biala, Poland. “NeWBReeD” is their fifth studio release and they play a mixture of complex, technical, modern metal with progressive and avant-garde elements.
This is a quite intense and unique blending of styles and elements, NeWBReeD delivered a kind of psychotic, contorted, but colourful metal, technical, but still soulful, complex, but well structured and not airless, suffocating.
10 songs, “NeWBReeD” is a quite exciting trip to take. Slow, sometimes smooth, sometimes mysterious passages and intense, twisted moments are perfectly build into a modern, breathing and heavy – metal experiment.
