" Slough Feg - The animal spirits " review and download + video

    Let me get this outta the way real quick, I fucking love Slough Feg. They deserve a lot more credit than they get for being one of the few "true" modern heavy metal bands. This shit is straight from the 80's styled heavy metal, but with amazing production quality and innovated song writing that sometimes even surprises one.
    Now onto the album, the LP starts out strong with "Trick the Vicar", as it delves deep into heavy doom-influenced riffs and heavy strutting triplets. It quickly moves through the short two songs into the instrumental "Materia Prima", a song with as much western and classical rock'n'roll influence as it has heavy metal influence, the song boggles back and forth between tempos, from the clunky doom riffs and the strangly western to an almost speed metal like crescendo at around the 2:30 point. The majority of the next songs on the album continue the slower style that they seem to have adopted with Ape Uprising. Not that I'm complaining it was a solid album. The album gets a little cheesy the farther down it gets, it goes from some strange strung out ballads like in "hardworlder" and "the tell tale heart" and if it hadn't been for "kon tiki" seperating those two from the lame acoustic intro of "second coming" well... I just don't know what I'd do. The last song on the album, "tactical air war" is for sure the fastest, almost speed metal territory, very speed metal-y riffs but the drums just don't reach the token beat.
   Overall I think it's a good album. It's not great, not going to sugar coat it, the first song was awesome, set me up for disappointment, If only the whole album had been like that it could have been the next "hardworlder" or "traveller" but in this case the album just didnt really do it for me. That's not to discredit it though, definitely listen to this band, they're great. This album while deliver as well. As a token of my awesomeness, I've uploaded the album to mediafire [for speedy downloadin fool] with fixed tags, and I've uploaded a youtube video for your viewing pleasure.

324 - REBELGRIND

2010-10-14T19:59:00.000-07:00

     HAHAHAHA FUCK, this band is too awesome, fuck. Japanese metal is INCREDIBLY hit and miss, and japanese punk even more so [polysics and shit bands etc]. Where shit bands fail [like stupid tokio hotel from tockeyo, sheesh cant even spell their home town right, dumb japanese] again and again, 324 shreds to pieces. There's something about poorly translated grindcore that gets me going. The album starts off chunky and slow with the beginning of "darkgazer" but has some pretty solid thrashing anti-breakdowns, breakups if you will. The next songs through the title track consecutively grind the shit out of your ears with well placed breakdowns and fucking hectic as hell blast beats and vocals. Think Napalm death, but with better vocals and not english [not like you fucking care you grindslut], don't think punk.... Although the occasional well placed dbeat does appear. Mugen No Saka is a sweet as fuck song starting out with typical dbeat / speed metal crescendoing riffs and then after a few seconds of solid blast beats, one of the best songs on the album. The band takes a nice turn for a post-hardcore like song with most parts of "bidou no asa", amazing song, great composition. There's not much more I can say for this album, it's a grind album, there's not many grey areas, you'll like it or you won't. Definitely a great album by a great band.
     There's youtube videos of a FEW songs of theirs, two from this album. The guy seems cool, might as well link the song here for your listening, saves me from doing it I guess ~HehEheh~*.

Stuck chilean miners

Have you heard of this band "Stuck Chilean Miners" ? Probably, everyone loves em now. I liked them when they were underground.

Help with the blog. And Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

2010-10-13T17:40:00.000-07:00

I need a bail out, fast. If you can, send my blog to anyone and everyone please! [or at least just SOMEONE else] and if you're really generous anyone... refresh script :3 I can return the favor :)

And now cause I'm not a fuck and don't want to spam shit posts like that, Arcade fire. Taking a day off to right about great indie bands that I have liked and their newish albums, and I'm starting with Arcade Fire. To be totally honest, not my favorite album of theirs haha. Nothing will beat Funeral, in fact I kind have liked Neon Bible too haha. In fact, this may be their worst album. But that's nothing to turn a blind eye to, in fact that's quite a compliment. The worst arcade fire album is like winning the tiny less-important lottery, in that it's incredibly awesome as fuck, but you regress about what could have be. Two words, too predicable. Sheesh never would have seen an indie band in 2010 making an album like this. In fact the only reason this album is probably only loved and revered because of it's pitchfork worship. Now I'm sounding like this is a negative review, it is in NO WAY, STOP THINKING THAT, fuck you. The album is good. Not great. Not what I expected at all, but still an aural treat. 7/10 or so. Who cares about numbers lol.

The Angelic Process - Weighing souls with sand

2010-10-07T19:50:00.000-07:00

     This is by no means a new album or anything haha, but it's easily one of my favorites... And it's stood the test of time. There seems to be a lack of mention of this band and album anywhere, except for the surplus of youtube videos of their songs (fucking eh, saves me time heh), they really need more reviews of their amazing music. I don't even know how to describe this album, it's like post-industrial drone sludge. It's so incredibly amazing, it's like being in one of those old fashioned "Egyptian" booby trapped rooms where the walls close in, but the walls are made of staticy sound and the spikes that impale your vital organs are pounding drums. I hear people compare this to Nadja a lot but i just don't see it, I've listened to a lot of Nadja, and the only one it even slightly touches upon is "touched", but even then this album is miles away, with a completely unique and demolishing sound of its own.

     The album starts off with soft rolling ambiance, followed by some nice repetitive drumming... for about 2 minutes... Then SLAM. Downtuned dirty as fuck guitars with a tone I can't even begin to describe, the wall of sound this band creates is absolutely unexplainable using English, or even human words. I think it might be cause of his use of bows on guitars and other avant garde practices, or because he's an absolute musical genius, but either way you're crushed. No bones remaining. The vocals have this distortion where you can comprehend his words to a degree, it sounds like he's saying things, but it's hard to tell in what language. I'm guessing it's English, prove me wrong. The songs follow this pattern that somehow NEVER gets old, of starting off with ambient droning guitar, then either chugging palm mutes with tom pounding or distorted post-rock-esque riffs with Neurosis style pounding... Then it alternates. It's somehow always surprises me.

     Songs of noteworthiness on this album would be "Million year summer" and "We all die laughing". There's one part in "We all die laughing" that tingles my spine and is near tear jerking for an unknown reason. Luckily it's on youtube so that saves me time. If you like strangely unsettling music, this is for you, if you like solid beautiful music, this is for you, if you like crushing down tempo music, this is for you. If you like them all, you are me or my friend, and if you're the latter I want my money you owe me you fuck. Download this album, listen to it MAX volume, and then follow my blog, you know you want to. Absolute 10 out of 10.

Crom - Hot Sumerian Nights

2010-10-03T21:19:00.000-07:00

Ah Crom's second full length. After hearing the first LP (The cocaine wars 1974-1989) spinning at a friends house, I fell in love with the corny Conanian powerviolence. Not much has changed in the presentation between the two, except the entire fucking genre. If you ever listened to the first one, it was all mathy stop and charge tempo changing cock dickery, never taking itself too seriously (at least that hasn't changed). For this one they decided to take the small portion of the debut that was sludge-ridden break downs, and make an entire album out of it. This album is primarily crushing chunky down tempo doom encrusted aural pleasure that I would expect from a band from the south, but with the great sound clips and cheesy music clips that I would expect from a band that takes its name from the Conan universe (This is the only one I know of). The album starts off with a pleasant sound clip that I can only explain as coughing up lungs from way too many drugs, then it dives right into a heavy riff that is immediately interrupted by a plethora of silly sounds and clips. The first real song on the album has almost the same tone as before, but the sound is undoubtedly different, the bands vocals are a little more organized and the music is a tad more structured (whether or not that that's a good thing is completely subjective, I enjoy it nevertheless) and instead of breaking down from fast hardcore crust like epilogues into sludge sections, the songs are sludge songs that gain tempo into almost speed metal / D-Beat ballads mid song, the Arnold clips are absolutely perfectly accompanying. Songs that I found stood above the rest are Zamora , King Osric (that sounds like a less organized His Hero is Gone at first listen) and Second Koming (which reminds me of a nwobhm song).

Overall I highly enjoyed this album, it had the same vigour and style mashing intensity as the first and sure did not disappoint, I highly recommend downloading this as soon as possible and giving it a listen, it's one of those albums that is constantly getting played. The download to the album is linked below, be sure to followmy blog guyz ~cheers~*
