I wish I was as excited as when Ultra came out. This new Depeche Mode album seems to be the logical continuation after Ultra but there seems to be something missing.
I've lived with this album for a while now, I'm not exactly sure how long, but it had time to grow on me and reveal it's subtleties (yes, ultra-heavy, anger ridden, hyper-kinetic post thrash with industrial touches and, as an added bonus, SUBTLETIES!).
When this CD was released in 1994, the trip-hop history was about to deviate toward a more mainstream status. This is the album that did what Massive Attack couldn't do alone: bring the hypnotic beats to a larger audience and this without compromising the formula (as the Sneaker Pimps later did).
This live album might not be what some of you expected after ToT's latest release "Musique" which received quite varied reactions.
The title says it all. It's smooth, warm and dangerous, it's California. I have never been there but I've seen Baywatch so I know what I am talking about, haha.
If you thought that Ulver would release a drum 'n bass or techno album after their Metamorphosis EP then you are wrong. The wolves just can't do the same kind of music twice and so they experiment with electronics, samples, beats and rock on this album Perdition City.
Jamie Saft, a New York based organplayer who made several appearances on John Zorn's projects like Music For Children and Filmworks IX, debuts on Zorn's label Tzadik with an original application of Jewish traditions.
Cultband Thorns has been a big inspiration to many of the first generation of Norwegian black metal bands. Riffs from the demo and rehearsaltape that were circulating in the scene were used by Emperor and Mayhem. Mainmen Snorre Ruch and Bård 'Faust' Eithun had to do some time in jail so there hasn't been a chance to pick the fruits of that fame.
The wait is over, you die-hard Weezer fans have something to digest again. A new Weezer album is finally out. The titleless third album is embraced by the fans as "The Green Album" already.
Peter Tägrtren, who doesn´t know him? The producerwho gives every metal cd a nice touch of quality production. The man behind death metal band Hypocrisy, but also the man who could be on the poster in your sister´s bedroom.
The always impressive Arcturus strikes again with this release. An unique metal musical, bizarreand twisted, that´s a nice description for this music.
Masked guitarist Buckethead seems to have two schemes in his releases: high profile, well budgetted releases like Monsters & Robots and Giant Robot and low profile, quick and dirty recordings like Cobra Strike and this project.
As a taster for the Buck Fever album (scheduled for September 2001), Estradasphere released this 73 minute EP with four songs from the album and a bunch of liverecordings.
Garmarna chose to pay tribute to the works of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a mystic woman who lived in a monastery and was physician, scientist, preacher, composer and poet.
How can anyone not give an Emperor CD the full score ? After all, the band is legendary. Especially since the release of "Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk" the black metal hordes have held Emperor in extremely high regards,
This legendary cult black metal band who were one of the founders of the whole black metal soundand generation of bands starts a second youth with this "Grand Declaration of War".
For a band originally tagged as being Black Metal this eight-track CD sure has a REALLY long playing time
The Gathering always sees to amaze me with every new album they bring out. Everytime they release something fresh and original.
Fleurety, once a black metal band from Norway, but now active in the more stranger regions of music.
Who said that black metal would never been taken serious by the 'outside' crowd has his facts wrong since this new Diabolical Masquerade album is an official motion picture soundtrack.
Once again, a Borknagar CD sees many changes from the previous album. One of those changes should come as no surprise to those who have been following the band over the past couple of years.
Russian geniuses Rakoth have returned with a new CD. Well... not new exactly. This a remake of old Demos by the band and two brand spanking new songs.
Soilwork's previous album "The Chainheart Machine" was were hailed by me as a good album.
This might be a really cool question for the TV-show "Who wants to be a Milionaire". In the beginning of the show when
