"One of the most important things about writing this album was being true to my influences both musically and in just everyday life. I wanted to represent lyrically the things that truly interest me the most, more so than cliche genre standards. I love horror movies as much as the next guy but I for sure love video games much more. I mean, the opening track is based on Hellraiser, which is one of my favorite horror movies, but beyond that, it's mostly much more nerdy things. It kinda started with one of the concepts being "if I can write a song about Tomb Raider 2 and make it fit the music, then I can write literally about anything I want". That was kinda the liberating point for me. It was really the impetus to make something I always viewed as being limited that much more expressive. So after that, I really opened up and wrote songs about classic games I love like Quake, Morrowind, Silent Hill, etc, along with other subjects I was into at that time..weird Lovecraftian shit and even Star Wars novel lore. In fact, the name itself came from a Star Wars book i read years ago. I made note of the name and years later finally found a place to use it."

Norwegian Black Metallers Taakeferd released their new album "Mitt septer for et tusenårsrike" this year. A new flame has ignited the old beast which manifests itself in the new album titled "Mitt septer for et tusenårsrike". With no intention of reinventing the genre, MSFET rather stands in the tradition of the old, disgusting, dirty and aggressive black metal sound. Still undeniably Black Metal, but with a more distinct hint of punk. Lyrically, the album deals with the classic themes of death and vanity, the ethical and categorical limits of human existence, and the boundaries of truth and knowledge.

 

Line-up:

Horisont: Bass

Kvide: Guitars

Forsite: Guitars (rhythm), Vocals (backing)

PLANT MY BONES RELEASE NEW SINGLE "RED RIVER"

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish Plant My Bones is a great new musical outlier in the spectrum of rock and metal music in modern times, combining elements of early progressive rock shenanigans with tastes of modern metal riffage. For its members the band represents a newly found ambition and excitement for making sounds that pack maximal amounts of whoopass mayhem shabang. 

The band is set to release their debut EP Stage 1.0 on July 23rd via Inverse Records. The second single Red River is released today and video for it is available here: https://youtu.be/gjrvPsC7JgY 

The band comments single:

"Red river is a slow burning outburst of heaviness that stems from a heightened state of social and environmental unease. The song features heavy drums and a growling bass stomping forward with a powerful groove, alongside multilayered low synth parts and piercing guitars. The instrumental gives off an irresistibly menacing mood which is complimented by soaring, infectious vocals that tie all of the parts together into a flood of Rock’ n’ Roll power."

WAXWORM RELEASE "MEA CULPA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

WaxWorm, the industrial project of Duncan Evans (Formerly A Forest of Stars) and Arthur Brown (Based in Australia) have released their song "Klexos" via NextMosh. The track is taken from their upcoming release Mea Kulpa which will be out on July 23 2021 via Trepanation Recordings.

Duncan commented 

'Klexos’ is a word invented by John Koenig which means ‘the art of dwelling on the past’. The mood of the track — sombre, reflective, melancholy — seemed to fit with that theme. I like the hypnotic and minimalistic melody, which was originally composed as an ambient loop by Arthur, before we fleshed it out with dark and rhythmic electronic textures, and a doom-laden drum groove. I hope the music is evocative and somehow tells an emotional story without needing lyrics. We’re really pleased that NextMosh have premiered ‘Klexos’, and we hope you like it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Pre-order: https://waxwormband.bandcamp.com/

Mea Kulpa is the product of several collaborative sessions between its creators (some in-person and some conducted remotely) which began in 2008. The project was shelved and revisited several times, and was finally completed in 2021.

The album is an expression of and a reaction to the fear, loneliness and dejection that can arise in all of us as we navigate the uncertainties and contradictions of human existence. Accordingly, the record is sometimes unsettling and disturbing, but it also brings catharsis and consolation.

Duncan commented: I’m really excited that Mea Kulpa, the upcoming WaxWorm album, is going to be released this summer. The project, which is a collaboration between me and my friend Arthur Brown, grew out of just throwing sounds and ideas around and letting the music evolve naturally. We wanted to make something heavy without using guitars, and we also wanted to borrow some ideas from electronic music and industrial. We’re really proud of the way the music turned out. We call dark electro-chaos, and we hope you enjoy the record. 

Often abrasive and noisy, but also rich with melody, the music is mostly electronic and largely instrumental. Incorporating brooding ambient soundscapes, skittering beats, dissonant noise and distorted synth patterns, the record draws influence from styles including dark ambient, industrial, metal, and electronic dance music. Occasionally, recordings of household objects and real instruments are twisted and contorted to fit within the makeup of the otherworldly synth textures. Lyrics and vocals were only used where they seemed to be necessary, with layered vocals on a few tracks sung by Evans and Brown.

Mea Kulpa is an immersive electronic sound collage that juxtaposes bleakness and anguish with warmth and redemption.
