Architects - Hollow Crown


So what if Suicide Season wasn't one of the worst albums ever written? What if it in fact was a refreshing release to remind you of how good metalcore used to be during the '90s? Well, that's pretty much what Architects' third full-length album Hollow Crown pretty much is, the same type of music, for the most part, but well executed. Go figure, Bring Me The Horizon was pretty much just ripping-off Architects and Bury Your Dead anyhow.

Funeral Crashers

Funeral Crashers plays a discordant but not noisy sound of Post Punk that Spreads its black wings into Goth Rock and drenches its long slimy nails into everything that is the exact opposite of whatever you fathom in your mind as being happy and 'lively'. Don't put words in my mouth and say this is boring, if you don't dig post punk then you won't like this certainly, the same beats throughout the songs in terms of drums, heavy distorted bass sounds and dissonant moody guitars that noodle at times and vocals imitating of Ian Curtis; this band gets repetitive during individual songs but the tracks aren't so that they take forever till they end. I can't do this album any justice so read a proper review HERE, it rules and if you hate life and wanna die or wanna resurrect the dead then dive into this.

Intestine Baalism - Ultimate Insect

Intestine Baalism is pretty much the pinnacle of the Japanese death metal scene. Formed back in '91, IB still keeps it oldschool as fuck without going stagnant like say... Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, etc. (99% of their contemporaries). I guess it's because they've waited like 6 years between each release. Anyhow, Ultimate Insect is their third full length, from 2008, and it's what the dm scene's been craving forever, what oldschool revival bands like Bloodbath can't achieve.

Deathchurch

Deathchurch is Japanese Black Metal and is raw, hard, deadly, violent, evil. I dunno bout you but i did enjoy this. A taste of Japanese pleasure created with deranged reasoning. God Free.

THIS IS FOR YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. Get Melancholic with these sounds, here is the description from its own website:

"Compiles all the tracks from the entire 7" series onto one handy 80-minute CD. That means tracks from Versus, Scrawl, Lungfish, The Tinklers, Codeine, The Coctails, Eggs, Jonny Cohen, Veronica Lake, My Dad is Dead, Rastro, Lois, Nothing Painted Blue, Small Factory, Tsunami, Jawbox, Crackerbash, The Grifters, Crain, Pitchblende, Swirlies, Caterpillar and Superchunk!

Thieves Like Us

This was released just last month but it hasn't been getting all the attention it deserves, no doubt such a good album cover and you can only expect great music, tunes to dance too. Not a doubt in my mind that a lot of you don't even dig this style of music (electro/dance) but this isn't just that type of album either, very similar to the Chromatics (of GSL fame, not the disco 'Italians Do It Better' one) in terms of it being an indie band. It's three dudes mixing in styles they want to be mixed, apparently they've been digging hip hop and dub lately but I don't really hear it too much in this album. The second song on here 'Drugs In My Body' is just a good song to listen too, really dancy, really up beat and you won't hate it, possibly get annoyed by it. I don't know what else to say, watch out for this band in 2009 i do think they're going to get hyped to oblivion. Fuck it right? Still available for sure, probably $20 or more but I think these records usually run for that much anyways.

SymbolOne

Disco electro dance dance dance. Stuff has been making a come back since like 2004, Daft Punk has its 35 year old fans as well as its teenage and preteen audience in its grasp and will never EVER let go. Taking that into 4th generation electronica twice removed we get things like SymbolOne, dance driven beats bent on making a dent in the scene already ripping with more acts than you'd want with more songs being remixed than you should even really start to care about. SymbolOne takes this and realizes this, this ain't nothing silly, its good okay. If you dig this style of music then you're going to dig this, been compared to Valerie and will be doing work with Justice. This is still available through, well, i believe anywhere really. It has the original Love Juice cut as well as two remixes done by Danger TV and Moulinex. The other links are another Love Juice remixed by Loose Shus and Everything Louder Then Everything Else, a single released in 2007. Look for the full length coming out soon.

Taken - Between Two Unseens


So where did all of these bands like 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Misery Signals, This Runs Through, Underoath, etc. etc. get their ideas from? You know, that ultra-emotive airy metalcore that actually seems to serve a purpose beyond IT'S TIME TO FUCKING MOSH? Anyhow, I'm done skirting the details, they all ripped off Taken, or at least sound like it. Now listen to this shit, its mad tight.

Tracklisting:
1. Arrested Impulse
2. The Duke
3. Treaded Paths
4. Eternity Was On Our Lips
5. Swirling Memories
