May Misery Befall You!

Perpetual Paradox‘s magnanimous yell and title of their newest EP is quite the opener. Well, fuck you, too. And you’re welcome.

But let’s them differences not grow into an issue, shall we? Instead, let the music talk to us first. And that’s where Metalcore’s bread is buttered. Or is it the technical part that we’re picking up? I reckon it is both. But it is also the blind rage screaming at you, backed by some boundless energy that hijacked our attention first.

In essence, you’re getting a combo of Brutal and Technical Death Metal, … [...] Click to raid more!

Red Method - Vol I: As In Life - Album Cover

Detonate, Red Method called one of their songs. And this is how you feel once their newest EP As in Life sets its sights on you. You’ll face a series of hardly controlled explosions without cover for your sorry ass. Or let me freely steal someone’s opinion, saying that every song of this band “…feels like a shotgun blast to the face.” We quite agree.

But fear naught. Towers, the latest blurb from Manchester-based The Machinist, will nonetheless try to make its point. Sincerely so and with all due wiolence the RMR crew can stomach. And what’s up with this Northern English city? Methinks, it regurgitates brutality with abandon. Case in point, the RMR crew just enjoyed some bastardly encounters… [...] Click to raid more!

Looking at the band pic, the RMR crew thought these guys emerged from somewhere out of the scorched US South. Around the Tucson/Tombstone area, where the rocks are gritty and the cacti huge. Y’know, good ol’ Wyatt’s ancient hunting grounds, now turned tourist trap. Thereabouts.

But not so. Obey The Sun hail from Hungary, of all places. But I gotta admit, they play their part well. The way they chew craggy rock just like ’em parched good ‘uns straight out of those dusty arroyos down there draws us like a bear to honey. Saguaro country comfort right there. Or do … [...] Click to raid more!
