The roaring annoys me the most of the sludge and hardcore bands, and you don't understand the texts. So why sing or roar? Let's remember that Sludge is actually a very groovy mix of blues and hardcore and let us play this mix with a feeling of rhythm that only Brazilians can get. Be it Sepultura or Chico Science and even Krisiun grooves despite all the brutality. Madbong´s EP just takes 17 minutes of grooving and positively swinging brutality, which is actually a contradiction itself. Madbong...

Sit in the car, choose Bonetower on your playlist, press Play and Repeat and make a nice day cruising. And I swear to you, that goes on both the blocked German motorways as well as in Spanish deserts and steppes. Yes, I've already tried it. This music is actually created in the head with this music. You automatically carry a dusty Ray Ban sunglasses, you get an enormous thirst for the cold bearing beer and at the next petrol station you will fill tens of gallons into your tank just to not end...

Music created with AI still has a stigma among musicians: the musician didn't create it themselves; the machine rolled the dice, only certain patterns are repeated, and the individual instrumental tracks often sound like digital garbage and Ai will do my job one day. In this Bulgarian project, the drummer seems somewhat limited to me, or the AI constantly repeats the same rolls and fills. I know this because I also play hybrid rock, where the skeleton of the song is made up of AI-generated...

I have to admit that Berlin creates a lot of interesting bands. One of the latest are Icarus Burns, which I guess, I will hear and see them at Berlin´s Desertfest in 2025. Mintaur opens this sonic odyssey, flowing slowly with gentle psychedelic chords that take their time to reach their climax. The first two minutes give way to orthodox riffs that veer between stoner and heavy psychedelia. Following a path reminiscent of bands like Rotor, guitar solos bring us beautiful and exotic oriental...

Berlin is a country for itself in Germany. 80 millions of us hate Berlin because it´s the only capital in Europe that is financed by the rest of the country. Germany is affording Berlin. Few people with a more open mind are proud on every bands and artists who came out from Berlin, started with Bowie, Iggy Pop, Einstürzende Neubauten, Techno or Rammstein. Brueder Selke & Midori Hirano has a huge potential to set art into music, no matter if it´s movie ore paintings or even sculptures. A...

Hailing from Norway and you can feel and listen to an empty and cold landscape, while you´re wearing a fat, warm winter jacket when you´re listening to this dense and atmospheric tune. We lost Toundra in October 2023 and we give "Les Dunes" a warm welcome. This band manage to find the right balance between shredding and the the right chords for creating a well balanced atmosphere of cold and warm. Most Postrock bands are almost proud of their cold and frosty sound. Les Dunes do the split...

Nothing unusual really: Tony Iommi plays one amazing riff, hook and solo after another in and outside a castle with a band. If Ronnie James Dio sang along, it could easily pass as "Heaven and Hell" 2.0. Up until that point, everything is normal. It's the normal Toni Iommi riff god song. For the post, I needed a picture and googled "Tony Iommi Xerjoff" and ended up with a perfume range from the company "Xerjoff", which was founded by Sergio Momo in 2007. Sergio Momo also plays guitar in the...

Ich habe so ein paar Auslöser, einer davon ist der Umgang mit Sprache und auch der Devokalisierung von Slogans, die einseitig von einer Richtung in die andere gerichtet sind. Bei Tiefenrausch kann ich es zum Teil nachvollziehen, da es einige Bands mit diesem Namen gibt und TFNRSH visuell recht einprägsam ausschaut. Nun habe ich einen sehr interessanten Song der Tübinger Band Tiefenrausch vor mir, der spannende 11 Minuten lang wie zwei Minuten vergehen lässt. Sowohl vom Aufbau als auch vom...

In my opinion, the Swiss band Six Months of Sun is, alongside the French band "The Necromancers", one of the most talented bands in terms of songwriting, technical skills and artwork. But somehow both bands seem to be happy with their status as semi-professional weekend bands. I don't understand why a band like Six Months of Sun puts more ideas into a 3 minute song than they do playing concerts. The previously released single "Ningen" also shows their ability on the instruments as well as in...
