Now I have the second single from the Catalan band Syberia in front of me, and the more I listen to this music, the more allusions I seem to discover. This song is simultaneously an acoustic mandala à la My Sleeping Karma, melodic and fragile like the soundscapes of Alcest, and at the same time brutal and destructive like Neurosis. It is not the usual Postrock or Shoegaze-sound and it is not the usual noise created by angry men; it has a lot of melodies inside the composition performed with a...

At first, I was curious because I wasn't familiar with SYBERIA from Barcelona. The press release linked to a YouTube video for their new song "llampecs d’oblit d’uns records en vida," (flashes of oblivion of memories in life) so I clicked on it and was greeted by a scene I know well from our travels through Catalonia: Cercs on the Llobregat River, the Via Verde road running alongside the river, and the former Cercs power plant. The video's narrative takes us through the Llobregat Valley,...

Sunnata are an obvious candidate for the upcoming Roadburn Festival 2024.

Hailing from Berlin, Grin offers us a raging and violent mix embeded in a groovy version of Neurosis. The band dissolves the static song structure of Neurosis and made them a bit more agile, almost dancable. The rage is listenable and feels real. To compare this first release with their first ever release, the latest is more accesible than their debut. For fans of powerful walls of noise you have to check this band out.
