Deweekly: February 23th to February 29th
Well, this week sucked. I fell sick on Sunday having only heard two albums on friday so I'll be playing catch up today while I work and list some stuff that could have potential. I'll get on March 1st releases starting Monday I believe, so the new list would be out around that time. I hope you all had a better week than me. |
| 1 |  | Borknagar
Fall
Thoughts incoming, maybe even a review if no one else gets on it soon. I'm just glad they didn't bork it. |
| 2 |  | Nadine Shah
Filthy Underneath
Mixed feelings about this one, I was hyped but the latter half was not very engaging, have to revisit. |
| 3 |  | Monkey3
Welcome to the Machine
Just heard this one on the way to work this morning, nice companion to the Slift album, but way less ambitious. Pink Floyd all over the place. |
| 4 |  | Ghost Funk Orchestra
A Trip To The Moon
Listening as I type and this might be my favorite album of the week. Didn't know about this band. |
| 5 |  | Traveler (CAN)
Prequel To Madness
Because sometimes all you need to pull you through a hellish week is some good ol' heavy metal. |
| 6 |  | Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
of the Last Human Being
First time hearing this band and I was not disappointed. Definitely the legends were true about them being quite special. |
| 7 |  | Hand of Kalliach
Corryvreckan
A black metal married couple from Scotland. I mean they're married, not to black metal, but to themselves. Anyway, this is very melodic, very soothing, ethereal, epic, all that. |
| 8 |  | And Also The Trees
Mother-of-pearl Moon
Someone (our someone not just any someone) made me listen to this. It's a first so is it too crazy to think it reminds me of Nick Cave? Lovely album though. Love the gloomy mood. |
| 9 |  | Amaranthe
The Catalyst
Only heard it once before I got sick and fever has deleted basically every trace of it, so I gotta go back to it before trusting pizza's 4 or I'll throw it on the 3 folder. |
| 10 |  | Erika de Casier
Still
And this is the last album I've been able to get on before wrapping up the week. Pretty sweet to close it, given the circumstances. I know there's a shit ton left to check but like they say "you can't have it all". |
| 11 |  | Counting Hours
The Wishing Tomb
Here are some other releases that were on my radar that might be good. Muzz's review of this made me check it out, heard two tracks, it was alright, didn't have the stomach to go through it today though. |
| 12 |  | Dust Bolt
Sound & Fury
These guys are interesting. The little I heard sounded like some weird metal band from the 90s. Can't really tag them properly.
Edit: I stand corrected, these mfs are catchy as all hell. |
| 13 |  | Laetitia Sadier
Rooting For Love
Was curious about this one, but considering I never heard a single Stereolab record, this might be better happening once I get on that first. |
| 14 |  | Iron Curtain (ESP)
Savage Dawn
Fellow Spanish metal citizens that emulate Motorhead and speed metal, will hear it eventually. |
| 15 |  | Whitelands
Night-Bound Eyes Are Blind To The Day
Shoegazy? Post punkish? only skimmed it, sounded nice. |
| 16 |  | Mick Mars
The Other Side of Mars
I'm a huge fan of Motley Crue so this deserved to be heard considering everything that happened recently between him and the band but heard the first track and it just felt so... hollow. |
| 17 |  | Morta Skuld
Creation Undone
Wasn't looking very hard into death metal this week, so this looked interesting, but the little I heard was just ok. |
| 18 |  | Druadan Forest
Dismal Spells Part II: The Night Circus
I'll wait for garas or Scuro to tell me if this dungeon synth thingy is good or not, |
| 19 |  | Stygian Crown
Funeral for a King
More metal, the one with ball clinching highs, dragons and all that sorcery, |
| 20 |  | They Came From Visions
The Twilight Robes
Gotta fix this cause it's broken, but I think it was black metal? I remember there was somewhat enticing.
Edit: Fixed |
| 21 |  | Meute
Empor
Description says this is marching band meets techno. I'll leave it at that. |
| 22 |  | Vermin Fate
Total Nuclear Assault
Don't know if the name is suggesting they're ripping off Nuclear Assault or not, but they thrash and there's a revival and I'll contribute to spread it. |
| 23 |  | Russian Red
Volverme a enamorar
Should be an EP, cause it's only 19 minutes but other sites have it as an LP so whatever I added as an LP. Haven't heard anything from her since her debut which I loved but I might give it a cursory check since it's short. |
| 24 |  | Defying
Wadera
Polish black metal, which basically speaks for itself. |
| 25 |  | Maya Shenfeld
Under The Sun
And some ambient through Thrill Jockey to end the week, why not. |
