Comity - as everything is a tragedy


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Info

omity has been making noise ever since 1996, with a line up that evolved through out the years, along with their music. After a demo recorded in 1998, on which the metal hard core influences blends in with a powerful NYHC style, the band finally settles with a stable line in the year 2001 with a split album « The catharsis syntax project » with the Parisian band XII, which becomes the first true recording made of the band ever since they formed. The chaotic structures and the oppressive atmosphere rooted in this album, were to be the basis of the bands music and artistic approach to what was to be there own vision of music. This unusual approach arouses about every bit of curiosity from the press and public that encounters the band and its music. The complex and technical structures collide with an atmospheric and oppressive feeling of frustration. This is how Comity keeps pushing the limits, to an extent where its music becomes an unorthodox but innovative downward spiral to self inflicting emotional chaos. By this time, the band sets up to record some new material for an upcoming release. This shall be a 5 acts concept album: « The deus ex-machina as a forgotten genius ». Recorded in august 2002, the album is released in march 2003, and gets a warm welcome from the French and international press. The band will be touring for over 2 years becoming one of the most promising act in the scene. After a re-release of the bands album on US label united edge records including 2 previously unreleased tracks, they hit the studio to for their second opus ...As everything is a tragedy. and reveal a more mature and abstract brutal music.this new material will be released on july 24th 2k6 on candlelight records (EMPEROR, CROWBAR, ZYKLON, BLUT AUS NORD, STARCKWEATHER, OVERMARS, SHE SAID DESTROY...). COMITY played over 100 gigs with bands like THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, CONVERGE, CAVE IN, TODAY IS THE DAY, TERROR, DAUGHTERS, KEELHAUL, TEXTURES, JR EWING, LACK, BORN FROM PAIN, GOJIRA, DAGOBA, NOSTROMO, BLOCKHEADS, BLACK BOMB A, AMANDA WOODWARD, AT FURY FEST 2K4, etc...

Comity - The deus ex-machina as a forgotten genius


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Tracklist

1-About fracture of the last solid element (the deus ex-machina on the road again) (11:49)
2-A track to forget what has been forgotten (introduce yourself to me/us please call 555.6185214) (12:30)
3-Her own king theory (what the fuck is miscommunication ?) (9:25)
4-Alleluia versus amen (as eros kills) (9:15)
5-A farewell to a crimson king in a crimson way... (hats off mister Salinger) (11:51)

Info

Hace bastate que no escuchaba algo de este tipo, luego de haber escuchado por años a Neurosis, Isis o Today is the Day esto renueva totalmente su trabajo. Comity es una banda Francesa que ha dado muchísimo de que hablar en Europa y Estados Unidos, haciendo tours junto a bandas como Today is the Day, Chimaera y Dillinger Escape plan. Lo que puedo percibir de este album es que es completísimo, denso, oscuro, potente, intenso y por sobretodo experimental en relación a nuevas estructuras y matices. Cada canción tiene algo diferente y podemos encontrar variados estilos que van desde grindcore, rock and roll, hardcore, noise y un claro sonido denso e intenso comparable con Isis, Neurosis, Carahter o incluso Converge, sobretodo en el tema "Her own King Theory" en donde el comienzo me recuerda a varios temas del disco Jane Doe de Converge.

Cada canción es realmente un viaje, en donde es mejor sentarse a escuchar detenidamente cada estructura, analizarla, sentirla y sacar algo de ello. Al principio cuesta digerir todo y podría parecer un disco demasiado denso para alguien que no está acostumbrado ya que el noise de las guitarras y las baterías son como golpes constantes en los oídos. Este disco es totalmente variante en el sentido más puro de las palabras, puedes encontrarte con partes extremadamente densas y oscuras y luego sin darte cuenta estar envuelto en sonidos más rockeros o guitarras limpias, tensas y disonantes. No me parece algo extremadamente nuevo y diferente al resto de bandas que podríamos encontrar que toquen algo similar, pero lo que si tiene es que puede sonar distinta a todas ellas e implantar un sello personal.

"The Deux ex-machina as a Forgotten Genius" no es precisamente un album que podría recomendar para ser escuchado por cualquiera, pero si lo recomiendo para todos los amantes de bandas como Isis, Today is the Day y Neurosis que sin duda no son bandas que cualquiera pueda digerir. Es bueno hacer el ejercicio de escuchar un disco una y otra vez y encontrar nuevas estructuras cada vez, eso es lo que hace que un disco valga realmente la pena y se convierta en un objeto de colección. Estos músicos saben lo que hacer y lo hacen bien.

La voz es realmente una brutalidad, muchas veces me pareció escuchar a Tommy Rogers, vocal de Between the Buried and me pero eso creo que es una simple coincidencia. El arte es simple, oscuro, cargado de texturas de tonos azulados y negros. Muy ad hok al sonido de la banda. Un certero lanzamiento por parte de United Edge Records.

Capricorns - Ruder Forms Survive


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Tracklist

1. 3:47 1977: Blood For Papa
2. 7:59 1969: A Predator Among Us
3. 5:29 : The First Broken Promise
4. 3:55 1440: Exit Wargasmatron
5. 12:39 1066: Born On The Bayeux
6. 4:46 1946: The Last Renaissance Man
7. 9:22 793AD: The Harrying Of The Heathen

Info

The music world is full of bands who wear their influences proudly on their sleeves. This is usually a bad thing (sometimes even touching on being a very-bad-thing-indeed.) Those who manage to step beyond the poses and patterns of their heroes are in a small minority. They manage to pay homage whilst simultaneous developing and evolving in their own direction. For every Interpol, there are a thousand bad Joy Divisions; for every Music, there are a thousand bad Stone Roses and for every Nirvana, there are hundreds of thousands of really lame Pixies rip-offs.

Modern ‘stoner’ rock bands (the term applied with full acknowledgement of how terrible and cringe-worthy it is) are less directly influenced by Black Sabbath than by the second generation of bands spawned from the loins of Mssrs Ward, Iommi, Butler and Osbourne. They owe their debt more to the monstrous rumble of Sleep and Kyuss. In most cases this debt consists of every royalty they might ever have received. And then you uncover Capricorns pitched almost directly in between the breathtaking instrumental desert wake of Kyuss and the suffocating miasma of Sleep. Raw, inventively heavy and scary-as-fuck.

Album opener ‘1977: Blood for Papa’ is a case in point: starting with some decidedly desperate gasps of breath before bursting out of the forest with a mouthful of bloody fur. The riffs are so tight and the tension so real that you feel like running yourself. ‘1969: A Predator among Us’ slows the pace with a disquieting bassline played in waltz time. ‘1066: Born on the Bayeux’ alternatives between chilling quiet and chunky slabs of loud without ever lapsing into cliche or sounding generic, before finally delivering a climax which brings to mind Iron Maiden covering Lynryd Skynryd. ‘793AD: Harrying of The Heathen’ opens with an almost tear-jerkingly lonely guitar, even though you can sense from the first moment that very bad things are waiting around the next bend. Every note is played to some purpose; every riff builds towards something else; every chord change seemingly designed not only to compliment the others, but to make the piece as a whole sound less like a collection of songs but as movements within a sprawling Symphony of the Damned.

All of this, and yet infinitely more accessible. Remember, if you will, the first time you heard Queens of The Stone Age’s Songs For The Deaf and realised that what Dave Grohl had helped QOTSA do was to rediscover The Rock (cue embarrassing devil-horn hand gesture)? Ruder Forms Survive sounds like an unreleased instrumental demo from Lullabies to Paralyze but only if Dave and Nick had stayed around long enough to have a hand in it. This is an album created on the wrong side of The Magic Faraway Tree, and you get the impression that if Shirley Manson tried to get close to this one, she’d be eaten. Probably (hopefully?) alive.

Info

"Song," the debut EP from anarcho-doom metal band, Giant, marks the second release from Southern Empire Records. 5 lengthy songs of political, yet introspective, meditation, this CD will appeal to fans of Pelican, Isis, Mono, as well as punk/hardcore kids who still believe that heavy music can be radical and meaningful. Packaged along the same lines as the environmentally-friendly, unique design of Prayer for Cleansing's The Tragedy, this CD will appeal to the musical, aesthetic, and political sensibilities of anyone who picks it up.

2. In The Grit

9. Long War, The

Info

Hot off the heels of their split with labelmates Achilles, Engineer serves up Reproach. This album was born from the varying manners of hardship and adversity that forced the band to hole up and dig in. The resulting months of being locked up together was spent hammering this record into submission through countless hours of writing, honing, practicing… All the frustration and angst of recording was infused into the album.

Reproach starts off sounding like a machine. The music is precise, loud, and caustic. The vocals are extremely harsh sounding, and the vocalist definitely has a bellowing quality to his voice. Listening to the album, you get the feel and idea that this is an album where much of it was written in a condensed, specific period of time. The emotional timbre of the songs is very similar throughout the entire album. This record is very focused; the instruments sound full and powerful.

There are several songs that stand out on this release. "The Long War" with its "calm before the storm" quality is one example. It is actually one of the spots during the duration of the album that you can take a breather. Much of the album has a bludgeon the listener to death aesthetic, which makes it ironic that this is the last song on the record. "In the Grit" has a great, angular and noisy feel to the song. Some parts of it could be likened to what Breather Resist does, but Engineer do it in a way that makes it uniquely their own. The best song on the album is the first one, "Nomad." This one has some great guitar parts that really set the song apart and the vocal choir in the song is used to an excellent effect. Overall this is a good record; it can be a little slow at times, but that might be the point.

As a small aside, Chris Owens of Lords produced this album; his production is really good and developing quite a demand, especially from Hex bands as Achilles also recorded with him.

Engineer has created a pretty good record. Reproach is a nice first album that shows a great deal of potential. It will be interesting to hear where the band is going next.

Info

Seminal Skate-Punk band from San Jose, CA (1980-1983) heavily influenced by the first wave of punk rock (Stooges, NY Dolls, Dead Boys, Radio Birdman, Saints, etc.,) Los Olvidados were the Northern California equivalent of T.S.O.L., Agent Orange, The Adolescents, and others from Orange County who rose to popularity during the formative years of West Coast punk. Although featured on the MRR comp All Quiet On The Western Front and the early Thrasher magazine Skate-Rock Comps (#1 & #2), the band self-destructed before a full-length album would see the light of day--that is, until it was included in A.T.'s Skate-Punk Reissue Series. Even at 20 years old, this stuff still sounds so vital and youthful that you'll have no choice but to dust off your deck, drain the pool, and skate!

Spickle - The Right to Remain Silent

Tracklist

Intro/Cottonmouth
Spastic Orion
It's a Nice Day to Die
Valve Cover
Backbreak
Bread Puddin
Psych
2-3= -Fun
Spore Addict
C'Mon
Cadence
Gherkin...

Info

Here's some excellent instrumental work from this New Orleans group that has quite a range of styles covered. Of courses there's some math metal in there, but the songs (which are generally brief) travel from smooth clean breaks to lots of distortion and rhythmic picking patterns or technical riffing, as well as some great melodic chord progressions and layering. At times the clean passages have an off kilter indie rock vibe happening, and "It's a Nice Day to Die" even kicks out the southern country flavor with some slick acoustic guitars playing a jangly mix of arpeggios and chord progressions over some distant feedback. Very fucking cool. There's a bit of jazziness to "Psych", and "2 - 3 = -Fun" is chock full of blazing rock solos and dual guitar harmonies. I love the drumming. The performance is really tight with some excellent fills and cymbal work, but it's not too flashy: He knows when to go nuts and when to take it easy and be the backbone. The songwriting is excellent as well, because there's often an emotional quality to the music that's all too often absent from instrumental acts' output, and that makes this stuff so much better than most of what I've heard from similar bands. "C'mon" runs twice as long as the other tracks, hitting the seven-minute mark, but never gets boring, despite ample repetition… there's just something about the flow. I like the recording. I might prefer to hear a little bit more density/volume to the bass, but that's it. The drums are heavy and natural, the guitars have great texture and clarity, and the mix is fine for the most part. I don't have any real complaints whatsoever. I can't say I'm big on the layout though, it's just really inconsistent across the board and doesn't do this incredible musicianship justice. There's no text on the front cover, just a toned photo (with a weird color scheme) of an Asian girl imprisoned and looking out a fenced window or something, then on the inner spread is a black and white band photo, and the back cover is an image of a group of people that I guess might be awaiting execution or something. The text on the traycard is crisp and legible, but the minimal text that appears on the back of the booklet is horribly pixilated and looks like crap. The images range from fairly clear (the band photo) to slightly pixilated and a bit rough (everything else), and there's no cohesion to the typefaces or colors used throughout. This is one of those CD's that proves you can't judge a book by its cover. I put off listening to this for weeks because the layout was so awful and bland, but musically these guys are fucking great, and I really enjoy this. Now I feel like a jackass for not having given this a spin sooner.

The gay corporation - Dreams In Alcohol, Devil In My Bed

Tracklist

01. San Francisco's Fears
02. Son Of The Godness Lord
03. Liar
04. Butcher's Boyfriend
05. You Are The Sunshine Of My Life

Info

The Gay Corporation est un groupe de Bethune qui, il semblerait se soit formé en 2003. Je ne sais pas trop ce qui se cache derrière The Gay Corporation car c'est également le nom du label qui s'est chargé de sortir les productions de General Lee, mais apparement on peut aussi retrouver dans le groupe des membres de General Lee, Al'x et Tourette.
Musicalement le groupe se dit jouer du Rock 'n Roll Blues Core. Ok, ca vous parle pas? eh bien à moi non plus. Bon il semblerait quand même que ce projet soit un projet à prendre au second degré. Mais musicalement c'est quand même pas si mal fait que ca. C'est assez bargeot, mais avec un côté rock 'n roll, mais je n'ai pas vu le côté blues dans la musique... Sérieusement, en gros ca m'a fait pensé à un mix entre Daughters/ The Great Redneck Hope (pour le côté bargeoi) et Refused/Deadguy (pour le côté rock/destructuré). Ca fait quand même des belles références. Le son de guitare est très crado/baveu, ce qui enleve un peu de clareté au tout, mais qui donne également de l'autre côté un certain charme aux titres et qui accentue l'univers un peu bargeot.
Bref on peut retrouver sur cette demo 5 titres pour 13 minutes. Si vous aimez les trucs bargeots, The Gay Corporation devrait vous convenir

The members of Final Exit and Final Exit as a band where known for their uncompromising lifestyle (straight edge) and their hard, fast music. They where around since 87, from the beginning of the Umeå Hardcore scene.

They released Teg [sound samples], their first album in 94. 15 tracks of raw, brutal, hard, fast straight in your face hardcore classics. Their second and last album, entitled Umeå [sound samples] came in early 97 and it was backed up by the bands Final tour. The band had allready realized that there was no place in todays hardcore scene for a band like Final Exit. They where TOO real and didn´t want to take part of todays fake scene...

Info

There are those certain CDs you love off the bat. You put it in the CD player in your car, and it stays there for months on end. After a while, you start thinking maybe you’re done with it for a bit, but you keep it there just to be sure. Then there’s the CDs you buy and try to return the exact same day, just hoping you’ll get your precious $10 back. So where does Song Of Zarathustra’s The Birth Of Tragedy lie? Pretty much smack dab in the middle.

To describe their sound, if possible, it should first be known that on recordings they've used a drum machine. They do have a live drummer, who's fully capable of everything performed on this record, but they've chosen to go the drum machine route for this, and their other full length, A View From High Tides. In any event, SOZ combines "the speedy math rock complexity of Drive Like Jehu, with the art-punk hysteria of Antioch Arrow, and the artillery power of Nuerosis." This description is according to Epitonic.com, and I'd say it's fitting to a certain extent. The description is sort of misleading though, because this sounds more like straightforward hardcore than it does a fusion of those three. The result works in certain instances, others not as much.

After the minute or so intro, the album immediately kicks into "Mess Of Zero." The song starts off in an eerie mood, with the sounds of an organ resonating before the vocals actually kick in. The organ is done on a keyboard, as the lead singer handles the band's keyboard duties as well. Then the vocals and guitar kick in. I've actually never noticed this until listening to the song at this very moment, but the vocals are quite intense while still giving off sort of a "bouncy" feel. The shredding and stopping on a dime of the guitars, accompanied by the frenzied screaming just makes you want to bob your head. You almost get sort of a Blood Brothers-type feel for the song - almost. But that'll be the end of that comparison, because at no other point in this album does that comparison sound true. The keyboards may lead some people to draw that line, but none of the rest of the music matches. None of the songs here really stand out all that much, but the intensity of the music keeps things interesting. And clocking in at only 22 minutes or so, it doesn't ever really have the time to wear out its welcome. The 12 songs all hover at about the two minute mark or less, just enough for the songs to really hit you. There is an instrumental song on here to stir things up a bit, a keyboard driven-song with a pretty solid guitar-accented crescendo to finish things up.

Lyrically, Song Of Zarathustra's true intent comes out. They're all Nihlist, and pretty big on the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, those being that traditional philosophy and religion are erroneous, and thus harmful to human life. "Anxious for what the future forsees? / All temptations, release... / Believe and receive." It's pretty obvious that their ideals are spread right across the lyrics page. I'm sure some will complain they can't get into the music because of the clash of ideologies they share with the band, but the vocals are so incoherent that even looking at the lyrics sheet it's tough to understand. What you cannot hear cannot affect you.

When all is said and done, these guys lay some really solid music on the table here. It's fast, furious, and there's no Vin Diesel. If that's not appealing to a fan of hardcore, I don't know what is.

Brainoil has been at it for a close to 4 years now, churning out their own brand of heavy as fuck, riff fanatical sludge. Brainoil is composed of three mad thrashers from the Bay Area.... Greg from LANA DAGALAS, IRA from GRIMPLE (and their amazing new metal band WATCH THEM DIE), and NATE who played in DESTROY and has a second cousin who plays in NIGEL PEPPER COCK. Previous releases include a split CD with defunct local sludge brains, CRUEVO and a split 7" with Reno's almighty IRON LUNG. Cover artwork by Oakland artist JUDD HAWK. The cd contains videos files of a live show at Gilman and the infamous "Showdown" Video made from their demo version of "I won't Die" by Scott Andrade.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Tracklist

Circling Boy
Manual Function
Song for Wilhelmina Vautrin
Her Article
Wellwisher

Info

New York’s Hiretsukan can claim the dubious distinction of being the only G7 band we ever actually begged to get back together after they temporarily called it quits in 2002 shortly after their acclaimed first release “Invasive/ Exotic”.

The end result of our embarassing grovelling is “End States”, a 10 song barrel of unexploded monkeys that expands on the ripping, lurching, dark, distinctive brand of hardcore that put them on our Christmas list in the first place.

Have you ever played Doom 3? If you have, you may notice that Michelle’s throat-shredding, over-the-top vocals bear an eerie resemblance to those gigantic demons that throw fireballs and scare the fuck out of you everytime you enter a new room even though you fucking know they’re coming. Fuck THAT.

Recorded by legendary New York hardcore producer Don Fury (Agnostic Front, Born Against, Citizen’s Arrest, GG Allin, Burn)!

Ultralyd - Chromosome Gun


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Tracklist

1. Beautor
2. Pink Mood
3. Zooblast
4. Ejaculatorium
5. Brown Degree
6. Glottality
7. Last Resort

Info

Now this is the perfect antidote to that Hold Steady disc...a series of free jazz/skronk jams from a band featuring saxophonist/clarinet player Frode Gjerstad and Noxagt bassist Kjetil Braadsdal. The quartet is rounded out by Anders Hanna on guitar and Morten J. Olsen on drums. From what I can gather, the seven tracks on the disc were cot over one day last year. All the players tear loose, with Gjersrad and Brandsdal at the forefront. There's something immensely pleasing about the sound of a sqeaking squalling saxophone played over the rumbling of a downtuned distorted bass
