  Fresh Mango 18 new releases that are worth checking out! 18 short reviews.  If available on Spotify, one song each will also be added to the  MangoRotation playlist  (MR) for 14 days. This coverage was created via Musosoup  #Sustainablecurator De Arma - Strayed in Shadows   ( MR ) With their newest album "Strayed in the Shadows", Swedish band De Arma hark back on their roots. Thus, the shadows of twelve years band history come to life on this seven-track release published via Trollmusic this June. Hence, De Arma let the emotional and anthemic sounds of Gothic Rock become even more imposant by merging them with the atmospheric air of Alternative Rock and the gentle cold of Post Rock. _ Echoseven - Every-Thing   ( MR ) _Echoseven from New Brunswick, Canada present their new sound as they re-released the 2020 song 'Every-Thing'. With newfound strength and finesse, the quintet lets the audience enjoy the sonic journey up from rock bottom like a phoenix from the ashes

  Es War Mord - in der miesosuppe (Four Track Mind Vol. 04) Release Date: December 17, 2021 Label: Tomatenplatten Format: Vinyl / Digital Length: 09:20 Genre: Düsterpunk / Punk Rock Origin: Berlin , Germany The 7'' record yiu can see on the picture above contains six tracks that were recorded by Berlin's Düsterpunk band Es War Mord (German: It Was Murder) during one afternoon. It is the fourth part of the Four Track Mind singles series by Berlin's label Tomatenplatten (previous parts: Vol 01 - Black Heino , Vol 02 - Mir Express , Vol 03 - 13 Year Cicada ). With the 01:48-minute-song 'in der Hitze' der Küche (German: 'in the Kitchen's Heat') being the single's longest track, you can imagine that this release is extremely diverting and entertaining. Es War Mord call their sound Düsterpunk which can be translated to Dark Punk or Grim Punk. The sound reminds of legendary 1980s Punk Rock from Germany played by bands such as Razzia, or Upright Citizen

Mouth Congress from Toronto, Ontario artistically break through genre borders, and re-install new chlichés. After al
