(35:54, Album, Digital, Aenaos, Records, 28/12/2021)
The artist name (((S))) may be ungooglable, but fortunately on streaming services such as Bandcamp, the artist can be found though. This ten-track release is an invitation to "The World of (((S)))", a sonic exploration to the Danish artist's reality. If the songs on this release appear familiar to you, then probably you are an (((S))) supporter of the first hour because the album on hand contains re-recorded and re-interpreted versions of songs from the first two albums "Ghost" (2009) and "Phantom" (2010). Using modern-day recording technology and updated equipment, (((S))) has given these ten Post Punk and Dreamwave anthems a whole new colouring. The result is a 35-minute sonic reverie full of passion, sweet gloom, and real emotions.

Sano Hill - The Climb (MR)
(04:09, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 28/01/2022)
While working on his debut album, singer and songwriter Sano Hill from Galway, Ireland presents the first single off that upcoming longplayer.

Global conflicts and the alarming signs of climate change have left their traces in this soundscape next to the impact of the virus. And yet, 'The Climb' is a tune full of joy and passion as it spreads hope for change and the awareness that a better future can be attained.

Hana Piranha - Fucked up Feeling (MR)
(04:01, Single, Digital, selfrelease, 11/03/2022)
The latest single by Brighton-based artist Hana Piranha is not suitable for sensible moods. The New Zealand-born artist presents a powerful anthem which embraces the act of self-destruction. With heavy Alternative Rock riffs grinding on masive walls of synths, the verses are an impressive sonic analogy to the numbness of the grey everyday in our dystopian present. Tension and intensity of the sound rise towards approaching the chorus until they climax in the anthemic line "I just want that fucked-up feeling". Hana Piranha's single perfectly displays pain and self-destruction as the only proof of oneself being still alive.

Am Samstag - Dualism (MR)
(41:01, Album, Digital, Black Market Music and Urgent Disk Records, 18/03/2022)
The band name Am Samstag means "Saturday" or "On Saturday" in German. Nevertheless, this trio from Swiss town Lausanne sounds like a whole long weekend.

Between self-confident ease of mind, the urge to yell and shout against the status quo of life on our home planet, and dark humour, Am Samstag provide us with finest Grunge and Punk Rock. Heavy and melancholic riffs create massively rolling dynamics while raging rhythms attack like a horde of wrecking balls. And thus, Am Samstag do not only successfully keep the heritage of both Nirvana and Minor Threat alive, they also bring the Grunge of the next generation.
