Picture Credit: 30 Kilo Fieber Records - except for MangoWave logo by Bloody Larry Summer in Central Europe is the season for festivals, open air shows, skinny-dipping, or getting burned by the sun. Thus, the period from late May to early September is that silly season when releases are rather rare. But whenever this summer hole ends, our record players, CD or tape decks, and sound speakers long for the arrival of brand new releases. For fans of Punk Rock and Hardcore, the season has begun with a big bang since Bavarian label 30 Kilo Fieber Records has provided us with two burning hot new records in early September: „Ultramarin“ by Austrian Punk rockers Anna Absolut and th...

Single Review: Ultramonk 9 feat. King Krooked Kane - Ain't Easy Being MEan (2022) - Guest Feature by Dmitriy Churilov

   First of all, and because it cannot be said often enough: нет войны | ні війні | No War How to help the people in Ukraine ______________________________________________________ Please note that MangoWave is gradually moving from Blogger to WordPress. Click here to visit the new homepage. Picture Credit: Ultramonk Ultramonk 9 feat. King Krooked Kane - Ain't Easy Being MEan Release Date: September 02, 2022 Duration: 05:07 Genre: Hip Hop / Gangsta Rap With a new track to make Flying Lotus jealous, Ultramonk 9 has released a new music video. As mentioned before it’s a combo of EDM production and some old-school rapping, with turntables entwined in the mix. The main part of the track is a mean (intended) slow beat with low-pitched vocals; the flow is chill, and the game is strong. The second best thing about this is the video itself. It features a kid in a huge Trump mask, flexing around the city, being all weird and cheesy. The sequence also features cartoon segments tha...

Album Review: Havok - Rorschach (2022) - Guest Feature by Dmitriy Churilov

Image
 First of all, and because it cannot be said often enough: нет войны | ні війні | No War How to help the people in Ukraine ______________________________________________________ Picture Credit: Johan Cronqvist Havok - Rorschach Release Date: September 09, 2022 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Duration: 52:02 Genre: Progressive Death Metal Origin: Sweden A slow but consistent duo (including Stygian Tomb’s drummer) has finally blessed us with a new release. The last full-length from the Swedish colossus Havok was released nine years ago - and as massive as Statues of Sisyphus was, the new album manages to develop the band's progressive vector even further. Rorschach distants itself a bit more from the signature Gothenburg sound and dives deeper into the experimental landscape. The album begins with a clear Grammy nominee pop metal sound, however, it is quickly replaced with downtuned chugging riffs, weird time signatures, and intense blasting worthy of early Dark Tranquility...

Single Review: R3ymond - Top Down (2022) - Guest Feature by Dmitriy Churilov

Image
  First of all, and because it cannot be said often enough: нет войны | ні війні | No War How to help the people in Ukraine ______________________________________________________ Picture Credit: R3ymond R3ymond - Top Down Release Date: August 30, 2022 Label: R3yRecords Duration: 03:27 Genre: Soul / R'n'B Origin: USA Christian R3ymond Saunders is a US-based producer, actively and consistently conquering the pop-soul/r’n’b scene. Raymond has been a keen creator since his childhood, and he rose all the way from the bottom to the top as an artist - beginning his journey as a choirboy and a cruise ship singer, now he is aiming really high with his latest single “Top Down”. The song builds upon the classic legacy of mainstream soul performers, combining both its old and new schools. Minimalistic beats with a touch of electro/g-funk and disco, supplied by bumpy bass and rooting in light keyboard breeziness. The main attraction here is undoubtedly R3ymond’s voice, rich deep tenor tha...

The five members of InDecision have played in various bands before, Diego, The Bone Idles, Noisome, to name a few. As they started playing music together in their new-found formation, the lowest common denominator was found quickly - and to everyone's pleasure it is the Wave and Post Punk sound of the 1980s. As these melancholic and velvet sounds are experiencing a ...
