Jeans, once invented by Bavarian Jewish immigrant Levi Strauß stand for resilience, sustainability, ruggedness, persistence, and of course for style and taste. We wear our denim in all sizes and lengths, in all shapes and colours, stone-washed, used-looking, and what-not. Denim can outlive relationships, episodes, and even lives. A pair of jeans can b...

It was a like a rise like phoenix from burned remains. Within short time, a first demo and the debut album " Soul of the Zeremony " were crafted, on which the band presented a heavy, blues-laden, and organ-driven Heavy Rock with tendencies towards Psych and Stoner Rock. A strong caesura or change of paradigms could be spotted when Zeremony released their stunning EP " Cosmic Dystopia " in 2019 - a powerful and heavy Retro Prog banger.

By the time you catch the glimpse of Frank it's already too late. Danzig-like ripped barbarian with long curly hair produces the music that sounds exactly like the author looks. And he looks freaking badass. So fathers… hide your daughters! It’s some beefy mid-tempo heavy metal with power/prog influences. Clean vocals are expected, and they delivered in that deep classic timbre. Keyboards pave the way to chugging crunchy riff and it’s pure magic like Paul ...

Picture Credit: Paraline   Paraline - Apocalypse Now Release Date: September 11, 2021 Length: 04:04 Genre: Alternative Rock / Industrial Origin: Moscow , Russia What would you when the nuclear clock is ticking towards the final big bang? When it's not two minutes to Midnight, but two minutes to doom? When all that we know and love is about to be over forever? Would you pray and repent, would you pack as much joy into the last two minutes as you can, or would do anything to prevent this human-made collapse of all life? Moscow's Paraline describe the latter version in their latest single 'Apocalypse now' - a narrative about humankind trying to change tack last second. The single will be featured on the upcoming album "Sound Weapon". Paraline's sound on 'Apocalypse Now' really is apocalyptic. The atmospheric synth sounds create a cold and tense mood. On top of this Industrial layer, the Russian band adds gloomy and melancholic Alternative Rock themes...

Picture Credit: One And A Half Dog   One And A Half Dog - Shine Release Date: August 13, 2021 Length: 05:06 Genre: Alternative Rock / Alternative Metal Origin: Trondheim , Norway The band name One And Half Dog has nothing to do with dissection of pets and animals, neither is it to be linked to an American TV series about two misogynists and a teenager. Instead, OAAHD are a five-piece band from Norwegian town Trondheim, consisting of adult musicians who planned to record one last vinyl LP before finally enjoying their retirement. One day, Dag Aure  (vocals), Morten Stene Jensen  (guitar), Lars Nielsen  (guitar),  Pål Robert Akseth (bass), and Inge Lerstad  (drums) talked about how much time they wanted to invest in recording that final album. The answer was fifteen years, which is around as much as the life of one and a half dog. The quintet's latest release was the single 'Shine', a five-minute dark and atmospheric Alternative Rock anthem with a strong TOO...
