Latest three track EP by the German act is entitled Diafora, which means “different” in Greek. This fits well - we haven’t heard something like that in a while. What comes to mind when Nocturnal starts playing? Well, it’s the best band in the whole fucking world which is of course The Alkaline Trio. Jokes aside, Buridan's Bridge manages to connect all the best value points of dramatic punk (thanks to cello and choirs), emo and alt rock, covering the territories conque...

More important, the small town in Monmouth County is home to Gristmill, a band that creates a remorselessly heavy sound. It is therefore no understatement that Gristmill have named their debut album "Heavy Everything". So if you love your Rock heavy, your Metal heavy, if you love to smoke heavily and to party heavily, I heavily recommend you to turn up the volume now.

Picture Credit: Swarm of Spheres   Swarm of Spheres - Brother, Take Five Release Date: October 15, 2021 Label: No Why Records Format: Vinyl / Digital Length: 23:07 Genre: Sludge / Stoner Rock Origin: Ottawa , Ontario , Canada By only looking at the cover artwork and the title, one might assume that "Brother, Take Five" could be a Blues or Jazz EP (or at least, I did). But you know what they say about the books and judging them by their covers. Swarm of Spheres actually are pretty far away from Blues and Jazz music-wise. Their latest EP was recorded at Boxcar Sound Recording in June 2019, and it contains six tracks that present that darkest side of fuzz-driven sounds. "Brother, Take Five" is a sonic confrontation with PTSD, anxiety, and rage. This EP can be mentioned alongside brutal releases such as Dystopia's "Human = Garbage" or Eyehategod's "Taken as needed for Pain". Swarm of Spheres create a sound that feels like wandering through ...

Together with Sören Müller  (bass, backing vocals) he wrote the first songs that have later become the tracks of "Sunbound". The band line-up was then completed as Eduardo Mota  (drums, percussions) and Scott McLean  (keys) joined. As a guest musician, Jeremias Novanhana  plays the trombone on the opening track 'El Quinto Sol'.

The sparsely populated and cold region has not appeared on my musical atlas until today, thus I am glad to introduce you to Adam Young  (drums), Cameron Legge  (guitar), and Ben Chapman-Smith  (guitar, bass, vocals), as well as their guest musicians Al Yeti Bones  and Gordon McCready  who helped to make the selftitled debut album what it is. The seven-track album is a powerful self-representation of the Canadian band formed in 2018. On 45 minutes Slowpoke provide us with a heavy "Here we are now, deal with it". The music can predominantly be categorized under the term Stoner Punk. Digging deeper, you could call it a non-compromise ...
