I think of metal and its various forms only peripherally, as some other tribe's music, acknowledged as valid yet neither understood nor experienced from the outside. But because metal rose in the sixties and seventies, a warped response to blues rock and the psychedelics that raised intensity to a level previously unheard, I have always known it; its culture is largely unchanged in nature, focusing on a core fashion and the shared experience of the live event, even as it attracts new generations. And, as within our ever-popular 2009 exploration of Punk through coverage , though [...]

Here again is a short round-up of some of the better new releases we've come across recently. Once again, they all deserve more in the way of a narrative, but time can be a hard taskmaster on occasion. First up is the rather strangely named EP's Trailer Park and their strangely compelling folk song tribute to Mario Vargas Llosa - this year's Nobel Laureate in Literature.

I spent a good deal of time online yesterday reading heartfelt tributes to Ronnie James Dio , a man who was not only incredibly talented and blessed with a long career, but also much loved by everyone he came in contact with. The overwhelming consensus is that the man was one-of-a-kind, humble and friendly to everyone and well-worthy of his iconic status. I only saw him perform once (on the "Angry machines" tour circa '97 IIRC), but it made me a fan for life. I went in with absolutely no expectations and he put on the kind [...]
EP's Trailerpark was formed already in 1999 by Eric Palmqvist. With former members like Magnus Tingsek , Björn Yttling et. al, they have a history of some releases, but nothing during the last five years. Up until now, as they released the five-track EP "Black Heart" in the end of October. And it is a comeback that definitely makes me wish for more. It's music with country vibes, maybe in the direction of folk rock, which every now and then takes me to the domains of Neil Young and CSN&Y . [...]

"Being multi-instrumentalists and pop enthusiasts Lee and Willbee decided to hide away with their instruments and record songs that had thematic and melodic integrity but sounded sweet like candy. A tonic for troubled souls who are not afraid of a catchy melody". Absorbing vocals, sometimes effortless, give this digital release a reassuring shoulder. Progressive storytelling splashed with cool ambient sound-bites, Lee and Willbee are hosts of hushed indie and worthy sentiments. Indeed, love is worth it. North Carolina will command positive interest across the huge worldwide network of music [...]
