If you find something you like on this list, download the complimentary MP3 and click the album art, which will take you to the Amazon MP3 page so you can purchase it (some of these albums are $5 or less). 50 // A.A. Bondy – Believers It's about time Bondy takes the full on band direction without tip-toeing around it like the last few albums. Oh wait let me re-word that; his last two where spectacular, but this is a sound that he's been hiding for a while and it's [...]
Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let's Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau '90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let's Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – Empros I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of instrumental rock — particularly metal. After all, it usually involves more noodling than a Pauls [...]
You guys, I can't do this anymore. I can't give you descriptions of all these albums and post 30 or 40 MP3s along the way. It just takes too much time and effort. I'll try to make this a little bit more than just a list, because I want it to look a tiny bit [...]
Gli ultimi giorni dell'anno sono giorni di classifiche. Questi sono gli album che ho ascoltato di più, sono parecchi perché quando ci son da fare delle scelte non riesco mai a decidermi. Non c'è un ordine, ho aperto la cartella della musica scaricata quest'anno e ho copiato e incollato i nomi dei dischi che son stati la colonna sonora del mio 2011, tutto qui. Come al solito puntando la copertina vengono fuori nome del gruppo, titolo dell'album e cliccandoci sopra si arriva a qualcosa da ascoltare. Divertitevi. [...]
Oh hi, guys. I didn't hear you come in. Thanks for stopping by. So…I drank a lot last night. Like, A LOT a lot. And oh boy did I ever make an ass out of myself. It's almost as if when I drink now I convince myself that I'm creating a social performance art piece [...]
The list's mid-point. There's plenty of great material here, from rookie breakthroughs NewVillager to arena-ready acts like The Black Keys and Fleet Foxes. Take a look
We're only mere weeks away from the official start of winter, so don't forget to party while you still can. We're talking about some great shows including The Cell Phone s at The Hideout, Russian Circles at Lincoln Hall and Missing Monuments at the Empty Bottle. Let's rock and roll, hoochie koo . FRIDAY THE CELL PHONES It's hard to believe that the [...]
The Clouds Are Ghosts From: Austin, Texas, United States Austin four piece The Clouds Are Ghosts took some time out to chat to the Devil about their musical mystique, their love of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and why they made their music free. The Devil : Why The Cloud Are Ghosts? The Clouds Are Ghosts : There's a certain mystique to our [...]
First off, I feel obligated to preface this "Best of" list by admitting that this posting will in no way bolster my metal cred. If I presented this list to any of my metal friends, I would probably be laughed out of the room. I would prefer to consider this list as more of a layperson's guide to metal, a pair of floaties for those of you willing to get your toes wet in the vast, primordial ocean of metal. That being said, it's been a good year for metal. This year saw major releases from some of [...]
This month on YUNR, Anthony gives explanations as to why he's let new releases from Coldplay, Florence + the Machine, Noel Gallagher, Russian Circles, and the Beach Boys pass him by. Here's some short explanations of other albums worth checking out as well: Thee Oh Sees- Carrion Crawler / The Dream (In the Red) I've gotten quite a few requests for this one, and I can understand why. This album is noticeably better than the album the Oh Sees put out earlier this year. No doubt. The production on this album is [...]
RUSSIAN CIRCLES, HELMS ALEE, DEAFHEAVEN ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) See our article on Russian Circles. YOUR RIVAL, DEATH SONGS, AND AND AND ( Slim's , 8635 N Lombard) The inaugural Underbelly Bender stretches from now 'til New Year's, with seven ripping good rock shows at dive bars scattered throughout town. It kicks off tonight in St. Johns with a trio of great local acts: [...]
As of late, I have been revisiting my love affair with the sublime tunage of St. Louis' Riddle of Steel (RIP). This power trio wrote fantastic, inspirational, feel-good yet edgy songs that each told their own unique melodic story, and it's continually a pleasure to re-spin both of the two albums I have of theirs. [...]
It was a week of polar opposites: on one hand, butt rock ruled as Disturbed nabbed the #1 spot on the Current Hard Music charts with Five Finger Death Punch and Evanescence firmly entrenched in second and third place. On the other hand Animals as Leaders scored a big debut, a big victory in the [...]
Toronto - "Hi, we're the openers." This was the rather unassuming introduction given by Daniel Brandon Allen, singer/guitarist for Indian Handcrafts , who were indeed the openers for this show. Their music, however, is anything but unassuming. It could best be described as down and dirty stoner rock. With their thick, driving riffs and vocals half shouted and half sung, they join a long line of hard hitting duos that make a lot of racket - Lullabye Arkestra , Lightning Bolt, Japandroids , godheadSilo - and prove that less can often sound [...]
TONIGHT'S BEST BET: Russian Circles w/ Deaf Heaven, ODIST The Earl - 488 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Doors at 8:30pm / Admission $15 / Purchase Tickets For some inexplicable reason I have yet to explore Empros , the latest offering from post-metal kings, Russian Circles . But everything I've read about the album indicates that it rivals, and may even surpass, its extraordinary predecessor, Geneva . I'll believe that when I hear it. Still, even if Empros [...]

![[Review] Russian Circles: "Empros" (7.0)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3844038_lg.jpg)
La verdad?, no sabia con que album comenzar esta semana ya que parece que todos los lanzamientos interesantes en esta ultima parte del año se han terminado y digo, los que en su mayoria han resultado bastante atractivos son los EP's que muchas bandas han decidido lanzar y de los cuales en su mayoria les he estado hablando demasiado cuando ha llegado el momento de compartirles algun nuevo track de el o simplemente les traigo el stream completo pero, que hay de los albums de larga duracion?, a donde se han ido?, francamente no lo se y con esto tampoco [...]
A great metal track feels like a punch in the gut. The bass, drums and guitar hit you like a tsunami and you get caught in the undertow, leaving you battered and bruised, but ready for more. Whether you're listening to speed metal, post-metal, or any other subgenre, you come to expect this visceral reaction. Sadly, the fourth album from instrumental post-metal trio Russian Circles , Empros , fails to meet these expectations. Obviously there are moments of crunching, feedback-heavy catharsis to be had in this album – the powerhouse opener " [...]
