Here's my top 10 list. Whee. Comment, praise, bitch, moan, do yo thang in the comments section. Now, onto to 2010.10~ TombsWinter Hours [Amazon](Relapse)A compelling metal record about city life - well, Ludicra's don't come out till next year, so this is it. Winter Hours, Tombs' debut full-length, shows growth by leaps and bounds from their self-titled EP. Mike Hill and his un-merry men distill

Bands that exude joy are rare. Even if music is supposed to be "joyful," all too often its execution isn't. Technical difficulties plague shows; personal differences get in the way of music. These small details can turn hot gigs into merely warm ones. Thus, Stinking Lizaveta completely surprised me at New York's Cake Shop last Saturday. This instrumental trio's music isn't particularly upbeat. Sacrifice and Bliss ( At a Loss , 2009), their latest full-length, is actually somewhat dark. Its tart abstraction suggests a drier Dysrhythmia (whose [...]

Since joining Twitter last week (follow us!) my brain has been systematically reprogrammed to process information only in pieces of 140 characters or less. After the jump, quickie haiku-like reviews of all the new music that's arrived at the doorstep of the MS Mansion in succinct, Tweet form, plus MP3s! New releases from Mongoloid Village, [...]

mal wieder ein label in den fokus genommen. monotreme records . darauf gekommen bin ich, als ich nach den wurzeln barzins suchte. neben dessen output drang eine menge mehr spannendes an mein ohr. dabei ist der allgemeine auswurf des labels nicht als solcher zu fassen, zu unterschiedlich das gewerk. von düsterem metall mit lower forty-eight oder stinking lizaveta bis hin zu esoterik und blumigem gesang mit vogelbacher und okie rosette. auslese muss sein, aber das habe ich Euch schon abgenommen, hört selbst: band aus toronto mit minimalistischen songstrukturen und [...]

La Monotreme Records ha sostenuto da diversi anni l'eterogenità sonora proponendo gruppi come 65daysofstatic , Okie Rosette e Barzin , confermando ulteriormente il suo eclettismo musicale con l'uscita dell'ultimo album targato Stinking Lizaveta . Il trio navigato di Filadelfia rappresenta una delle migliori realtà dell'avanguardia metallica, un concentrato di passione, sangue e riff muscolari che si snodano lungo paesaggi strumentali lievemente tinti di jazz (ascoltatevi "A Man Without A Country" per farvi un'idea). "Sacrifice and Bliss" porta in tavola sonorità dal ritmo serrato, evoluzioni musicali in continuo divenire e vertiginosi voli ascensionali: deraglianti [...]
Questa settimana la rubrica delle uscite discografiche è quasi priva di nomi italiani: tra 4 giorni parte Sanremo e l'invasione di album nostrani comincerà venerdì prossimo. In compenso ci sono parecchi dischi in arrivo dall'estero a cominciare dall'attesissimo nuovo album di Morrissey che vi abbiamo già sviscerato . Escono poi i nuovi lavori di Andrew Bird e Robyn Hitchcock , un live di Van Morrison e diversi altri nomi interessanti. Di seguito l'elenco delle uscite di oggi. Come sempre se ci fosse sfuggito qualcosa, [...]

16. stinking lizaveta - 'scream of the iron iconoclast' [review published on issue #9 of Rock-A-Rolla magazine] With instrumental rock and metal on the rise like it would have been crazy to think about a decade or so ago, and bands popping out everywhere, each of them trying to out-warp the previous one, it's very refreshing that there are three guys from Philadelphia keeping it pretty simple, with mammoth riffs shot out one after another, super tight, pounding rhythm section and squealing fuzzy solos are the norm here. Within this [...]
