You’ve GOT to Hear This: “Singularity”

Apr 5, 4:03pm A Music Blog, Yea?

Singularity— Northlane Northlane was a band recommend to me by a friend, who likes hardcore/metal much more than I do. Here I am listening to the latest release by Sydney band Northlane, from whom I have not heard a single note. I'm jumping into this review after weeks of listening to mostly garage rock and classic ballads, so here we go. The album starts with a short minute-and-a-half song titled Genesis , which could barely be described as an introduction. It fires right in, and I already know what this [...]

My 2012: Keshav Dhar

Dec 10, 2012, 8:50am Indiecision

I think it's fair to say that 2012 has been an incredible year for me and Skyharbor .

We released our debut album Blinding White Noise: Chaos And Illusion  (our review here ) worldwide via one of the best record labels in the world, Basick Records. We got a great response from fans and critics [...]

Dordeduh- “Cumpat”

Dec 4, 2012, 10:26am The Needle Drop

Romanian metal outfit Dordeduh combines elements of folk music from their home country with black metal and progressive metal. While the recording is a little rough and muddy, the resulting sound still maintains a lot of beauty. There's a foreign mysticism to Dordeduh's music, which fans of Negură Bunget will most likely latch onto. Definitely something for people who love their black metal with a bit more dynamics.
