Ouisa Hound : Gloom Roaming My body feels as if it's caving in today. After months of working and never really putting anything on hold, I'm out of survival mode, diving head-first into the lurgy. A particularly grotty cold however can't prevent ' Gloom Roaming ', my first impression of Ohio's Ouisa Hound , from exposing itself as the startling work that it is. Sky-reaching vocal samples give it a euphoric pulse, but the bone structure holding it all up rests with the overlapping layers of guitar-work, colliding [...]
There are dozens of factors that go into creating a "great" record, and I try to consider them all while listening to music of any sub-genre, in any time period, from any geographical location (3 important elements that play a roll in critiquing music as far as I'm concerned). It's easy to simply write something ...
Textures are masters of the slow build. If you'd never heard Textures before and "Consonant Hemispheres" was your first exposure to the band, I wouldn't blame you for thinking these dudes are a bunch of softees based on the first minute of the song. But then things pick up a little... and then a little more... [...]

The more times I play this song, the warmer I feel inside. This is an absolute joy to watch. It genuinely makes watching 4 videos at once seem obvious not strenuous, as each part bursts into the song, each video element slips into focus, it's seamless. It really, really works. [youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-YdgxhmrvqM[/youtube] This is a top notch piece. It is damn near impossible to translate all of the lyrics but it's so soothing and rhy... Read more..

. . . Djent seems to be the most misunderstood subgenre of metal these days. It sort of stumbled out of a lab, stitched together from bits of metalcore, progressive metal, and Meshuggah. It was hideous to behold: totally unnatural, a vile gestalt, and would have done Dr. Frankenstein's infamous monster proud. How did this happen? There is no Dr. Djentenstein who intentionally made the djent-monster. It just sort of happened, collectively, unconsciously, in a thousand widespread basements as young men and women noticed that they had 7- and 8-stringed guitars, pro-tools, and all the right musical components.

It doesn't happen very often these days, but we do like it when something new comes our way that is wrapped in a cloak of mystery. We hardly know anything about Texture Like Sun other than the fact that this, the first single from their impending debut LP, pretty much stopped us in our tracks on the very first listen. Oh and we know it's a solo project rather than a band, but that's about it. We're expecting to hear more about his first release next month so keep your eyes peeled, but for now you'll [...]
