Thy Art Is Murder - Hate
|
I have listened to way too many albums and have also seen the cream of the crop in today's ever so changing core scene. So, while I am not a die-hard fan of the genre I do enjoy the occasional madness it brings.
After their 2010 debut album The Adversary just got so-so reviews I was wondering how their newest effort would hold up. Well, to be honest Hate isn't better or worse - just different. Yeah right, just how does one death-core album differ from the other?
Ok, different. While The Adversary was a great attempt, it lacked some diversity and seemed to just be one constant noise; technical and fast as hell, but with no clear direction. Prime example would be the drumming which was just ungodly fast on their debut. Are there still tons of blast beats and triggered as hell? Yes, that's part of the appeal. But Lee Stanton toned this down nicely on their new album and it actually sounds a lot better. I guess lesson learned - don't be fast for the sake of being fast, make it count as well.

Tsar Bomba - Silent Queen
|
Coughing up bloody chunks of lung as dust particles slice my eyes in blinding pain under the blacked out sun I seek shelter from psychotic biker gangs. This post-apocalyptic barren wasteland is the result of someone letting Tsar Bomba loose on the world. Some say that Tsar Bomba was a nickname for the Russian hydrogen bomb, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Other claim it is a metal band from France. All I know is that nothing clean and holy survived.

Spiritual Beggars
|
Spiritual Beggars are not only releasing a new album this year, but are also celebrating their 20th Anniversary as a band. I had the opportunity to talk with bassist Sharlee D'Angelo about their new album Earth Blues, and threw in a couple of questions about his other two bands (Arch Enemy, Witchery) as well.
After the usual pleasantries of "Hi, how are you?" Sharlee's response was something in Swedish (or Norwegian?). Not surprising, since by the sheer nature of my real full name a lot of Scandinavian folks believe I do speak their native tongue. After explaining, laughing and him saying "well, I thought I would give it a try", we established that I don't speak a lick of Swedish and Sharlee's German is limited to the usual tour-talk of "Zehn Bier, bitte".
