2009-11-07T12:50:00.000+08:00

At the moment I have not so much time so I'll make it short! Mascarade is the 8th album released by MR and dude here's a solid album with a good production! all the songs are good and creative, and the tone is pretty neat as well ...with cool vox!

A Backward Glance On A Travel Road - A Backward Glance On A Travel Road

2009-09-17T12:31:00.005+08:00

Here is a French band which is rather interesting..the music is somewhat atmospheric and a bit melancholic, but the ambiances are really enjoyable! We are miles away from BDM or BM as what they play is rather quiet...acoustic guitars, soft, lyrical, operatic vox, synth...a kind of medieval feel as well... let's pack up and let them carry us away on that forlorn road of theirs...until, as we give a glance backward, only a few of our faint and vanishing footsteps linger on the dusty path, waiting to be withered away into nothingness.

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious [2009]

2009-09-17T12:31:00.003+08:00

here is another band that we came across a while ago...well they didn't recover much of their sanity since their last release and are still pretty f**ked up in the head! ah ah =D but here as you know it already, it's for the best, as their music gather about everything together in an explosive bundle of contrastive influences...at the moment Diablo swing Orchestra still remains a one of the kind band ..a bit like Nuclear Rabbit a few years ago...who has since then spawned a few followers,... only a few cause the diversity of style encompassed requires a certain proficiency that is not so common down here..DSO might bring about the same outcome! wait and see...meanwhile enjoy their unbridled performance! \m/

Junius - The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist

2009-09-17T12:31:00.002+08:00

Junius is band i already played, but this time they have released a full album =) the music is still in the same vein...which is great as those guys are brilliant! their style is a crossbreed between rock, metal, and postrock with a somewhat 80's feel to it...so there is plenty to get for everybody! if you like my previous plays about them you'll enjoy that one as well for sure! don't be shy, help yourself! =D

Let's begin the day with some BDM to wake our sleepy heads up! Vomepotro comes for Brazil and they'll kick ..or even trample actually.. your shiny @$$ pretty bad! the music is of course rather brutal and agressive, but these guys are definitely great masters...depsite the thick and distorted sound they have, everything remains clear and there's no instrument overlapping on any other and messing all up! ....a great brutal album by great musicians! enjoy!

As winter is finally on it's way to China, let's move to Spain to bag some extra rays and riffs! ^^ This band walks a fine line between metal and more atmospheric stuff like post rock...the melodies they use might remind you a bit of Septic Flesh at times or even A Perfect Circle or even Te...just to give you an idea...a pretty interesting band with cool songs (most of which are instrumental)! hope you enjoy! \m/

2009-09-14T17:32:00.002+08:00

We are now in Italy with a bunch of crazy guys! Taras Bul`ba is not that famous and yet they should be! I don't know how to describe their music but maybe saying that it is always on the move might give a inkling of what it's like... my fav tracks ...Khiber Pass...and Providence...check 'em out!

Wrath of Despot - Black Tomb

2009-09-14T17:32:00.001+08:00

Here we go with a band from Beijing =) they play a sort of melodical and yet quite aggressive form of black metal with interesting passages for headbanging and also a bit of speed metal..., if all this isnt enough to turn this band into an outstanding outsider, it is enough make it an enjoyable performer of the Black Art. This is just an EP, but the production is good and also it's interesting to see how black metal develops and thrives on the mainland...a rather unfavourable land IMHO...Chinese BM has its own flavour and I quite like it, as it's indulging in heavy metal rather than in a so called shitsound supposed to create an eerie atmosphere ...though sometimes this works as well! lol

Wrath of Despot - Black Tomb
Genre:BM
Tracklist:
1. Black Tomb / 黑色的墓地
2. Despicable Life / 卑污的生命

Cankered Corpse Pleasure of Mania

2009-09-14T17:32:00.000+08:00

Chinese metal seems to blossom so maybe we can have a look at some of its most brutal representatives! Cankered Corpse is actually a band i quite enjoy as they somehow remind me of Brutal Truth ...more in spirit than in tone!...I mean, they play DM but they have that punk "momentum"/attitude in their songs which i find very enjoyable! otherwise it boils down to guttural vox (not overdone), low tuned guitars and blast beats...yummie! (track two has a problem..like skipping a wee bit!)

Astra - The Weirding

2009-09-10T13:18:00.005+08:00

This is an American band that will bring you 30 years backward! so what's interesting here for us? well first off, those guys are great songwriters, and proficient musicians...then, they really have a knack for creating melancholic/ethereal spaced out atmospheres..and finally they know how to rock! they don't sing that much and lots of tracks are actually instrumental. Finally i'd say that they are somewhat the counterpart of Pink Floyd in their early days...and would probably be as famous, had they been born a few decades earlier! ^^

Astra - The Weirding

Henker - Henker [EP] (2005)

2009-09-10T13:18:00.002+08:00

Henker plays some extreme hardcore or deathcore as some might call it...they come from france and are pretty violent..maybe the present dwarfish French "king" should be wary! ah ah ^^ the music pace is rather fast and the vox are either growled or guttural..this is just a demo or MCD but those guys are defenitely worth a shot! the guitar work is good (as it often tends to be boring in this genre) and agressive ...all in all a very good start! check it out! \m/

2009-09-10T13:18:00.001+08:00

here we go with a very good thrash band and a solid album! they come from Canada and will cause so much headbanging that your little neck will go *snap*! I know there is the last Megadeth out there ...but if you like thrash then dig that one...hectic rhythm, squealing leads...all songs are great...well i guess you get the picture! \m/

Infester - To the Depths... In Degradation (1994)

2009-09-07T10:24:00.003+08:00

Well many bands claim to play Satanic DM but actually most of them are just laughable failures with shit songwriting and a shit sound...however, once and a while the left hand path allows one of those bunches of pretenders to be successful! Infester was the name chosen to destroy the armies of the light and their feable waning spirit! the guitar sound is really thick (as the overall sound is actually!) the atmosphere is really dark and the vox utterly guttural with the occasional burzum-esque scream here and there .. all this done in a properly and timely fashion of course...a true celebration, like a black mass creeping up the unfathomable pits of hell to ravish unspoiled and tender eardrums!! ^^

Infester - To the Depths... In Degradation (1994)
Genre: DM (Satanic)
Tracklist:
1. To the Depths (In Degradation)

7. Clouding of Consciousness
8. Excoriation Killz the Bliss
9. Mephetic Exhumation
10. Outro

Infester - To the Depths... In Degradation

Have a look at the lyrics they are definitely twisted and violent! ^^

A Viscidy Slippery Secretion

A devious affliction of pain...
Mutilated beyond belief, no hope for resurrection.
There shall be no polluting of blood, our enemies are low animals.
Program to burn their offspring,
Lapadation to turn them away
... When the cross begins to burn,
Remove the cerecloth...
Reveal to all the soulless carcass,
His body was his cage.
Scraping off the rancid crust... Mortalized face and skin,
That which will never fucking die.

Cold sweat and fear sets in...
This scalpel that I grasp in fear,
Acidic compounds injested by mouth...
Self infliction is my intention.

Punish Yourself - Feuer Tanz System (1998)

2009-09-07T10:24:00.002+08:00

Here we go into the world of digital aggression! Punish Yourself comes from the south of France, Toulouse, also known as the Pink City because of it's red walls! I met those guys in pubs as their guitar player was producing the album of my friends, ...a pretty cool and funny bunch of guys indeed, almost as crazy as their music! to make it short Punish Yourself is all about depravity, SM & Bondage, Pornography,Drugs and Cyberpunk culture...well at least now you have an inkling of the kind of hobbies they might be indulging in! ah ah On stage their have fluorescent zombie outfit and are on the rampage... a looney crossbreed between Ministry and KMFDM... enjoy and of course ....wallow in filth! ^^

Аясын Салхи - Coffin Town Under The Moon 2008

2009-09-07T10:23:00.000+08:00

Let me bring you to ... Mongolia!! The other day I was watching a movie from that country (pretty cool one entitled Mongol, about the Genghis Khan)...but it would never have occured to me that in this untouched and pristine countryside a DM combo was to be found! Аясын Салхи plays an old style of DM in the line of Krabathor for intance or maybe The Crown / Crown of Thorns...pretty technical with awesome riffage! I don't know if Mongolia has other DM band but this one is well worth a shot believe me! \m/

Manyfingers - Our Worn Shadow 2006

2009-09-03T10:09:00.003+08:00

Manyfingers, despite the name is actually a one man band by Chris Cole. I think this guy has an interesting approach to music, he plays every instruments of course but what chiefly drew my attention is not that, it's the way he adds them on top of each other, so many layers of sound! actually i dont know how he does it to keep the overall sound so loose and tight at the same time! of course the obvious drawback to this approach is that by using loops one cannot develop or maybe unfold his ideas thouroughly, unless you use very long loops of course! ^^...but that's also to make do with the limits imposed by a framework ..and i think he handles it pretty well whatsoever! enjoy!

Vuvr - Pilgrimage (2001)

2009-09-02T08:58:00.000+08:00

Welcome to the Czech Republic! not so often that we go there! as you know nowadays metal including jazz/fusion is "quite" common...but here you have to look at this album the other way around...it's jazz including metal...which is far less common, especially when the kind of metal we're dealing with is DM! what's the difference you might wonder? ^^ the difference is that even though it can be really heavy and loud, and a mixture of both genre, some songs are just plain jazz, which might seem a little bit out of step to some listeners! anyway, the guitar work is really impressive with incredible ambiances and intricate melodies...well, enough said i leave you here and let those proficient musicians do the talking! =]

This time we leave France to go back to the country of the rising sun! 睡蓮 which is a name of a flower is here a duo making some sort of electronic music...sometimes it makes me think about the soundtrack of FF7 ...though it's not really the same I guess!lol anyway, a very relaxing kind of music, with interesting arrangements and melodies...perhaps a bit like Every Little Thing at times but with more traditional influences and ambiances, and also a more Trip-Hop kind of sound....check'em out!

2009-09-01T09:06:00.001+08:00

Here we go with 2 guys from France who like to indulge in experiemental music...overall it's like free jazz i would say but it can be quite agressive and violent ...and psychedelic! =) If you remember Cheval de Frise, then it's in the same line, though they use more instruments ...like a saxophone ...and they also have a brass section or some stuff sounding somewhat like that! ^^...also a bit like Microfilm, if you know that one, they have some ambiances with samples at times...well to make a long story short lotta things in it...i let you dig that one by yourself, don't get lost! \m/

Blackshine - Lifeblood (2006)

2009-08-31T08:52:00.001+08:00

Here's a cool album mixing rock and heavy metal, as it is now somewhat a trend in the music industry, with all that Death'n'roll and Black'n'roll...the band is from sweden and they released an album that is actually quite original, the band drew many of its various influences (punk, heavy rock, death, gothic..) into its music and in the end they manged to create something quite enjoyable, i couldnt find a song i really disliked =) the guitar is great and the vox as well, there are many breaks and change of ambiances...well, give it a try you might like it...and I think they deserve it!

Fono - Too Broken to break

2009-08-31T08:51:00.001+08:00

Fono has a strange story...first they were promised to a great future as at the very beginning they played the opening for Bon Jovi...rather a good start indeed..but after that some legal issues prevented them to record any album for several years and when then were evetually granted the right to record something again ..well...the studio was burned down to the ground! ^^ some might have just given up thinking they are cursed by the god of music!...well here they are at last...with an album...influenced by bands like Foo fighters and U2...cool Punk'n'R! hope you enjoy!

Bitch Alert - Pay for Orgasm

2009-08-31T08:50:00.001+08:00

This is a girls band from Findland. I don't think they are very famous but anyway they are highly entertaining!.. This is their first album and as often the one with the weakest production..though it's not that bad! They play some kind of angry (sometimes sweet) punk rock ...a bit like L7 to a certain extent ..though i'm not much a fan of L7...i much prefer Bitch Alert... Nothing really technical in this album, it more about the energy and in-your-faceness if i may say so! so put your helmet on and have a go, we're on alert!

2009-08-31T08:49:00.000+08:00

This great guitarist comes from Rio de Janeiro and this album has been composed and produced...and whatever...all by himself! Honestly this guy is really really good and i love his style! though he plays mainly hard rock / heavy metal, he goes thru a sh%tload of style...whether it is funk, fusion, jazz, ballads..it's easy to see he has loads of influences perspiring through his playing...a brilliant release that i highly recommend! don't miss it! \m/

I don't know if you remember but i already played that band a while ago, the album was called No Alternative...this one here is the first they released, pretty heavy mixing korn like rhythm with outburst of violence, weird noises and vox, and soft melodies...to make it short a great release by unhinged musicians...too bad this band split up in 2006 it was a brilliant one! enjoy the power of Visual Kei!

The No-Mads - The Age Of Demise (2009)

2009-08-31T08:48:00.001+08:00

This is the last album by this Polish band formed in 1999. I dont know why but it's like a constant... Poland produces technical and very heavy metal bands! maybe they have a hidden factory somewhere where they can brew talented and proficient musicians from test tubes! ah ah! whatever, an excellent album of heavy thrash with everything that it entails...chuggy and speedy rhythms, freaking leads and powerful coarse vocals! enjoy! \m/

Vakarm - World of Chaos

Vakarm (which means vacarme = a racket/smth. extremely noisy)is a French BDM band from Amiens, Picardie (Northern part of France). They are pretty technical and despite the agressivity of their music they still retain a sense of melody...actually I think they have pretty good ideas ...but that's just MHO of course! ^^ they split up 2 years ago so you won't hear of them anymore whatsover...hope you enjoy that album, I think it's a cool one! =)

Andreas Kisser - Hubris I & II (2009)

2009-08-31T08:45:00.000+08:00

I guess there's no need to present the lead guitarist of Sepultura...Here's is first solo album and a rather good one IMHO....you'll feel a certain sense of familiarity with the melodies at some point...well it's Andreas Kisser playing! 2 CD with a brazilian feel and of course a metal/rock one...actually these 2 CDs (electric and acoustic) are pretty ecclectic (ethnic, "ambiant" metal, stoner, heavy metal, bossa-nova, oriental music, classical..and so forth!)...one thing that struck me are the reviews about this album...overall they are far from welcoming! ^^ I can understand a bit as this album is, just like Kisser and his leads in Sepultura, pretty experimental (lots of whammy bar and sqealing sounds!), which means that you'll need several listenings and an open-mind to get into it... so I leave it up to you to give this one its chance or not... I'm glad I did! \m/

Welcome to Brittany (Bretagne), a region in the northwest part of France, Gurkkhas will take you a ride! don't worry there'sll be plenty of beer! ^^ This band was formed in 1999 and despite their talent they are not that famous! Playing DM is not an easy job we all know that! With all the copycats and talentless bands out one can easily get drowned... but you'll see Gurkkhas is far from being uninteresting ...honestly I think they achieved an almost "perfect" album, the vox are great without being overdone, the drumming is frantic and bang on time, bass and guitars will go through your ears and bones like a hacksaw through butter! one might argue that this album could be improve here and there...maybe...but if all albums were of that quality DM would rule the world! ah ah ! \m/

This is the first full length released of this band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in 2004 and are still unsigned,.. this album was self-released for that matter...I don't know if it's a choice of their own or a consequence of the stupidy of our modern music industry... whatsoever, they re pretty good and I think they deserve some attention from real music freaks! word of mouth is the only way to survive underground! ^^ here we go chuggy rhythms, highly technical and melodical leads, brillinat songwriting ... the songs are consequently never boring...be prepared for an uncontrollable surge of serious headbanging! \m/

Phazm - Cornerstone of the Macabre

2009-08-31T08:41:00.000+08:00

I remember once when I heard that some guys from Dimmu Borgir were creating a new band to play big ballsy R'N'R, I thought it was a really cool idea..but when the album came out, even though it not bad, it was not exactly what i expected! so here we are again with the guys from Yrkoon and Scarve (2 French bands) doing exactly the same! great minds think alike as the saying goes! ah ah! but this time the outcome is actually quite different and much closer to what i expected in the first place! like a super Motorheard! only remember...this band's just for fun! ^^

2009-08-31T08:40:00.003+08:00

Mithras is a DM band like no other and I must say even though i dont listen to them that much they are one of my all time fav band! first the guitar work is ...well...i dunno...from another planet!lol it's heavy like Morbid Angel but also psychedelic with soundscapes beyond your imagination...like craftmen of old and forgotten times, these lads are blessed with creativity and imagination...they clearly see beyond but i'm not sure they behold madness...maybe it's rather some kind of unknow beauty! \m/

2009-08-31T08:39:00.001+08:00

here we are in the green pastures of England, with Biomechanical who formed in 2001, 8 years already! they play metal but it is somewhat a progressive form of it...not so easy to define, a bit like Pantera but more complex, intricate and symphonic...I let you decided what to call it! ^^ what i like best is the rapid changes of ambiances,.. pretty catchy ...and though this album is rather short overall you'll need a while to really dig it! so turn it loud and... take it easy! \m/

My third attempt at this play as either the proxy or Adrive seem to have good fun at blocking/crashing my browser ...hope it works this time! ^^ this is an old band playing thrash metal in the vein of Slayer and Metalica in their early period. The production might sound a bit old as it been produced a while ago but the riffs are still pretty good and catchy...and also i like the screamed vox! so if you've never come across that band before check it out I think it's worth it! \m/

This is the first album of that band and .... what a beginning! I listened to a lot of DM in my life and that one will stand on the top shelf straightaway as it is really good! this band covers so much ground with its music that it's definitely a pleasure to listen to the songs...none of which will bore you or bring about a feeling of deja-vu!

Fatal - Barbarism 2007

2009-08-31T08:34:00.000+08:00

...and the crows eventually flew away as stepping on crushed bones and broken skull strewn upon the ground, the mighty warriors braced themselves awaiting the forthcoming battle! =D That could be the first feeling you have when you listen to the opening track of that album! and it matches exactly the one inside of me as i listen to it and write those lines! ^^
Fatal is a French DM band playing technical chuggy rhythms to which they add melodic leads (even jazzy sometimes). Overall they play a conventional (though complex and intricate)type of DM but they have that little thing which makes their songs different and catchy...hope you like it!

Zuriaake - 瘏ン / Afterimage of Autumn

2008-10-22T14:28:00.006+08:00

Welcome back, i have some free time at the moment, so i thought it would be wise to take advantage of it and play some new stuffs! so off we go, with Zuriaake which comes from China and more precisely, Taiwan! =D and where to start...well if you think BM is just going in circle, just listen to them, they'll be like a gust of fresh wind blowing in your face..and perhaps even blowing you away!^^ the sound is pretty tight and the production is good, without losing the raw side of things...the drumming is really interesting in my opinion, as it's far away from that speedy punk rhythm that is too often heard ...well i dont want to describe that album too much... but if you like cold/crude black metal, in the line of Burzum/ Satanic Warmaster, but with some pastoral ambiances like in Arkanum and catchy epic atmospheres in the vein of Nokturnal Mortum...lend an ear to that one...it might get chopped and hopefully it'll be minced and diced! ah ah! Taiwan's power grabbed me by the balls once more! \m/

2008-10-21T10:47:00.004+08:00

If you like metal...well that one is definitely needed in your collection. No need to introduce Dave Grohl i guess..who doens't know Nirvana or Foo Fighters?... well, on that one he managed the incredible feat to gather most of the major Metal figures from the late 80's/ early 90's together! obviously by doing so, you get a rather ecclectic outcome and in the end it sounds a bit like a compilation, which it actually is IMHO! However, i really like the result and the personality of each of the songs which really squares with what one would expect the guest to play/sing. Hope you enjoy! \m/

Some of you may like it raw, some may not...some may even fancy a cup of gore but with a different kind of taste....Well if you wonder what might be the future of BM, then Nachtmystium is likely to lay a few conspicious clues on the table for you! as you follow their footprints, along your way up the mountain!, you'll certainly pick up different elements idosyncratic (ouuuuhh!!) of the BM style ...and if you're lucky enough to mix them up in the correct way..cause there's no chemistry for dummies manual in that case i'm afraid!, then the outcome might be somewhat similar to the inner alchemy manisfesting itself from the catchy compound Nachtmystium created! psyched-out atmospheres entwined with sharp and cold riffing to which, like by the brush of an impressionist, a smidgen of epic dimension as been added...all this seems rather enticing uh?...well it is! ^^ so check that one out it's bloody...or bleedin' awesome! ...another couple of bottles for table 666! =P

Gargoyle - March of the Heroes (2006)

i'm just back from the south of china where i spent some time in the mountains, but back for a very short while, as i leave again tomorrow morning! so here's a quick play with an awesome band that most of you probably already know... or perhaps it didn't reach south africa or taiwan yet but i very doubt it! ah ah! music-wise it's some war like epic thrash, or perhaps we can call that black-death asskicking oriental-o-frantic! .. whatever, who gives a shit anyway! ^^ it's quite melodic/symphonic, but rather powerful and heavy... sometimes it reminds me of Samael (in their "passage album" period), especially because of the vox but it has a bit more gothic overtones overall... the thing is that i just love all the songs in that album which does not happen that often, so i guess it really qualifies as a brilliant one! hope you dig it, cuz they rox! \m/

Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - Batman Begins

2008-06-23T19:58:00.002+08:00

Despite the fact that this is another OST, i rarely listen to that kind of thing... but this one is quite good IMHO. I like that band called Elend a lot and i played a few of their album before....but with this OST, i have to say that Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard have really managed to craft the same dark oppressive atmosphere. No guitar, no vocals so to speak (though you'll hear a few ethereal voices once and a while), just powerful and enthralling classical music... Hope you enjoy.

A very cool OST in my opinion is the one from fear and loathing in las vegas, lots of good rock bands and an excellent selection of classic rock songs or even anthem some might say! nothing violent here we're back in the 60's/70's, everything is rainbow coloured and smells like the flowers of peace (whatever that means! ^^)... so empty your pockets, take your blotters out and creep up the bandwagon of panic and frenzy....but be quick, there're sparks all around! .... i guess the head of the white rabbit is about to explode! see you on the obscure road to cloud nine! ah ah! \m/

Raxinasky - Transport de viandes (2005)

2008-06-20T16:11:00.001+08:00

This is a band from belgium, and they are completely fucked up ... so it's not for everybody! if you don't like experimental and weird stuff don't get that one or you'll be really disappointed cause there is nothing consistent to say the least! ah ah but if you enjoy stuff like THE FLYING LUTTENBACHERS you might like that one... though it is about 10 times weirder! the music is quite heavy but they also use lots of noises... in the end this droning, chaotic and utterly disharmonic soundscape is downright unclassifiable.... the drumming is quite crazy and frantic and at times you really wonder what's going on.. as if you were about to get fucked up in the head as well! ^^ a few screams and growling here and there but overall it is instrumental music.... they also have atmospheric part... well to cut it short, i think the best description so to speak is like a grind version of Cheval de frise! what a frightening perspective indeed! \m/

The Sounds - Dying To Say This To You

2008-06-20T14:56:00.002+08:00

Let's chill out for some time with that nice pop band! completely mainstream, the music is not spectacular or exceptional but it is definitely good and entertaining! most of the songs are mid tempo with hooking and catchy melodies.... i think i like that album because the bass is very present, which gives it a strong disco flavor ... and the singer also has this peculiar accent from northern europe ( a bit like Bjork) that makes them sound quite exotic to my ears! enjoy!

At the moment i cannot access blogspot again.... same problem that i had at the beginning.... so wait and see, i may be back some day \m/

enough violence for now, ルルティア is here to soothe you all away! drop your blood-stained axe and seat down! what is this? uhm... Jpop mainly, sometimes venturing in soft rock but nothing really aggressive, quite the opposite actually! i love this band for one simple reason, the voice of the lead vocalist...so ... ah ah! well so cute! *.* perhaps you won't like it ...but i find the same sweetness in her voice as in my previous play, Mylene Farmer, though they have rather different voice and style. the music i cool and the melodies are quite interesting and subtle... If you dont like it here i give you my fav song... 愛し子よ ...and also this one, the following one actually, which is pretty cool as well ロスト・バタフライ...they are not the most rockin ones ... i let you find those ones! ah ah! enjoy!

Dylath-Leen - Insecure (2005)

2008-05-02T21:26:00.000+08:00

In the line of strange bands, i have a follow up, called DL! they come from France and believe it or not when you listen to their stuff but the singer is actually a girl...with such a sweet voice that she carries me as far away as my beloved poppy girlies! ah ah! but better not get too much on her nerve i guess, unless you want your fat ass wooped bad cause she's pretty tough! ^^ music wise i reckon it is something like Deathcore or NU thrash (if there is such a thing!) but ... i know fuckall about genres so perhaps i'm wrong! anyway, inside the pandora box are chunky melodical guiatr riffs, black/death/(female)clean vox, pounding drum assaults and a blasting bouncy bass .... what else would you ask for!?? let me guess...1000$ and a bl£* joX perhaps!! ah ah \m/

Arkha Sva - Gloria Satanae (2007)

2008-05-02T21:25:00.001+08:00

with this one we're not investigating melody! this band is quite strange actually, but they come from japan so ... it won't be the firt time ah ah! they have a very special way to play BM, the sound is rather raw and "blurred" (because of their use and perhaps abuse of reverb) and yet despite what i said above it is quite melodical in the end! the prod is not great but i'd say it's alright even so! i especially like the vox hovering between grim guttural growlings and screams a la craddle of filth! the first time i listened to that album i was not much convinced of its quality but after a few listening i changed my mind (as i often do! ahah) and now i quite enjoy that one because of its unusual quality and aspect! hope you do as well =)

2008-05-01T20:03:00.000+08:00

it's been a while since i played any indus, so let's fly to mexico for a short while, just the time we enjoy Hocico! as a lover of hardkore tekno (i dont mean the thunderdrome gabber shit!! *spewing up*) and KMFDM, there is everything i like in that album. i have never mixed any metal stuff but i guess this one album would get along well with any hardtek vinyl of mine! as you will see/hear, it's quite dancefloor oriented..and yet pretty heavy(metal) and dark! who would have guessed that mexico had so many hallucinogenic besides mushrooms!

Chokebore - Motionless 1994

2008-04-30T17:05:00.000+08:00

Chokebore is not the kind of band you would listen everyday from morning to night, but that doesn't mean they are not interesting! Music wise it's like rock or what some call grunge...broadly speaking, more or less like Nirvana kindda stuff. The thing is that the mood is quite depressing ...and that's when you'll enjoy this album the most....when you're down and angry at the whole fuckin' world round you for not being kind enough! ^^ so better grab this one... and the next time your mama spanks you for something you've not done, and you feel very very bad, like you want to kick the shit outta something, dont take it out on your toys, just press play and enjoy! ah ah =D

2008-04-28T21:22:00.000+08:00

Aabsinthe, a famous drink that intoxicate and enthrall your spirit...yummmmm, one of my fav! ^^ but here, we are dealing with French Progressive Death Metal and i must say that these guys are quite captivating! if you remember Gojira, then it is as heavy but we are millions years ahead in terms of intricacy, actually you will need to listen to the album quite a few times before you can get everything they have to offer, it's not pop music (no offense intended)! ^^ it's brutal, quite original (IMHO) and flawlessly executed! these guys knows how to handle an axe ...so wanna get the chop..or would you prefer to have a go at the guillotine, they know it all!?? ah ah! \m/

Mylene Farmer - Avant Que L'ombre (2005)

2008-04-28T09:12:00.000+08:00

Well before i fell into metal i think i have always loved poppy stuffs ^^, ...before i even knew what it was actually! for more than 15 years now this artist has been the only one french women i really like...but the funny thing is that despites her music, she is not that mainstream...indeed, she's quite controvertial! of course to get this you must understand the lyrics (but lots of them are sexually oriented and quite daring!). She's quite shy and is known to be a fragile beauty...sometimes she even cries on stage (for real or just as a stage show, one will never know, but i guess it is for real! ^^)... she's also the one who put this young french girl called Alizee under the spotlight...well hope you like her...i definitely do!

2008-04-28T09:10:00.001+08:00

DD is a cool band that play some grindcore/mathcore/deathmetal stuff...it's very heavy, brutal and kindda rugged! well i dont know much about them except that they are a bunch of lunatic as always in that kind of band, and that the musicianship is extremely good =) the album is also too short i think! ...the only thing that i deeply regret is the prod ... rather muffled... well it is not that tragic!lol but i think this band and its music deserve a better one....well hope you enjoy anyway!

Adultery - Slovanská Krev 2004

2008-04-20T18:17:00.001+08:00

before the week end is over and before i get cut again ^^, let's enjoy some Adultery! i'm talking music here guys! they comes from the Czech Republic, a pretty good place for everything that is tagged BM IMHO. Their BM is tinged with folkish elements but actually contrary to what most of the bands do, that is BM parts then a folky passages or interludes, here it is integrated into the music, the riffs sound folk-like at times! just like this band called Dominus which played his own iron-branded sort of DM, Adultery play his own BM, and though i can hardly get a word of what they say i guess they sing in their own language =) the prod is a bit muddy (but quite good for BM! ^^) and they sometimes use a bit too much reverb here and there, but i reckon this is why i like that band...kindda special in the end! hail! \m/

2008-04-20T17:54:00.000+08:00

brought you some flower this morning! ^^ no it's not pop, it's just rock or perhaps post-rock from SF, USA! if you like 80's influenced bands that one should really appeal to you ...and if you don't, no worries there is much more to dig and find out! they sound a bit like pink floyd or radiohead perhaps at time, cause they use quite a lot of synth sounds in their song though you don't hear it that much, it's rather subtle and completely tie the whole thing up...that this band is really good at making atmosphere, that's why i compared it to PF or R so hope you enjoy, i do ^^

Acephalous - Divine Purity - (2007)

2008-04-19T16:56:00.001+08:00

While we're investing brutality, let's have a look at belgium =) they have quite a solid scene regarding metal and Acephalous does nothing to undermine it, quite the opposite! they are not the uttermost original band ever but in they mixed style of Black death metal they are serious candidates, and this is only their debut album if im not mistaken! BM wise (and guitar wise!) they remind me of immortal, their DM side would be more like crown of thorn (or the crown as they must call themselves now). Blasting riffs and crazy mechanical double bass, guttural and scream vox, dark arpeggios...what about a hellish symphony for lunch!? ^^

In Vain - Wounds 2005

2008-04-19T11:41:00.000+08:00

Perhaps this name is familiar to you....anyway this band is difficult to describe...they are violent ...BM type of thing, but also quite technical as would be a grindcore squad of berserkers or a troop of medieval minstrel(!^^) ....and also quite unpredictable! their song are definitely in the vein of progressive stuff, call it 8 bit grindy-death-black-O-blues-folky-matic progressive sort of thing if you want =O ! but they have long tracks in which you have loads of differents and crazy atmosphere...well enough said ...i think they kick ass....what about you? ready to get a thrashing??!

Light Pupil Dilate - Snake Wine 2007

2008-04-17T12:03:00.001+08:00

LPD is really an interesting band and they should appeal to almost any metalheads IMHO cause their music includes so many different elements from almost all you can find in metal...they have chunky passages in the biohazard or pro-pain fashion, BM like things at times... a bit in the style of emperor's grandiose ambiances, powerful bass driven riff like in stoner...also quite like what the Melvins do, and cool instrumental passages ... well this album is really great to me as is the musicianship, so i hope it will be the same for you as well! \m/

2008-04-16T21:42:00.001+08:00

well as you can see iam back again ...not for long i guess but doesnt matter! ^^ Perhaps you know these girls cause apparently they come from Taiwan...anyway, their style is really pretty cool, a lot of electronic from ambiant atmosphere to a more AFX like type of thing, grinding guitars a bit in the style of Atari TR but less aggressive even so! add a smidgen of cold dark Burzumesque atmosphere here and there...this is electronic music for the most part, ....and it's pretty f"4^^ng awesome!

Illdisposed - The Prestige (2008)

2008-04-12T21:12:00.001+08:00

Illdisposed have released their new album recently and at first i was a bit disappointed with it because i thought their were indulging a bit too much in melodical passages, which is not the aim of DM IMHO! but after a few weeks i listened to it again and i completely changed my mind, actually i think this album is very good, and that melody and brutality are very well balanced together... of course it's Illdisposed so they have kept their style ...but their songs are really good with no dead time or floppy moments, and though my fav album remains Submit (and there's something rotten ...and kokaiinum and...! ^^), that one's groovy all along and seriouly kicks ass!

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat - 2004

2008-04-12T21:11:00.000+08:00

Perhaps you already know these guys cause i think i played them before...but anyway, they are a favourite band of mine and i know no other band like them! their style is not easy to define cause they use so many different things into each of their song, but i really like that psyche keyboard, and the theatrical like ambiances they create...the music is rather complex but i think they managed to keep it as entertaining as any thing labeled easy listening...hope you enjoy =)

These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home

2008-04-10T20:33:00.003+08:00

TAAS is not very famous (more in the US than in Europe i'm sure howver) but their music is cool, they play some alternative rock and add some strange texture to their sound (especially on the bass). they have a cool tone, quite their own, which is not so easy =) saw them onstage and i must they they are like balls of energy, especially the vocalist who's really doing a performance besides his vox parts...the album is good, but if you see them around check them out, they are well worth it ... and perhaps they'll even pay a visit to your place one of these days ... after all they came to my small remote town ... ah ah

Kristendom - Awakening The Chaos

2008-02-14T03:26:00.003+08:00

Kristendom... certainly not a moniker that rings a bell in your mind i guess!lol they are from France and play Death Metal...Awakening the Chaos is their 3rd or fourth album and i think it is their best! if you like it old school or from the 90's, then you'll be on cloud nine! ah ah! it's really groovy and i reckon it's a bit in the vein of six feet under at times from that regard, however, Kristendom's music is far more elborate and entertaining, with layers of synth used here and there to strengthen the feeling of darkness. No revolution here, ...granted.., but who cares?! these lads know their trade for sure, and that's enough for me! enjoy!

Fiend Without a Face - Fiend Without a Face (2000)

2008-02-13T03:49:00.002+08:00

We're reaching my last plays in here now with only a few days to go before i leave for good...Fiend Without a Face is a band i have never played and yet they are certainly one i like very much... the vocalist has something of jello biafra from Dead Kennedys which is just awesome! i don't know about you but i grew up with that kind of sound (and also classical music...Tchaikovsky, Bach & Wagner!) and it always bring tons of memories everytime i spin this one =) music wise it's just rockabilly, but they have a very cool way of playing it, horror-style-B-movie like!...some influences from the misfits perhaps ...or aping another band called zombies from outter space (well some stuff like that, can't remember! ah ah ) ... whatever, excellent album, warmly advised! enjoy =D

HEAD OF DAVID - White Elephant 1989

2008-02-09T01:46:00.002+08:00

What if you take a band like The Doors, when completely spaced out of course, and drown them into a reverating and throbbing enveloppe....well you might get something sounding somewhat like Head of David! If you don't like experimental...the kind that make you feel like you're too strung out to grasp the world around you...then i would suggest your leaving the room in a hurry!^^... however for all those still in here, and wondering what's gonna blow outta their speakers... let me give you a clue... the spirit of R'n'R might be what some call it! ah ah! enjoy!

Yargos - To Be Or Not To Be (2005)

2008-02-05T16:51:00.001+08:00

Perhaps you already know Yargos but if you don't i highly advise you to lend an ear to that one! being no fan of prog metal i can tell you that they are definitely worth a shot ... everything in this album is great, the vox, the melodies, the production ... here you have it all...quality and quantity, cause the album reaches above 1 hour of running time, which is quite a lot (...well i mean quite a lot compared to the grindcore stuff i listen to! ah ah!)... and everything is pefectly balanced, no instrument encroach on any other, all fits perfectly in its place ... it's not that much violent but it definitely rocks! well...not much to add, this is just brilliant! enjoy!

Carnarium - Constelaciones De Requiems 2002

2008-02-05T02:19:00.000+08:00

How about turning Barrocco for a short while...don't worry, just the time to travel back to the Renaissance period and meet that Spanish band called Carnarium! =) a pretty good band actually, they have female vox in the style of Elend's Les Tenebres du Dehors [The outter darkness] ...and perhaps even better performed! but what i like most is the brutal vox they use, in the best DM fashion! yummie! very guttural and cavernous growls with sad and creepy ambiances a la craddle of filth, typical of the BM line! Most of the songs are pretty cool, hovering between a fine blend of sweetness and agression! in that regard, i think this band has something of Septic Flesh, that is they use several simple melodic lines weaved together into a more intricate pattern. Well, a really interesting band picking a lot of different elements from various metal style and combining them in a unique way ...well worth checkin' out IMHO!^^ \m/

강인오 (Ino Kang) - My World 2005

2008-02-03T17:26:00.001+08:00

강인오 is a guitar player i discovered rather recently while trawling the web for something on joe satriani! ^^ and actually style-wise he's quite reminicent of good old statch. Not over technical (i mean by that no indulging in hyper speed playing) but definitely under the same sway of rock/blue influence, whether we consider his sound or the way he plays (rhythm wise). This is his first album and though it's certainly not going to revolutionize anything, the album is really cool and funky, and it will definitely make you have a good time for 3/4 of an hour! enjoy!

Razors edge - Sweet 10 thrashers (2006)

2008-01-28T21:42:00.000+08:00

Let's raise our fist to that band from Japan! Razor Edge plays the best punk style to my ears, they have catchy and gripping rhythm and despites the fact that this is a music style which has not much novelty to bring us, they have done it all the same! ...and as you press the play button, you just feel the surge of adreanalin rushing up your spine and taking control of your neck and head! quicker (and cheaper!) than any kind of drug you might find on this planet! if there is one kind of harcore thrash punk to save one day, let it be that one! the album is very short so no time to waste...come on!!! bring your booze, your "brooze!" and let's punk!!!! hail! \m/

Kermheat - Humanchico 2005

2008-01-27T21:54:00.000+08:00

There it's done! France has spawned another weirdo! lol there was ron thal aka bumblefoot now we have kermheat...the frog! ah ah ^^ i'm making fun of him but actually this guy is quite a killer! as technical as ron thal and as experimental as buckethead or Matthias Ia Eklundh! the album is really funny with lots of weird sounds and "fuckin' this... fuckin' that" sound clip vox... this guy is not gonna bore you ...even for a split second! summing up his style or giving a label to his music is quite impossible really...the only fact that we still can cling to in this world of his own is that there is but one rule ...there's no rule, so fend for yourself!! ah ah! and just to mention it, missing that one would be a shame!^^
ps: check out his myspace cause it's pretty cool! lots of funny pics!

2008-01-19T05:16:00.001+08:00

I don't think i ever played this band in here, what a shame! as it is definitely a fav band of mine =D they are quite unique in their kind and i love how they blend the different influences they put into their music...it's psychedelic, extremely heavy and absolutely brilliant! there is hardly any word i can use to describe what they do but Yakusa are utterly the masters of their trade! proficient musicians with a mighty spirit and an unquenchable thirst for the exploration of uncharted territories ...as one of my friend often says "you don't like that one? then why don't you just fuck off and die bonehead fucker!...umh..uhm.. no offense intended of course!" ah ah! i wouldn't go that far though ^^ lol so enjoy!

Heavy Lord - From Cosmos To Chaos

2008-01-19T01:39:00.000+08:00

what about a nice trip to Europe, and more particularly to Holland... but don't be afraid we're not setting off to see mills and tulips... Heavy Lord is not really into that, ... not at all indeed! ah ah ... i guess they would be more interested in ancient behemoth vestiges and sabbathian riffing! actually the vox kindda remind me of Phil Anselmo, especially that peculiar husky growling, and the music itself is more akin to Cathedral like bands, that is 70's inspired rock riffs with a massive and heavy sound! a pretty good combination IMO! the album is quite short for that genre as it only last 40 minutes or so and i definitely like that, no endless boring song here, the song writting is just excellent and dynamic, ... a one-off band IMHO, so hope you enjoy! =)

春秋 - 春秋

2008-01-13T00:09:00.000+08:00

This band is certainly better known to you than it is to me so i hope you can tell me a bit more about them ..like who they are, where they are from ...and so on and so forth! =D music wise i think their style is brilliant, like good old kickin' rock'n'roll or awesome heavy metal ... but what i think is truely cool and catchy about them is that they managed to make something original (to my ears at least!) with rather common material and that is quite a feat!... they use nothing spectacular but they come up with kindda fresh and well thought out ideas... like for instance an arpeggios added here and there, piano, accordion, pipa-like sort of sounds ... and i guess that makes quite a difference in the end, actually they created ambiances that i seldom, if ever, find in non-chinese bands! like an extreme version of 冷酷仙境! ah ah! just listen to 传奇 for example and you'll hear what i mean! ... The singer has also a great voice, i really like the way he sings and though i only get bits and pieces of what he says, i clearly feel the energy oozing from his vox! i don't know if that "spring and autumn" (Chun Qiu) moniker has a special significance or a hidden meaning to it but they kick ass all the same! rock on!

Monstrum - VIII Dzieñ Tygodnia (2007)

2008-01-10T06:00:00.000+08:00

Before i leave for good i still have some time to play a few more stuff after i guess it will be more difficult and perhaps too much time demanding ... anyway ... Monstrum ... did you know they existed??! ah ah! ... well at least after you listened to their music they should remain in your mind for some time! the band is not downright original ... well, they play heavy metal... but they are really great whatsoever ... i could go as far as ascribing some Maiden-like spirit and enthusiasm to them ... really! they have a knack for that genre, they sing in their own language (Polish i think) which is great but i also reckon that it will likewise be their greatest impediment to achiving a worldwide fame =) the music is rather technical and can sometimes be a bit in the line of prog stuff ... minus the keyboard! this is not my fav style nevertheless i found that band really catchy and i guess you are very likely to find it to your taste as well ... so have a go! ... and enjoy! ;)

Earthtone9 - Arc Tan Gent [2000]

2008-01-10T05:58:00.000+08:00

A bro advised not too much pop at once for some obscure health reasons ^^, so in case you have strayed off a bit too much on the wrong side because of the previous play, try this medication! =) It is likewise a band i love cause they have flawless songs IMHO, and an awsome prod! they come from mother England and despites i labelled them metal it is not that brutal ...though the music can turn out quite ballsy at times!lol i have never seen them on stage but from what i heard they are just brilliant in that context as well ... no wonder i'd say, given the albums they have released! the music is a bit in the line of Tool to give you a clue about what these blokes sound like..or perhaps even A perfect circle to a certain extent! well hope you have fun with it! \m/

Advantage Lucy - Echo Park 2005

2008-01-06T20:25:00.001+08:00

Here is a band i like very much, the music of which hovers between My little Airport and YUI, just as does the voice of the chick singing! the melodies are pretty cool and easy going, and the atmospheres are really dreamy though far less experiemental than those of My Little Airport. Indeed the music is pretty much anchored in rock overall and not so much in electronic! i must mention that there is one song i don't like much called "is this love" which i think is rather repetitive and boring, though it is not that bad even so!lol but there are plenty of other tracks to make up for it so don't waste your time with it! my fav is certainly track 6, 潮騒, which has a somewhat bjork-like quality to it, perhaps i shun a bit "is this love" cause it is the one track following my fav indeed ...and it is definitely no match for it! ah ah! ....well a great album to me, hope you like it!

Lumen - Правда 2007

2008-01-06T19:56:00.000+08:00

Here is a band from Russia...sorry... i can't be more specific!^^ they play cool rock music hovering between what i'd call "heavy" poppy-tailored melodies to much heavier ones ... a bit like stuffs in the genre of muse (or something alike! ah ah!), a band that is mixing soft and more energetic ambiances ... overall the music and the way it's composed is kindda like some energetic punk rock! the vox are in russian and i just love the sound they gave to the guitars ... sharp and full of warm mids!lol well the thing i would have done on that album is perhaps to shorten some bits here and there, but not that much whatsoever ... cool band definitely ... and the last song is a quiet one!lol enjoy! \m/

Glorior Belli - Manifesting The Raging Beast

2008-01-02T20:56:00.000+08:00

Now, after the main course, we usually have a log ... an icy one!lol .... in that case, a band coming from my home country ... and i must say that i am very pleased with how the BM scene is developping at the moment ... the spirit has not been left by the side of the road ... and the atmosphere is grimmer and more polished than ever! =D when i listen to them, the most famous band that comes to my mind is definitely Satyricon during their early period. Nevertheless i think they have found their own left hand path to the black kingdom cause though we have the same combination of icy atmospheres a la Burzum, raspy cavernous vox (in the style of Satyricon as a matter of fact), rather pounding and varied drum patterns ... and a huge solo in slayer's style on the last track!...i guess we can confidently say they have done it their own way ... and i just love that!lol

Mr Drill...and along with his wafting stench, he brought some brain and a putrified calf for the new year! how nice of him! ^^ ah ah! how to better start a new year than with a deluge of brutality, speed and aggression!? ...i see you're at loss for words as well ... actually don't exert yourself, there is no better way ... but beware, this album is extremely short ...under 20 minutes!...however when one plays that kind of music, then even a small span of time such as those 20 minutes easily tantamounts to .... more than 10 hours of ass shaking over some poppy!lol pretty technical ... very impressive actually, brutal, and yet groovy .... that's today's menu!

My beloved Lian, the grand poppy mistress, has finally released a new album, it came out at the begining of last month, and i think it is great ... as usual!=D so mind you, when you write a comment!!lol more seriously though you may argue her style is quite the same, at least she has not lost an ounce of her wonderful voice...and she's still endowed with that magical power that carries me away! ^^ ... what's more surprising is that there is a track with some french in it ... and though there are just a few words, they are correctly pronounced ... which is an undeniable proof that she is the bestest!ah ah! =) well many warriors are bound to be disappointed with that one but at least their wives shall enjoy it! ...every cloud has a silver lining as we say! ;)

Raging Speedhorn - We Will Be Dead Tomorrow

2007-12-31T08:16:00.001+08:00

listen to that racket away in the woods! the benighted guys from Raging Speedhorn sure need some room to play their music!^^ angry riffers hovering between the power ozzing from true rock'n'roll spirit ... almost punk like... and the heavyness of metal .... add on top of that very cool and agressive vox in the line of hardcore singers ...that even turn into guttural death-like vox at times! ... it's like spitting hot blood in the face of your worst enemy ... and better twice than once ... cause there are two vocalists actually! ah ah! To cut it short, they have the attitude and energy of the Hellacopters, and the sound of that good old Godsend ... that is a 70's inspired, grainy, fat and chunky, low pitched guitar sound that seems to linger forever unless it is stopped or deflected into another massive and devastating powerchord! Ride with the devil?? oh yeah.. sure we will! on your bikes warriors! \m/

[Air Guitar Battle] Michael Orlando - Sonic Stomp 2006

2007-12-29T23:52:00.000+08:00

N.Y.C has always been a breeding ground for incredible artists...Michael Orlando is one of them, a serious contestant for our Air Guitar Battle! Being a fan of Ron Thal/Bumblefoot i could not miss that one album since the great master appears on it ... and actually for the little story he is the one who told Micheal where to get the super axe he needed to fight...a Vigier! Besides their style are somehow echoing each other at times... Well, don't expect any bluesy feel with 1 note every three measures here (though it happens as well ...well more like 5 or 6! eh eh!!) ...indeed we're in another unscrutable quantic dimension where a million notes can be squeezed in a split second...and yet feel, like a giant big hole, will suck you in whatever you do to resist the attraction! ...finally, even if this guy is over technical ...cause that what he is!lol ...he sure knows how to use his skills not to bore you to death ... don't worry...everything runs smooth over here...you just need to get used to travel at twice the speed of light! =D

The Destro - As The Coil Unwinds [2007]

2007-12-28T21:44:00.000+08:00

Another cool band, coming from Texas...one thing that has always astouned me regarding them is the number of people that label this band "Death" or even "grindcore"...well, from my standards we are far from what i call that!lol ...i think i have finally found people that are worse than me at tagging a band! ah ah!... basically if you like stuff in the vein of pantera, that band should remain in your favorite for quite a while! =) the music is quite heavy and powerful with good riffs and quite a chunky sound, strongly reminiscent of the one illdisposed created for itself IMO! the massive production gives each songs all the agressivity it needs to make you feel like ripping everything down! ^^

This one band, if you have not listened to it yet, should really please you (and as usual i hope it's no replay!)! a little and concise description about their music...when you'll open the pandora box, in a big flash of colourful light, an incredible combination will be cast into the air.... pounding riffs and great leads on the one hand, powerful drumming and cool vox on the other...and to top it all a blasting bass that rope all that up! believe me, these guys will make your head move like hell...so i hope you're no longer too dizzy from the previous war...or you neck might snap! ah ah! enjoy!

Before X-mas is over in TW i must hurry to play that one!lol no big description needed, just very good axeman playing the famous x-mas tune. in order of appearance you have kenny wayne sheperd, eric johnson, jeff beck, the brian stezer orchestra, joe satriani, steve morse, steve vai, joe perry, alex lifeson, richie sambora and finally hotei! As you can see not the worst people they could find! i think it's cool to listen to how they revamped those songs in their manner...besides the title though it is appropriate for that period of the year, also befits any warriors..since not everyone call "axe" the same thing! ah ah! ...so hope you enjoy! ...and Merry Axe-Mas to you broz!

Yeah, i know, toxic war is already over! but indeed that last play triggered something else from HK (one titletrack in particular, "如果还有以后")...莫文蔚 may look like a poppy doll, well she's not! alright, alright ...but not that much even so! ^^ her style is rather ecclectic and i think you might like what she does...don't worry, it's not like the japanese childish pop i find funny for instance! she uses jungle rhythms very often but also sounds/loops that are to be found in Hip Hop or even keyboards reminiscent of Visual Kei!...and at times there are distorted guitars...actually each song has it's own style and what's great is that her voice adapts those changes! so she can sound either aggressive or very sweet, depending on the moment!...it is chiefly mainstream, but at least she proved she mastered all the different aspect of it! rock on!

Herbie Hancock - Future 2 Future 2001

As you'll hear it is not exactly like Krush but as i said i think their styles somewhat echo each other. H.H is mainly known for what he does in jazz but this one album, if it is still jazz, has nothing convetionnal in it! the music is done with samplers and turntable ...and a few keyboards of course! well, if you are acquainted with Herbie's sort of psychedelic style then you should feel comfortable in no time...i understand that perhaps some of his fan from the early fusion style period may be a little disappointed but to me H.H just shows with this record what a talented musician he is, no matter what he uses to make his music....if a bad workman blames his tool as we say, then not an instrument in this world need to fear him! ah ah! enjoy!
