Forgotten Tomb - ...And Don't Deliver Us From Evil review

Year : 2012
Genre : Blackened Doom Metal
Label : Cruz Del Sur Music
Origin : Italy
Rating : 7.5 / 10

Buy it now

I have no clue whether THIS Forgotten Tomb is the same one that has featured the band frontman and his insecurities contained in a bath tube on an early '2000s LP, but, in case it IS the same formation, then it is safe to say that the music has changed a lot since the inception of the "Songs to Leave" album. The content of the "... And Don't Deliver Us From Evil" contribution is a rather eloquent and well constructed flow of easily accessible - yes, I have said it - blackened doom, and, if you think that this very attribute harms the legitimacy of sheer heaviness, then, in my opinion you are purely mistaken.

Australasia - Sin4tr4 review

Year : 2012
Genre : Instrumental Progressive Metal with a Black Metal flavor
Label : Golden Morning Sounds
Origin : Italy
Official Site : > - here - <

Italy's Australasia has cultivated a music format which is ripe enough to base a full length debut on without having to reinvent its premiere components. The reoccurring central agenda is to summon music from a tame direction at the start, THEN the more intense side of metal is revealed, almost always through two variations : mit-tempo, and finally, with considerable speed that  finds pleasure winking at stone-traditional thrash metal rhythm patterns - a positive, not a negative. By the time a certain song has showcased all the aforementioned structural elements of different modal tints that are calling the song into life - it already has a healthy amount of content to offer intriguing variation without you even noticing it. It is pretty safe to say that the disc has no weak moments, and this is the result of how the album realizes its own current capacities, and decides to wrap things up before they would start to recycle their previous statements.

Stone Sour - House of Gold and Bones Part 1 review

Year : 2012
Genre : Alternative Metal, Hard Rock
Label : RoadRunner Records
Origin : United States
Rating : 7.5 / 10

Buy it now

I - a terrible letter to start a review with - just watched the new Stone Sour video "Gone Sovereign", and my expectations were met and not surpassed. Although the clip have sought desperately to put goose bumps on my skin in the process and failed at THAT secondary objective, I have heard a competent take on classic alternative - yes, I just lost a level now - rock. This is his.

Neurosis - Honor Found In Decay review

Year : 2012
Genre : Sludge Metal
Label : Neurot Records
Origin : United States
Rating : 6.0 / 10

Buy it now

Music and the other types of entertainment are constituting the all-tolerant media evil should be expressed on when the insatiable urge to express evil IS present, because no one has to get harmed in THIS process. I don't condone the harming of any living things - highly evil mind parasites that are fulfilling their functions in a mind  idiotic enough to invent, invite AND serve them : included - but I condone anything in art, saved for the evidently tasteless. Severed toddler heads hanging from erect Baphomet dick is a starting point for tasteless. Unfortufuckinglutely, as a miserable music critic, I already have had the lifting experience of being soulcrushed by quite a few top tier sludge formations in recent days in order to harness high quality amusement, and THIS particular record from renowned sludge ensemble Neurosis simply isn't evil and isn't uncompromisingly disillusioned enough to weigh in as a timeless recommendation, NOT on this particular music review site Noise Shaft. Though I'm not competent enough to offer an opinion on the overall contents of the lyrics, through the music itself, a relentlessly self-fixated demeanor - not hard of a mistake to commit as a human - seems to be observable throughout the effort, which so adores the results of examining itself that it reaches the point on which it emerges content with any expression of its inner findings, and these deliberate anti-charms do not really seem to be sufficiently intricate constructs of classic existentialist fear and the general absence of love-evident to be worth showing for almost an entire hour. Because the 60 minutes disc has about 10 minutes of badass music, too.

Existing as a human is only frightening when you fail to accept the limitations that are inherent to the human condition, - tits will turn you on, for example - and, the very instant you submit to the worship of your fear of your own incapacities, you will suck legendarily as a(n) (f)artist. Granted, a sludge metal band worth listening to really should be fronted by Cthulhu, nevertheless, the style has great potential to express the helplessness of existence, but, more importantly, to offer reflections on the possible shapes of doubts and fears surrounding this particular - human - form of it. The massive caveat I have with this Neurosis - a good thing that the sentence continues - LP is that it not only is relentlessly fixated on shapes and thoughts of fear that have been addressed a million times before through the capacities of music, but, shitassfuck, it seeks to offer clumsy images of hope - cheapest human commodity - at places I don't want to see the REMNANTS of disgusting hope at - AT all. Don't assuage me on a sludge metal disc, please. Crush my soul or get away from me.

Only an idiot - or Chuck Norris - would want to be the protagonist of a nightmare, but it is expectable from a successful sludge metal release to declare 111% indifference towards the human condition, and what I hear on this release is simply music made by people armed with a terrible mood, and, the somewhat seemingly trite variant of that, too. You can have that without having to sit around listening for an hour while having the bad mood of others poured on you. Bad mood simply isn't enough. Never ask the neurotic how he is doing, because he will tell it. Read more if you feel like it.

Anaal Nathrakh - Vanitas review

Year : 2012
Genre : Grindcore with a Melodic Death Metal tint
Label : Candlelight
Origin : United Kingdom
Rating : 8.0 / 10

Buy it now

Birmingham based Anaal Nathrakh delivers a record that maintains the sonic hyper-aggressivity the formation is known for, yet a notable attraction for the clearly identifiable melodic hook is on eloquent display all throughout the disc. You'd be unfathomably mistaken if you'd think that this hardened duo of veteran silence assassins are seeking ways for the not at all mysterious preferences of the mainstream with the introduction of choruses that truly reek melodic death metal in character. The format/temper of the music still resonates relentless audio terror as it is being courted by delicious, adept variation - although the builds now claim the fortunate liberty to further compliment the flamboyant jackhammer-fray with motives that are sculpted out to reveal a catch-factor in pretty much all ten songs. Funnily enough, the musical language/affection of the disc is akin to the favorite moods of Fleshgod Apocalypse's 2011 LP Agony. The name of the game is neoclassicism orchestrated to a music production environment that can start or end a war at will. Read more or don't.

Cheech - The Monday Tuesday LP review

Year : 2012
Genre : Hip Hop
Label : Independent
Origin : United States in way of Mexico
Official site : > - here - <

Buy it now

Cheech is a San Diego based hip hop artist spilling and busting the rhymes with an original Mexican heritage, and still you would be wrong to think that he delivers the content through a not-so-headless messenger attached on a turtle, Breaking Bad style. The hip hop of Cheech reminds me of the extremely demanding and entertaining style of Bone Thugz 'N Harmony, as your current rap host is equally fond of utilizing smooth, calmer musical backdrops, - think along an easy listening register highly compatible with green tints if you catch my drift - WHILE the lyrics on top are relentless both in their flow and in their thought.

The Monday Tuesday LP is almost uncharacteristically massive for a hip hop declaration, which never is a problem, once the content is exigent throughout. The disc, first and foremost applies a sober overall strategy of cutting up this truly robust hip hop statement into tracks weighing in around the 3 and a half minute mark, and you get none less than 17 of these larger than life pieces for your relentless ear-soaking pleasure. In other words, we are talking about an unusually massive work of eloquently shaped rapping right now, and it seems to be evident to me that the LP encompasses and reflects multiple stages of the artist's career. This easily is double CD material. If I'm not mistaken, based on his Soundcloud nick, Cheech is 22 now, which is an ultra-young age for a rapper capable to produce relentless flow of spoken text for minutes after minutes and minutes while keeping elegant thought and emotion intact.

Kiss - Monster review

Year : 2012
Genre : Glam Rock
Label : Universal Music Group
Origin : United States
Rating : 9.0 / 10

Buy it now

Experience knows no age. You can think about Kiss what you want, - and no one will give a shit - but the one thing you won't ever be able to take away from this band is that they are the masters of their craft of delivering covert operation family friendly gla... chick metal. PMS metal. The Monster LP is the picture perfect reproduction of the old school BUT exigent registers of late '80s early '90s glam metal. The package - hihi. - really has no shortcomings - ihihi, and hihihi. - to it and renders a rigorously, meticulously and competently constructed glam rock soundscape from beginning to end, top to bottom. You literally have to be a troll-prospect to find a flaw in its fabric, such steep is the level of attention that has been devoted to the creation process of this album. Read on to know more.

Kids From Nowhere - Kick It In review

Year : 2012
Genre : Honky Tonk Blues, Rock 'N Roll, Alternative
Label : Skipperless Media
Origin : Israel
Official site : > - here - <

This review starts out with a snippet taken from the band's official biography, as this pretty much is the perfect way to introduce newcomers to this surprisingly solid Israeli Honky Tonk - you  have read it right - ensemble.

"The Kids From Nowhere is an international experiment in American music, based in Israel. Members include singer/songwriter Zach Wheat (Texas), drummer "Element" Yves Elisee Akowendo (Côte d'Ivoire), bassist Elad Avni (South Africa) and guitarist Babush (Israel).

The band is heavily influenced by Texas "outlaw" country music, the British Invasion, and the proto-punk songwriting of Lou Reed and Mark E. Smith. Active since 2007, Kids From Nowhere have played to Israeli and American audiences and are releasing their first LP, "Kick It In" in October, 2012. Produced by Or Bahir (Eatliz, Amit Erez) the album combines vintage rock arrangements and traditional songwriting with modern recording methods. And noise. Lot's and lots of noise."

Jeff "J. J. Star" Duran - Cursed Since Birth Deluxe Edition review

Year : 2012
Genre : Hip Hop, Dance, Rockabilly, Country, Surf Rock
Label : Independent
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

There is little if any doubt that with the Cursed Since Birth Deluxe Edition mixtape, disc jockey and micwiz' Jeff "J. J. Star" Duran assembled the perfect compilation with hyper-optimized capacity to make family leaders hide their loved ones in the closet out of the sight of this  flamboyant, explicit/hilarious sonic content. The one thing that will strike you first about this installment is the mere length of the contribution. With 22 tracks spread throughout a time period clocking in well above the 60 minute mark, the mixtape will bend you to its deliberately and intriguingly twisted will, giving you no other chance than to let go of all expectations and submit to all of its curious tints and the galore of skillfully placed oddities which serve as the premier appeals of the flow. Read on to know more about this monster-lenght mix tape.
