…odern groove with plenty of bottom end to it and opens with an effective, crunchy appeal. Veering into more melodic territory, the vocals stick to clean territory and mount towards a blurring of hypnotic riffs and a soaring chorus. Of course, things get heavier and some later growls give the guitars some added oomph and fit nicely with the feel of the song. “The Missing Parts” has an intriguing atmospheric feeling through it, as the rumbling bassw…
…and all kinds of stuff. It’s really cool! Dead Rhetoric: You mentioned the videos, there’s been some pretty impressive videos so far for the new album. What are some of your memories surrounding some of the videos this time around? Siirala: Alex is filming and editing – he is doing everything himself, so it’s really amazing what he is doing with these videos! We had some great locations! One of the highlights obviously has to be Iceland. It was my…
…for “Curse of Creation” while the stop/start double barrel rhythms within “World in Flames” push into latter day 80s Bay Area thrash platforms (the uplifting dual harmonies key to providing additional memorable sequences). Recording in the comforts of drummer Mike Sabatini’s Bandmother Recording Studio, he would also mix the record with Bloodfeast guitarist C.J. Scioscia while the mastering took place through Joe Lambert. Executing their familiar…
…ngs to the table for the group, thoughts on the lyrical themes of war and true crime stories that prop up, highlight memories of Wacken, Dynamo, Death Angel and Bolt Thrower, where the underground is alive again for extreme metal globally, how the passion for music won out over soccer, and hopeful tour plans. Dead Rhetoric: Killing Karma is the 11th studio album for Disbelief. How did the songwriting and recording sessions go for this set of mater…
…yond the records and live shows/touring? Joensen: Yeah, we do enjoy making videos and having videos. They add a completely different element to the whole thing. Unfortunately, our budget for videos is not great – we spend months and years on the music, and we spend one day on the video. There is kind of mismatch there – the music is much more thought through, more highly produced than the videos. Although the videos are decent for the time and mon…
…n and within sight. Kim-Marius: It’s what we also think about when we play live. We play live what we can play with our hands and our voices. We don’t use any backing tracks or anything to augment the sound. It’s 100% live, with all the flaws that come out when playing our kind of music. Pierre: We don’t even use a click track so sometimes we play material a little faster than it should be, with mixed results. We think that is a part of the authen…
…u think back to when the Pythons started to do that, it was the era of Woodstock so long ago. Woodstock is history and a legend, and the Pythons are still in the here and now, for whatever reason – four are still here, two are gone. It was fun to do that, the lyrics seemed to write themselves. It was very easy to get it done. I said to Gino, you don’t really understand whether the knight is pleased or the father. We had the same narrator on the 20…
…ight tracks. Thankfully the flourishes of electric guitars and propulsive drumming appear in all the right spots – because often this is a style of metal where the symphonic components could overshadow the natural heavy elements. A children’s choir supplements the Finnish sung “Vem kan segla fooerutan vind”, thunderous in spaces while thoughtful in its pacing over the course of its 7:09 playback, the guitar work of Miika Haavisto and Jarno Suodenj…
…ith this multi-layered gothic, rock, and metal voicing. Add in the killer drum solo from Cullen Mitchell (where he gets to stretch his technique into extreme pastures) and the subsequent crunchy, half-time pit moving Nevermore-ish angle, and you have the makings of a certain Dialith staple for years to come. Returning to Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) for mixing/mastering duties as well as a continuance on the art front for Marta Sokolowska (togethe…
…at. The album comes out in March, so we have some lead before the headline run. We have all of the singles rolling along with videos and press. The main thing is to hit the road hard this year, rolling in with some festivals and shows in the summer. We were unfortunate to get hit with COVID as the first album came out, which was interesting now since this feels like our first release. We are able to go out there and tour. It was difficult to tour…
…ong itself throws in all the ideal bells or whistles on vocal parts or instrumental / transitional changes to make this another mandatory treat, drummer Vassilios ‘Lucky’ Maniatopoulos going from moderate to double kick slamming groove paces while guitarist Jean Borman delivers all his axe tricks in the arsenal – downpicking triplets, fluid rhythms, bluesy to neoclassical breaks that prove he’s a force at his craft. Continuing the theme from the p…
…ce that penetrates the main riffs or comfortable lower verses to rising chorus for “Ombria (City of the Night)”. Arpeggio-laden licks fuel the subsequent gallop nature of “Sacrifice of Steel” – the supportive choir-oriented background vocals serving notice that the band aim to triumph with warriors searching for the light, seeking victory no matter what the cost. A nod to gone but never forgotten metal/hard rock legends appears in a talk sequence…
…ky on through to the final, squeal-enhanced musical fadeout, Slice ‘Em All lives up to its title – an eleven-track obliteration for those who love the work of Municipal Waste, S.O.D., and a touch of early Slayer, Destruction or Metallica when called for. Tomcat Fat Freddy adorns as a mascot for the rat-infested front cover – which extends into many of the themes / song titles that also mirror the feline thread, as “New Claw Order”, “Strike of the…
…dge: It’s both good and bad at the same time. On one hand – streaming has crushed the physical music market, people can listen to your music all day, essentially for free, without ever supporting the band financially in any capacity. There’s the comparatively underwhelming stream quality to a CD or Vinyl, and how that squashes our mixes. There’s rubbish royalty rates, I could go on. But ultimately, having our music readily available, accessible fo…
…sound effects enhance the intensity of Magnus’ melodies, the extended instrumental section a goldmine for those who enjoy musical interplay even in a slower, emotive format. The organic production values reward listeners as well – almost as if you are taking in the group live off the floor peaking into a white hot band session. The cover art gives plenty of little nuggets to behold – while the lyrical content explores themes relating to personal…
…ge fan of Warcraft and World of Warcraft. I have written an album on those stories. I have been playing World of Warcraft for a long time. I think its coming up on its 20th anniversary this year. I’ve been playing for probably 18 years. Games like Skyrim and those I really like. But I’m also a fan of trading card games like Magic: The Gathering. It’s one of my favorites. I played for over 10 years, but not anymore on a professional level because i…
…med on drums. A conceptual effort about a boy aiming to save his imaginary world from destruction and violence occurring in his real life, the questionable / inhuman healing methods (plus surgeries) take place in a Victorian-era mental asylum – with the eleven tracks traversing a catchy / aggressive platform, mirroring the melancholic lyrics while being adventurous and potent when necessary. The brighter guitar harmonies Patrick executes often car…
…y difficult. Dead Rhetoric: What worries or concerns do you have about the world that we live in today? Where do you think the average person needs to focus more time, energy, or resources on to make society better for the greater good of all? Hernando: The world has changed in the last twenty years so much, I can’t even recognize the world that I grew up in during the late 70s and 80s. Especially in the last four or five years, all these events w…
…er usual, they did not lead us astray. Worm is an entity unto themselves. True to reputation, Worm engulfed our hapless ears with a weighty, monolithic wall of doomy black metal that literally rumbled the walls. They play loud and meticulously, with a known air of mystery to boot, with shadows and the occasional camera phone flash giving the clearest glimpse of Phantom Slaughter and his horde. “Murk Above the Dark Moor” provided a grime-filled era…
…ome potent synthwork that brings you to the battlefield so to speak, while rumbling guitars and Alex Krull’s roars augment with thunderous energy. It’s the soothing yet soaring clean vocals of Elina Siirala and melodic disbursements that seal the deal with these songs, providing a fitting yet catchy element that gives the songs even greater power. The album’s quietest track, “Goddess of the Night” brings with it a lavish fantasy element that effec…
…decided to move to the United States, I had just asked my mom to buy me a drum kit because I wanted to be a drummer. My brother was playing guitar at the time, we had just started jamming. But my brother was a year older than me, so he came to the states first. We migrated and started a band together, we were actually able to buy a drum kit, and it became our obsession. We formed a band in high school, it was metal and pretty cool. We did a couple…
…f a mid-range folk-ish nature to his verses, the unison choirs keep the choruses easily attainable for even the most fearful audience singers of the world. Most will be hard pressed not to be screaming / vocalizing to the key hooks for “Altar of Illusions” or the Blind Guardian-esque “Empty Shell” (think Tales from the Twilight World-era here), the former alluring musically on its cleaner intro that builds into a tremendous, headbanging force of a…
…d on Bandcamp. Be sure to also check out the first single from the album “Cruel World” now! Destroyer of Light’s Degradation Years is: Guitars & Vocals – Steve Colca Guitars – Keegan Kjeldsen Bass – Mike Swarbrick Drums – Kelly Turner Recorded at Austin’s Orb Recording Studios (Grimes, The 1975) and mastered by James Plotkin (Voivod, Botch, Thou). Track listing: 1. Cruel World 2. Waiting for the End 3. Perception of Time 4. Failure 5. Man with No…
…using the downtime of the pandemic to release a double single and work on videos. Now that things resemble normalcy in the entertainment industry, Midnight Forces showcases a third record that continues the melodic heavy metal approach, chock full of twin guitar action plus steady rhythm section mechanics, as the singalong vocal melodies / choruses keep the anthem atmosphere on point. Attention to key transitional movements allows the musical hoo…
…thing with everyone else. Dead Rhetoric: How would you describe the band’s live performances and attitude/philosophy on stage – and what have been some of the most memorable shows you’ve done to date with the group? Selfish: Our first and foremost goal is to keep it really fun with the live show. With the pop samples, the really high energy. As far as the best shows we’ve done… Moate: What sticks out most in my mind is the best shows on the last t…
…to my latest find, the Chicago, Illinois band Wounds and their debut album Ruin. This is death metal done right, especially for those who enjoy an ideal mix of heaviness, brutality, plus technicality. From the opening salvo of “The Archfiend’s Apothecary” and “Doom Incarnate” one can feel the sense of urgency. Two major highlights immediately leap out with “In the Maw of the Beast” and “Birth of a New Light.” Not surprisingly, these were both albu…
…ransitions to not overwhelm the listener – making sure to allow the catchy runs, hooks, and melodies to be hammered home easily. Prepare to hear a lot more from Lutharo as they aim to hit the road even harder than ever before. Chasing Euphoria contains all the ideal elements one could want in a multi-pronged metal outfit today – once again highlighting the strength, passion, and tenacity of the Canadian metal movement to the world. https://www.you…
…ank when it comes to their normal speedy thrash attack – the rapid-fire chorus plus grunts/growls an ideal match for the relentless proceedings. Sons of Alaheim allows Miehala to establish themselves as another newcomer worthy of investigation if you enjoy an old school form of thrash given a bit of life in some death, doom and groove textures. Hopefully the second full-length hits the streets in 2025, as it could be a barnburner. https://www.yout…
…e biggest challenge for us – our dynamic is challenging at times because I live in New York and the rest of the guys live outside of Boston. We do have a real schedule and we hold each other accountable in regard to that. We had a practice space that we had been using since our previous band we were in. We were in it for fifteen years. While we were recording this last album, we found out that unfortunately the building was going to be condemned a…
…elda-inspired cut “Power of the Triforce” that melds the happy-go-lucky chorus and mid-tempo riffing with some high-octane bursts of shred. And while it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, “Doomsday Party” has to be a major highlight, with it’s more ’80s inspired synths and melodies done in a very melodic Dragonforce way, something that’s bound to be a fun break in the live scene in between more furious bouts of extreme power metal. It’s a very hooky, d…
