Hej Vikingar !
Au cœur d’une forêt sombre et froide comme on en trouve beaucoup dans les terres nordiques, se cache une large clairière circulaire, trou béant dans l’océan d’arbres géants. Au centre de cette belle clairière à l’herbe d’un vert profond, parsemée de pâquerettes telles les étoiles dans les cieux, ce trouve un if gigantesque, enfant d’Yggdrasil,
MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN
Une parfaite union des contraires
October 27, 2018
Dans la pénombre, le visage concentré balayé par les vagues orange du reflet des flammes de l’âtre de la cheminée, je pars en tournée aux côtés de ce personnage incroyable. Dans mes oreilles raisonnent les riffs impertinents et la voix enivrante et brutale qui confectionnent l’album Ænima de Tool...
A PERFECT CIRCLE
EAT THE ELEPHANT
April 22, 2018
14 ans d’attente, ça fait long, évidemment, comme moi les fans de Maynard et de sa voix torturée sont certainement aux abois. Il faut dire que le monsieur sait entretenir la légende, entre « A perfect Circle » et « Tool », il a su nous rendre accro à sa vision apocalyptique du monde transportée par une musique à chaque fois étonnante.

Review by Myrt
October 18, 2017
Night Viper, un groupe Suédois formé courant 2014, qui va bientôt sortir un nouvel album (le 20 octobre prochain pour être précise chez Listenable Records )sobrement intitulé ‘Exterminator’, accompagné d’un très bel artwork représentant une femme et un serpent et faisant donc office de pochette. C’est leur deuxième album .
THE GREAT DISCORD
THE RABBIT HOLE REVIEW by Shelly
September 12, 2017
"The Rabbit Hole" by The Great Discord. Released September 8 on The Sign Records. Let's get to it. Shall we?
I've said before that there are two women in my goddess pantheon of female vocalists. They are Stevie Nix and Fia Kempe. Each of them in three aspects, artist, voice, woman, are the soundtrack to my very soul. A voice like Fia's could only have been born down to us from the clouds above Mt Olympus itself.
Am I gushing yet? Yeah, pretty much.....Moving on.

Apocalyptic States Of Art REVIEW BY MYRT
September 29, 2017
Aujourd’hui, on parle d’une sortie récente et d’un groupe français qui plus est. Arcãnum, c’est leur nom, nous livrent ici un EP intitulé Apocalyptic States Of Art. Originaires de Périgueux, c’est bien, je révise ma géographie française en rédigeant les articles, ils proposent ici leur première sortie officielle, (si on ne compte pas les démos), le tout disponible en écoute gratuite sur bandcamp et plus récemment sur youtube.
ORDER
LEX AMENTIAE

Much change has been afoot in my wide world of weird. Ha! You just thought you were rid of me.....
Seriously, though, do you ever go through those times where no matter what you do, nothing new grabs you so you cling to the stuff you've been listening to for many months if not years? That's been me the past few weeks. Some upheaval on a personal level, changes in jobs, living spaces, hometown, you name it, it will wear you down rather quickly.
Then Chester died and that sort of pushed me over the edge.
Poisoned Blood review by Shelly
July 10, 2017
Somebody said OSDM and I pricked up my ears.
Yes. Old School Death Metal. My favorite kind....Though I do lean heavily toward the European idea of OSDM, I feel like this is a distinct nod in that old school direction and worthy of my attention despite my bias toward the bands from across the pond. It's brutal without being too chaotic, and technically solid without being too "math metal" (ish).

You can always hook me with a good drum intro. The key lies in whether you can keep me hooked. I admit, the first time I found this band, I gave it a listen because I loved their name. My reasons are completely shallow, I know, but you have to admit, Goatwhore rolls off the tongue rather nicely.
I'm lying....no seriously.

The overview said, quote:
"A stunning piece of ritual sludge made by psychedelic riffs and ancient tribal chanting-based vocals. "
Oh....you said the magic word. Riffs. Alright. Down the hole I go. If I'm not back in two hours, somebody send in a guitarist to lead me out like the pied piper.
ROAST DOG
Random Rants Of Repressed Relevance
June 08, 2017
Witness how this one played out for me:
"hmmmm, not sure if I'll like the name you say...."
"8 bit metal?"
"....looks a bit like a comic book cover"
"Latvia, cool....I remember dancing with a Latvian dude at this international cultural festival thing I went to when I was 15....he was really nice"
"Wait. Roast Dog?"
"Oh alliteration!"
DREAM TRÖLL
The Knight of Rebellion review by Shelly
June 01, 2017
I want to live in a castle with giant smiling skull faced towers. I would hire a few Viking-ish dudes clad in decidedly small pants, knee boots, an armored fist, and with epic blonde locks to be my guards. I would require a rad sound system for the interior as well. Wimpy speakers will simply be inadequate for the skull shaking anthems of a certain Leeds based metal band I found a while back.

THE ABSTRACT ESCAPE REVIEW BY SHELLY
May 24, 2017
Here's the crazy thing. The first play through of this album took me to this place that felt like a slow walk down the halls of an old abandoned insane asylum, peering into each room, seeing flashes of the unsettling things that happened there. I was awash in a bottomless dark grey throughout the album that was equal parts scary as hell and meditative. It was like those few darkest moments before dawn...[ READ MORE]

I went on an expedition in search of more genre blending anomalies, took a right turn in Northern Europe and ended up back in Scandinavia in a death metal mood. I like to think of it as riff therapy. Want to guess which country? [READ MORE]

Pereplut is the Slavic goddess of drinking. That's only appropriate for me because this is exactly the type of music I'd be playing out in the middle of the forest with a bonfire, several friends and a shit ton of good vodka.
Random thought.....Parts of this album sound like a rad videogame soundtrack. Developers....you listening? You should be.[READ MORE]
