Another single and video off the upcoming album by Finnish post punk band, Grave Pleasures, has been unveiled, and everything about it so far suggests that Motherblood is going to be a worthy successor of the band's notable previous effort, Dreamcrash, and the excellent work of their former incarnation as Beastmilk.
A new Perturbator release is on the way and scheduled to drop on October 20th via Blood Music.
From its first sample the new EP, New Model, sounds like a further step away from Perturbator's rough, assaulting and unapologetic synthwave ways of Dangerous Days and The Uncanny Valley, and closer to a more realistic and denser approach to the artist's throbbing electronica, much like the sound he introduced with the single Tactical Precision Disarray last December, which is now also a part of the upcoming EP.
Vantablack features the contribution of Parisian electro-pop band OddZoo.
9-13 is going to be the first album from UK sludge legends Iron Monkey in eighteen whole years. The group disbanded in 1999 after the passing of their original vocalist J.P. Morrow due to heart failure, but now they are back with a new line up which includes Chaos UK drummer, Brigga.
The new album will be following the legacy begun with Iron Monkey's self-titled full length from 1997, and continued with 1998's Our Problem and their brilliant split release with Church Of Misery released in 1999. The band's only other release so far came in 2002, three years after their dissolution, and it was a live compilation titled Ruined By Idiots: Live And Unleashed.
The first track that surfaces to prepare the world for Iron Monkey's new phase of absolute nihilism is OmegaMangler.
9-13 releases October 20th 2017 via Relapse Records.
Consisting of vocalist-guitarist Doyle Martin, bassist Robert Markos, and drummer Brian Busch, Cloakroom from Northwest Indiana are releasing their sophomore album, Time Well, on August 18th via Relapse Records.
The band's new single and utterly mesmeric video, The Sun Won’t Let Us Go, features less of the band's massive shoegazing heaviness and more of their dreamlike textures and hynotic magnetism, while the previously released Seedless Star, also off the upcoming new LP, jumps out with its equally enticing qualities but through a weightier and fuzzier sound.
The Moral Crossing will be the sophomore full length by Leeds-based quintet, Autobahn, coming November 3rd on Felte in the US and on Tough Love Records for the rest of the world.
"Melancholy and darkness, and dissonant, uncomfortable music, resonates with us, for whatever reason. The new record is more melancholy than dissonant. I feel we're just opening up a bit more on this record," reveals Craig Johnson, the band's singer and main songwriter.
The album's title track, and the first sample we get to examine from Autobahn's new effort, hits hard like a combustible darkwave chant from the eighties, and throughout its six minutes of tenebrosity it becomes evident how the band is attempting to take their darkness a step further from their remarkable debut, Dissemble, from two years ago.
The existential and observational qualities in Autobahn's hyperactive kind of post punk expose a band ready to darkly shine among this genre's unduly emotional but still exciting tropes which their new single makes excellent use of.
Five years after All We Love We Leave Behind Converge return with a new album which raises the number of the band's studio albums to an impressive nine. The album is produced by the band themselves and mixed by their own Kurt Ballou.
The Dusk In Us includes their impressive recent comeback single, I Can Tell You About Pain, as well as the just surfaced Under Duress which certifies that the veteran quartet is in great shape and ready to unleash another consequential part of their unceasing creativity.
The upcoming album is due out November 3rd via Epitaph and Deathwish.
