Devin Townsend - Ki
In short, I'm adding this to the list of "if I could ever record one CD like this, I'd be content" (which, for the curious reader, otherwise mostly features Porcupine Tree and Opeth albums).
Absu / Rumpelstiltskin Grinder / Sothis / Afterlight Live
The June 17 gig at Peabody's of Cleveland is Absu's first Ohio concert date in over eight years. As a tepid crowd of 40 enters, however, it becomes apparent Texas' mythological occult metalheads will not get the respect they deserve.
Chick Corea & John McLaughlin - Five Peace Band Live
Does Chick Corea really need any introduction? For that matter, does John McLaughlin? In certain circles, definitely not- but for the uninitiated, the two of them have been around in the jazz fusion scene since its inception and in fact both were influential in creating it.
Dark Castle - Spirited Migration
Incredibly vast, the band's titanic style also contains majesty well beyond a first album. Poignant yet paranoid, Spirited Migration captures the intensity of life in eight songs, each more heart-wrenching than the last.
Michael Jackson: The Curtain Has Fallen on an Icon
Beneath the TV movie of the week that his life has taken on the last fifteen years, was a very sad, incredibly talented and tortured soul who created music that wasn't just revolutionary for its time, but will continued to be listened to for decades to come.
Noism - +
Noism aims at a new ground in brutal death metal by adding techno influences, but in reality, + is not worth a gallon of milk that expired two years ago. Electronic brutality meshed up into random noise without any soul, more importantly intelligence.
First Look: Hoodless
antiMusic had the chance to catch-up with the band and pick the brain of Twon, lead singer and ring leader. While some of the answers have that David Lynch, Cohen Brothers cryptic nature, (girls seemingly a huge influence) they are entertaining to say the least.
Figure of Six - Aion
As a sledgehammer to the sternum, Figure of Six's Aion can potentially cause self-inflicted chest wounds if experienced in long durations, and listeners at the highest risk include those whom simply hate talentless garbage such as this myopic garbage.
Wolves in the Throne Room - Black Cascade
An album like Black Cascade is special as it captures feelings human beings do not experience often in the modern age. Listening to it, one steps into the glory of a new world, that vast panorama of unexplored wilderness stretching towards the horizons.
