Spiritual Beggars Recording New Album

Posted on Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Spiritual Beggars, the Swedish band featuring Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott, has entered the studio to begin recording its new album for a late 2010 release. According to Amott, Sharlee D’Angelo finished up his bass tracks in two days. “It’s very heavy and with a groove and swagger that only the D’Angelo/[Ludwig] Witt [drums] combo can deliver!” he added.

Spiritual Beggars

Spiritual Beggars’ last album, Demons, was released in Europe in June 2005 via InsideOut Music. The follow-up to 2002’s On Fire was recorded at Slaughterhouse Studio with Rickard Bengtsson and was mixed by Fredrik Nordström and Patrik J. Sten at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden. Mastering duties were handled by Göran Finnberg. The album cover art was conceived by Niklas Sundin of Cabin Fever Media.

Album of the day: Hard Stuff – Bulletproof

Posted on Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Lovingly pinched from The Ripple Effect: The first half of the 1970’s is a bottomless pit of kick ass hard rock. Every month or so someone will turn me on to some band I’ve never heard of and it’s always from before 1975. Not too long ago Racer wrote up ...read more

Album of the day: Sir Lord Baltimore – Kingdom Come

Posted on Friday, February 26th, 2010

Lovingly pinched from The Ripple Effect: People will debate endlessly about who founded that musical beast we’ve all come to know and love as heavy metal. And while arguments can be made that Blue Cheer unleashed the world’s first heavy metal song with their noise-core version of “Summertime Blues,” or ...read more

Album of the day: Poobah – Steamroller

Posted on Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Lovingly pinched from The Ripple Effect: One of the things I love most about the early period of metal, was the electrifying energy and passion that these bands poured into their craft. Most of these bands were nearly D.I.Y in their ethic, pumping out dark and heavy music that was ...read more

Album of the day: Hairy Chapter – Can’t Get Through

Posted on Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Lovingly pinched from The Ripple Effect: Absolutely frenetic, guitar searing heavy psych from Germany, Hairy Chapter steamrolls past most of the similar bands of the time. German axe God Harry Titlbach single handedly makes the Scorpions Lonesome Crow, seem pastoral by comparison.
Titlbach coaxes, flexes and wrings screaming howls out his ...read more

Album of the day: May Blitz – May Blitz/The 2nd of May

Posted on Friday, February 19th, 2010

Lovingly pinched from The Ripple Effect: One of the things I like best about exploring this endless vein of gold that is proto-metal, is never knowing exactly what I’m going to find next. As I wrote before, the proto-metal period (roughly 1969 – 1973) was a time of dissolution of ...read more

Album of the day: Siena Root – Different Realities

Posted on Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from The Obelisk: I just popped on Different Realities, the latest and fourth full-length from Swedish analog experimentalists Siena Root (on Transubstans, if you’re curious), and not only does it rock a good deal, but the concept of the record is pretty cool as well. There are 10 ...read more

Album of the day: Circulus – Thought Becomes Reality

Posted on Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Strangeglue: Circulus’ excellent new album arrives via the new model of fan support: advance orders and special “appear in the artwork” tickets to fund the recording and promotion. It’s a concept album, perhaps their best record yet, delivering a very clear and likely divisive document of exuberant ...read more
