Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra - Kollaps Tradixionales

Lovinly pinched from musicOMH: With Godspeed You! Black Emperor seemingly no more, or at least missing presumed lost, Silver Mt Zion are now the main outlet for former GYBE main man Efrim Menuck. Kollaps Tradixionales is the band’s sixth album, and the first under this variation of their name. It’s also the first recorded outing of this particular line up, with the band having had something of a re-staffing over the last year or two.

Regardless of the personnel tweaking, this is still obviously a SMZ record, and unmistakably so. Kollaps Tradixionales might be a slight step in a different direction, but with Efrim Menuck at the heart of it things were never going to be wildly different. But new drummer David Payant has added a more steely resolve when needed, and despite Efrim being the sole guitarist currently, Kollaps… contains some of the heaviest guitar moments from the band so far.

Lovingly pinched from Cyclic Defrost: Necro Deathmort are a London duo comprised of Matthew Rozeik and AJ Cookson, and this debut album release on Distraction This Beat Is Necrotronic apparently their first ‘proper’ record easily represents one of the most intriguing and unexpected genre collisions I’ve encountered over the past ...read more

Album of the day: City of Ships – Look What God Did to Us

Posted on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Lovingly pinched from The Obelisk: It’s hard these days for a band to maintain any kind of mystique.

Album of the day: Amesoeurs – Amesoeurs

Posted on Monday, December 21st, 2009

Lovingly pinched from Pitchfork: Profound Lore has been knocking down the walls of black metal for a while. Label acts Caïna, Cobalt, and Wrath of the Weak alloy the genre with others, puzzling purists and delighting critics. Amesoeurs are the imprint’s greatest challenge to categorization.
This French band surveys black-clad music ...read more

Posted on Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Lovingly pinched from The Obelisk: You can make whatever sound comparisons or analogies you want, to my ears, the debut from Yawning Sons is principally two things. First: mesmerizing. Second: warm.
