Interpol - Antics

El segundo disco de estudio de esta banda americana sigue la linea de su disco debut "Turn On The Bright Lights", un poco menos oscuro pero igual de solido con muy buenas canciones.

Normalmente siempre hay dos o tres canciones que vale la pena escuchar en un disco pero les garantizo que en este no se arrepentirán de escucharlo completo. De todas formas en mi personal punto de vista "Narc" es una de las mejores (para mi la mejor) canciones que he escuchado.

Tracklist

1. Next Exit

2. Evil

3. Narc

4. Take you On a Cruise

5. Slow Hands

6. Not Even Jail

7. Public Pervert

8. C'mere

9. Length Of Love

10. A Time To Be So Small

Sencillamente un clásico que deben tener en su colección.

Espero que les guste mi primera aportación y bueno los invitamos a que comenten que les pareció el disco :D.

Orianthi-Violet Journey-2007

2010-02-17T21:06:00.005-06:00

Bueno aqui les presento a una mujer virtuosa en su instumento que actualmente esta comenzando a aparecer en el mainstream musical pero que tiene bastante historia, se trata de Orianthi Paganaris u "Orianthi" como todos la conocemos.

De ascendencia Griega y nacida en Australia Orianthi aprendio la guitarra acustica gracias a su padre a los 6 años y despues comenzo con la guitarra electrica, a los 15 dejo la escuela para concentrarse en sus canciones y su musica lo cual la ha llevado a ser telonera de Steve Vai a los 15 y tambien de Carlos Santana a los 18.
Mas tarde apareceria en el Crossroads de Clapton y tambien con Carrie Underwood en los Grammys 51, tambien colaboro un poco con Michael Jackson para su ultima gira que haria, "This is It".

Todo este background nos lleva a una gran artista que lanzo su primer album en el 2007 bajo el nombre "Violet Journey" combinando elementos de country, algo de pop y un gran virtuosismo en la guitarra, es como una mezcla entre Santana y Vai, aparte de escribir y cantar sus propias canciones, el disco no fue bien promovido y no recibio la atencion necesaria, pero aqui lo tiene para que lo disfruten.

Ihsahn-After-2010

2010-02-10T16:21:00.002-06:00

Coronamos la trilogia con el poderoso After.
Este album lleva el misticismo logrado en los dos anteriores albumes al extremo y tambien nos trae innovaciones musicales significativas.
Para empezar es el primer album de Ihsahn grabado con guitarras de 8 cuerdas lo cual le da una profundidad bastante tremenda.
Y tambien la inclusion de un saxofonista hace de este album una verdadera delicia auditiva no apta para cualquiera.
Es magia, es musica buena, es Ihsahn, After!!!

Segundo album de estudio de Ihsahn que es lanzado en el 2008 y bueno aqui la mejora en cuanto al primero es increible, los tracks mejor diseñados, el album mucho mejor ambientado y que decir de las letras, es casi poesia lo que escribe Ihsahn.
Para acabar de apuntalar un de por si ya excelente album se le ocurre traer de vocal invitado a Mikael Akerfeldt ( Opeth ) en el track "Unhealer" y vaya que hicieron un trabajo fenomenal, esa combinacion de voces y el feeling que transmiten es genial, sumamente recomendado este album.

Y bueno muchas veces las trilogias son muy buenas o no?
He aqui otra tercia de albumes que merecen ser escuchados.
Esta vez a cargo del viejo frontman y guitarrista de Emperor, nada mas ni menos que Vegard Sverre Tveitian, mejor conocido como Ihsahn.
Tras la disolucion de Emperor este genio de la musica puso en su mente crear un album en solitario y comenzo a trabajarlo.
Su primer album es solitario titulado "The Adversary" fue lanzado en el 2006 y es una mezcla extrema de todo tipo de influencias, mayormente black y progresivo con algunas canciones pegandole al viejo King Diamond.
Un excelente album y muy buen primer album de estudio, pero lo mejor estaba por llegar.

Segundo album de Iommi esta vez acompañado de su entrañable amigo Glenn Hughes.
Este album realmente fue grabado en 1996 y en algun momento fue conocido como "Eighth Star" por la similitud con el viejo "Seventh Star" pero fue reeditado y lanzado hasta el año 2004.
Nada que ver con Black Sabbath realmente pero en algunas canciones hay riffs bastante buenos.

Ya hace muchisisisimo tiempo que no me paseaba por aqui y bueno hoy es el dia en el cual les traigo un poco mas de musica para deleitarnos.
El primer set es del maestro Tony Iommi quien ha sido mente maestra detras del mounstuo que hoy es Black Sabbath y siendo calificado por muchos como el padre del Heavy Metal pues es mas que natural que su obra trascienda mucho mas alla de Sabbath y una prueba de esto son 3 discos que edito en solitario junto a varias personalidades de la musica y que en verdad son muy buenos y vale la pena revisarlos.

Comenzamos con Iommi, un album lanzado en el 2000 en el cual hace un heavy bastante agradable y muy bien hecho.
La particularidad de este disco es que en cada track hay un vocal invitado diferente lo que le da una variedad bastante agradable al disco, disfrutenlo.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Green Day (2007)

2010-02-08T22:38:00.002-06:00

This is the latest installment of this type of material they are the only ones I could get perhaps in response to the growing number of new parents who spent their youth listening to punk, Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Green Day (just one of many in the collection) remakes some of the trio's biggest hits using gentle, calming, sleep-inducing percussion and keyboard instruments (vibes, glockenspiel, etc.) instead of the more raucous combination of guitar, bass, and drums. Clearly this is an album meant more for the amusement of the parents, looking for a bit of respite from "Mary Had a Little Lamb," than for the actual musical enjoyment of the child, but since the versions of "Basket Case," "When I Come Around," and "American Idiot" are soothing enough in their own strange way, it just might do the trick.

Unbreakable is a great compilation of the previous three albums Down to Nothing, each track is a clear progress as regards the punk genre, based on old school hardcore and after him many elements denote the clear harmony, as not all the time is screaming, basically anything technical in the musical spectrum. This version contains some topics that may be cut as claimable on the CD, but that's not necessarily bad, because maybe for older fans is something refreshing, while for new fans, is a small introduction to the world Down to Nothing.

Down to Nothing - Splitting Headache (2005)

2010-02-04T20:26:00.005-06:00

Right down to the gross out comic book style album cover, the second full album by Down to Nothing strongly recalls the early 80's heyday of D.I.Y. street punk. At 11 songs that only rarely break the two minute barrier, Splitting Headache is all shouted vocals, massed guitar riffs, righteously sloppy cymbal heavy drumming, and lots and lots of good old fashioned swearing. It's a mess, but it's an energetic mess, one that will leave the receptive listener aching for a little cathartic slam dancing by the end of it. Particular attention must be paid to the outstanding "Us v. Eachother," one of the best old school punk songs of the year. As punk evolves through each successive generation of teenagers, mutations are accepted and elaborated upon to such an extent that the punk rock of 2005 only rarely sounds like the punk rock of 1981, and the punk of 1976 sounds like classic rock in comparison. Splitting Headache, however, is proof that there are certain punk verities that will never go out of style.

10 Years - Division (2008)

2010-02-02T20:04:00.004-06:00

Division sounds like the work of a band that carefully and thoroughly deconstructed its previous hit and attempted to replicate it several more times for the follow up. Division is a smooth, radio friendly record with the debut aggressive tendencies almost entirely sanded off in favor of new producer Rick Parashar's glossy layers of instruments and vocals. Even potentially powerful quiet to loud rockers like "Russian Roulette" and "11 AM (Daydreamer)" feel over manicured and far too polite, singer Jesse Hasek's vocals losing their emotive power in the overall listlessness. Even worse, hints that the bandmembers now consider themselves "artists" occasionally rear their ugly heads: the coda of "Picture Perfect (In Your Eyes)" is nearly as long as the body of the song itself, and even worse, it features a spoken word poem read by one of the album female backing vocalists. (Simply that the album has female backing vocalists in the first place is a warning sign for this brand of alternative metal call it "November Rain" syndrome, but really, a poem? Why not just call the guy from the Moody Blues? He can't be busy.) It may well have the intended effect of prolonging the band chart life temporarily, but Division sounds if anything like the exact opposite of artistic maturation.

Knoxville, Tennessee 10 Years formed in 2002 around vocalist Jesse Hasek, drummer Brian Vodinh, guitarists Matt Wantland and Tater, and bassist Lewis Cosby. The band released the Killing All That Holds You EP themselves a year later, and started to develop a local following for their Tool and Deftones influenced alternative metal. Killing All That Holds You was eventually expanded with four additional studio tracks and some live acoustic material. 10 Years signed with Republic/Universal, and in August 2005 their major label debut appeared. "The Autumn Effect" was produced by Josh Abraham (Staind, Static-X), and set up a 10 Years tour with Disturbed that ran through the fall.

In Flames - Sense of Purpose (2008)

2010-01-31T23:47:00.003-06:00

Frantic metal band In Flames can deliver a good melody around the militaristic, precision drumming of Daniel Svensson and the occasionally guttural yelps of frontman Anders Fridén. Whether it's a tight, polished effort like "The Mirror's Truth" with traces of classic metal like Iron Maiden or especially Judas Priest, In Flames definitely bring a sense of purpose to this record. From there, the group increase the Metallica ish franticness with "Disconnected" that relies on heavy guitar riffs but a far lighter, almost airy chorus and bridge. This is improved upon later on the album as "I'm the Highway" takes the record to another level. Probably the heaviest track is "Condemned," that again is driven by Svensson and the guitar tandem of Jesper Strömblad and Björn Gelotte. These less intense moments are rarities, though, as "Sleepless Again" almost contains slight "emo" characteristics throughout. The group truly strike gold with the deliberate but delectable "Alias" that brings to mind classic Led Zeppelin in the various twists and turns it takes. Following a beefy, brawn saturated "Move Through Me," In Flames save the crowning achievement for the lengthy, winding "The Chosen Pessimist," which opens like a reflective, introspective piece of music by Sigur Rós before finding its way effortlessly. In Flames continue to make their mark by being rooted in a strong metal or hard rock foundation but being musically and creatively inquisitive enough to seek out something more.

In Flames - Soundtrack to Your Escape (2004)

2010-01-31T23:10:00.006-06:00

In Flames was certainly under the extreme metal microscope upon the release of Soundtrack to Your Escape and its predecessor, Reroute to Remain. The band had the potential to crack the metal underground wide to the mainstream, existing on the cusp of international stardom with its progressive extrapolations upon the Swedish metal genre they helped create. Fact is, Soundtrack to Your Escape exists to further polarize In Flames fan base "Touch of Red" and opening cut "Fiend [R]" are their heaviest riff monsters since Colony, which blatantly contrast "The Quiet Place," which is jammed with cascading guitar melodies and a thick, sticky chorus which, in a just world, would make for a rock radio smash. Anders Fridén is again using a myriad of vocal styles, including his mid-range death rasp (see "Dead Alone," with its old school Swedish riffs seamlessly morphing into melodic passages), an awkward clean croon ("Like You Better Dead," "My Sweet Shadow"), and an electronically enhanced warble, all of which are multi-tracked for many choruses proving that Fridén may be In Flames most powerful weapon now that the band trademark ornate guitar flights are used somewhat sparingly. Some may cry foul when confronted by a lush ballad like "Evil in a Closet" or the relatively straightforward riffing of "Dial 595-Escape," but old school whiners will be equally appeased with a barnburner like "In Search for I." Bottom line, In Flames are growing as songwriters with every passing release, and the debate over the style in which the tunes are conveyed really seems secondary when confronted with such a strong and cohesive album. Soundtrack to Your Escape will disappoint those looking to find fault with the leaders of the Swedish pack, while open minded purveyors of metal will revel in the album careful balance of credibility and accessibility.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the Ramones (2007)

Punk rock parents with a hankering for offbeat nursery music might find what they're looking for in Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of the Ramones. An ethereal chorus of glockenspiels, toy pianos, sleigh bells, and synthesizers interpret songs like "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Pinhead," and "Teenage Lobotomy" to good (and at times hilarious) effect. There's nothing revelatory or particularly interesting about these renditions, but they do manage to unearth some surprisingly melodic elements of the Ramones' otherwise brash and stompy music. Other songs on this collection include "We're a Happy Family" and, yes, "Beat on the Brat."

Soundtrack - Mischief Invasion (2004)

2010-01-31T16:20:00.004-06:00

B-sides a serviceable remix of Archetype from Fear Factory 2004 album of the same name Mischief Invasion is largely instrumental populated by content that sounds cribbed from a stock music agency. Focusing on a vaguely aggressive electronic sound it's the sort of fourth tier big beat that a Spike TV producer would license for the backgrounds of a lowest common denominator reality show. Which is appropriate as this is the soundtrack to an DVD also called Mischief Invasion. It follows a gang of miscreant auto enthusiasts as they crash Europe annual Cannonball Run car rally. This isn't important science or even very entertaining for non gearheads. The rub: Jaguars are destroyed and farts are lit and crappy electronica is along for every ride

The Beatles - Rubber Soul (2009)

2010-01-26T20:11:00.004-06:00

While the Beatles still largely stuck to love songs on Rubber Soul, the lyrics represented a quantum leap in terms of thoughtfulness, maturity, and complex ambiguities. Musically, too, it was a substantial leap forward, with intricate folk-rock arrangements that reflected the increasing influence of Dylan and the Byrds. The group and George Martin were also beginning to expand the conventional instrumental parameters of the rock group, using a sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," Greek like guitar lines on "Michelle" and "Girl," fuzz bass on "Think for Yourself," and a piano made to sound like a harpsichord on the instrumental break of "In My Life." While John and Paul were beginning to carve separate songwriting identities at this point, the album is full of great tunes, from "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" and "Michelle" to "Girl," "I'm Looking Through You," "You Won't See Me," "Drive My Car," and "Nowhere Man" (the last of which was the first Beatle song to move beyond romantic themes entirely). George Harrison was also developing into a fine songwriter with his two contributions, "Think for Yourself" and the Byrds-ish "If I Needed Someone."

The Beatles - Help! (2009)

2010-01-26T19:59:00.003-06:00

Considering that Help! functions as the Beatles' fifth album and as the soundtrack to their second film, while filming, they continued to release non LP singles on a regular basis, it's not entirely surprising that it still has some of the weariness of Beatles for Sale. Again, they pad the album with covers, but the Bakersfield bounce of "Act Naturally" adds new flavor (along with an ideal showcase for Ringo amiable vocals) and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" gives John an opportunity to flex his rock & roll muscle. George is writing again and if his two contributions don't touch Lennon and McCartney originals, they hold their own against much of their British pop peers. Since Lennon wrote a third more songs than McCartney, it's easy to forgive a pair of minor numbers ("It's Only Love," "Tell Me What You See"), especially since they're overshadowed by four great songs. His Dylan infatuation holds strong, particularly on the plaintive "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and the title track, where the brash arrangement disguises Lennon desperation. Driven by an indelible 12 string guitar, "Ticket to Ride" is another masterpiece and "You're Going to Lose That Girl" is the kind of song McCartney effortlessly tosses off, which he does with the jaunty "The Night Before" and "Another Girl," two very fine tunes that simply update his melodic signature. He did much better with "I've Just Seen a Face," an irresistible folk-rock gem, and "Yesterday," a simple, beautiful ballad whose arrangement, an acoustic guitar supported by a string quartet, and composition suggested much more sophisticated and adventurous musical territory, which the group immediately began exploring with Rubber Soul.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (2009)

2010-01-12T22:30:00.005-06:00

A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all original material, and the first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric 12 string guitar (on the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night," for instance). The distinctive sound of the 12 string inspired countless guitarists including Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds. The film from which these songs hail remains a classic combination of happy 60's naiveté and nascent hipster wit. Many of the most important rock bands to emerge in the latter half of the 60's came into being because of A Hard Day's Night's irresistible vibrancy. The tunes flow like the finest red wine, as the title track leads to the glorious harmonica of "I Should Have Known Better" and the powerfully poignant "If I Fell."

The production value on Clayman is instantly apparent; the album initial sounds jump right out and pull the listener in, conveying a power and excitement that lasts the duration of the disc. The songs on Clayman are what ultimately sell In Flames, though. With some of their best writing yet, they continue to tighten up a sound that could please fans of everyone from Queensrÿche to Arch Enemy to maybe even Satyricon. With their blend of speed, melody, and pensive aggression, In Flames is indeed hard to pin down. Clayman at its core, though, is invigorating, well executed metal that, dare it be said, is a fun listen; this probably isn't far from what the band intends.

A master of progressive death metal or the "Gothenberg sound" practiced by many a Swedish band, In Flames delivers one of its best efforts with 1997 "Whoracle".

Indeed, some tracks are much better than others on Whoracle. Softer numbers like "Jester Script Transfigured," with its half acoustic Metallica ballad vibe, could probably have been left off this otherwise powerful recording. There are also some rather unnecessary vocal histrionics, most notably on "Worlds Within the Margin," but this kind of overcooked "singing" really comes with the death metal territory. None of these sour notes manages to damage Whoracle, and the record has ultimately become accepted in the highly factional underground metal community as an important release not only for In Flames, but for the entire melodic death metal movement.

After leaving Ceremonial Oath to form In Flames, founding member and guitarist Jesper Strömblad saw this project as a way of expressing his songwriting creativity rather than being stuck in the background. With the added influences of Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, along with his own touch of aggressive metal that overwhelmed his home country of Sweden, Wrong Again Records took notice and released In Flames 1993 debut, Lunar Strain. In the tradition of many other Swedish metal acts, In Flames also had a revolving lineup that changed year after year, not that this was going to stop them from releasing their next album, Subterranean (1994), before signing to Nuclear Blast Records in 1996.

After putting out The Jester Race album later that year, followed by 1997 Whoracle, In Flames lineup was finally settled with Björn Gelotte (drums), Anders Fridén (vocals), Peter Iwers (bass), and Daniel Svensson (drums) in addition to Strömblad. To celebrate, the band released its sixth album, Colony, in 1999. Clayman followed in the same vein the next year, and the band even managed to keep the same lineup for this release. The live Tokyo Showdown was released to promote their tour in 2001. Reroute to Remain arrived in 2002, followed by Soundtrack to Your Escape in 2004 and Come Clarity in 2006.

The Beatles - With the Beatles (2009)

2010-01-08T23:06:00.004-06:00

With the Beatles is a sequel of the highest order, one that betters the original by developing its own tone and adding depth. While it may share several similarities with its predecessor, there is an equal ratio of covers to originals, a familiar blend of girl group, Motown, R&B, pop, and rock, and a show tune that interrupts the flow of the album. With the Beatles is a better record that not only rocks harder, it's considerably more sophisticated. They could deliver rock & roll straight ("I Wanna Be Your Man") or twist it around with a little Latin lilt ("Little Child," one of their most underrated early rockers); Lennon and McCartney wrote sweet ballads (the achingly gorgeous "All I've Got to Do") and sprightly pop/rockers ("All My Loving") with equal aplomb; and the propulsive rockers ("It Won't Be Long") were as richly melodic as slower songs ("Not a Second Time"). Even George Harrison first recorded song, "Don't Bother Me," is a standout, with its wonderfully foreboding minor key melody. Since the Beatles covered so much ground with their originals, their covers pale slightly in comparison, particularly since they rely on familiar hits (only "Devil in Her Heart" qualifies as a forgotten gem). But for every "Roll Over Beethoven," a surprisingly stiff reading of the Chuck Berry standard, there is a sublime moment, such as Lennon soaring interpretation of "You Really Got a Hold on Me," and the group always turns in thoroughly enjoyable performances. Still, the heart of With the Beatles lies not in the covers, but the originals, where it was clear that, even at this early stage, the Beatles were rapidly maturing and changing, turning into expert craftsmen and musical innovators.

The Beatles - Please Please Me (2009)

2010-01-08T22:48:00.005-06:00

Once "Please Please Me" rocketed to number one, the Beatles rushed to deliver a debut album, bashing out Please Please Me in a day. Decades after its release, the album still sounds fresh, precisely because of its intense origins. As the songs rush past, it's easy to get wrapped up in the sound of the record itself without realizing how the album effectively summarizes the band eclectic influences. Naturally, the influences shine through their covers, all of which are unconventional and illustrate the group superior taste. There's a love of girl groups, vocal harmonies, sophisticated popcraft, schmaltz, R&B, and hard driving rock & roll, which is enough to make Please Please Me impressive, but what makes it astonishing is how these elements converge in the originals. "I Saw Here Standing There" is one of their best rockers, yet it has surprising harmonies and melodic progressions. "Misery" and "There's a Place" grow out of the girl group tradition without being tied to it. A few of their originals, such as "Do You Want to Know a Secret" and the pleasantly light "P.S. I Love You," have dated slightly, but endearingly so, since they're infused with cheerful innocence and enthusiasm. And there is an innocence to Please Please Me. The Beatles may have played notoriously rough dives in Hamburg, but the only way you could tell that on their first album was how the constant gigging turned the group into a tight, professional band that could run through their set list at the drop of a hat with boundless energy. It's no surprise that Lennon had shouted himself hoarse by the end of the session, barely getting through "Twist and Shout," the most famous single take in rock history. He simply got caught up in the music, just like generations of listeners did.

The Beatles: Stereo Box Set (2009)

2010-01-08T22:07:00.010-06:00

The Beatles always stood apart from their peers, a self evident statement that sadly extended to the treatment of their catalog in the digital age. Where all their peers from the Byrds to the Who have had their catalogs remastered and reissued in deluxe editions, sometimes several times, the Beatles remained stuck in the early days of digital, their 14 albums plus Past Masters singles collection remaining untouched since 1987. Anniversaries came and went, but no remasters arrived until the release of the video game The Beatles Rockband pushed a long overdue revamping of the band entire catalog into the stores on 9-9-09. This reissue campaign corrects almost all the problems of the original 1987 CDs: the sound and artwork are improved, and all the original mono and stereo mixes finally see the light of day. Naturally, it's possible to quibble about some details of the presentation, particularly the decision to split the reissue into two separate box sets, one covering the stereo mixes and one the mono mixes, with only the stereo mixes available as individual discs (it's still possible to complain that the albums do not add era-specific singles or outtakes, but such expansions were never really in the cards), but both boxes still constitute the best Beatles by far. Crucially, it's also inarguably the best sounding Beatles music ever released, robust and rich even on the earliest rock & roll. None of the albums have been remixed, Although Help! and Rubber Soul retain Martin 1987 mixes, the original stereo mixes are bonuses on the mono set, so this doesn't shock the way the Yellow Submarine soundtrack did with its reimagined stereo mixes. Nevertheless, these remasters surely do surprise with their clarity and depth, with each album feeling bigger and fuller than the previous CD incarnation, but not artificially so. It's not that these are pumped up on digital steroids; it's that the veil has been lifted, so everything seems full and fresh. Appropriately, there's more to savor from Help! onward, as the Beatles' productions grew ambitious, but Please Please Me, With the Beatles, and A Hard Day's Night all have a strong punch, while Beatles for Sale is warmer than the previous disc.

As a package, the stereo box is slightly unwieldy, it's a large, vertical set with two stacks of discs in slick cardboard sleeves piled on top of each other. No extra book is included with the set, but each disc has its own booklet with dry, straightforward liner notes detailing the recording process instead of analyzing the music. If anything about the set could be called disappointing, it's the mini documentaries attached to each disc as Quicktime files and collected on a DVD bonus for the box. "Mini documentary" may even be stretching what these are: they're three to five infomercials about the albums, not much more informative than the notes themselves. Nevertheless, these do offer annotation, something sorely lacking from the first CDs, and they do replicate the original notes, in the case of Magical Mystery Tour, including the entire storybook; in the case of Pepper, all the 20th anniversary annotation is added, finally bringing the Beatles to the same standard for reissues that every other major (and most minor) bands have had for years now. And the story, at least for the stereo box, is not the packaging, it's the glorious sound that makes this such a treat. There's also no question that those who waited 22 years to hear a better version of the Beatles will not be disappointed (although they may still wonder why it took so long for the Fabs to be treated as they deserve).

Light This City - Stormchaser (2008)

2010-01-07T23:45:00.002-06:00

There's something decidedly anticlimactic about an album whose creators have already parted ways by the time it arrives on record store shelves, and this turned out to be the case for Light This City "Stormchaser" their fourth long player and, as it turned out, also their last. At least the San Francisco melodic deathsters made their swan song count, though, by concocting a very solid new batch of reliably violent, yet surprisingly catchy headbangers like the evocative title track, the fleet fingered neo-thrasher, "The Anhedonia Epidemic" (reminiscent of At the Gates), and the particularly memorable "A Desperate Resolution" (boasting even more guitar licks to die for). Light This City also have an amazing knack for sweeping guitar harmonies, a quality they share with Sweden Arch Enemy, along with having that all too rare female frontwoman (Laura Nichol) capable of roaring as fearsomely as any man, and they're not afraid to use it, as displayed on additional standouts like "Beginning with Release" and "Sand and Snow." Obviously, much like Light This City previous albums, Stormchaser music menu isn't all that unique, per se, and certainly anything but cutting edge, but in a genre often ruled by brawn instead of brains, their focus on writing songs one can generally remember after five minutes is not to be underestimated. And in order to mark their final farewell with a few special treats, the group brought in "Testament" legend Chuck Billy to trade vocals with Nichol on the pulverizing thrasher "Firehaven," and the Funeral Pyre John Strachan for "Collector Part 2: Donor." With all this going for it, it's no wonder that Prosthetic Records chose to release, rather than shelve Stormchaser forever, when Light This City decided to call it a career; a career to which it can now provide a very respectable epitaph.

Light This City - Facing the Thousand (2006)

2010-01-07T23:24:00.006-06:00

Facing the Thousand is the third album from San Francisco outfit Light This City and the group second for Prosthetic Records, which is quickly seeing its faith and investment repaid by bandmembers whose rate of improvement nearly matches the pace of their playing. After a majestic orchestrated synthesizer intro, the title track opens proceedings at a characteristically ferocious clip, democratically representing the so called New Wave of American Heavy Metal with elements of death, thrash, metalcore, and even a little black metal, if you listen closely enough. Outstanding vocalist Laura Nichol is largely responsible for the latter, in fact, as she spit rasps lyrical venom betwixt her more guttural deathly growls throughout the ensuing mayhem. All the while, her bandmates seek to shine a little light amidst the suffocating darkness via some Gothenburg-flavored harmonies that elevate the likes of "Cradle for a King," "The Unwelcome Savior," "Maddening Storm," and "City of Snares" (reminiscent of Sweden the Crown) to highlight status. On others, such as "Exile" (borderline power metal, minus the clean vocals, and featuring a rare, deliberate finale), "The Eagle," and "Tracks of Decay" (both of them copycats of In Flames and At the Gates), that same melodic insistence respectively becomes almost too distracting and rather derivative, so there's obviously a limit for everything. Also, the slightest hint of repetition does set in after about half a dozen of these, mostly full-throttle blast beaters, even though, pound for pound, they're still far more distinctive and engaging than the inexplicably more popular Black Dahlia Murder, whose vocalist, Trevor Strnad, actually guests on the (you guessed it) savagely one dimensional "Fear of Heights." All things considered, by the time Facing the Thousand thrashes to a finish on the furious blastbeats of "Like Every Songs Our Last," it's apparent that Light This City could still do with a little more consistency and originality, but they clearly have a head start on most of their direct competition this side of the Atlantic, whether consumers have realized it or not.

Light This City - Remains of the Gods (2005)

2010-01-07T23:03:00.004-06:00

Light This City arguably came into their own with this release, which, coincidentally, was also their first album for Prosthetic Records, by striking upon the two pronged formula that would characterize their particular mix of melodic death metal henceforth: velocity and bombast. The first permeates every song so completely and compulsively (as indeed it would on every one of the band albums) that their inexorable intensity would simply overpower the senses without the second timely punctuations, which really help to give shape and temper emotions during standouts like the opening title cut, the excellent midsection riffs of "Obituary," and the brilliant Gothenburg-style staccato picking of "The Hunt." Kudos, too, to vocalist Laura Nichol, who compensates for her relatively indistinct (though always impassioned) death growl with thoughtful lyrics like those of "Letter to My Abuser" and "Your Devoted Victim," which address matters of mental and physical cruelty from a refreshingly female point of view, at least in the macho world of heavy metal. But a distinctly weaker second half, marked by more of the same über thrashers and an unimpressive instrumental conclusion unwisely named "The Last Catastrophe," proves that Light This City still needed a little more experience and maturation to make their inspiration match the boundless energy and physical stamina displayed from start to finish on albums such as this.

A speedy thrash metal band with death metal overtones, Light This City are primarily notable for being one of the only bands in their chosen style with a female lead singer, the dynamic and impressively leather-lunged Laura Nichol. Formed in San Francisco in 2002 while several members were still in high school, the original lineup of Light This City consisted of Nichol on vocals, guitarists Tyler Gamlen and Steven Shirley, bassist Mike Dias, and drummer Ben Murray. This lineup recorded Light This City's debut, The Hero Cycle, but by the time the album was released on the Reflections of Ruins label in the fall of 2003, Gamlen and Shirley had been replaced by Brian Forbes and Steve Hoffman. That lineup of the band signed to the respected metal indie Prosthetic Records for their second album, 2005's Remains of the Gods. Further lineup changes followed after that release, with Dias replaced by Jon Frost and new rhythm guitarist Ryan Hansen taking over for Hoffman. Light This City's third album, Facing the Thousand, was released in the fall of 2006.

Mudvayne - Lost and Found (2005)

2010-01-05T23:11:00.004-06:00

It's been three years for Mudvayne, three years when metal started to reject its "Rap" and "Nu" prefixes. At first, Lost and Found reflects that realignment. Vocalist Chad Gray and his mates have nixed the nicknames and makeup for their third Epic full length, and they try to focus on songs instead of heavy music shtick. However, they equate getting real with the melodramatic plead that interrupts the razor-sharp main part of "Choices," and Gray can't overcome lines like "IMN"'s "No one/No one could ever understand/This life." The song is about suicide, which is very serious. But yelling "Fuck this shit!" over thudding rhythms just isn't very powerful anymore. They nail it on opener "Determined" one of Mudvayne all time strongest tracks, it's a fist swinging blast of modernized thrash. But Lost and Found soon falls into the familiar, busting no one understands me lyrics and matching moments of refreshing rawness to stretches of stereotypical "corporate metal," a non genre that's risen up to accept loud rock refugees and the harder side of Post-Grunge. The energy in "Determined" and "Just" is sapped by the meandering "TV Radio" and "Fall into Sleep," and ultimately Mudvayne gets lost between thrash and diluted Slipknot devotion.

Mudvayne

2010-01-05T22:31:00.004-06:00

Heavy metal quartet Mudvayne formed in Peoria, IL, in 1996, its members adopting the unusual pseudonyms sPaG (M. McDonough) (drums), Gurrg (G. Tribbett) (guitar), and Kud (Chad Gray) (vocals). The group original bassist was replaced after two years by Ryknow (Ryan Martinie). During their development, the bandmembers began the practice of applying bizarre makeup. After self-releasing their first album, Kill, I Oughta, they were signed by Epic Records and recorded their major label debut, L.D. 50, which was released in August 2000 shortly after the end of their first national tour opening for Slipknot. The album later went gold and earned Mudvayne the first ever MTV2 Video Award at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Mudvayne continued touring and reissued their self-released debut EP, Kill, I Oughta, in November 2001 as The Beginning of All Things to End. A year later the band returned with its official follow up, The End of All Things to Come, which was recorded at Minneapolis Pachyderm Studios with Tool producer David Bottrill. With a new album came new personas, this time as space aliens. The bandmembers changed their names accordingly, taking the new monikers of Chüd (Kud), Güüg (Gurrg), R-üD (Ryknow), and Spüg (sPaG). They embarked on a European tour, arriving back stateside in July to join the Summer Sanitarium shed tour, featuring such heavyweights as Metallica and Linkin Park. In 2005, the band released Lost and Found, their third album for Epic. In September 2007, Mudvayne announced they would allow fans to vote on the band website to determine the track selection for the compilation By the People, for the People, released the following month. The all new full-length New Game arrived in November 2008, followed six months later by an eponymous 2009 effort.

With stated influences like Mineral and the Promise Ring and a name like 1997 it's pretty obvious with which wave of emo the hearts of this Chicago quintet lie. Prior to forming the band in October 2005 members of 1997 had spent time in area outfits like Constance, Funeral Etiquette, and October Fall, but nothing felt quite right until everyone started jamming together in a suburban Lombard attic apartment with acoustic guitars and a keyboard. Vocalist Kevin Thomas, drummer Nick Coleman, guitarist Caleb Pepp, singer/keyboardist Kerri Mack, and bassist Alan Goffinski began writing and practicing for a few months before eventually playing out shows around town. The fresh faced crew inevitably drew the attention of local indie powerhouse Victory Records and officially inked a deal with them only a year after forming. 1997s debut full-length, "A Better View of the Rising Moon", followed in April 2007, by which time Alida Marroni had replaced Mack. A year later, the band released its sophomore album, On the Run.
