Still, though, looking forward into the new year, it’s always nice to know that there’s a new gaming experience around the corner to sink our teeth in to, and boy, 2015 is certainly not set to disappoint.…
We are sitting down with Kevin Debler, who has a new title – The Adventures of Ero Unsughn – The Silver Band – out now. Thanks for taking a moment out of your schedule. Not a problem at all. Glad we can speak.
The visual quality of Starry Eyes is crystal clear with nice separation between the foreground/background elements.; The colors are realistic while still extending nicely from the screen, while a similarly crisp audio ensures that every line and noise from the film can be heard. Starry Eyes is a horror film that looks to expand what the style is capable of; Sarah begins the film trapped in a dead-end job. The…

Fairy Dance is a twinkling composition that is able to tell more of a story than a vocal-heavy composition. Karran’s piano work here is delicate, strong, and always interesting – listeners will be set adrift on the compositions that begin his latest composition, Forgotten Road. Angel of Tullagh Strand is much more introspective than precedent tracks on Forgotten Road, showcasing a wholly different set of sounds and approaches taken by…

Hello, David. Your latest album is Walking to Dreamland. What significance does the title hold for you? Perhaps it is about the idea that fulfillment comes from the journey not from arriving at the destination. We are always focused on what happens day to day, yet unexpected events,moments of emptiness, impact and change our lives. By nature, we bounce back.
The sheer amount of intensity that Omar Bowing brings to his first album will ensure that listeners stay at the edges of their seats from beginning to end. Virus is a track that has every side – screamed-out vocals, splashy drums, and Machine Head meets Coal Chamber styled arrangements – working towards a specific outcome. The dense and deep approach that is taken during the onset of Earthquake showcases Bowing’s…

We’re sitting down with Shattrholik. Let’s get right to it – What’s your story? I’m born and raised in Wairoa, Hawkes Bay New Zealand. I’m just a typical hard working new zealander making the most of the opportunities overseas. I get along with everyone. I see things from a different angle. Very respectful to others. I’m always happy. I love music – that’s me.
Hello is the latest single from Cole Phoenix, and is a track that ties together past and present in pop music in a way that will ensure that listeners will be able to find something to dig. The vocal ability of Phoenix represents the focal point of Hello, and it is further boosted through an eighties-tinged instrumentation that is influenced by ZZ Top, Yaz, and Dead or Alive. To keep…
