Dwarr – Starting Over (CD)

There are CD reissues all the time. However, many of these re-releases still sound as if they were created in an earlier period. Dwarr’s 1984 album, Starting Over, has a timeless quality to it that simply is not present in many of the recordings that are reissued every year. This is because Animals touches upon the different musical currents that were present in 1984and creates an utterly unique and haunting…

Sepultura – Dante XXI (CD)

Sepultura has changed a lot in the last few years. One of the first metal albums that I ever bought was a copy of “Roots Bloody Roots”, and the band seems to have moved well beyond that style in the 6 or 7 years since I picked up that album. There seems to be a lightness among the tracks on “Dante XXI”, one in which the bass is eschewed for…

September is Falling – Self/Titled LP (CD)

Punching through the static nature of emo with an extremely forceful bass line, September is Falling start off their self-titled LP and fill it with a very rhythmic drum line and compelling vocals. With each part of the band fighting for the top of the hill, pushing out its fellow instruments as soon as an opportunity is reached, the bands intensity cannot be understated. The staggered nature of each of…

Dux Xleep (Pillow)

It seems as if a pillow is destined to fail. If one purchases a cheap product, there is a good chance that they will be replacing it after its fibers start to break down. If one spends a little more in the way of money for a down pillow, it will need to be fluffed on a weekly basis from now until it spouts a hole. However, we have received…

SNS Agmatine (Pump)

There are a number of pre-workouts on the market, but there are few that really get down to the core of the pump. Agmatine is first product that we have reviewed that does just that – the pills each contain 250mg of Agmatine Sulfate. This substance is something that is leaps and starts ahead of AAKG or arginine nitrate-containing products, as it directly stimulates the production of Nitric Oxide. There…

Senses Fail – Let It Enfold You (CD)

Pretty much every local emorock band that came out since the release of Senses Fail’s EP has done a cover from the formers retinue, whether it be “187” (Silver in December, The Goodlife) or “Stephen” (Tripping Linda). It is simply not possible to overestimate their influence on the up and coming emo scene, and it is this fact that “Let It Enfold You” is an album that is tremendously important,…

The most obvious change is the presence of her brand new band, aptly named The Almighty Sound. The Almighty Sound is a group of Audra’s close and talented friends including stand-up bassist Joe Ginsberg, guitarist Jarrad Kritzstein, pianist Frank Pedano, drummer Kiel Fehercame,…

Semaphore – Make (CD)

Semaphore “make” an album that is very slow in starting, and has tracks present during “Make” that really start over each time. Thus, when a track like “Childhood Revisited” ends, there is no presumption that Semaphore has already been through this same scheme time and time again in the past. While the compositions (especially during “Drone”) are fairly sedate, this is not to say that they are Spartanly arranged or…

Kodomo – September Sun Remixes EP (CD)

The remix of September Sun by Lumia is a perfect introduction to Kodomo, as it will immediately showcase the emotive force that are typically present in his recordings. I personally like the seemingly conflicting electronic feel and heaviness that is established here; Kodomo is incredibly talented at what he does. While listeners may be afraid of the track’s nearly six-minute run time, Lumia is arranged in such a way that…

Selfmademan – The Daylight Robbery (CD)

Coming bursting out of the gates with a fire that rivals that of Fifteen or Brand New, Selfmademan inflicts their brutal, political vision of screamo on their audience. “Who Will Sing To This” spirals more and more out of control, with a barrage of different instruments coming into play. Slipping a little bit, Jay’s vocals and corresponding guitar work is needlessly plastic during “Listen Closely This Time”, with a breakdown…
