The clarity in which Provoked start out their “Night of the Livid Punks” really seems to show a different sound than was present in their “Infant in the Womb of Warfare”. New vocalist Kerri has a different sound to eir vocals that really seem sedate in wake of Scaba’s work, which are bolstered well when a second or third vocalist joins in . In fact, the stylistic change in regards…
olume 1 of NYC Sucks, the completely free comp we’ve compiled to spotlight some of the best metal bands currently dominating the New York metal scene. This volume features fourteen songs by as many bands, who run the gamut of genres, from death to tech to prog to grind to black to hardcore to doom and more. We truly feel that this is a great sampling of all that New…
I honestly thought that this disc was skipping when the drum line to “Dead Hopes” started out. This drum line (laid down by Joey) is the equivalent to those jokes on shows like the Family Guy that move beyond the comfort level of the Aristophanesian-influenced “trio” jokes (something is funny when it happens to an individual three times). The humor in Family Guy’s jokes (and why exactly Joey’s drum line…

Underground rap is always really hit or miss, and Proverb’s self-titled single, “Proverbs” exemplifies that to a t. With a loud synth line struggling to overtake Proverb’s flow. In fact, Proverb seems a little compressed in eir music, with the lush synth choking eir slowly. The hook is found on the earliest seconds of the disc and really amounts to a premature ejaculation on the tack. While Proverb tries to…

PUJOL was raised in Tullahoma, Tennessee, where he lived in a haunted house which sat one block away from the wrong side of the tracks. He spent his formative years scribbling on walls, shredding behind closed doors, and riding around in cars with older kids. He took his first communion at 13 and secretly drank his first beer shortly thereafter in St. Cecilia’s bathroom, emerging an identity-inclusive Peter Panentheist. When…

The back and forth of Propagandhi during “A Speculative Fiction” really shows a maturation of two distinct styles of music; an emotive type of rock and the straight-forward type of rock. These styles are deftly maneuvered into a cohesive sound by Glen’s voice, and “A Speculative Fiction” is a track that has a classic, Bad Religion type of sound while still showing some of the metal/punk fusion that catapulted Sum41…

Different blips forcing their way from the periphery to the mainline of things, The Prodigy are back with their “Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned”. The global flow of “Spitfire” comes through with the middle-Eastern sound of the female backing vocals, and the male presence in the track is reminiscent of Zach from Rage Against The Machine. Continuing the same general sound that as found in “Spitfire”, “Girls” doesn’t honestly contribute much…
Sam Sneed may just be one of the forces in rap music that has been slept on over the course of the last few decades. On “Street Scholars”, Sneed looks to come out from behind the curtain. Despite bringing out the big guns on “U Better Recognize”, Sneed’s goal with “Street Scholars” is to give some up and coming rappers, R&B artists, and other musicians a chance to shine. What…

Primal Scream always surprises me. When I last heard them, they were doing an electronic type of thing (and I think that was about 2000). This time, the band has gotten onto the retro rock bandwagon and ion “Country Girl”, have made a track that even The Rolling Stones would be proud of. This retro style presents itself again during “Nitty Gritty”, and Primal Scream seems to revel in this…

The real-life exploits of John Wayne Gacy far outstrip in terms of horror any film or any similar type of suspense or thriller celluloid, so it only makes sense that there should be a film made detailing Jason Moss’ look into Gacy’s life and crime. For those not familiar with Moss, ey was a student of criminology (related to criminal justice), and attempted to provide some sort of look into…

Spike has a definite nineties sound to start out “There’s No Sound In Flutes”. However, the disc starts off with “I Know Everything”, a track that has the arrangements struggling against the vocals for dominance. The instrumental interlude during the track is also something that seems out of lplace during the track, especially when Priggen’s vocals are so full of humanity where the interlude sounds forced or downright cold. Either…
