AUGUST BURNS RED to Assault North America in Support of A DAY TO REMEMBER

2009 was a banner year for metal’s newest royalty, AUGUST BURNS RED.

The album’s praises were sung by tastemaking publications such as Revolver, AP, Outburn and more, further solidifying the ABR’s stature. With that momentum, the band is…

Gallucio â€“ All For You (CD)

The sharp guitar line that starts out â€œCalifornia Jesusâ€, the first track on â€œAll For Youâ€, gives the disc a nice energy with which to work off of. This is needed, especially since Gallucioâ€™s vocals during this track are a little bit slower (while still having an energy of their own, they are bolstered considerably by the guitar work). By the time the chorus hits, Gallucio creates the same type…

Diamanda Galas â€“ La Sepenta Canta (CD)

Call me uncultured, but I donâ€™t see where someone like Cher and Christina Aguilera can be so universally panned and the virtually same thing, exemplified down the years by Bessie Smith and Ella Fitzgerald, and Diamanda can be put into such high regard. Maybe the fact that Diamanda is so much harder to get into, the Thomas Pynchon to Christinaâ€™s JK Rowling. Perhaps it is also that Iâ€™m not cultured…

Future of Forestry â€“ Twilight (CD)

The wide-open compositions of Future of Forestry sound like a blend of current U2, Coldplay, and Delirious. The discâ€™s first track is â€œOpen Wideâ€, and aside from the atmospheric guitar lines, one of the things that individuals can hear easier would have to be the active drums. While the track is not close to pop-rock forms, there are hints of the more United Kingdom-type approach to music that came up…
