Finnish rock cello quartet APOCALYPTICA will play a special "mini acoustic set" at Scrape Records in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, followed by a meet-and-greet, on Monday, May 21 at 4 p.m.

Few souls have successfully manipulated their vocals to echo the feel of brutally contused, heartlessly maimed extraterrestrial. Olof Dreijer has, to all extensive purposes, become the benchmark although firmly etching his essence alongside Karin's shadow-enshrouded sibling is Brian Batz, Danish wonk pop polymath and the fluttering ticker behind Sleep Party People . In the wake of an ordinarily sodden bank holiday, with reality now bent back into grim shape sophomore effort We Were Drifting On A Sad Song is precisely what you're most probably hankering for. Besides an extra hour's shuteye perhaps. For Batz here equilibrates the sounds ...

Harbouring a compulsive work ethic to rival any dope nosed rat running the proverbial hamster wheel that is Canary Wharf, it would appear that the time has come for Claire Boucher to play to a significantly more general public for Visions, her third LP in fewer years under her Grimes moniker, bristles with glinting pop hooks to hack open even the most tightly sealed of minds. Esoteric yet accesible, Boucher's baying for blood, bodies, ears and iPods. And it looks as though she'll be taking all she's clamouring for and more. From the sketchy twitch-pop stylings of ...

The ever-capricious, openly extroverted Jamie Stewart would never be heard seeping through crumby speakers in your nearest cornershop coffee stop thus in certain respects latest long-player Always is, as one may accurately envisage, a record bristling with extreme time signatures and oft incongruous instrumentation. However throughout his first effort for Bella Union Stewart delves deeper into the genuinely disquieting disturbia that's long-since haunted his esoteric avant-garde experimentations, rooting out dark passions and deep-seated secrets as he worms, exhuming such stuff from its general unearthliness like legs and limbs reclaimed from cold and crumbled dirt. Having stumbled through Stewart's ...

So while the world didn't curl up into an ever more blob-like ball and quiver until it all ended the moment 2012 struck, the industrial apocalyptica of LA duo Deathday  feels dank enough to coax doomsday out from even the most atheistical of mindsets. Comprised of brothers Alex and Giovanni Guillén, vox redolent of Ariel Pink at his most apathetic are smudged over murky, if metronomic backing on the glorious No Future, half of a split 7" with UK doom mongers The KVB . Like a more mellifluous Factory Floor meddling in the ominous psych of Suicide, we'd recommend ...

Finnish metallers HEVEIN — who feature in their ranks former APOCALYPTICA and current TARJA TURUNEN cellist Max Lilja — have released a new digital EP containing three new songs ("Spineless", "V", "Gentle Anarchy") and a newly mixed version of "Nor" (originally released as a single in 2011).

He sido fan de Apocalyptica desde 4to de primaria; se convirtieron en la primera banda que marcó mi vida. De esas fechas para acá, he tenido la oportunidad de verlos en vivo tres veces, dos de ellas en el Auditorio Nacional y otra en el Metropolitan. Como ustedes entenderán, yo, queriendo tanto a esta banda, [...]
