I think I said "wow" about a dozen times while listening to HyperDump's debut album Rational Pain . For a disc this good, I am utterly shocked that it hasn't been talked about more by the metal community. The band has an interesting sound which is described in their bio as a cross between Faith No More and Strapping Young Lad - a pretty spot on description if you ask me. Vocalist WS sounds like a French, The Real Thing era Mike Patton, while the rest of the group pull off so many different style changes that it makes for ...

Law suits, break-up, reunion, a hiatus and another reunion. The Cult have survived it all. Founding members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have persevered over the years. Few bands can get way with sounding pretty much the same over the decade, but The Cult can. Their new album Choice of Weapon has their signature guitar sound and the current rhythm section is a rumbling freight train. Astbury's voice may have lost a bit of hits reach, but has retained the dark overtones and anger that made them a household name since the mid-Eighties. Produced by Bob Rock, Choice of ...

A dude could be kinda defeated and detached about AIDS, as prevention is continually undermined by ignorance (cough religion) and poverty, and a cynic might imagine a potential cure getting suppressed or likewise manipulated for profit. After all, eviler shit has happened before. But Faith No More/Imperial Teen superstud Roddy Bottum does not share your [...]

A video retrospective of Gibb's career, starting with this 1963 TV appearance with a 14 year old Robin singing this cover of Lonnie Donnegan's 1960 UK #1 hit... Another early TV performance... One of Robin's best vocals.  This was their first UK #1 hit (#11 in the US): A US top ten hit in 1968 and eventually covered by Faith No More, The Wallflowers, The Dirtbombs and Robbie Williams... The group's first #1 US hit, remarkably it failed to dent the UK charts... This non-album single hit the US top twenty From the Bee Gees' 1975 ...

Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo attempts Deftones, Unsane, Faith No More alt-metal; king of duggadugga just too funkless.

Die britischen Gospel-Popper Soulsavers lassen erstmals in ihren gemeinsamen Langspieler mit Depeche Mode -Frontmann Dave Gahan hineinhören. "The Light The Dead See" wird diesen Freitag über Cooperative Music den Weg in die Plattenregale finden. Mit "Longest Day" präsentierten die Musiker bereits kürzlich einen ersten Höreindruck der Kollaboration ( motor.de berichtete ). Synthie-Pop-Legende Gahan und Soulsavers-Mastermind Rich Machin trafen sich im Anschluss an die letzte gemeinsame Tour beider Bands und begannen zusammen Songs zu schreiben. Das Resultat ist ein episches und vielschichtiges Werk zwischen Gospel, Blues und fast schon filmscore-artigen Symphonien geworden. Mit einem Klick auf das Album-Artwork gelangt ihr zum kostenlosen ...

I don’t really think that’s terrific news or anything. Mostly, I just thought it would be funny to write that headline as though it were terrific news — y’know, the way we might if At the Gates or Faith No More had released a new song. Because Head Charge">American Head Charge aren’t as good as At the [...]

Napalm Records 2012 Kontrust are one those bands where, try as hard as you may, you just can't appreciate how different they are until you actual hear them. While the promo calls them "crossover" (not crossover as in D.R.I., S.O.D., etc) for me at least that particular tag doesn't quite cover the experimental nature of the band's sound. The band was formed in 2001 (out of the ashes of a band called Suicide Mission) and on "Second Hand Wonderland" the group delivers a genre jumping mix that is highlighted by the vocal interactions ...
