Leave a comment

Norrsinnt, a solo folk metal artist from Sweden, has joined forces with other scandinavian folk metal artists such as Utmarken, Fejd, Myrkgrav and Byrdi to record “Skogsmakt”, a 9 minute long powerful epos celebrating the power of nature, mainly focusing on the forest covered lands of the northern hemisphere.

This track takes you through the vast scandinavian forest, displaying its might and power as well as the beauty and stillness, by combining elements of a broad spectrum based on folk music and metal. It can be described as a miniature folk metal symphony, or the final encore of a scandinavian folk metal musical!

The release consists of a digital single and a video and is set to be released on May 18th, 2018.

As a staple to their live set, “Bills To Pay” is also the first track the band jammed on when they first got together. Recorded at Toronto’s acclaimed Phase One Studios (Rush, Alice Cooper, The Tragically Hip) and produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Murray Daigle (Neverest, Platinum Blonde, Serena Ryder).

Having released a demo EP – recorded in Massachusetts with former Bang Tango guitarist, Scott LaFlamme- and a live album in 2017, One In The Chamber is gearing up to release their debut studio EP – recorded at Phase One Studios with Murray Daigle at the helm – this coming summer. “Bills To Pay” is the first of what’s to come.

(record review)REMARK-“Keep Running e.p.”

Leave a comment

Russia is a huge country with huge and awesome proactive underground scene. Coming from Moscow, this time REMARK is here for me to listen and review for this zine.

122614

This e.p. contains four songs, two of them being the band´s own songs, and two covers being “Shout” originally by Tears for Fears, and other “Too close” by Alex Clare. The first song “Comeback” was not something I liked very much because I never loved grunge when it was big in the 90-ies and this song sounds just too grungy for me, like Stone Temple Pilots or bad version of Alice in Chains. The second song “Purple Haze” was also grungy but not too much and has a nice melody making it enjoyable and the best song on this record. Tears for Fears cover was okay, predictable, nothing special but okay. The other cover I have never heard originally, so I can˙t judge but I guess it was also okay. Too grungy for me, but maybe fans of such music will love it!
