(recenzija) The Real McKenzies – Float Me Boat(Fat Wreck Chords)

Leave a comment

Voljeli ga ili ne, Paul McKenzie pegla svoje već godinama, mijenjajući ponekad postavu benda usred turneje kao što je prije nekoliko godina pobacao usred turneje sve članove benda osim onog ogromnog lika na gajdama ili kak se već zovu i prikupio neku ad hoc postavu i nastavio odmah dalje svirati koncerte. Jedna stvar koja mu se mora priznati je volja i snaga u tim godinama. Ja sam ovaj bend gledao prije pet ili slično godina na PRH i nije bio loš gig, ali nisam ja baš jako fan ovog folk ili celtic punka kako zovu tu vrstu punk bendova u kiltovima. Ali, The Real McKenzies imaju neke odlične pjesme koje nisu jako nabijene celtic stilom, već više melodičnim punk rockom, a sve takve se nalaze na ovom albumu koji je greatest hits opus i sadrži 23 pjesme iz bogate karijere ovog benda baziranog u Vancouveru i ovdje se nalaze svi favoriti sa setlista koncerata, možda bi pokoju izbacio, a poneku dodao, ali uglavnom je izbor doba. Kao što rekoh, neke mi ne pašu, one koje su više orijentirane na folk štih i gajde, ali one koje su više orijentirane na melodični punk rock i gitare su baš odlične. Ovo je odličan album za playlistu fanova benda i odličan početnički album za one koji su se tek susreli s ovim bendom i postali ili postati će fanovi.

Danish metal band STEELBOURNE sign with Wormholedeath for the reissue of ‘A Tale As Old As Time’!

Leave a comment

Danish Metal Band STEELBOURNE have signed with Wormholedeath a licensing deal for the reissue of their album “A Tale As Old As Time”, due for re-release on April 29th, 2022 worldwide.

Steelbourne stated, “We are beyond excited to initiate a joint adventure with WHD and look forward to introducing the world to our classic heavy metal, with a contemporary twist. We are confident that the WHD team consists of rock stars who can help us take the Steelbourne name to the next level. A Tale as Old as Time was written and recorded at home, first and foremost for us (the band), but with the reception we have received so far, we simply have to share it with more people. Carlo and the team have our complete trust in this endeavor.”

“A Tale As Old As Time”
The album itself is classic metal at its best, inspired by giants such as Maiden, Priest, Helloween, Accept, Primal Fear, Candlemass and many more.
We do, however, trust that you can hear the originality in the 7 tracks, which all tell their own unique story – thematically poking at religious events throughout history. We are extremely proud of this album and are excited for the future together with WHD.

With several releases and a plethora of gigs to their name from previous constellations, Steelbourne set out to conquer new land for danish metal and prove that the new generation still writes classics!

Steelbourne was initially a lockdown studio-project, designed to finish unreleased material by their previous band. As the writing escalated, the foundation for “A tale as old as time” was built – and a single spark reignited inferno. Steelbourne honor the legends of old, being deeply inspired by giants such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Candlemass and Accept while incorporating contemporary elements into their music, aiming to provide a modern take on classic heavy metal.
Having played large venues both domestically and internationally, the band is no stranger to touring life either, looking forward to getting back on the road.

Steelbourne are:
Jacob Vestergaard Druedahl Bruun – Guitars
Troels Rasmussen – Lead Vocals
Benjamin Andreassen – Bass-guitar, Backing vocals
Simon Klem Kannegaard – Guitars
Simon Sorsback – Drums & Backing vocals

Swiss post-doom trio Kalkas premiered new official music video ‘Au milieu du feu, il est leur guide’.

Leave a comment

Naturalistic Post-doom – including stoner and psych-rock elements – trio from Lausane and emerging from the amazing Swiss scene in 2019, Kalkas is about to release its debut full-length album called ‘Envoûtante sève’ and planned on LP & Digital on April 8th through Table Basse Records.

 In the meantime, the band just premiered a first glance from this forthcoming album with the official music video of “Au milieu du feu, il est leur guide” available right now on YouTube.

Beyond its musical dimension, Kalkas develops a conceptual universe around issues related to climate change and the anger this causes among the various members of the band.

In a romantic and dualistic approach, with some points of naturalistic contemplation, this album offers a first dive into the subdued atmosphere of a dark autumnal and forest mist. To a sound saturated with existential angst, the instruments respond to the call of Kalkas, a deep entity with a vague design for our humanities.

Punctuated with narrative and poetic vocal passages, the album ‘Envoûtante Sève’ offers a first vision of this new world, under construction.
