(review) Countin´ Cards – Escape from the ZOO (Fat Wreck Chords)

Leave a comment

Countin´ Cards is the new project by Jesse Sendejas, known for his Days n Daze band that is also on Fat if I am not mistaken, and I think I am not. Well, let us talk about this great album. It offers 9 songs. What I love is diversity of this album and the songs, from ferocious angry hardcore punk of Heads Up 7 Up, across almost nineties pop punk/reggae influenced Shit Show with beautiful dual vocals and mandolin parts, courtesy of Veronica Sendejas, to Learning Curve reminding a bit of Less Than Jake and Nofx, but not as a copy, but in a good way. What is the strength of this record, besides good songwriting are vocals with such an easy transformation from screaming crust anger to great melodies and harmonies fitting perfectly in each part of the song. I would love to see how this band sounds live, I am sure it is fantastic show, energy and this record just brings smile to my face and songs like Wasted Years or 12 Rounds remind me why I love this kind of punk rock so much. Great album!

Leave a comment

“Fragments of Memories” is a track taken from Heterogeneous Andead upcoming album “Chaotic Fragments” due for release on April 8th via Wormholedeath worldwide.HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD is a Melodic & Symphonic Electro Death/Thrash metal band in Tokyo, Japan. The sound is based on Thrash metal with Progressive metal, added the Electronic & Symphonic sounds, and all of them is sung by Mezzo-soprano & female growl voices.
We’ve released one EP & album so far, so this album will be our third release.
We don’t change the concept and aimed to further improve the level while making it understandable as Heterogeneous Andead music immediately after listening. There are songs with more progressive elements in this album, and we also take on new challenges such as triple time.
It also features more guitar harmonies and the synthesizer’s sound is more emphasized than before. The performance of each part is also more energetic. This album has only 8 songs, but I think that all the songs are good quallity to be the lead track of the album. In this album Yusuke Kiyama worked on mixing / mastering, so all the sounds are our ideals.
HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD are
Haruka: Vocals (Mezzo-soprano & Growl voice)
Yusuke Kiyama: Guitar, Synthesizer, Programming
Tomoyuki Nakano: Drums

French progressive death-metal Wrath Of The Nebula unveiled new music video for D.N.A of the GODS!

“Whoever forgets the past cannot understand the future”

About 3 years and a half after the birth of the band, Progressive Death-Metal 4 piece Wrath Of The Nebula is about to release its debut full-length album called ‘The Ruthless Leviathan’ and planned for a worldwide release on April 1st through M & O Music.

In the meantime, the band offered a glance from this forthcoming records and the official music video of the song “D.N.A of the Gods” available right now on YouTube

WRATH OF THE NEBULA is a PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL band formed in 2018 by Hokuto No Dov and Vital Geff, having previously collaborated in several musical and artistic projects.

In 2019, joined by Kevin Paradis, phenomenal drummer, the music developed by the duo takes shape and the recording sessions of the pre-productions begin and reveals from that time on, the artistic direction chosen to set the themes of the songs.

The recurring themes of the group’s compositions are linked to the presentation of legitimate questions of humanity on its deep origins and the plausible links between humanity and higher extraterrestrial entities, which could have been present on our planet, long before the development of our first civilizations.

In this sense, the arrival in the group of Déhà, to keyboards and orchestrations, will add an epic and classic color, to the brutal and progressive compositions of the group.
Thus the death metal power of the group regularly rubs shoulders with the search for melodies, which are dear to them, in order to favor the listener’s immersion within a completely “stellar” concept album.

In any case, this is the ambition presented by WRATH OF THE NEBULA which in 2021, enters the VAMACARA STUDIOS to produce its 12-track album, under the leadership of the excellent HK KRAUSS, which will breathe power and clarity into the compositions of this first album soberly named ‘The Ruthless Leviathan’.
