Post-punk/pop-punk band Versus The World, featuring members of Lagwagon and Good Riddance, announces their new album ‘The Bastards Live Forever’ today.
‘I can’t tell you how much work went into this collection of songs. I was always taught that if what you’re working on isn’t the best, you should start over. You should never put something out there that you’re not absolutely convinced of,’ says vocalist Donald Ashley Spence.
This perfectly thought-out post-punk album contains 11 anthems and represents a milestone this year for both the band and the punk rock landscape!
Besides black metal, there is one genre of underground that I love to listen to in the last couple of years, namely dungeon synth and dark ambient. Tales Under The Oak from Berlin, Germany has a new opus out with Dark Age Productions. This is in fact eight epic songs plus four narrated short stories. The music on this opus is dungeon synth, epic and fantasy melodies go throughout the album as a whole, but there is also a healthy mixture of medieval dark ambient describing the concept of swamp kingdom and its denizens. Stories such as Brogg The Builder are interesting, like reading a great written dark heroic fantasy novel. Dreamy epic synth ambient songs like The One Who Carved It All, Bogg The Berry-Belly or The Water Lily Boat are sure to win you over and along with stories take you to other fantasy world in which you can stay for a while, because it is beautiful although a little bit scary. Great chapter in the tale of honor, life and woe.
