(novi post – recenzija) Ghost – Skeletá

Jedan od mojih omiljenih bendova, Ghost su se vratili novim albumom. Haha, kako se u stvarnom svijetu mijenja papa kršćana, tako se kao da su znali, izmijenili i Ghost papu frontmana, odnosno mastermind Tobias Forge je izmislio novi lik, Nameless Ghoulsi su dobili novi outfit i evo nam novih desetak pjesama. Lirikalno, album je sada nekako duboko osobniji, nema toliko okultnih i satanic tema, iako postoji pjesma Satanized koja je odabrana kao single, ali govori također o osobnim stvarima. Uz spomenutu, kao singleovi su još objavljeni Lachryma koja ima odličan refren uz skoro hard rock stadionski štih i meni jedna od omiljenih Peacefield sa savršenom melodijom i refrenom. Zarazne melodije su to što ovaj bend čine toliko dobrim. Ghost ne bi bio Ghost da nema i neku baladu na albumu, a to je jako pjevna Guiding Lights. De Profundis Borealis je opet malo žešća i melodična himna, dok mi se Cenotaph nije svidio baš toliko sa svojim up tempo malo prerokerskim ritmom i vibrom, kao da mi nešto fali ovoj pjesmi. Missilia Amori govori o ljubavnim raketama i uzbuđenjima oko love/hate relationshipa, uz još jedne zarazne gitarske melodije. Marks Of The Evil One je old school Ghost stvar kao na zadnja dva-tri albuma i jako mi se dopada i tekstualno, a i muzički. Umbra ima sjajne klavijaturske pasaže i podsjeća na osamdesete i sve hard rock bendove toga doba, kao i himnični refren i up tempo ritam, te gitaristički i klavijaturski duel na kraju pjesme. Umbra mi je dakako jedan od highlighta albuma. Tobijeve vokalne dionice su fenomenalne kao i na svakom albumu. Excelsis završava album ponovo u baladnom i pomalo misterioznom, ali nježnijem tonu. Može se reči da su Ghost opet izdali jedan odličan album, u istom rangu kao i prijašnji albumi, iako jače introspektivan od prijašnjih.

(news – new video) New single/video by Codefendants’ new song ft. Fat Mike vocals

Codefendants is the trio of Fat Mike (of NOFX), Sam King (of Get Dead), and rapper Ceschi, and while Mike usually takes more of a songwriting/instrumentation/production role, he and his bandmates all share vocal duties on their new single, ‘Right Wrong Man.’

‘This song came to life while we were all living under one roof in Las Vegas,’ says Ceschi. ‘We were each nursing our own heartbreaks. The line ‘the right wrong man for you’ started as a Fat Mike punchline, and we built it out from there—about being self-saboteurs, ghosters, and unreliable lovers. We all wish it were more fictional.’

It’s the band’s first new song in over a year, and it’s a fine example of the kind of punk/reggae/hip hop hybrid that’s become this trio’s calling card.

(new post – new lyric video) Gothic rockers BLAX uveil Doctor Love lyric video

Dive into the shadows with Doctor Love, a swirling descent into emotional chaos, romantic disillusionment, and gothic grandeur. Taken from the band’s latest album Certesia — out now via Wormholedeath — this track balances desire and destruction with haunting intensity.

With lyrics that conjure inner turmoil and spectral love, Blax paints a darkly cinematic world where fire and chaos collide, black souls rise, and salvation comes with a twist.

Founded in March 2020 by Giampaolo Polidoro (vocals) and Marco Fanella (guitar), BLAX emerged as a pandemic-born studio project, debuting with Meravilia (2021), recorded at Ravel 5 Studios. With the addition of Massimiliano Bergo (drums), Giulia Balestrieri (bass), and Emil Dellantonio (guitar), the band officially launched in 2022 under AlphaOmega Management.
Following the release of Meravilia, BLAX hit the road in 2023 with a European run that included Masters of Rock (CZ), a tour in Bulgaria with Arallu, and shows across Greece, Italy, and the UK. In 2024, after closing their Meravilia chapter at Rock Castle Festival (CZ), they welcomed new drummer Luca Urbinati (ANON) and turned the page with Certesia—their new chapter of sonic evolution and gothic storytelling.
