In collaboration with Invisible Oranges we present to you the first single “Obsidious Veins” by the new Dutch experimental metal mining duo PROSPECTORS!
‘Proven Lands’ is the debut album by Prospectors wherein the Dutchmen mine the uncharted lands of extreme metal. Six compositions were recorded with session-drummer Michiel van der Plicht (Pestilence, Carach Angren, ex-God Dethroned) including “Obsidious Veins”, introducing their music with ferocious dissonance and musical ingenuity. In “Become Void” the synth takes over, evoking mystery and suspense. Then the push and pull that opens “Monolithic Structures” gradually turns into a blast beat driven hurricane and makes way for a rocking climax. With ‘Proven Lands’ the Dutchmen take you on a 33-minute trip that is cerebral yet emotive, familiar yet unknown.
In their own words:
“After playing in various (mostly black metal) bands for over a decade, we decided we wanted to try something different. Aware of the limitations we faced and sensing both of us desired to push the envelope conceptually, Prospectors was born. As Prospectors, we take an organic and dynamic sound and use it to explore new musical concepts. We take abstractions and translate these to solid, often dissonant, songs. In doing this we emphasize always putting the music first.”
Tracklist: 1. Ravelling Motion (4:30) 2. Obsidious Veins (4:52) 3. Descent into the Unknown (6:34) 4. Become Void (3:22) 5. Monolithic Structures (4:43) 6. Vortex (8:04) Total: (32:06)

Petrol Station are hailing from Czech Republic and they just recently released their new, second e.p. called Tracy. There are five songs on this one and music of Petrol Station can be described as modern pop punk. You know how this one sounds, clever mixture of melodic punk rock and pop, with some old school grungy influences here and there and emo/alternative with nice vocal lines, great backing vocal harmonies and superb songwriting, especially the title song which stays in your ears long after you finished listening. Keyboard work and sometimes dreamy electronics and samples only add to sweet and melancholic atmosphere. Songs are emotional and beautiful, like for example another personal favorite of mine called Honesty. This is good one, I wait eagerly for new music, definitely a band to remember.
