Tir started its musical journey in Turkey, but now it resides in Australia. The music of Tir can be described as dungeon synth with dark ambient, dark/neofolk influences in the songwriting and song structures. This record offers 15 songs of epic soundscape. The atmosphere is majestic, epic, yet at the same time sometimes eerie. Dungeon synth is not the music for wide masses and for ordinary people, but all of the hearts that are really into it will find themselves more than satisfied with this album. My personal favorites on this one are Righteous Viraz with such epic almost fantasy melody and also The Dragon King Raised an Army having such vibe and atmosphere that you can almost touch it and feel it with your hands and it can enter all of your body through your eyes, ears and possess your mind and heart having that martial beat and making your skin crawl with goosebumps. But, you will have to find your own personal favorites if you love such music. Go ahead, have a listen, let yourselves go to other dimension with this one.
This record contains ten songs and the music of Kali Masi can be described as melodic and emotional punk rock with indie influences in the song structures. This is not your fast no holds barred skatepunk, but rather more slowed down and mid tempo emotional anthems, filled with all the right stuff you need when listening to such record. Meaning nice vocal lines and harmonies, beautiful poetic song lyrics and choruses just made for singing and humming long after you finished listening to the record, yet something draws you to it again and again. Songs like Gulit Like A Gun which hits you in the eye with superb melody and gradation of drama and poetry. Also, Long Term is superb song, my personal favorite, but don´t let that tell you that others are not worth, quite the contrary, you must listen to this awesome record and find your own favorites and you will, believe me. I remember when I was a ferocious and wild hardcore kid, records such as this one were not my cup of tea to say at least, but now I learned to love and cherish emotional treats like this one. Great record.
UK metal outfit Broken Calling is back with brand new single “Ghosts” – a charismatic, dynamic and energetic track that sees the formation developing a rejuvenated and improved version of the combination of the members’ individual and collective musicianship. Creating a captivating blend of diversified vocal harmonies, intense screams, gritty guitars, a prominent rhythm section and an abundance of composing talent, “Ghosts” showcases the more aggressive nature of the group through the direct and hard-hitting composition and the genuine sincerity of the utilized lyrics, all further highlighted by the accompanying visualization, providing the perfect backdrop to enhance the deeper themes of the lyrical content.
Broken Calling collectively describes the group’s release further: “This is a song about overcoming adversity and expelling the negativity of your past. Taking control of your own destiny and finding your own path. No matter who you are or what you do. We have always, throughout our career, have championed being valued and irreplaceable, regardless of aspirations and ambition and have always had a message of hope and positivity, despite our music leaning towards the opposite. “Ghosts” is no different. We have come to terms with expelling the ghosts of our past and moving on, becoming new people ourselves and exploring our craft to develop our unique sound. And we want to spread that message to the world.”
