killorbekilled

The Nailheads are a punk rock band from Montreal, Quebec Canada in 2008. The band was created and has been led by songwriter Ritchy Nails (lead vocals, bass, acoustic guitar), who has remained a constant presence and lead songwriter throughout the band’s first 3 full length releases. Live To See Tomorrow, is due for release on July 2nd, 2021 through Dental Records & Stand Productions, and is their 4th full length album, and first release since 2016.  

The first single (Kill or Be Killed) has just been released.

On “Live To See Tomorrow”, Nails takes the role of storyteller to new heights, as he leads the listener on a punk inspired rock and roll journey, infused with elements of soul, R&B, folk-County, and gospel music.In the beginning, the band had more of a  “garage punk” style, but The Nailheads have been consistently developing their style into a more rock and roll, folk-country, and early R&B -influenced style of punk.  The band has toured extensively since their formation, having played well over 500 shows in seven countries, and continue to tour and record music.

(review) Corr Mhóna – Abhainn (Satanath Records)

Corr Mhóna are hailing from Ireland and this is their second full length opus out with Satanath Records. This band and release really surprised me and quickly became one of my favorite listening for last two weeks. There are ten songs on this one. Music is what makes this band really special, playing mixture of epic doom metal, post black metal and melodic death metal with lots of aggression, melancholy and epic melody. There are also some classic heavy metal influences like in Banda being one of my personal favorites on this record. Atmospheric calm passages and acoustic guitar parts mix with anguished fast aggressive straight forward death metal parts only to return to epic melodic metal and back to blackened guitar work and thus creating perfect, almost mystic setting. What makes this record also special are fantastic vocals. From growls, to epic clean singing, to almost chanting, vocals are fantastic, some parts of clean singing reminded me of Emperor and their best songs, but only in clean vocal parts, this is not black metal band. This is one of my favorite releases this year so far.
