Low tuned darkened hardcore metal TOTAL RECALL announce new single ‘Memories are Gone’ Featuring Tim Rogler (Dagger Threat)!

Total Recall was formed in March 2019 in Milan,IT by experienced musicians with 20+ years of touring experience in the metal and hardcore scene. They decided to form this band to honor the memory of a lost friend.

The band released their first full length album ‘Always Together’ via the Australian 1054 Records in July 2021 and after a series of club shows and tour in Europe and UK they unleashed a brand new 7 songs EP to the masses on April 21st 2023 after signing a new deal with the German Label Empty Shells Records.

‘The Void’ was recorded and mixed by the producer Stefano ‘Orkid’ Santi (Cripple Bastards, Forgotten Tomb, Lvcifyer) and mastered by Scott Middleton (former Cancer Bats) and it is the most mature, controversial, dark and aggressive Total Recall release to date. It keeps the rough attitude of the previous album ‘Always Together’ but it will take you to a all different musical landscape enveloping you in a world of raw anxiety and self-conscious anger.

As for the Digital Release Total Recall will unleash 1 single every month on the main digital platforms starting from March 31st with ‘No Light’ (Feat. Diego DD Cavallotti from Lacuna Coil/Inverno) followed by the new single ‘Memories are Gone’ (Feat. Tim Rogler from Dagger Threat) which is available at the following location starting from May 26th.

This is what the band has to say about their new single ‘Memories are Gone’:

‘Memories are Gone it’s a very intimate song that we particularly care about. It reflects our musical evolution and beyond. The mix of styles that can be found in the song make it perhaps one of the most representative of our path. We are extremely happy to have had Tim guest on this song. Dagger Threat are a band that contaminates a lot and they are not afraid to do it, they have been doing it well and for years, writing solid songs and maintaining a precise identity. We recognize ourselves a lot in their approach even if our styles are different.’

(review) Flametal – ‘Redux’

Flametal are hailing from Berkeley, California and they have been around in the scene since 2004. This is their fifth full length opus, first one in nine years. This is an interesting band. Why? Because, like the name says, they mix progressive metal, speed metal and flamenco into one dangerously contagious mixture of music. There are ten songs on this opus, with many interchangable parts, great melodies, almost gypsy like folk and ethno thrown in for good measure and all acoustic stuff which dominates with flamenco guitar being rounded with good old metal parts. the guys even covered ‘Bamboleo’ by Gypsy Kings in their own flamenco prog metal version and the energy of this record is just infective and double bass drumming of ‘Beyond The Horizon’ interplays perfectly with atmospheric parts and shows all the fire in the veins of flamenco. I didn’t know that this mixture could function so greatly, I enjoyed every single second of it although I am usually not a keen fan of records that are instrumentals per se. Great and innovative band this one.

(tv series) The Watcher(2022) prva sezona – moglo je biti i puno bolje

Naomi Watts i Bobby Canavale glume u ovoj Netflixovoj seriji od sedam epizoda. Jedan od tvoraca serije je i Ryan Murphy, poznat po American Horror Story seriji, pa nije čudo da se u The Watcheru zna pronaći bizarnih momenata koji podsjećaju na AHS u nekim segmentima. Dakle, bazirano je na istinitoj priči. Bračni par sa srednješkolskom djecom kupi staru viktorijansku kuću iz 1920-ih i dosele u kvart sa mnogo bizarnih i čudnih susjeda. Tada počinju dobijati spooky pisma od nekog tko sebe zove The Watcher, čudne stvari im se počnu događati, netko im hoda noću i danju po kući, počinju se svađati, psihički propadati i izluđivati jedni druge unatoč ugrađenom security sustavu, unajmljenoj privatnoj detektivki, susjedima koji su ubijeni, pa odjednom nisu ubijeni, pričama o kultu krvi u njihovom kvartu i sličnim lijepim stvarima. Prvih četiri od sedam epizoda su me držale napetim, jer je bila riječ više o nekoj spooky horror stalking priči, a manje obiteljskoj drami ili krimi trileru. Od pete epizode, pa nekako sve do završetka posljednje sedme epizode sve se smekša i nekako postane odugovlačenje, nekako postane razvlačenje radnje i epizoda koje su mogle stati u pet ili šest komada, a ne sedam. Kraj je pomalo razočaravajući i ostavlja više otvorenih nego zatvorenih pitanja. Nedavno je zakazana druga sezona, pa će možda popraviti dojam iz finala ove prve.

Gluma: 8/10 sjekira – tu nema zamjerki, cijela postava, ovisno o napisanim bizarnim likovima je savršena, pogotovo Mia Farrow kao psihotična susjeda.

Zaključak: 6/10 sjekira – zbog ovog razvlačenja zadnje tri epizode, moglo je biti puno bolje. Ovako ostaje malo iznad prosjeka, sa željom vidjeti što će se desiti u drugoj sezoni.
