(review) Rob Zombie – The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy

1 Comment

Rob Zombie is back with his new album. You can love or hate his works, since White Zombie days to his solo albums, but the man has imagination and ideas. I love his movie work, I watched all his movies many times and every time I watch them again, I always see something new. Such great atmosphere, gore and poetry. This new album contains 17 songs of carnage in the vein of Rob Zombie. That means industrial metal with touch of psychedelia, horror punk even garage rock and hard rock. Heavy use of electronics and samples is fine by me, I love electronics and samples when they are used cleverly and fit perfectly to the song structure. There are couple of short songs that serve more of intros or instrumental intermezzos between acts of this psychodrama. Listening to this album is like watching Firefly family rampaging, stomping around and loving it. My highlights recommended songs: Shadow of the Cemetery Man, The Eternal Struggles of the Howling Man.

(album review)CAEDEOUS-“Domini Tenebrarum”

Leave a comment

Caedeous is Portuguese symphonic black metal band and this is their new album and I am proud that I listened and reviewed it for my webzine.

CAEDEOUS - DOMINI TENEBRARUM (CD COVER)

This project was born in the dead of night as a child of  Portuguese composer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician and producer Paulo J. Mendes. The album was recorded at Studio7 and mastered at Finnvoxx Studios by Mika Jussila.

It contains 7 songs and I can surely say that this is by far the best symphonic black metal that I have listened in a last couple of years. Heavy riffs, aggressive passages, but also emotional and heartfelt melodies mixed with atmospheric parts and vocals sung in various voices, from whispering to screams, topped with choirs and excellent female vocals that sing, laugh, croon and talk, make this record a must. This record could easily be one of the best horror movie soundtracks that I have listened to in a while. I still love symphonic melodic black metal and this record is a must if you are a fan of such music. Top songs: “Fall of Mankind”, “Siege of Draedemor”.
