Discarded Self ST Album Art

Discarded Self has posted the new song, “Orbitoclast” at their Bandcamp page here – https://discardedself.bandcamp.com/track/orbitoclast

The song comes from Discarded Self’s upcoming self-titled album, due out on April 30th via Sarcophagus Recordings. The album was recorded at Doom Tomb Studios in Lloydminster, Alberta Canada.

Jarret Beach, the person behind the one-man-band that is Discarded Self has this to say about the song “Orbitoclast”:
“The song Orbitoclast is a collection of riffs and vocal ideas I actually started this project with. It starts off slow, but gets straight down to it with a thrashy section that has shredding vocals bleeding all over it. For those that aren’t aware, an Orbitoclast is the instrument that is hammered into a person’s brain, when they were the poor individual who received a lobotomy in the late 40’s early 50’s. The song is of course about the horrifying practice of lobotomy, but has an extra hidden meaning. It’s a metaphor for giving your trust to someone who doesn’t have your best interests in mind, and only their own personal interest, with no concern of who they damage along the way.”
Flooding forth with misery and hate comes the first album from Discarded Self, the Canadian solo project from Jarret “Fuzzgod” Beach, who’s also a member of the bands Destroy My Brains and Ashes of Yggdrasil. Created during a time of personal isolation, the album “Discarded Self” ranges from tales of the macabre to introspective trips into self-loathing and personal degradation that dredge up terrible memories of the past to drown in personal regret. There is no hope for the future here.

Pre-orders through the bands Bandcamp page are available now, with other pre-orders opening soon through iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Napster, Deezer, Tik Tok and Tidal

(review) Aezoth-eulogy to nothing(undead artists records)

Eulogy To Nothing_CoverDigital

Aezoth are from Germany and this is their new release that I got from the excellent label Undead Artists Records

This debut album of Aezoth contains 12 songs. This is basically horrorpunk, yet with a touch of sludge, doom and death rock, even gothic rock. These guys are mixing many genres but they do is fantastically. The melodies of the songs are just fantastic. The voice of the singer is for sure one of the best girl vocals I have heard in the scene for the last couple of years. The songs are dramatic, atmospheric, like phenomenal A Lonely Night Of Loss And Doubt, also superb punkrock uptempo Feed The Poor Eat The Rich. The titles to the songs contain a bit black humour and irony like Selfdissecting Zombie or Anecdote About A Lost Body also the title song which is one of the top three songs for me on this record. This is a fantastic debut album, so go try this one. If you like drama, esoteric melodies, horror and punk with goth sombre kinda sad vibe, this is the right one for you.

(review) Junkowl-Making Out With My Death

Leave a comment

Album_front_no.white

Montreal˙s Junkowl are releasing their very first album and I had the honor and pleasure to listen and review it for this zine.

There are 10 songs on this record. The music of Junkowl is a mixture of hardcore, metal and sludge, stoner and doomy influences thrown in here and there for good measure. That means uptempo songs, groove, fascinating vocals which easy transform from screaming at the top of the lungs to speaking, whispering and singing clean voice and it gives more power to the already powerful music song structures. The guitar riffs are gritty, strong and sometimes have melodic hook here or there. Drums are superb, with awesome rhythm changes, rolling doom and sludge, faster punk song parts equally measured to make this record interesting listening experience. For me the songs that are highlights on this record are Quarantine Us All, Dead Hooker and Sickness Lives. This is a great and mighty debut album.

8/10
