(review) Destronomer – ‘The Two Horns’

Leave a comment

I have been listening to lots of doom lately, due to winter and weather and I just feel like it. Destronomer are hailing from far away Sydney, Australia, across the globe and this is their debut full length opus. This one contains eight songs. The music of Destronomer can be described as a melodic and epic doom metal with some up tempo more straightforward stoner metal influenced parts interweaving with some more psychodelic atmospheric songwriting as in excellent ‘Bin Diver’ where perfect vocal melody lines and doomy parts interplay with I would say also post metal parts and strong bass lines, but I must especially highlight vocals on this opus. Nathan Williams has such superb voice, gentle where needed, melodic and full voice which expresses all the emotions behind the music. This is a strong debut album for all of you who like your doom metal epic and melodic. My personal favorites: ‘Bin Diver’, ‘Core Fallen’, ‘Eschaton’.

(review) Drone Hunter – In Gear

Leave a comment

Our Croatian underground scene just thrives and pulsates with great bands and releases and I remember the first time I saw Drone Hunter from neighbouring Varaždin town. It was an open air gig organized by members of MC Miners from Varaždin behind one shopping mall with Đubrivo from Split and some other bands and I immediately fell in love with Drone Hunter´s music. Later on my band played a house gig in Varaždin in a garage of one guy´s home and it was fantastic. I interviewed the guys for this zine and reviewed earlier releases. Now, it is time for a new e.p. This one contains 5 songs. Although Drone Hunter are an instrumental band and I am not an avid fan of bands without vocals, this one is so good that vocals are not needed, the instruments do the talking. Songs are so well written that they tell a story. The music of Drone Hunter is hard to categorize, but I will try. It is a mixture of doom, stoner, sludge, hard rock and atmospheric post rock. But, what brought more joy to this heart are some faster, almost thrash metal parts of the songs Cabin Fever and The Dark Den Brought Me Here. Production on this e.p. is so strong and great, courtesy of Tompa at e-minor studio in Varaždin, this dude does great job with many bands from this scene here up north. Anyway, if you like atmosphere, harsh riffs, aggression, emotions, check out Drone Hunter and support the scene.

DEATH OF A LEGEND reveal new video for their third single THE CALL!

Leave a comment

After the first two singles Faceman and Beyond Thunderdome, Death Of A Legend are ready to present their third single: The Call.

About the topic of the song, Trippy, singer of the band, states: “You are gross. We know you are. All alone, when nobody’s watching. But sometimes it happens that all you need to do is to be a decent person. Are you In good company, maybe? Well, with the passing of time it gets more difficult to hide. Sooner or later you’ll play the wrong card at the wrong time. We know very well. Cause no matter how hard you try, when it comes, you just can’t resist THE CALL.”

The performance video, directed and edited by Federico Quistini, is masterfully interspersed with scenes of the band members engaged in a game of cards, immersed in an Italian-American bar setting with a typical ’80s vibe.

Regarding the filming of the video, Trippy adds: “During the making of the video we had to beat each other and it happened that something went wrong. The headbutt between Mark and Dem was accidentally real. They both got bruised and ended the day with a big red spot on their foreheads. We were so amused by the thing that kept the take and put it in the video.”

Death of a Legend, rock’n’roll band formed by members of the hardcore punk scene of Milano, are: 
Trippy (voice), Mark (guitars), Zane (bass) and Don Malastorte (drums).
Their style is a mixture of the iconic rock blues groovy vibes of Danko Jones, the raw facets of groups such as Maylene and the sons of Disaster and The Bronx and the typical groove of early Volbeat.
