(MUCK POOL NEWS) "ABSOLUTE DARKNESS" DROP NEW SINGLE “ABOVE THE LAW" (FROM "WITNESS TO A DYING WORLD", DEATH THRASH)

Image
Absolute Darkness dropped third single, “Above The Law,” from forthcoming album, "Witness To A Dying World," due on October 23rd. The new single continues the album's exploration of power, corruption, and the human consequences of societal collapse. “This is probably the most collaborative song on the album. Everyone contributed ideas that found their way into the final version, making it one of the most enjoyable songs to write,” said Ron Dorn (Guitar / Lead Vocals). Lyrically, Above The Law  examines the mindset of an individual who believes themselves immune from consequences. ​ “It's told from the perspective of someone who believes they're completely untouchable. They abuse their power, blame everyone else for their actions, and don't even bother trying to hide what they're doing because they don't believe there will ever be consequences,” adds Dorn.

Watch the music video: https://youtu.be/SSDs-FiY-T0 The guitarist and composer Ric tells said: " Midnight's Call is the last song composed for this album and as soon as it was finished we knew we had our main single for this second album. The song exemplifies perfectly the sound of the band with heavy but melodic intros, hard hitting verses and catchy choruses to create a good balance between the heavy and melodic sounds that characterize melodeath. The lyrics are a metaphor for how we achieve success, power, fame, and what are we willing to sacrifice for it, whether is losing our principles or even morals to get where we want to be or who we want to become. It is about getting lost just to achieve something but also to wonde...

Even though the song’s roots reach further back than Agents, this is our way of honoring the Agents sound and celebrating a piece of Finnish musical heritage that has quietly inspired us over the years."

(BOG REVIEW) "VOODOOVIBE" - "SPITFIRE" (NEUROFUNK/DARK DNB, RELEASED SEPTEMBER 25TH, ULTRAVERSE MUSIC)

Image
Dark neurofunk/dark dnb with tech lines, metal samples kicked in, and distorted dub/tech break steps with cyber-esque industrial kicks.  Bog's Thoughts: It might be too chaotic for some, doesn't quite bang as hard other tracks, but Bog liked it, and there is a sick,  futuristic/cyber feel, which is strengthened by the audio mastering.  https://soundcloud.com/voodoovibe/spitfire SoundCloud @voodoovibe Bandcamp voodoovibe.bandcamp.com/ Spotify open.spotify.com/intl-it/artist/2…WSTEy3zDbTbBZ_3A Youtube www.youtube.com/channel/UCeYKNGvOvGAMjo7uJxiC6Jg Instagram www.instagram.com/delve.voodoovibe/  

(BOG REVIEW) "COLOMBOI" - "ALCHEMY" (TECHNO/HYPNOTIC/GROOVE, RELEASED SEPTEMBER 11TH, ILLEGAL ALIEN RECORDS)

Image
Stenchers! Deep, hypnotic, groovy, and mid bass paced techno.  There are levels of groove and house that Bog usually doesn't quite vibe, but Alchemy has a feel about it. F rom the 1st drop to the main sequence of the track Omen , it just maintains and builds the other worldly atmosphere through the melodic frequencies. The main drop is sick and takes us on this ride further. Bog's Thoughts: Sick for nodding the head and losing the mind in. Space bass! https://illegalalienrecords.bandcamp.com/album/alchemy Alchemy by Colomboi
