(BOG REVIEW) - THEOSOPHY - LINE BEFORE THE EVENT HORIZON (RELEASED SEPTEMBER 25TH ON APOCALYPTIC WITCHCRAFT) (COLD BLACK METAL)

Image
  Stenchers, normally Bog would scribe much more and break the music down deeper sequencing drops, builds, transitions, and more, but there have been problems with storms and moisture in the Bog Lands, so it's wading through spew from the swamps before we can return to the selector lens. 1. Path to the Void - There is a good musical harmony structured around the riffs, which add to the atmosphere with a dark, cinematic tone. At 3:12 , the track flows a little rawer, with the riffing changing to match the transition. What is apparent already to Bog's muck ears is the time that Theosophy have taken ensuring the EQs are balanced, the vocals and instruments sync, and it is another example of music crafted to an excellent standard to catch the ear. The outro fade-out was cool, setting up the melodic intro for 2. Birds Under the Sky. The drum production is pretty good and sounded very soothing in the headphones Bog uses for sets. They are also not drowned out by the music, t...

(BOG REVIEW) - ENEMIES EVERYWHERE - MY VENGEANCE (METALCORE/DEATHCORE, RELEASED JUNE 26TH, RANKA KUSTANNUS)

Image
My Vengeance is a blend of extreme metal with metalcore for the first part of the track and transitions to deathcore in latter parts. The production and frequencies are good, but Bog wasn't so crazy on the higher pitched vocals on My Vengeance . Not that they are bad, but would have liked them to be more guttural in parts to go with the faster paced sections on the track, which are good and pit worthy. The traditional metalcore and deeper vocaled deathcore vox work, but the higher tone during the symphonic interludes, and on some of the melodic high speed transitions give the track a   milder feel. It's not a bad track, but maybe some of the higher tone vocals could have been dialled back , so they aren't as prominent. Bog's Thoughts : The composition and musical craft are solid, but My Vengeance  feels if the arrangement was better, then the faster parts and symphonic passages would hit harder. Drumming and guitars are well synced and mastered, and generally run in ...

BOG LORE - THE PYRE RUST RIDE!!! PT1!!!

Image
Hunrok weaved through the narrow corners, swerving left to right, maintaining the line, and taking care not to go too wide. The riders behind followed and churned up the dust from the ground as their wheels cut through the thick brown mud and sand. Hunrok glanced back; the formation was holding, the main line was fine, and visibility was clear. Despite the rocky conditions, it was a steady ride, and no one had fallen off their bikes. A rock crashed to the ground to Hunrok's right, narrowly missing his front wheel. He leaned to the left, manoeuvring around it, then quickly adjusted his balance to return to the center line. There was no slowing down , no time to stop. The elements themselves were as much of an enemy as The Gate and their collaborators. "Rock!" shouted Hunrok on comms, alerting the riders behind him. He didn't want a pile up or to waste time on repairs that could be avoided. Sure, the ride was dangerous, but it wasn't anything the dirt rid...
