BLÜDWYRM (SLUDGE/DOOM, REVIEW) - THE BLISSFUL SLEEP OF IGNORANCE (RELEASE JUNE 5TH, ROAD TO MASOCHIST)

Image
So, Bog was sat around on the bog bike wondering what to do, he’d just behaved normally on the previous review, and he needed to hear something to get that muck mongrel blood pumping through his veins, alleyway rat style, but then, the bog spat  BLÜDWYRM , and Bog’s face gasped with joy. 1. Preacher Of My Own Demise is the opening track with a thick fat ass riff like a brick necklace, pulling someone down to the earth. The signature riff is suffocating, oppressive, and sucks the air out of the room. Wonderful announcement to say it’s nasty ass music time and Bog jumped around in the bog splashing puddles of chemical dirt everywhere. 2.26 mins has a vocal drop to be joined by a drum drop around 2.29 mins to take us into a riff, which shatters, completely shatters. It’s the kind of villainous riff that Bog would find motivating at slimming club when some frustrated f*cked off Nana cuts into a cake and says ‘This is how much you need to lose this week , if you still want your shit...

THE NEW SINGLE "AFTERLIFE" FROM FINNISH MELODIC METALl BAND BLACKMENT PRESENTS A TALE OF ANXIETY

Image
  Blackment , the Finnish masters of diverse melodic metal, have released more new material from their upcoming second studio album. Along with the release of the "Afterlife" single, the band unfortunately also has to announce that the album’s release has been delayed from the originally planned date in June. "The production of the last five tracks took a bit longer than expected, so we're way behind schedule. In a situation like this, it's better to take some extra time so we can polish the album to sound exactly the way it's supposed to," the band says. The newly released "Afterlife" offers a great preview of what’s to come on the upcoming album. Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/blackment-afterlife “Afterlife is a really dynamic song, and I think it really highlights the strengths of every member of Blackment.

RELIQUIA (GOTH DOOM, REVIEW) - IN THEORY AND PRACTICE (INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED, MAY 11TH)

Image
  Welcome again to another presentation from the bog. This time, something quite spectacular was thrown our way.  1. Caesar, Bejwelled begins with a lead intro softly setting the tone and atmosphere for the track, which Gregg Neville’s vocals then join to strengthen it further, serving as a clean story telling arc. The track transitions with heavy lead riffs to formulate the mood and feeling further whilst Gregg’s vocals transform into a harsher approach. Think a slower vocal  version of black metal, or unclean fronted sludge, or unclean darkwave, and it's pretty much the style when it moves away from the gentler vocals to demonstrate the despair and anguish for the listener. The drum tracking is very good, which was one of the notable qualities Bog caught through the album. Bog could hear the timing, practice, numerous takes, etc, that have been invested into maintaining a solid running supporting function, which makes the track as much as the riffs, along with the...

Noumena’s (MELODIC DEATH METAL) New Single “Surunkehrä” Is A Journey into the Underworld

Image
  Hailing from Ähtäri, Finland, the masters of melodic death metal, Noumena , continue their journey towards their highly anticipated album release. The band is now releasing a brand new single, " Surunkehrä " (The Spindle of Sorrow), as a follow-up to their previously released banger " Kuolemankello ". " Surunkehrä " is part of a continuum of melancholic, mid-tempo Noumena songs—a lineage that includes past tracks like “ Saatto ”, " Bleakest Essence " and " Sanansaattaja ". Guitarist and composer Ville Lamminaho sheds light on the song’s multifaceted origins: "The idea sparked a couple of years ago when the band was listening to Lorna Shore's 'Pain Remains I'. The actual song came to life at home on the couch while strumming my daughter's acoustic guitar. The melancholic and folk-influenced song gained dynamism through varying time signatures, and we aimed for a driving flow and pulsing rhythms in the arrangem...

5 FT. HYPER SNIPER | SHAKA AMAZULU THE 7TH - SHADOW NINJA (REVIEW, UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, CONCEPT BASED)

Image
Bog about pooped through his pants on the the beat for the opening track " Fury ". New York gutter beats!, Brooklyn! End Of Times is more chill, but still solid, and the same for Shinobi . Those were the tracks Bog felt the most, but not peeped any of the other releases yet, so not sure how the catalogue stands up, and what the latest drops are like, but the first 3 joints make the album, and the concept is sick, so we will return to  5 Ft. Hyper Sniper | Shaka Amazulu The 7th when time permits. Shadow Ninja by 5 Ft. Hyper Sniper | Shaka Amazulu The 7th

STU BANGAS & A-F-R-O (BOOM BAP/HORRORCORE/UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, REVIEW) - THE BAD AND THE UGLY (CHAPTER 2)

Image
  Yo! what's good Bogs? It's time for real hip hop grime again from the swamps before we venture back into goth pools, or another pool. The bog spits, bog collects, bog shares. No gates here, just grime from the sounds.  Lost Souls Part Two - The opening joint is a good opener after the narration intro to drop the theme and concept followed by strong beats with no wackness. The beat count and temp is strong with solid sampling effects. Punchy and catchy y'all. The tempo is relaxed yet sets the fire strong to move to the next tracks. Pack It In - An ode to House Of Pain's 'Jump Around' featuring lines from the track, but rephrased and lyrically different, but it's pretty tight. There is a nice repeated beat introducing the joint with accompanying scratch samples laced serving as break points, and Bog enjoyed them. Sick track repping Boston routes. which is a huge thumbs up from Bog. Bring Ya Best Army, Pt. 2 (feat. One Be Lo) - The feels with dark solid stro...
