THE TAUNTING IMAGE - BOG LORE

 

Bog put the transponder back in his pocket. The moisture was already soaking through his clothes, clinging to his skin.

He looked down into the murky bog water, slipping into reverie.

The reflection was fractured by the falling rain, but replaced by a taunting image.

The Gathering was almost complete.

Soon, Phase 3…"The march continues," thought Bog.

DYSENTERY - DEJECTION CHRYSALIS (BRUTAL DEATH/SLAM, REVIEW, RELEASED NOV 7TH, COMATOSE MUSIC)

Image
Introduction Ten years have passed since ‘Fragments’ was released and Dysentery have returned with forthcoming album ‘Dejection Chrysalis’ , which is due for release through Comatose Music on November 7 th . Dysentery are back to present a no filler album that is up there with all previous releases. Sometimes, we hear albums/Eps from bands, and you wish there was more time taken in recording the album, as a particular part feels missing. None of that here with Dejection Chrysalis . This a piece of music that has been worked on incredibly hard, and if you enjoy all things heavy, then this isn't to be passed by. There are guest vocal appearances from Josh Welshman (Defeated Sanity), Jared Weed (Concrete, Futility) and JT Knight (Invoke Thy Wrath). For those interested I in the artwork for the album cover it was done by Hidris (Anhedonic, Reign Of Erebus, Snakepit etc). Dejection Chrysalis made Bog relive his memory of the 4th Bog War, a bloody conflict between Bog creatures and ou...

BEAUTIFUL FREAKIN' WEIRDO: ZAP THE FEAR (INDUSTRIAL METAL, RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY 08/08/25, REVIEW)

Image
Beautiful Freakin' Weirdo released Zap The Fear a few months ago and is an Industrial Metal offering featuring 3 high octane tracks through a lyrical, and musical journey about real world hell and the psychological connection to it. I am Fire   has an upbeat rhythm with a consistent pace designed to keep people on the dance floor. It's kind of a mix between Static X with Rob Zombie with a slow acid techno hook coming around 2 minutes in. The vocals deliver the chorus effectively with a catchy riff serving as the signature for the song along with a fast paced beat for the drums with fairly high BPM. Psychohead continues on from the fast opening to maintain the pace and not allow people to leave the dancefloor. The drums are particularly good on this track, and support the guitars and vocals nicely. Vocals again deliver the lyrics and their message clear with a chorus for fans to sing along, or shout out on the dance floor. Pyschohead is definitely more on the metal side compa...

THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER - SAMPLER (POST PUNK, RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY, AUG 29TH, REVIEW)

Image
On the first listen, Bog didn't really feel the sampler, but it has grown on Bog, and it does turn into an infectious piece of music. It was an interesting journey with The Hangman's Daughter, and Bog likes it when something completely flips him from his initial reaction.  With that said, the sampler is super chill, so for those expecting ultra heavy music, or something that is going to make you shiver furiously, then this might not be for you, but if you can give it a chance, and appreciate relaxing, but catchy melodies, then The Hangman's Daughter would be an artist Bog recommends. There are other influences outside of the obvious goth vocals and bands like The Cure, such as horror punk (Bog could hear it on Serafina Who Knows). From what Bog can gather, the sampler is a collection of recent tracks spanning the last few years.  Dive is mega chill, but yet has excellent audio and mastering to give it an extra edge, but not sacrificing the lo-fi essence to lose the heart of...
