(MUCK POOL NEWS) "BONEYARD" (MELODIC METAL / HARD ROCK) UNLEASH NEW ALBUM "BLACK STATIC"


Western Canadian rock force Boneyard has dropped their highly anticipated sophomore studio record, "Black Static," via WormHoleDeath Records. Marking a major evolution since their debut Oathbreaker, the fresh material displays a revamped lineup and an aggressive crossbreeding of classic '80s traditional heavy metal with punchy '90s punk.
Drummer Jefftimus broke down the structural transformation of the band:
"Black Static is an extension of Oathbreaker, featuring another diverse collection of songs while showcasing the unique contributions of Lezzy and Garhardt. The new lineup and album are quite different from Oathbreaker, and we're excited for fans to hear where the band has gone."
"We wanted to create something that bridges modern female-fronted hard rock with traditional heavy metal," adds Jefftimus.
UNFILTERED STORIES & CINEMATIC METAL
Black Static hits deep, tackling brutal real-world realities including human trafficking, domestic abuse, homelessness, and addiction. Tracks move from the deeply personal toxic-relationship survival anthem "Left Me To Drown" to "Not This Way (Joel's Song)," which confronts schizophrenia.
The heavy topics are balanced by wild thematic cuts like the Western metal anthem "Hanging Tree" and the high-seas pirate metal track "Compass Points to War".
Bassist Lezzy commented on the band's lyrical drive:
"Pamtera and I often draw inspiration from painful personal experiences as well as difficult collective issues like human trafficking and deteriorating mental health. At the same time, we always try to weave hope and positivity into those stories."
The striking cover art was designed by Tom Bagley, bringing back the group's classic skeletal mascot, Misty Bone.
Tailor-made for fans of Halestorm, Saxon, Doro, and Iron Maiden.

AMULET - "SO COLD" (RISING PHOENIX) (SINGLE, DARKWAVE, DISTORTION PRODUCTIONS, REVIEW)

Image
So Cold (Rising Phoenix)  is the first single from the forthcoming EP ' Purification ' due for release via Distortion Productions on November, 28th.  Amulet is a DC artist and So Cold (Rising Phoenix) is the synthpop incarnation of the darkwave rock track of the same name, and is a faster paced re-imagined version.  It has a contagious tempo with clear vocals that flow in and out with the melody. A very goth tone from what Bog could hear, which has been nicely laced on top of the beat. It's well composed, sectioned together strongly with the hook and transitions. Bog could hear the riffs in the background on an earlier part of the song, which was a good touch, and Bog assumed they are maybe from the original version of So Cold . We aren't too familiar with this style of music, or the artist, but Stephanie Stryker's vocals stand out. They also carry a style that could transfer across  to goth rock/goth metal, and possibly traditional heavy metal. We aren't sure ...

BLOOD HANDSOME: 'NOSTALGIA HOLD' (STRICT TEMPO, RELEASED SEPT 5TH, DARKWAVE/SYNTH, REVIEW)

Image
Bog was due to write about Blood Handsome later on the schedule, but it was moved forward to feature something different from other underground music. Bog will be writing from the stance of what he hears, he doesn't know too much about this/or the particular style/scene, so disclaimer alert. Bog writes about what he hears, and how it makes him think/feel. Blood Handsome opens with Abandon,  which is an up tempo track with a beat that people can move/bounce too. Futuristic and feels ahead of its time, but also embodies the synth/goth influences, which Bog can hear. I guess dark synth with a little cyberpunk to a point that invokes the imagination to think of cyberpunk movies/novels, and generally space/planets, and all things in the not so distant future.  Abandon has a sinister/dark vibe, leaving the impression of robots dancing on a space station. Leaving imagination world for a moment, and turning attention to the music itself for a deeper dive, an attempted one, hop...

TOMB SLAB (SLUDGE, REVIEW) - SELF TITLED (RELEASED JULY 17TH, ROAD TO MASOCHIST RECORDS)

Image
Bog Land classic coming up here y'all! Tomb Slab embody the stench, muck, dirt, and pure stinky ass dirty unclean rivers of mud that flow through special areas of the swamp. They are hideously revolting and play a gut wrenching style of sludge with some doomy potions! The album is as disgusting as the time Bog had to use a nail file to remove the mould between his ball sack and thigh. Sometimes you have to use toilet paper to wipe it off, but it had dried a little too hard, so it was a fun day, but enough of the Bog mishap memoirs for now.  Bog is attempting the selector lens, but he may f*ck off into commentary mode whilst rolling around in bog water from pure excitement.  Tomb Slab are on the  Road To Masochist  roster along with fellow sickness sludge mongers  BLÜDWYRM . All of them have caught Bog's ear, so shout to y'all!   1. Kingdom of Tyranny opens with a crushing riff intro supported by the vocals in a symphony of desolate grime to assault th...
