It’s a bit slow in the post-hardcore department when it comes to new releases, so I’ve decided to write about an EP that came out in June 2012 but I’ve only stumbled upon recently: Morals by The Words We Use. Let me just say this right off the bat: the four song (five including the […]

The Heavy Eyes – Maera
If one had to find a suitable common theme in order to write a review about an album, then this one’s would be a puffing, steaming and stamping locomotive, which is not rushing at all, but which puts everything out of its way. Don’t think too much of AC/DC’s Rock’n’Roll Train, because The Heavy Eyes’ […]
PVT – Homosapien
If you decide to call an album Homosapien all I can think of is evolution, be it as a human being or as a band. So I was really looking forward to PVT‘s newest release, as their last album Church with no magic (specially the first half of it) was one of my favourite records in 2010. […]
Plankton Waves – Songs Of Endings
“In all of our songs, we’re looking for a kind of beauty, and every beauty has a certain melancholy and gloom inside.” Plankton Waves pretty much knew into which direction the output for their debut EP would go when we had the pleasure to interview them last summer. Listening to Songs of Endings in this […]
Capture The Crown – Til Death
In the couple of years that I’ve been listening to metalcore and similar music I’ve seldom seen one band receive as much hate as Capture The Crown. The reason for all this malice is that people argued that they blatantly copied Asking Alexandria‘s style from their Stand Up And Scream era. This includes: the way […]
Fights And Fires – We Could All Be Dead Tomorrow
Fights and Fires remain true to themselves, not without refining their rock soup with some nice little ingredients. If spring won’t come in the next months then this will melt the snow just at the right time to start the festival season. Starting with what remained the same, let’s talk about the very beginning of […]
Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!
Postrock is dead! Deal with it. The only thing that sucks more is to revive a defunct post hardcore band from the late 90’s and play at Loolapallooza or Rock Am Ring. Honestly, I really don’t know where to start here. Godspeed You! Black Emperor are one of my all-time favourite postrock bands and they […]
A Mute Appeal – Convictions Of Empires
It’s time to check out what’s been happening in the Luxembourgish scene again and what better way to do this than by checking one of the releases that I didn’t get around to review last year. I’m of course talking about A Mute Appeal, who released their debut EP Convictions Of Empires on December 1st. […]
Elephant on Onyx – EOO Demo
What are you gonna do when you’re up for some unknown music, given that most of your favourite bands haven’t had a new release yet? Right, read some magazines or go to the internet and trawl bandcamp. Elephant on Onyx are a band you may (at least for the moment) only meet by chance on […]
Serpent’s Tongue – Desolation & Vices (double review)
If you’ve read a couple of my reviews you know that I’m mostly into post-hardcore and metalcore. However, I love me some hardcore from time to time, and what better way is there to do so than by checking out a new band that isn’t influenced by a record label? This is why today’s review […]
