Review: Ashes of Moon – Melting Away EP

0
Od on English

Inconspicuously creative, that might be the characterization of the third album of Austrian Ashes of Moon which was released in March of this year. Ashes of Moon turned to melodic calmness and it was an excellent choice. The calm EP ‘Melting Away’ is one of those albums that gets under your skin and stays in your discography as the stable element you play in the evening. The four-men band was founded in 2009 in Styrian Bruck an der Mur. It was inspired by classic rock mixed with admiration of the Scandinavian melodic metal. This admiration has shown from the very…

Punk Death Metal rules at Nummirock: Interview with Jukka Kolehmainen/Abhorrence (pt 2)

0
Od on English, Interview, Nummirock

Deutsche Zusammenfassung Photos from their Nummirock gig – more to come! Part one Part two … Now, starting with part two of the interview with Jukka Kolehmainen from legendary Abhorrence. Looking forward for their festival gig at Nummirock ahead of us, I dug a little deeper into Abhorrence being back on stage. One reason why I particularly love attending festivals and concerts in Finland is that there seem to be no boundaries. You will find women in strict business outfits banging their souls out, little kids (with massive sound protection, of course) in the buggy next to their Metal Head and…

“First to go” – Tuska preview pt 4

0
Od on English, Reports, Tuska

The clock is ticking and Tuska is approaching – so let’s take a look at the line up. Udo Dirkschneider will be there! I just saw him in a music video in memoriam of someone who is perhaps rather unknown beyond Finland, perhaps even beyond Kuopio – although he played at Tuska several times: Pecu Cinnari. There will not be too many of yours who have heard of the metal veterans of Tarot, a band whose roots lead us back into the late 70s. By that time, the brothers Marco (bass and vocals) and Zachary Hietala (guitar) from Kuopio and…

Beloved scurrilities – Nummirock preview pt 3

0
Od on English, Nummirock

There are so many good reasons to come and experience Nummirock. Dozens of these reasons you may find at the festival’s vast line up. And one name on this list is better than the one before – no matter how often you start over reading. Another reason why I really wanted to come back this year, was to return to all these wonderfully bizarre people I saw, met and watched during the last time! Nummirock seems to be some kind of XL campsite and lakeside stage for all those who wish to express their very individual life style in extravagant dresses, make-ups…

Obscuro goes Tuska, preview pt 2: Tuska pioneers back on stage

0
Od on English, Reports, Tuska

The Tuska open air festival is celebrating its 20th birthday this summer, so this might be a good opportunity to look into its history. This first festival was an indoor-winter thing. And whom do we find among those pioneers of the line up? Trio Niskalaukaus, Barathum and Impaled Nazarene, who will be playing this time, too. Amazing! Once more the metal community seems to keep its members young at heart and young enough to rock a festival stage in the first days as much as on its 20th anniversary. Yeah! Many names have been loyal appearances on the Tuska stage,…

Recenze: Kreyskull – „The Bird of Bad Weather“

0
Od on Článek, Reviews

Jestli se nebojíte experimentu, šklebíte se na prožívání velkých emocí v hudbě, rádi si hrajete a klidně můžete riskovat totální zešílení při poslechu něčeho, co vám v mozku detonuje naprostým zmatkem, tak musíte slyšet Kreyskull. Protože je to absolutně divná, ale zároveň naprosto skvělá muzika. Není pro konzumenty. Není pro ty, kdo mají jakákoli očekávání. Je pro hráče…Je to zábava, ale zábava, kterou vám neposkytne druhořadá kutálka. Pokud sami muziku jakkoli vytváříte, budete se hodně dobře bavit. Kreyskull totiž vyžadují jednu hodně specifickou vlastnost, kterou nemá každý. Nadhled. Spoustu, nekonečnou spoustu nadhledu. Takže Kreyskull. Psychedelic heavy doom…ehm…tady bych mohla skončit, protože jejich…

Recenze: The Chant – „Approacher“

0
Od on Článek, Reviews

Nenápadně a vlastně skoro tiše se na finské scéně objevil nový fenomén, který se postupně vypracoval na kapelu hodně vysoké kvality. The Chant vznikli sice už v roce 1999, ale teprve teď se jejich hudba dostává do povědomí a pod nahrávací společností Lifeforce Records může sedmičlenná sestava ukázat, nakolik je opravdu dobrá. 23. června vychází nové EP „Approacher“, zahrnující čtyři hodně komplexní a hudebně vytříbené skladby. Od roku 2008, kdy kapela z Helsinek vydala své debutové album „Ghostlines“ se finští melancholici posunuli hodně kupředu. Díky tomu, že podepsali smlouvu se známým vydavatelstvím, získali i lepší propagaci a mohli tak oslovit širší…

Tuska preview: Apocalyptica Gallery

Od on English, Tuska

Good photos from a unique band are always worth the while. So I thought some memories on an earlier Apocalyptica tour might be a good preview for their Tuska gig to come in only a couple of weeks time from now. They were touring with the magnificent Tipe Johnson presenting their album 7th Symphony in 2011! All photos by Ms Cesar Little.

Interview with Jukka Kolehmainen/Abhorrence: We needed a good reason to put it back together

0
Od on Článek, English, Interview, Nummirock

I like meeting people who have a story to tell. And I met a man full of stories being a bit unexpected to happen in our so quickly evolving world. It all has a tiny little bit, please, really only a tiny little bit of Snow White’s fairy tale – save perhaps the fact that old school Death Metal is hardly associated with Snow White’s fairy tale at all. Perhaps neither Svart records, nor Jukka Kolehmainen see themselves as Prince Charming kissing the resting beauty awake. And even more perhaps Abhorrence never wanted to be Snow White. But there is…
