Deftones- Leathers

A little feeling of White Pony?I think that in this song, you might hear a little bit of everything.. A dose, of Deftones many faces, from the 1997 Around the Fur, to  Minerva. 

However, the song Leathers might be  more than great taste of what will follow after November 13th when their new album KOI NO YOKAN will be released. 

 Here you can hear and download ( only for a few days) Leathers, the third song of the upcoming album.

Summer Scenes

This summer has been more than giving musicwise. A 1,5 month trip to Sweden gave me plenty of opportunities for new shows and loads of new music accompanied with barrels of beer and great people. The experience started off 13th of July with amongst others Seeds in Barren Fields . Unluckily it was Friday 13th so the bands had to copy with some technical issues. But the spirit was there, and the result turned out pretty good..

A few days later, I had the wonderful timing of seeing 2 great bands. The norwegian dark in feeling black metal Okkultokrati and the great recent discovery (at least for me) of the stoner/ sludge/ metal triad, Black Tusk. I can say that the energy throughout the whole gig was amazing. Black Tusk closed the live by playing Crossroads and Thunder, which Ive concluded is my favourite song of their latest album Set the Trial. I also found out that they ve  made a few splits lately, including a 7" split with Holy Mountain on No Idea Records. (who you should check out btw! )

After a light Swedish rainy summer weekend, followed another pleasant discovery of the swedish doom/ sludge band Pyramido. After Pyramidos great performance, which had enslaved the mind of the "crowd", it was Eyehategods turn. To be honest I was rather dissapointed, since it felt like they couldnt play as they should...perhaps, they had a few drinks more than they should.....

The climax came in the end of the trip to the Scandinavian centre, and that was during a city fest in Gothenburg. I am planning on writing a post pretty soon with all the details, but I can say that after seeing 7 seconds, Adolescents and Refused on Jazzhuset, I couldnt feel anything else but redemption. Here you have, at least for now, some pictures taken from lukinzine.

MONO- Dream Odyssey

From the title you might guess the emotion of this new released song by the japanese post-rock band MONO.  This is surely a small taste of what their next double album For my parents, which btw will be released in one month, will sound like. Ive always had a thing for MONO. As if their japanese culture, gives a totally different signature to their music, you can actually connect to their "postrock" in a unique way. They tend to call themselves contemporary/ modern and classic musicians, and by listening to their 2 weeks old stream, I think theyve got all the right to do so.

Enjoy// Captain

Train Rail Playlist.

Travelling in the swedish woods, by train. Loads of time to kill, loads of music to listen to. I just wanted to share this one.

Enjoy, Captain.

TY Segall

It was a while, and I am glad to present to you the discovery of the month.  Im not so sure about this artist's inspiration concerning the name (perhaps he is a great steven seagal fan), but his music surely sounds great.

With several solo albums and a diversity of splits in his pocket, TY Segall came to the surface of the music industry in 2008.  

Influenced by a variety of bands from the 60s and 70s, such as The Stooges, ( I can also say that the distorted guitars and rythm sounds a little bit like the Detroit rocknroll MC5) he mixes it all up in a more modern and alternative kinda post- rock- glamish sound. I just love it.

Fortunately I came across his music (as the TY Segall Band though) by buying his freshly released album Slaughterhouse under In the Red Records.  

Here you have a little taste of them. I hope you like it.

Cheers,

Captain.

What goes around Comes Around.

I just love the feeling when a song describes exactly how you feel. It's like you've got a spokesman who screams out to the whole wide world how you feel and what you think. It is so helpful when you feel so overwhelmed, filled with consuming emotions that stand in the way for a logical expression.  The words your mouth cannot speak, the feelings your brain cannot set in order, are reflected in just this one song, you listen to day in and day out, on repeat. 

Keep up with all the lies, keep up with everything 

Because no matter how hard you try everything will still be the same 

You think you've got it all and you think that this is just a game 

But it's going to hurt so bad when you wake up from your dream 

You wasted everything 

I can't believe i used to count on you 

I can't believe that i believed you 

Everything you stood for is now a joke 

You've gotten away with it for now but it is not the end 

What goes around comes around 

I hope that's true i know it's true 

It happens to everyone and i'll laugh at your face 

When it happens to you 

You're going against your own beliefs 

Those are some beliefs if you can't live up to what you preach 

You just proved, that you're a fucking fake 

You wasted everything, You wasted everything 

I can't believe i used to count on you 

I can't believe that i believed you 

Everything you stood for is now a joke 

You've gotten away with it for now but it is not the end 

You wasted everything, but it is not the end 

I can't always say, what i want to 

I can't always say, that's not right for you 

And this time i won't open my mouth 

You need to learn, from all the shit you've pulled 

you're gonna feel real small when it comes back to you

It Comes back to Haunt you. 

'Bitter Clarity, Uncommon Grace'

In less than a month, will Verse's new album "Bitter Clarity, Uncommon Grace" be released. Since Aggression, which I believe is their strongest album (also released through Bridge 9 Records) I think that we can expect much from them. I don't want to comment all that straight/ break edge decisions/ lifestyle, since it's not my interest to criticise those values, but I do hope that they will be "reviewed" fairily. Some of the songs have "leaked out" days ago, but you can pre-order the album on the Bridge 9.

Here you have the Selfless of the Earth, which was upstreamed on absolutepunk one month ago.

Ciao,

Captain.
