Hey everyone JB here with you again, wow, time has definitely been going fast lately, can you believe we are here in September already, the years are flying by anymore it seems, and when your as busy as I am and have been recently, it seems like time flies so fast, you don’t know where one day started and one night ended. Well we are finally at music review time and have I got a Heavy set of music reviews coming your way.
Let’s go ahead jump on in and get right into it…
We will start out with Apocalyptica and their new album 7th Symphony.
Definitely a new invigorated sound, much darker and more melodic on the new album here today, it is definitely as polished as one would think a technically precise metal album would be, tracks of note here are “End Of Me” feat. Gavin Rossdale which some of you may know from his first band “Bush” or even from his self-titled solo records, definitely an excellent song here with this one. One of my personal favorites however; is a track (which to me) they should have kept going is called “Through Paris In A Sports Car” it is a track that is a fast attack on the mind and the senses, sending you into a “James Bond-esque” type of world almost as if you are speeding through Europe on a secret mission for the fictitious MI6 dept, definitely a track worth listening to and experiencing. Another track on the favorites list is a track called “2010” it is a machine gun attack of sonic clairvoyance, pummeling drums, and a melody that is a juggernaut of sound, it hits you hard and fast, leaves you lying on the floor trying to catch your breath, this is one track you definitely cannot miss here. Overall this entire album is a direct progression forward from their last album “Worlds Collide” more melodic in some areas and more metal in others and a blast to listen too. Check it out.
The next album in our review of many, is by a group called “In This Moment” and their new record titled,
A Star-Crossed Wasteland” is sonically a metal monstrosity of heaviness and melodic overtones. If you are a fan of female fronted metal bands, then this is one record you definitely do not want to miss out on.
The tracks of note here that stand out are, the first track called “The Gun Show” & the next track following called “Blazin” they are a brutal attack with a prowess to rip out your jugular, spit it back out at you and have you come back for the onslaught of the hardcore machine gun drumming that follows, which is an attack on all of the senses. There are also moments of tranquility on the record shattered by real emotion and pain, and total insanity within the albums listed tracks. It is a solid effort by the group with this being their third album (I believe) and out of eight cylinders is definitely hitting on six of them and is a good listen for car trips with friends for a day, coming in just shy of forty-five minutes. Check it out.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE........
- JB
