EXPERIMENTAL-ROCK. After few below the average solo albums in line, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez returned with great one again. Previous duet with John Frusciante release was extremely raw, and could be counted as rehearsal recording only. From the very 1st sounds you will understand what this album is all about - deeply psychedelic guitar jamming with plenty of synth and electronic effects. But differently from many similar O.R.L. - there is spacey atmospheric sound, excellent guitar works, complex rhythmic structures, many jazz fusion elements. And almost no chaotic cacophony at all! It could attract many of the former MARS VOLTA fans.
POST-ROCK. "moondrifts" is the 1st full-length from this Brooklyn, NY band and features 2 LPs worth of synth and guitar-driven layered sounds influenced by SIGUR ROS and RADIOHEAD. The amount of refinement honed by the collective members over the many years of crafting records and crashing on floors, both apart and collectively, shines like a great beacon across the saturated seas of newer and more derivative bands going for what GHASTLY CITY SLEEP truly delivers to listeners. From the chilling opener all the way through to the stirring conclusion, "moondrifts" is an entire album of unclassifiable music that pushes everything forward whilst simultaneously feeling like an old friend. Played by ex-members of bands like DARKEST HOUR, PG.99, CITY OF CATERPILLAR, and MAJORITY RULE.
INDIE-ROCK. The new record began with the same surprise turn that started CORIN TUCKER's career back in 1991, ended SLEATER KINNEY's 11-year year run in 2006 and inspired the punk-feminist rocker to redefine herself as a stay-at-home mom. "1000 years" deliver wrenching rhythms and hard-angle melodies, the slashing guitar and the wildly passionate vocals of Corin. The hard edges come nestled in lush weaves of acoustic guitars, keyboards,interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins, which places "1000 Years" deep into Tucker's creative headwaters - another addition to her 20-year catalogue of restless songs for restless spirits.
Featuring members of Time For Change, Seven Generations, Restrained, and Abandon, Agosto Espias bring their debut 7", which mixes the '90s emo hardcore of Ebullition bands with the rougher edges of crossover metal.
POST-ROCK/INSTRUMENTAL. KHUDA are an instrumental two-piece from Leeds, UK. They have been making noise together since 2007 and have progressed their sound greatly since then into a multi-amped mix of dark progressions and peaks. From ringing guitars to thudding mach waves, from buried melodies to lurching power drones, KHUDA will satisfy with sounds both strange and familiar. "palingenesia" is their newest effort and features 6 tracks with a total playin time of nearly 40min..
NOISE/POST-PUNK. GRIDS, from North Carolina, play ultra-distorted, grimy, feedback-drenched noise-punk with crushing repetitive precision. This LP delivers their heaviest and most damaged material to date. Comparisons could be drawn to bands like CHERUBS, PISSED JEANS, MANNEQUIN or even a punker,
POST-HARDCORE. ENVY has been blurring lines between hardcore, experimental, ambient music and sheer emotion for nearly 2 decades and continue to bend genres with 2010's "recitation". It’s no surprise that ENVY have increasingly found inspiration in instrumental-rock and experimental ambient music - genres that historically circumvent cultural trappings. With each album since their inception in the early ‘90s the group have chipped away at the linguistic and cultural barriers inherent in international rock music. "recitation" is a fully realized vision from a band at their most inspired.
PROGRESSIVE-HARDCORE. After the self release of their "losing everything" demo, Rhode Island's own CONVULSIONS properly introduce themselves with their debut 7", "the reaper's gift". This treatment is split into 4 equal parts coursing with a seamless blend of chaotic math work, coin-dropping signature changes and sundering pedal layers reminiscent of early BOTCHG and DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, yet coupled with a grittier, darker, rolling undertone not unlike the Melvins. This record comes with a hand silk-screened layout. With original block-print art from the band, hand stamped center labels and a hand type-written insert.

Tracklist:
POST-ROCK. "the way out", the fourth album by THE BOOKS, is the 1st in five years from the celebrated Northeastern duo. This album is indeed a new beginning. Over the course of 3 albums in nearly a decade’s time, THE BOOKS have grown to become one of modern music’s most genuine innovators. Creatively complex and truly unclassifiable, "the way out" continues THE BOOKS’ tradition of meticulous, existential songcraft, infusing the playfully surreal elements of previous albums with a humorous, childlike excitement.
Okkultokrati have been around for a couple of years now and feature members from Haust and Hombre Malo. They play bitter and dirty punk metal drenched in the stench of Poison Idea, Celtic Frost and High on Fire!
INDIE-ROCK/EXPERIMENTAL. "the living breathing organ summer" is the new full-length from Detroit's CHILD BITE. Like a perfectly balanced amphetamine drunk, "the living breathing organ summer" exudes euphoria, urgency, baseless paranoia and a mild sense of vertigo. With their most recent effort, CHILD BITE seems to have thrown caution to the wind - mashing their punk vigor with avant-garde ideals into a no-fluff sound that is both consistently danceable and.jpg)
SCREAMO-HARDCORE. After their split with HIRO, BRUME RETINA are back with a full-length by it's own. Expect a rawer sound that still manages to keep the melodic aspect that we know from the French emo/screamo-scene. BRUME RETINA is comparable to their french fellows in AUSSITOT MORT and DAITRO.
New Songs from Hombre Malo and Jack & The Bearded Fishermen. 
POST-ROCK/INSTRUMENTAL. "in never out" is the 2nd album from Sweden's instrumental/postrock band PG.LOST. An orchestra of heart, a playground for the long lost sporadic thoughts of giving in or getting back. PG.LOST is a band of many directions, but most of all a band throbbing with great melancholy grinding against the precious high hopes of not just individual human thinking and feeling, but also contrasts within pushing the sonic boundaries of endless instrumental experiments of prolonging.
HARDCORE. Marking the 2010 U.S. tour of Texas’s WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and Japan’s veteran hardcore band SLANG, this 7" combines 2 guitar driven blasts of hardcore fury. SLANG celebrate classic Japanese fast hardcore with devastating guitar driven breakdown. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH similarly continue to evolve from caustic bursts of corrosive thrashing to a tempered attack stitched by a melodic guitar riff and glued solid with torrential drum bashing, volatile guitar blasts and harsh vocals.afterpre.com
HARDCORE. This is the deebut 7" of this young Barcelona band. You'll get 6 tracks of ultra agressive hardcore that will fit right in between other Barcelona acts such as SIBERIA or early INVASION. Fast and sharp energy bursts with manic drumming and no time to waste. The whole 7" clocks at 5min., divide that by 6 songs and you get an idea.
Ohio is rotting. Fistula once again team up with Crucial Blast to deliver another heavy dose of their septic, filthy, lumbering death-sludge in the form of Goat, a five-song Ep of low-fi and low-end nihilistic filth and rabies-laced caveman thrash with songs based on the ghoulish discovery and subsequent investigation of the eleven decomposing bodies found in the Cleveland home of Anthony Sowell in the Autumn of 2009. This new disc delivers more of the pulverizing, slime-covered sludge and primitive death metal rot that these Buckeye barbarians have been carving out in the back of Medina garages over the past ten years, continuing to follow in the coagulated blood tracks of Frost, Autopsy and Winter, but filtered through Fistula's uniquely mangled and inebriated scum-haze and utterly negatory worldview. 
OSMOSIS is a solo project of Mika (member from Third Worlds Mourning), based in the concept of different atmospheres in the realms of brutal death metal. After several months, 4 songs were made, all with different feelings but linked in the lyrics department, for they tread upon similar subjects like agnosticism, theology and war.
Gainesville's BATTLE has been extensively touring for the last couple years - gaining a reputation for wild live shows full of blistering fast singalong anthems while keeping a hardworking d.i.y. ethic. "closer/further" shows BATTLE expanding their songwriting with a more brooding dark and heavy sound while staying true to their fast paced punk roots in the vein of COMEBACK KID, MODERN LIFE IS WAR. Colored 7" includes digital download.
Blackstorm are five musicians from Brighton playing the heaviest of rock music. Deftly combining elements of drone, stoner, down-tuned sludge with classic rock and the vitality of hardcore and punk, Blackstorm combines crushingly heavy, catchy-ashell riffs with juggernaut proportioned rhythmic grooves and killer hook laden vocals.
Blackstorm take their musical cues from heavy weights such as Crowbar and High On Fire, but are no mere carbon-copyists. The quality of material on display here is a testament to the collective experience of the five musicians.
Eschewing the trappings of the contemporary scene, Blackstorm is a throwback to a time when music was created intuitively, without the self-conscious fashion driven posturing and cynical second-guessing that seems to be inextricably linked to today’s breed of bands.
Having met in late ’06 the five piece quickly realized that they had met musical kindred spirits in each other, and immediately started exchanging ideas. Fast forward to the summer of ‘09 and Blackstorm have played local shows with the likes of Cancer Bats, Kruger, Miramar Disaster, Johnny Truant and have recorded half a dozen killer songs.
Desde Mendoza (tierra de hombres recios si los hay) llega este cuarteto instrumental con una propuesta que es cualquier cosa menos fácil de definir y/o encasillar. La primera referencia que se me viene a la mente al escucharlos es Dysrhythmia, aunque ellos reconocen influencias de Dub Trio, The Dillinger Escape Plan y todo lo que haga Mike Patton. La cosa arranca con el tema que da nombre al grupo, un breve y frenético paseo entre el Thrash y el Funk. Le sigue “Plana”, donde conviven sin problemas y en menos de dos minutos una especie de Helmet más luminoso y una psicodelia de claros tintes Progresivos.
A terminado su álbum numero 13, junto a su nuevo guitarrista Matt .el titulo es mas que suficiente – 18 temas nuevos . La típica mezcla de Mad Sin de psicodelico, rock and roll y punk el surf suena mas fresco que nunca . Una fiesta para los oídos.
