Bring Me The Horizon: Sempiternal


 Bring Me The Horizon: Sempiternal
   
   You would have to be blind, deaf, without any form of respectable taste in music and to have not heard any of Sempiternal, to try and deny Bring Me The Horizon their very deserved victory and success. 
   Almost from the moment this revolutionary band was formed, they have divided people and opinions more than Marmite could ever dream too achieve. But that division ends here. It ends right now, with the release of the untouchable Sempiternal. 
   The diversity of sounds on the album is astounding. There are slower, clean sung tracks like the breathtaking opener "Can You Feel My Heart" and the equally impressive "And The Snakes Start To Sing". The deep rooted Metal-core strains are still present on Sempiternal and infact the scull battering heaviness on "The House Of Wolves" and the Linkin Park reminiscent "Empire (Let Them Sing)", is sure to be enough to earn the songs a spot on the bands already swollen list of live favorites. 
   The diverse nature of the album has the result of giving every song a completely independent and unique sound. Bring Me The Horizon's previous releases all contained technical and electronic backing, but nothing like this. The incredible atmosphere and sound-scapes created by the electronics, gives songs like the unsurpassed "Shadow Moses", an addictive and completely encapsulating sound.   
   For those who have been fans of the band since the start, fear not, the tradition of having dinosaur sized anthems has remained. In fact the latest addition to the family of monolithic, lung collapsing anthems, is possibly the greatest yet. "Antivist" contains city leveling riffs and a chorus you can't help screaming along too, that is also guaranteed to get you thrown out of church. 
   Anyone who can listen to Sempiternal and then genuinely declare that it is rubbish, or that Bring Me The Horizon don't deserve their success, clearly either haven't been paying any attention or are lying through their teeth while try to resist moshing to the songs like a cat being electrocuted. So if your already a fan of the band that is leading the rising British Metal scene, or if you've been try to belittle the band as they continue to rise in success, without actually giving them a chance, then give it a go. Sempiternal is only going to change minds and attitudes for the better.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
