I’d just like to send out a special congratulations to David who runs Thumper Punk for reaching the 10 year milestone. I remember hooking up with the label back near the beginning and during our last complete site overhaul. A lot of great punk stuff has come out of this label in the past 10 years some of which many of you probably didn’t know existed. Check out this special digital release featuring new recordings by some of the earliest Thumper Punk Records bands below via bandcamp.… Continued →

Every so often a song will pique my interest from a new artist that seemingly comes out of nowhere. This new song “Follow” off the upcoming album from new artist Hallowell takes you on a spiritual journey through beautiful forest-like soundscapes and layered touches of pure magical joy. That’s the best description I can offer when explaining this new song from Hallowell. I could drop in the standard RIYL type sentence but really Hallowell is an artist all his own. Check out the new song “Follow” below.… Continued →

There may be a few bands under a variation of this name but the heavy music duo known as TETELESTAI have been going at it for nearly 10 years and are here to present their nail biting, ear crushing new ep. Get pummeled and crushed by the biting sound of this band. The duo brings about heavy music in a unique manner and presents an ep set worth of songs without sacrificing the heaviness. This is a refreshing take on the genre and something I am sure the majority of IVM heavy music fans will instantly appreciate.… Continued →

Amongst the Giants released a beautifully scathing album, “Obscene” last year. If you haven’t heard it yet, you’re really missing out. On my personal “Best of 2018” list, I gave them the #1 spot for a reason. Give it a listen and I think you’ll quickly see why. But I digress. Just a couple weeks ago, the guys released a new music video for the song “Too Late”. The video is really impacting and touches on some pretty real issues a lot of people face. Great message.… Continued →

I’ll Always Be the Same is a tiring listen. For an album that focuses on negative thoughts and emotions, the lyrics really accentuate the music. Human psychology is paradoxical in the sense that even when emotions and thoughts seem to repeat themselves, they can never actually be the same qualitatively, since they occur at different points in time. The music of The Drowned God is an effigy of consciousness, for the song structures are entirely unpredictable, even when there is repetition at either the lyrical or musical level.… Continued →

So, 2018 is behind us, another year on the books. After having put together a list of my favorite releases for the year, I decided to try going in the opposite direction and form a list of the albums I’m anticipating most in the coming year. Now, a bit of a heads up before we dig in; I am almost certainly missing some albums here. Some may have escaped my attention, and I’m sure there are more to be announced yet as well. All mentioned below I’m sure are coming this year, but a specific date has yet to be given.… Continued →
