Some of the albums listed here are from artists that I mainly liked at a much younger age. You'll probably recognize them, because the music on those albums is quite different from the music that I mostly listen to nowadays =p

With the new album, Filewile have made the transition from dubby laptop duo to a dub driven band. Along the way, Filewile integrated the raw power of their live performances into their production methods. They now thoroughly cherish the imperfections of analogue instrumentation, tape machine and the iconic Space Echo. At the same time the human voice has moved centerstage in the Filewile sound - being used and abused as a musical instrument all over the album.

Press Quotes:

Musicweek UK: Filewile tap into the madcap genius tradition started by
fellow swiss agent provocateurs Yello….

Der Bund Switzerland: …Ihr neues Album ist ein Meisterwerk mit Hit und höchst holprigen Beats…

Strangefruitmusic UK: they actually do sound weird but in a good way…So if you think you are ready for something that kinda sounds familiar but turns out to be something completely different I suggest you check ‘em out!

music.ch: …Alles närrisch gut und autark. “Blueskywell” ist der Pop des
nächsten Jahrzehnts…

Mahoganyblog USA: …So instead of breaking the adjectives out, have a listen for
yourself and think Groove Armada meets Erykah Badu after
they split a pill….

Bieler Tagblatt: ….spacig und elektrisierend, gespickt mit Effekten aus einem Science-Fiction- Film der Siebziger.….Ein Berner Produkt mit globalem Charme.

Annabelle: …Die Schweizer Band-Ueberraschung des Jahres.

Themahoganyblog: …So instead of breaking the adjectives out, have a listen for yourself and think Groove Armada meets Erykah Badu after they split a pill….

Neue Luzerner Zeitung: …Gut gepolstert, mit starken Basspulsen, vielseitiger Stimme und urbaner Aufgedrehtheit.

Flyglobal UK: …And if you can imagine Ozzy Osborne doing 8-bit cover versions of Augustus Pablo (not as bad as it sounds), go for ‘King Of The World’. In fact, this could be the track of the album but there’s some stiff competition with Joy giving her best Grace Jones impression on ‘Iron Lady’ that gets a guest appearance by another FLY favourite, RQM) .

Blueskywell

Una prueba de divinidad extrema. ¿Acaso no es el título más épico posible para un álbum? Téngase en cuenta que tan sólo nos están ofreciendo una prueba; el día en que la divinidad extrema descienda realmente sobre nosotros más nos vale que Dios nos pille confesados (valga la redundancia).

Si me preguntasen cuál es la banda de melodic death metal más fuerte, más fiel a los orígenes, pensaría rápidamente en Hypocrisy, pues son un grupo que a pesar de haberse orientado más hacia dicho género en la última década, no han olvidado que una vez fueron una banda de genuino death metal. Temas como Warpath o Craving for Another Killing eran mezclas perfectas de absoluta brutalidad y fantástica melodía, y a pesar de que con este último álbum se inclinan más por lo segundo, sigue siendo death metal. Más o menos.

Suelo bromear con que Valley Of The Damned es una cover de DragonForce. Nada más lejos de la realidad, pues el carácter pasteloso de StudioFarce no tiene nada que ver con la maestría que Peter Tägtgren y demás muestran en esta mágnifica canción con su excelente interludio. La melodía y los ritmos medios dominan el álbum; Hang Him High y Solar Empire son los mejores ejemplos de ello, con grandes riffs y estribillos bastante pegadizos. La velocidad también tiene lugar: Weed Out The Weak es una de las mejores ejecuciones de melodeath que se me ocurren; empieza de modo brutal, tiene riffs asesinos y un excelente solo.

Pero la mejor canción del álbum es la que le da nombre. Épica intro seguida por deliciosos blast beats y riffs de puro death metal, es la clase de tema que inspira deseos de arrasar con lo que haya delante.

Tan sólo tengo dos problemas con este disco. En primer lugar, como ya se ha dicho, la mayoría de las canciones son de ritmo medio. Por supuesto, la lenta melancolía de No Tomorrow y Sky Is Falling Down es fantástica, pero tengo la impresión de que no habría estado fuera de lugar un poco más de velocidad en canciones como Alive o Global Domination. En segundo lugar, después de Taste The Extreme Divinity, da la sensación de que el álbum cae un poco. De ningún modo se hace monótono, pero no es tan impresionante como la primera mitad. Problemas menores, realmente, considerando lo bueno que es el disco en general. Muy recomendable.

Journal 2.5

Blitzkrieg “Holy Inscription”

Skullbreaker

On their debut album “Total Thrash Terror”, Skullbreaker, performed a sort of old thrash meets groove metal. It starts off with a pounding intro and a screaming maniac which makes you feel very nervous about the whole album. They are kind of annoying but after a few songs they calm down and begin to take a surprising hold of you. The backing is very good and quite technical. The guitars draw you in with a speed thrash sense off catchiness and spontaneous solos. Spread throughout there is tremendous capacity of variety but also room for improvement. The drums show this with the style being very technical with great creative skills with the sticks. Their mid-paced efforts of “Mighty Hunter” and “Why” wind down the album with great measure. At first it seems the singer just ran-out of steam in the studio but then it dawns on you that they were just giving the listener the breather. Overall, a very good one-off band, apparently active but I doubt they actually are.

E-X-E – “Stricken By Might”

Manipulated Slaves – “Burst Into Blue Flame”, “Over The Black Ocean” and “Oath in Black Tears”

Serpent Obscene

The late nineties were pretty affluent with the new school thrash bands and here is one of them. Serpent Obscene, with their self titled album, created a low production thrash influenced that aimed on speed over progression but it perfectly lays down what it is there to do. Other reviewers disliked their debut album because of its low thrash grunts, monotonous riffs with inadequate hooks to keep it a little bit interesting and yes the extremely fast drums that show no recollection of technique other than smashing them to pieces. However, all this leads to the point that thrash is meant to have the same formula, the same speed and the same type of vocals throughout and this band does exactly that. Their debut is a terrific piece of thrash material but later on their career it seems to go a bit down hill.

Obliveon

Extreme progressive thrash metal artists do not often astray too far from the boundaries of progressive metal. However, the band that changed my view on the best progressive band (That of Mekong Delta) came to be Obliveon. At first the name reminds you of a sort of hipster band like Metallica, but idiotic names do tend to do actual good music once in awhile. The vocals are crisp, clean and effective that pays homage to bands like Overkill or Deathwish. This is carried on by the extremely catchy and mid-paced riffs that bind together the technical drumming, from Alain Demers who edges the band to technical thrash metal with his extreme variety, action packed drum work and fills. Overall, the band is more or less an mid-paced Overkill with their ‘fast’ extracts from songs being the mid-paced version of Overkill’s. A very well crafted album and band with a lot of good albums within their solid discography to keep any budding thrash fan’s interest. Other Albums: “Nemesis” and “Cybervoid”

Mace – “Process of Elimination”
