Part of that package from Italian promotion agency Atomic Stuff (see also reviews of SilentLie and Hypnotheticall, posted 22/09/2013), I found but little info on this Italian Prog Metal band, except for the facts that it consists of lead singer Alex “Kage” Cangini, guitarist Andrea “Bana” Anastasi, keyboardist Filippo “Phil” Marignano, bassist/ backing singer Stefano
Lübeck (North Of Germany, situated some 65 km NW from Hamburg), May 2009 : guitarist Benjamin Botev decided to found a band which would bring both brutal yet never too simple Thrash Metal. For his initial accomplices, he picks singer Dennis Schwartz (then just recently departed from the now defunct Thrash Metal act Smoking Valves), a bassist known only as Björn, and a drummer denominated as “Pit”. “Initial accomplices”, meaning changes were due in the line-up later on.
This Marseille based French Groove/ Industrial Metal act was founded in the year 2000 by singer/ samples provider Shawter, out of a previous band which he'd started up in 1997, and to which drummer Franky Costanza (formerly also of Imperial and Outburst, since 2005 also part of the Black/ Industrial Metal band Blazing War Machine) and bassist Werther respectively joined in 1998 and 1999.
Baroness’ previous album was a strong piece of work, but not all fans seemed to be delighted by it.
Hum...Badmotorfinger? I seem to remember a Belgian Stoner quartet from Antwerp, which released a demo-EP entitled Muchas Gracias Motherfurckers some time ago...so don't confuse the Bologna based Italian Heavy Metal act by the same name (which we're dealing with here) with the aforementioned, okay?!
Aha, a re-acquaintance...because I (as well as then colleague Trik) reviewed this band's debut album Angular Perceptions (Trik's review and my own were posted 03/03 and 20/03 of that year, respectively, and can be found for your scrutiny and fact-finding needs in this website's “Archive” section), and as it turns out...I won't have to tell you too much about the band's adventures in between that debut and this, the sophomore album, because Thought Chamber was never meant to be more than a studio project, apparently (correct me if I
During last weekend, the editor-in-chief came up to my place with a total of 17 CD's, 2 DVD's, and no less than 41 download albums for me to review...and the statement that there were also some InsideOut Music download releases which needed my attention first (in spite of our rule that we review actual albums before the downloads), because the local promoter was getting on his back.
This Italian Heavy/ Gothic Rock act from Trieste (the most extreme eastern coastal town in Italy's North, almost bordering the Slovenian border) was founded in 2005 by singer Giorgia Sacco Taz and guitarist Luigi Pressacco, who had an idea of a keyboard-infused Gothic Rock based on Heavy Rock riffs and Giorgia's obscure and introspective lyrics.
You know, before I checked more seriously, I could've sworn that I reviewed Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie's previous solo album, 2010's Static Impulse, but it turns out that that job was left to colleague Erik (see his review posted 08/12/2010), and I was simply given ample opportunity to listen to the album, thanks to work sessions at the ConcreteWeb headquarters (as per usual when I listen to an album, I must've formed a review in my mind – I mean, I even remember checking data on the info sheet th
We just recently received a package sent to us by Italian agency Atomic Stuff, who apparently do promotional work for the labels logic(il)logic Records and Street Symphonies Records, with the occasional unsigned act on the side (which they then manage to get product distribution through the same as does the labels). Actually, I've been thinking that perhaps the promotion agency was brought to life by the labels themselves which, by the way, seem to be linked somehow.
