Roamer – new album & video out now

At the beginning there is a single, ardent mating call. The beat is as dirty as a rubber fetish suit. With bulky, asymmetrical interventions the locked-in guitar struggles for air. In addition, a falsetto voice is praising the pleasures of skin, loins and other flesh. Finally, the guitar fights its way to the deserved liberation with a bold, dissonant solo. The song “Open My Pants” was composed for a performance at the Coq d’ Or restaurant in Olten as part of a series of events that dealt with an artistic confrontation with the aesthetics of pornography. Tackling a difficult challenge like this is typical of Roamer.

DOPETHRONE: insane new video “Killdozer”

DOPETHRONE plays “Slutch Metal”, a foul Canadian mix of yellow snow, crackhead diarrhea, blood, tears and broken dreams. This new album “Transcanadian Anger” follows in with the trio’s widely acclaimed fourth full-length “Hochelaga” (2015) and pushes their pervasive, filthy brand of sludge metal to its most extreme and intoxicating levels. This is eight punishing tracks of the highest order, a no-frills-given riff carnage with all the sleaze and groove you can expect from a DOPETHRONE record, while embracing the band’s punk and hardcore roots as never before.
