SHOCK NARCOTIC: Detroit Grind Ensemble Featuring Current/Former Members Of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Child Bite, Shit Life, The Black Dahlia Murder, And Battlecross

Detroit grind ensemble SHOCK NARCOTIC will release their debut full-length, I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn’t Work, this August via Housecore Records.

Forged in 2018, SHOCK NARCOTIC features former The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Jeff Tuttle, Child Bite vocalist Shawn Knight, current Shit Life/former The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Zach Gibson, and Battlecross bassist Don Slater, spewing forth a vicious synthesis of grind, metal, and hardcore. Mastered by Brad Boatright (Converge, Integrity, Obituary) with guest backing vocals by Full Of Hell’s Dylan Walker, the fourteen tracks that make up I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn’t Work are a whirlwind of dystopian dread and existential nihilism. Decibel Magazine lauds its, “quick bursts of frustration…,” and, “effective combination of past and present into one bowl of bitterness.”

TIDES FROM NEBULA ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM “FROM VOODOO TO ZEN”

After a three year break Tides From Nebula, one of the most respected European instrumental bands, will return with their much anticipated fifth studio album “From Voodoo to Zen”. It will be their first album as a trio and is scheduled to be released on September 20, 2019 via Long Branch Records (SPV) and Mystic Production.

“It seems that being a three piece made us work harder and challenged us to write better music. I’m pretty sure this is one of the reasons the album ended up sounding so rich and epic,” states guitarist Maciej Karbowski. “Musically and visually this new record is a sidestep for us, which came subconsciously. We just followed our gut feeling and as we were recording in our own recording studio, we could work on every small detail and I am sure that this album will develop with every listen. We are super curious about the listeners reaction.”

Topshelf Records // Korean artist Mid-Air Thief joins Topshelf Records

“Mid-Air Thief’s decision to draw from their earlier electronic work—specifically that every sound is an instrument, and that it can be manipulated—also gives the album a sense of unpredictability, of the ground underneath constantly shifting and prompting unexpected charm. Sounds and voices constantly get warped while splashes of synthesizer splatter across songs, adding tension to otherwise pretty creations, like the tempo-flipping jaunt “Curve and Light,” and making the finale of autumnal slow-burn “Ahhhh, These Chains!”—a number starting with calming bell chimes and vocal harmonies that gradually blur together before eventually giving way to blasts of guitar—hit all the harder.” – Bandcamp Daily
