ETHEREAL TOMB Announce Doom Album When The Rivers Dry
ETHEREAL TOMB deliver a poignant message throughout When The Rivers Dry. Shrouded in a gloomy storm of anguish filled harsh vocals and thundering distorted instruments, the album’s title track illustrates the intrinsic links between capitalism and colonialism. The oppressor’s greed and forced ecocide extends to not only indigenous nations, it will eventually affect everyone. “Victim Mentality” unleashes a sombre, slow pace through its weighty rhythms before building intensity to a dark end, while “Reclamation” brings an aggressive onslaught of descending rhythms and crashing cymbals. When The Rivers Dry draws to a close with the haunting drones of “The Sufferance of Mourning”. Foreboding rhythms and soaring lead melodies produce a stark contrast.

Monsta X’s SHOWNU & HYUNGWON Release 1st Joint Mini Album

The words we say, the actions we show in reality and the gaze that changes depending on the viewer; all create another interpretation of us and another new side of ‘ourself’. Countless gazes create who we are. Sometimes we get confused about who we really are, but the ‘me’ in the eyes of others is also still ‘me’. The version of ‘me’ that you love is a part of who we are and we will keep trying to become that person you love.

Duff McKagan shares new song; new album out Oct 20
“I picture him as an old guy with white beard and hair, leaning up against a wall on a city street,” says Duff McKagan. “The ultimate jurist of us all. Pissed off, squinting eyes to ward off what he sees, spitting frequently with no care for who may be around. The Creator. God. Allah, Shiva…or whomever. I think I see him sometimes over on 10th St., hands in tight fists, and toes curled up and tense.”
ĠENN release ‘Calypso’ single | Debut LP ‘unum’ Oct 6
Anglo-Maltese quartet ĠENN reveal new single ‘Calypso’ today. Debut album unum is out October 6th through Liminal Collective.
‘Calypso’ is the most understated cut from the record so far. Dreamy guitars underpin vocalist Leona Farugia – who barely raises her voice above a whisper. Resonating sax lines add to the oneiric atmosphere, before cymbals crash into life during the latter half – still only ever heard at a distance, so the effect is psychedelic and symphonic, rather than caustic.
