OBESE - Anamnesis
"Anamnesis"
Release Date: October 20th, 2017
Label: Argonauta Records
Country: Holland
Genre: Stoner Sludge Metal
Tracklist:
1. Agony
2. Dunderhead
3. Mother Nature
4. Anthropoid
5. Human Abstract
6. Ymir
7. Behexed
8. Psychic Secretion
Ritorno in grande stile per gli olandesi Obese, che dopo un esordio ampiamente positivo come “Kali Yuga” (risalente a 2 anni fa) sfornano un lavoro davvero devastante.
Anamnesis è pesantissimo ma non monocorde, fantasioso e ben lontano dai soliti 3 riffs ultradistorti che caratterizzano molti lavori sludge. Il sound degli Obese è voluminoso, “grasso” (d’altra parte con un monicker del genere…) ma si nutre di ritmi convulsi, di sprazzi psichedelici e di situazioni imprevedibili.
Parte del merito va attribuito al cantante Vladimir Stevic, dotato di una voce duttile, in grado di passare con facilità da toni puliti e melodici ad un cantato ruvido e catramoso.
Di “Dunderhead” è stato girato anche un videoclip, ed è il brano più diretto del lavoro, un classico stoner rock trascinante e ultraheavy. Ben più complesse appaiono “Agony” e l’allucinata “Mother Nature”, in cui elementi di sound anni ’70 si fondono ad uno sludge devastante e abrasivo. Certi spunti di “Anthropoid” potrebbero addirittura ricordare gli Hawkwind, mentre “Human Abstract” ha matrici blues talmente drogate e stravolte da essere irriconoscibili. E che dire di “Behexed”, con i suoi flashes di chitarra visionaria a squarciare un’atmosfera da incubo.
45 minuti di stoner-sludge di alto livello, originale e emozionante come non lo si sentiva da tempo.

Ph. © Jani Kakko
Finnish troll/folk metal band Verikalpa released their fist music video 'Tyrmä'. The track is taken from their upcoming debut album 'Taistelutahto' which is released February 16th 2018 by Inverse Records.
Keyboard player Jussi Sauvola comment:
"Verikalpa proudly presents one of the faster songs from the Taistelutahto album! The song has groovy riffs combined with catchy melodies all combined to a package that goes like a freight train. Ladies and Gentlemen hide your livers and daughters, this is Tyrmä"
Verikalpa is a Troll/Beer-metal band from the Northern city of Oulu in Finland. They combine groovy riffs and rhythms with twisted folk melodies with a very Finnish touch. The lyrics are in Finnish and more specifically in the accent of Oulu. The songs are tales about drinking, hangovers, trolls and of course bloodspattered eternal battles. Verikalpa is formed by six musicians from bands such as CATAMENIA and QUAKE THE EARTH and this experienced group of musicians deliver their music with a firm touch and with an energetic live show.

DESERT WIZARDS - Beyond The Gates Of The Cosmic Kingdom
“Beyond The Gates Of The Cosmic Kingdom”
Release Date: on 29 June 2017
Label: Black Widow Records
Genre: Hard Rock - Doom - Psichedelia
Country: Italy
Tracklist:
1. Astral Master
2. Dogstar
3. Born Loser
4. Red Sun
5. The Man Who Rode The Time
6. Distant Memories
7. Snakes
8. A Light In The Fog
Tornano i Desert Wizards, quartetto di Ravenna giunto al terzo lavoro, il secondo su Black Widow Records dopo un esordio autoprodotto. Come molte produzioni dell’etichetta ligure, anche i Desert Wizards propongono un sound profondamente radicato negli anni 70, come si evince anche dalla copertina, coloratissima e altamente lisergica.
La musica è un intrigante crocevia tra hard e progressive, in cui episodi sognanti e floydiani si alternano ad altri più rocciosi, dominati da una chitarra aggressiva e da un’organo affilato.
Il lavoro inizia con due piccoli capolavori: “Astral Master” e “Dogstar” battono sentieri vicini a leggende come Quatermass e Atomic Rooster, tra roventi cavalcate chitarristiche e sprazzi acustici. La ruvida e diretta “Born Loser” ci conduce a “Red Sun”, affascinante viaggio spaziale dal clima avvolgente.
Altre suggestioni hard-prog, con qualche spruzzata dark qua e là, ci vengono regalate dalla raffinata “Distant Memories” e da “Snakes”, dall’incedere minaccioso e arcigno, fino alla chiusura di “A Light In The Fog”, che rievoca i Pink Floyd del lato oscuro della luna.
Davvero un ottimo disco questo Beyond The Gates Of The Cosmic Kingdom, se apprezzate il genere difficilmente troverete di meglio.
8/10

LIV KRISTINE Joins MIDNATTSOL! New Album In The Making!
Liv Kristine has joined MIDNATTSOL as their official second singer - right next to her very talented sister Carmen Elise Espenæs. This truly is full sister power!
The band is extremely excited about the news:
“Hey folks,
Like we promised here is the news for you:
LIV KRISTINE IS NOW AN OFFICAL SECOND SINGER IN MIDNATTSOL!! Some time ago we discussed with Liv that she would support us on our upcoming album as a special guest. Working together, we found out that not only the result is awesome - we also have a lot of fun together. The logical consequence was that we pick up Liv as a permanent member of the band. So she is now the official second singer in Midnattsol.
We have already recorded Liv as the second voice on some songs for the next album. Liv will also have her own parts in some songs, so these songs will be more like a duet of the two sisters. We think the results will blow you away.
As Liv is now a permanent band member we plan to play upcoming concerts together with her.
We are very happy and it means a lot to us to have such an amazing singer and fantastic person in our Midnattsol family.”
The band released a first appetizer in form of the track snippet “Purple Sky” HERE!
MIDNATTSOL released their promising debut album “Where Twilight Dwells” back in 2005. The band quickly gained fans around the Gothic, Metal & Rock scene alike and played numerous shows and summer festivals like Summer Breeze, Wave Gotik Treffen, Mera Luna, as well as support of IN EXTREMO. Their highly anticipated second studio album “Nordlys” was released in 2008, followed up by their latest album “The Metamorphosis Melody” in 2011. After that the band decided to take a creative break, but now you can be sure that MIDNATTSOL are fully back and ready more exciting news to come!
