The Über Rock Singles Club – Autumn Awesomeness (Part One)

The Über Rock Singles Club – Autumn Awesomeness (Part One)

Posted by | Oct 4, 2020 | , ,

It’s hard to believe it’s been a fortnight since the Singles Club opened its virtual doors and we fired up the death decks with a selection of the finest single-track releases to have come our way in recent weeks. Yet, here we are again with another bumper pick of the crop – actually, for the second successive iteration it’s one of our biggest clubs in a long time, with just shy of two dozen tracks for your aural and visual delectation, whittled down from the almost 450 submissions which have come our way over the past 14 days or so, and once again hopefully containing something to tickle almost everyone’s musical taste buds as we traverse multiple sub genres of the glorious art form we like to refer to as rock ‘n’f’n’ roll…

Anaal Nathrakh – ‘Endarkenment’ (Metal Blade Records)

Posted by | Sep 30, 2020 | ,

Things are pretty bleak at the moment. Everyday brings a new selection of dreary news either direct from the media or through the social platforms where comment sections are rife with ignorance, intolerance and tin foiled hat finger pointing. Music is an escape, a safe retreat in which the listener can unplug and unwind. This is known. ‘Endarkenment’ is not an escape.

The way it does this though is musically brilliant.
