Dawn Of A Dark Age – ‘La Tavola Osca’ (Antiq)

Dawn Of A Dark Age – ‘La Tavola Osca’ (Antiq)

Posted by | Jul 16, 2020 | ,

Now, Jonny B has seen some pretty unusual musical combinations in his time but he’s finding that the more time he spends delving into the depths of the ÜR album review submissions, the more strange combinations he seems to find! Maybe it’s because he spends half of his time scanning through to pick out those things that stand out as being outside the norm so that he doesn’t get caught in a rut of listening to the same things all the time? Regardless, this album definitely falls into this category as we have the not-so-classic combination of black metal and… wait for it… the clarinet.

Imperial Triumphant officially began back in 2012 with their first full length release ‘Abominamentvm’, but the band’s roots actually go back to 2005. Formed by Zachary Ilya Ezrin in New York City, the band back then were regarded as a neoclassical black metal band and had released two EPs before their first, full length official release with ‘Summons To War’ in 2008 and ‘Obeisance’ in 2010.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – DANGEROUS HIPPIES

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – DANGEROUS HIPPIES

Posted by | Jul 12, 2020 | , ,

Despite the ongoing lockdown in many parts of the Überverse, we are still receiving a healthy bundle of submissions for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title. Many of them are produced against the background of continuing quarantine conditions in some countries, while others reflect artists being able to return and flex their creative muscles once again. Our award this week goes to a band whom it could be argued summarize a marriage of styles as well as the old wedding adage about the bride wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed…” although, in this case there is definitely nothing blue (apart from some of the fluorescent lighting used) about the debut single from alt-pop duo Dangerous Hippies.

Posted by | Jul 12, 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 – a massive 17 tracks in total for your aural and visual delectation, whittled down from the 250+ submissions which came 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 subgenres of the glorious artform we like to refer to as rock ‘n’f’n’ roll…

Static-X – ‘Project Regeneration Vol. 1’ (Otsego Entertainment Group)

Static-X – ‘Project Regeneration Vol. 1’ (Otsego Entertainment Group)

Posted by | Jul 10, 2020 | ,

The question of whether their reformation is a heartfelt tribute to their fallen leader or a shameless cash grab has hovered around Static-X ever since they got back together. The impression at Über Rock towers has always been that Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda and Ken Jay were being very sincere and that was only reinforced when we attended their highly successful ÜK tour. Having a mysterious, Edsel Dope-shaped enigma dressed up as their deceased frontman was a little creepy yes, but the love seemed genuine enough. ‘Project Regeneration Volume.1’ is their first recorded material to emerge since Wayne Static’s passing…
