Mount Atlas – ‘Mistress’ EP (H42 Records/Ripple Music)

Posted by | May 8, 2019 | ,

One song introduced with a swelling organ – of the Hammond variety, you dirty-minded lot – and another with a cowbell… German doomsters Mount Atlas obviously have been reading Monk’s reviews and know how to wind their way straight into his darkened rock ‘n’ roll soul, as they stick two of my favourite instruments up front and centre and attract his attention right from the off. Fuck the rest of what is going on: he’s hooked right away…

1979 was, of course, a great year for music and there weren’t many better albums released that year than the self-titled debut album from Derry’s The Undertones. It was, and remains, a classic of the punk era. This tour sees the band commemorate the 40th anniversary of that album and kicks off with this date at Camden’s Electric Ballroom almost 40 years to the day since the album’s release.

Coming from the metal scene, Heart Of A Coward are soon to their fourth album. For fans of Architects, Invisions and Erra. Formed in Milton Keynes in 2009, HOAC are known for producing gut wrenching riffs, and fierce vocals. ‘The Disconnect’ is no exception to this. Not too long ago, frontman Jamie Graham announced his departure, leaving the band’s future unknown. The new arrival of Kaan Tasan, formerly of No Consequence, has not been taken so well by some fans. Taking the place of Jamie was always going to be difficult. It is not to say that Tasan has ‘replaced’ Jamie, but rather he has guided HOAC’s music into a new direction – a positive one. This is not the end to Heart Of A Coward. This is HOAC reborn; welcome to hell.
