Jupiter Hollow – ‘Bereavement’ (Self-Released)

Jupiter Hollow – ‘Bereavement’ (Self-Released)

Posted by | Jun 15, 2020 | ,

Jonny B spent a bit of time in Toronto last year and happened to be there just before the annual Canadian Music Week, which ended up with some chance meetings with a wide variety of musicians. What this really highlighted is that Toronto is a real focal point for music in Canada, so it comes as little surprise that there is a wealth of artists who hail from what could be called Canada’s equivalent of “music city”. Clearly this was a neat little segue into the subject of this review, the prog rock/metal duo Jupiter Hollow who hail from, you guessed it, Toronto!

Chasing Ghosts – ‘Bring Me Suffering’ EP (Self-Released)

Sometimes a really sombre musical style just really hits home. There is so much emotion that can be wrapped up in music. That is what makes music so special. No one has ever had a favorite track that did not have some kind of emotional meaning to it. Sometimes it is just a good feeling like we get in a lot of dance and pop music these days. Sure, it is fun, but people move on to something new rather quickly. However, when you dig deep and pull out those darker, more sombre emotions, and sadder emotions, this is how you make music that really resonates with people. This is how you make something that people will remember forever. John B reckons that ‘Bring Me Suffering’ captures this emotional depth wonderfully.

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. While some artists have been finding new ways of visually interpreting their songs, others obviously had done a lot of forward planning and had the guts of their filming completed in advance of the global quarantine, with the finishing touches being added in isolated post-production, while others are becoming able to capitalize on lockdown’s being eased in some parts of the Überverse to bring us fresh new visual offerings.

The Über Rock Singles Club – Joyous June (Part One)

Posted by | Jun 14, 2020 | , ,

It’s hard to believe it’s been a fortnight since the Singles Club last 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 19 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…

Lamb Of God – ‘Lamb Of God’ (Nuclear Blast)

Lamb Of God – ‘Lamb Of God’ (Nuclear Blast)

Posted by | Jun 11, 2020 | ,

Lesley Mac reckons that it’s the perfect time for US heavy metal masters Lamb Of God to emerge from the ether. After a five-year album hiatus, they return in the midst of worldwide political unrest, dissent and controversy to reinstate their dominance. With seven albums to their name already, the fact that the new release is self-titled is indicative of a self-assured identity. Yes, they may have toured with word renowned bands like Metallica and Slayer but they were co-headliners with Megadeth this year, are also Grammy Award winners and so the five-piece of Blythe (vocals), Morton (guitar),  Willie Adler (guitar), Campbell (bass) and Art Cruz on drums (replacing  founding member Chris Adler who left citing creative differences) are themselves a phenomenon not to be ignored.
