PORN – ‘No Monsters In God’s Eyes – Act III’ (Echozone/Les Disques Rubincon)

FREE PORN! OK, it’s an old trick but we thought that would get your attention. Unfortunately, however, we are not talking about the soft stuff produced by the likes of Messrs Hefner and Raymond but the real hardcore stuff… the hard, grinding, industrial-grade plutonium produced by four gothic punks with one thing on their mind – and that is to unleash upon this unsuspecting Überverse an album which could well serve as the soundtrack for the impending apocalypse which the mass media would have you believe we currently find ourselves faced.

Flying Circus – ‘1968’ (Fastball Music)

Flying Circus – ‘1968’ (Fastball Music)

Posted by | Mar 24, 2020 | ,

German quintet Flying Circus unashamedly seek to evoke the spirit of the year which gives this, their latest album, it’s title, both musically and thematically. While not a concept album in the purest form of the word, each of the nine (and a bit) songs is linked by an event which happened in 1968, hence titles such as ‘New York’ and ‘Memphis’, both of which address the assassination of Martin Luther King, ‘Derry’ (the birth of the Northern Ireland civil rights movement and the subsequent four-decade long ‘Troubles’) and ‘Mỹ Lai’ (the infamous massacre of South Vietnamese civilians by US troops which heavily fuelled calls for America to withdraw from the conflict on the archipelago).

He probably says this all the time – in fact, there’s no probably about it at all – but Jonny B has a real soft spot for power metal. Now he knows this is one of those genres that seems to be pretty polarising: some people think it’s too cheesy whereas others adore it for that very same reason. It’s a fine line to walk, with people’s tastes on the matter varying wildly from person to person, making power metal a difficult game to be in. You can stay distinctly middle-of-the-road to try and please as many people as possible, but often the act of doing so makes it difficult to stand out… what a dilemma!

Beneath My Sins – ‘I Decide’ (Pride & Joy Music)

Symphonic metal is one of those genres that John B thinks either takes your breath away with every track or it kinda fades into the background. JB thinks it is a very hard genre to make it in because of how demanding it can be. We have all become accustomed to bands like Nightwish where every track is an epic journey both in the lyrics but also in the music ever-changing within each track and powerful operatic vocals. There are many bands that get there but also many that do not. So how does Beneath My Sins stack up?

Talk Show – ‘These People’ EP (Council Records)

Posted by | Mar 23, 2020 | ,

A debut EP from upcoming Londoners Talk Show is a good reason to be talking music here, as the Peckham act are taking on from other upcoming acts such as Fontaines DC in their downbeat yet up-tempo approach to song writing, adopting the dark sound of new wave and post-punk luminaries such as Gang of Four, The Cure and The Cult and adding a bit more of their own verve into the tracks to create a rather interesting sound.
