EventsRodrigo y Gabriela
This post is somewhat of a departure from most of our other reviews on this site. Pretty much all of the others are for a rock/metal band or hip hop act. Rodrigo y Gabriela are a Mexican acoustic guitar duo with a background in metal.
Idmen | Indukti
Indukti wastes no time grabbing the listener’s full attention in this album, and they continue to develop their dark, haunting sound and wide range of influences from around the globe.
Indukti
One of my favorite discoveries of the past year was definitely Indukti. Read ahead to learn about their upcoming album and the band in general.
Violin and MF Doom?
The new MF Doom track has him spitting conscious lyrics over a violin.
Beethoven
What? Did he say Beethoven? …is he serious? Yes; yes I did, and yes I am. There’s a reason why we’ve all heard his name and excerpts of his work – it’s because he freakin’ rocks. But I bet most of the people reading this have never actually listened to one of his symphonies from start to end. In fairness, neither had I until this past summer.
S.U.S.A.R. | Indukti
S.U.S.A.R. - Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction - at first it just sounds like a nonsensical and possibly contradictory phrase, but it’s actually a real medical term. It’s also an album by the Polish prog rock band Indukti; an album I thought was good after the first listen, but after the subsequent few listens it just seemed to get better, and better, and better.
Worlds Collide | Apocalyptica
Most people have listened to music containing classical string instruments, whether it was as a complement to a rock/metal band or as an added effect used by groups in various progressive genres, or simply in the form of classical music. But have you ever encountered a group in which the strings are the band, and they play some damn good metal? Well I had not… then I heard Apocalyptica.
