Neocracy open the road to the new album with heavy catchy single

I remember the time the first Neocracy album hit my inbox. It was a special album full of sensible and broken feelings beautifully packed in riffing songs. The raw sound made it sure all the feelings came through in a direct way without changes.

The new Neocracy is a bit different from what the band released this far.

The newest single called "Torment" goes a different way. It's sound is still soaked with riffs but the drums are way heavier this time and a word on precise timing. The contrast comes in with the vocals that are fine and full of emotion. It's refrain is a earworm that once it's inside your mind won't leave you again. 

But the track has even more to offer. The last third comes with a surprise showing dark toned vocals that the bassist throws into the sound. It all get's a heavier touch before a extended guitar solo and the female vocals close the single. You can intensively feel the dedication the musicians put into the making of "Torment". It's a well worked out track with fine mixing - you need to listen closely to hear all the details that are inside.

Make sure to follow Neocracy further on Facebook and the popular Instagram network. After this teaser I'm sure many of you out there can't wait to see and hear how the band moves on in the upcoming time.

Have Alia Tempora created a new mainstream?

Besides being blessed with so many metal music coming in it's also a pleasure to go beyond the borders of this music genre. Having started out with Pop music in my childhood days the love for refrains that stick in my mind stayed inside of me when I moved on to Metal music some years later.

Alia Tempora mix different elements into their sound for the open minded music fans.

Alia Tempora made me think back of those Pop music days when the brand new single "Fake It Till You Make It" found it's way into my inbox. The constant pumping beat forces the attention to constantly stay present. In the further duration time more and more synthetic elements are packed into the music. 

One by one they draw you more and more away of the melodic metal basis into a space of danceable music.Sometimes the beat changes into patters not always expected making it a even more exciting time to listen and explore the single release. Pay attention to the vocals - some metal flies in when you least expect it.

Make sure to add this single to your Spotify collection. The full album called "Prismatica" should see the light of day this summer 2023.

Buckler & Fury take us to a Fuck show

This track suprises with it's soft acoustic start. No one would expect something like this with such a song title.

The video of Buckler&Fury is a unexpected surprise to me.

But it all fits so well together. The verses and words start to come and go and so the music slowly crawls into my mind.

It's just a blink of the eye before the crushing heavyness starts to come in and shows it's raw power. It all falls back to the silk state and the game begins again. 

Finally it all comes to it's eruption with the refrain having lots of repeats but this feels not boring but great. Make sure to check the guys out on Facebook. I hope there'll be more of this also. 

I like the way the track builds up. Starting with slight sound it explodes at the proper moments. The refrain sinks in quickly. I was singing along to it. The video is also a bit different in the optics which is great to see. 

New Tenants to crush crossover sytle with more heavyness

Do you remember how the 90s turned out for the Heavy Metal Scene? Crossover was the big sign of time at this period bringing a new look upon our genre with mixing in unusual elements to the sound like Rap and a lot of electronic stuff.

These days things have become a bit silent around the bands of those times like Rage Against The Machine or Limp Bizkit. Nevertheless there is a new band coming up from the underground that I could imagine to take over. They are called New Tenants and are located at Buchloe, Germany (Ostallgäu). The band was founded in 2013 and describes their style as "Rapcore" mixing together elements from old-school-hiphop with the heavyness and explosive elements of Metal.

In contrast to other bands they put in a more explosive element to the sound which gives it more power. It's like when you know something has been set on pressure for a long time in the sound and then finally there's the little spark bringing it all out to to set everything on fire and burst all around. That's what makes this band so enjoyable in my eyes. Plus the vocalist really works the lyrics out in a powerfull way giving it a faithfull note so you know that he knows what's he's talking all about. But best of all check it out as usual for yourselves on the Bandcamp player below.



The album is available for 6,99 Euro on Bandcamp. Also don't miss out to take a look upon their accounts on Facebook, YouTube or Backstage Pro to make sure you won't miss out the band's further activities. For example some live shows are said to be announced soon.
