Through the Noise is a five-piece hardcore metal band from Malmö, Sweden. Since forming in 2013, the band have developed a uniquely inviting, raw and aggressive sound featuring majestic, anthem-worthy melodies.

Founded in 2013, Jowl Nyberg (vocals), Victor Adonis (guitar), Markus Skantz (guitar), Martin Lingonblad (bass), and Peter Liwgren (drums), the band quickly began writing original material, and before the year was over, release the demo Adorn the Silence (2013). Not long after, the band saw the release of their debut full-length album Fall of Gaia (2015) which was released independently and very well received by European press. In October of 2015, the band managed to secure a spot on the Polish Zyrock Festival.

One year later, Through the Noise released a single containing the songs The King of Nothing and The Water of Life (2016), and throughout the remainder of the year, the band quickly gained a reputation of delivering fast-paced shows with a lot of energy, whilst playing gigs throughout Sweden and Europe. In 2017, the band released another single for the song In Retrospect and performed as support alongside Chugger. Their set was so impressive, that they were later invited to perform on the Rock Stage at the prestigious Malmö Festival in Malmö, Sweden in August of that year. In the Fall of 2017, they began writing new material and by the end of the year the band were ready to record their next full-length album.

In June of 2018, Through the Noise completed their new full-length album entitled Dualism. They chose to track the drums, and vocals at Wiss Music Productions (Stockholm), and for the guitars they chose Ermin Hamidovic (Periphery, Devin Townsend Project, Naberus, Architects) at Systematic Productions. The album was mixed by Erik Wiss (Eleine, Creye, To Dust), and mastered by Thomas ‘Plec’ Johansson (Soilwork, Watain, Scar Symmetry) at The Panic Room (Skövde, Sweden).

Dualism is a pummeling mix of hardcore and nu-metal, containing nine glorious songs that are guaranteed to please even the ficklest of critics. Highlights off the album include the raucous single ‘Digital Playground’, in which the band denounce the growing trend of online ignorance in the face of “alternative facts”.  The band also steps up their game with the songs ‘Psychomachia’; a plea to relinquish bad habits from a disappointed yet ever faithful and hopeful conscience, and ‘Deceiver’ which addresses the duality of actions and just rewards regarding the present and an afterlife. The album was released worldwide via Eclipse Records on April 12, 2019, receiving critical acclaim from press and radio alike.

In December of 2019, the band followed up with their Dualism (Synthwave Sessions) an experimental EP which consists of 80’s-inspired synthwave versions of songs from their full-length album Dualism. The release was well received by fans, and displayed an interesting diversity not typically seen by metal bands.

During the Covid-19 lockdowns the band were unable to tour, however there was plenty of time to write new material, and they wrote a bunch of new songs. After some careful consideration, they recognized that it would take some time to restart the momentum they had before the lockdowns. Through The Noise decided that it would be best to release an EP before a full-length album, so they tracked three songs which make up the new EP entitled Tragedies.

Tragedies will be released by Eclipse Records on January 21, 2022.

BURY TOMORROW – Cannibal

Mit Breakdowns zum Chartbreaker

Auf ihrem sechsten Album setzen Bury Tomorrow auf ihr bewährtes Erfolgsrezept, das längst zum Markenzeichen geworden ist. Bury Tomorrow klingen auch 2020 genau wie Bury Tomorrow. Gleichzeitig ist Cannibal das technisch versierteste und persönlichste Album. Die fünfköpfige Truppe aus dem englischen Southampton entwickelt sich mit dem neuen Output weiter zur Genrereferenz und erreicht zum Start in Deutschland verdient die Top 3 der Album-Charts.

Lass Dir den Beitrag vorlesen:

/wp-content/TTS/143655.mp3

Bereits mit dem Vorgänger Black Flame zeigten Bury Tomorrow -- das sind Jason Cameron, Daniel Winter-Bates, Kristan Dawson, Davyd Winter-Bates und Adam Jackson -- kein großes Interesse, das stilistische Spektrum des Metalcores zu verlassen. Warum auch, wenn Band und Fans mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden sind. Puristen mögen angesichts der ungewollten Wandlungsfähigkeit erneut die Nase rümpfen und Metalcore weiterhin verschmähen. Und wieder etwas verpassen.

Melodien für den Metalcore

Kaum eine Metalcore-Band vermag derart eingänge Songs zu schreiben wie Bury Tomorrow, die neben der musikalischen Finesse vor allem durch die stimmlichen Eskapaden des Fronter-Duos betören. Die brutalen Screams von Daniel Winter-Bates und der sehnsuchtsvolle Klargesang von Jason Cameron verwandeln erneut nahezu jeden Track in Hymnen.

Los geht es mit dem treibenden, gut gewählten Opener Choke, der neben dem besagten Wechselspiel der Sänger, durch sein charakteristisches Gitarrenspiel besticht. Ein typischer Bury Tomorrow Song zum Mitsingen. Auch die Produktion (Dan Weller, Adam Getgood, Ermin Hamidovic), zugegeben glattpoliert, kann sich hören lassen. Im Vergleich zum Vorgängeralbum wirken die Gesangspartien klarer und nuancierter. Überhaupt der Gesang: Camerons Stimme schallt auf gewohnt tollem Niveau, doch wie auf nahezu jedem neuen Album hat Winter-Bates sein stimmliches Repertoire nochmals ausgebaut und schliddert gefühlt mehrfach an der Schmerzgrenze vorbei. Der tiefste Growl geht noch tiefer, die gellendsten Screams schaffen es noch höher hinaus, dazwischen kurze gesprochene Parts wie im Titeltrack Cannibal. Fett!

Erst mit einem Klick auf das Vorschaubild wird das Video von YouTube eingebunden. Klicke nur, wenn du der Datenschutzerklärung zustimmst.

Camerons Klargesang steht beim vergleichweise ruhigen The Grey (VIXI) im Mittelpunkt, lyrisch macht sich spätestens jetzt bemerkbar, dass Autor Winter-Bates auf Cannibal mehr denn je die eigene psychische Gesundheit in düsteren, mitunter morbiden Texten verarbeitet. „Dieses Album ist für mich genauso wie für die Fans“ sagt der Frontmann und hofft, mit seiner Offenheit anderen Betroffenen zu helfen. Nachhall gewinnt das ironischerweise vor allem beim Circle-Pit-Kandidaten Imposter, in dem Cameron den Refrain alleine trägt.

Erst mit einem Klick auf das Vorschaubild wird das Video von YouTube eingebunden. Klicke nur, wenn du der Datenschutzerklärung zustimmst.

Better Below rückt Groove und Gitarren mit dem ersten Solo in den Mittelpunkt, danach walzt das aggressive The Agonist alles nieder und geht im Ohrwurm auf. Das schüchtern beginnende Quake wandelt sich zum fiesen Bounce-Garanten, in dem Winter-Bates gefühlt aus der Unterwelt keift; dank ruhigem Ausklang der nachdenklichste Song auf Cannibal. Die Kampfansage Gods & Machines knüppelt Erinnerungen an Melodic Death Metal wach und bleibt auch wegen der leichter zugänglichen Lyrics hängen.

Das wütende Voice & Truth danach könnte ein fast zu typisches Stück Metalcore sein, wäre da nicht die proggige Gitarre im Spiel. Ebenso saitenstark macht sich Cold Sleep bemerkbar, das wieder einmal die richtige Balance zwischen Growls und Klargesang findet. Dazu gibt es einen Breakdown, der direkt in den Körper fährt. Zum Abschluss untermauern Bury Tomorrow nach knapp 37 Minuten mit dem Thrasher Dark Infinite nochmals ihren Stand innerhalb des Metalcores und packen so ziemlich alles rein, was geht.

Die gespenstischen Artworks von Künstler Adam Burke geben Cannibal den letzten Schliff. Der abgebildete Schädel weckt Erinnerungen an Bilder von Francis Bacon oder das Antlitz von Christopher Carrion aus Clive Barkers Abarat. Wer Musik noch liebt und kauft, greift zur limitierten Deluxe Edition oder LP.

Keine Überraschungen, aber trotzdem ein Geschenk

Aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie musste Cannibal von April auf Juli geschoben werden. Für Bury Tomorrow sicher ein Ärgernis und für Fans eine Geduldsprobe. Doch das Warten hat sich gelohnt. Cannibal mag der Überhit abgehen und Überraschung sucht man vergebens, doch danach muss bisher niemand suchen. Bury Tomorrow klingen auch 2020 genau wie Bury Tomorrow und das ist dank des hohen Niveaus gut. Cannibal ist ein überzeugendes Gesamtpaket, das mangelnde Innovation mit technischer Evolution kompenisert.

Cannibal ist seit dem 3. Juli 2020 erhältlich.

Tracklist BURY TOMORROW — Black Flame

01. Choke 02. Cannibal 03. The Grey (VIXI) 04. Imposter 05. Better Below 06. The Agonist 07. Quake 08. Gods & Machines 09. Voice & Truth 10. Cold Sleep 11. Dark Infinite

Prospective - All We Have

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Jede neue Veröffentlichung erfordert Hingabe und unzählige Stunden des Schreibens, und das ist es, was Prospective, progressive Metalcore Band aus Bologna (Italien) verkörpert. Das kommende Full-Length-Album “All We Have” (Long Branch Records) der Band ist manisch und emotional hinreißend. Das italienische Quintett – Pietro Serratore[Vocals], Luca Zini[Lead Guitar, Vocals], Davide Ruggeri[Guitar], Stefano Baldanza[Bass] und Flavio Cacciari[Drummer] – greift tief in ihr Persönlichstes, um alle Gefühle zu vermitteln.

Mit einem Schreibprozess am Rande von Chaos und Zufall, mit monatelanger hektischer Arbeit und unzähligen Nächten, in denen sie ihren neuen Sound formten, um die perfekte Kombination von Gitarrensounds zu finden. Die Songs sind geradlinig, hart und ohne Reue, mit rauen Gitarrensounds, heftigen Riffs, knorrigen Breakdowns, eingängigen Chören und unerwarteten Melodien. Alles dies ist möglich geworden, dank der hervorragenden Arbeit von Mixer Buster Odeholm und Mastering Engineer Ermin Hamidovic.

Der Verlust von jemandem, die Wut auf die Menschen um dich herum, das ständige Thema Umweltverschmutzung und Krieg, sind einige der Hauptthemen, denen die Zuhörer beim Hören der Platte begegnen werden. Eine komplizierte Mischung aus Wut und Liebe, mit Texten, die über das Gefühl sprechen, verraten zu werden und den Tod von jemandem, den man liebt. Das anhaltende Thema Krieg, entweder in dir selbst oder auf dem Schlachtfeld, ist etwas, das die Band auf sinnvolle Weise erforscht hat.

Yatin Srivastava Project: Chaos // Despair (2018)

Nos, egy kis csemege azoknak, akik – csakúgy, mint én – szeretnek a zavaros mélyben halászni. Ez az anyag az egyik legváratlanabb helyről, India fővárosából, Újdelhiből érkezett. Bár India a Föld hetedik legnagyobb és második legnépesebb állama, nem arról híres, hogy számolatlanul ontaná magából a kiváló heavy metal lemezeket. Biztos vagyok benne, hogy a műfajnak ott is rengeteg fanatikus rajongója van, és jó képességű zenészekben sem szenvednek hiányt, India mégsem mondható – még a legnagyobb jóindulattal sem – metál nagyhatalomnak. Ezen a képen szeretne egy kicsit árnyalni Yatin Srivastava gitáros, zeneszerző, hangmérnök, producer, aki – ha jól tudom – Nagy-Britanniában fertőződött meg a fémes muzsikák iránti lelkesedéssel, és most otthon, szülővárosában próbálkozik a “metál vírus” járványszerű terjesztésével.

Az alapvetően modern, atmoszferikus progresszív metálban gondolkodó Yatin Srivastava egy rakat, számunka – érthető okokból ismeretlen – honfitársával fogott hozzá álma megvalósításához. Talán megbocsájtja az olvasó, ha nevük fölsorolásával most nem duzzasztom fölöslegesen távirati stílusú recenzióm terjedelmét. Azt viszont érdemes megjegyezni, hogy olyan mifelénk ismertebb muzsikusok is epizódszerepet kaptak az albumon, mint Craig Blundell dobos (Steven Wilson, Frost*, Pendragon, Lonely Robot, Kino) és Bruce Soord énekes (The Pineapple Thief). Ezek a nevek jelzik, hogy Srivastava elsősorban a brit rockzenei progresszió hagyományaihoz, hangzásához, hangulatához kötődik, azon belül is hangsúlyosan a Porcupine Tree-féle örökséghez.

A lemezen összesen hat, túlnyomórészt összetett, hosszabb lélegzetvételű szerzemény kapott helyet. Ahhoz képest, hogy ez Srivastava első teljes értékű próbálkozása és a lemez magánkiadásban jelent meg (digitális és fizikai formátumban), teljesen korrekt a hangzás. Sőt! Az anyagot egyébként Srivastava maga mixelte, a maszeterlést pedig Ermin Hamidovic végezte, aki olyan nagy nevekkel dolgozott már együtt, mint a Periphery, Devin Townsend Project, Architects, SikTh. Aki ebben a májusi záporokkal tarkított fülledt időben egy kis kuriózumra vágyik, hogy a légkondi segítségével kellemesen temperált otthonából elűzze az egykedvűség démonjait, nyugodtan próbálkozzon a Yatin Srivastava Project bemutatkozó albumával!
