FINAL CRISIS - Final Issue (Discography)
Back in October of last year when I posted about this band's previous release, I knew absolutely nothing about this band, other than that they were from Atlanta, GA. Well, they have just release what they are calling a Discography CD, and I still know nothing about them. But oh well, you should still grab this because this is/was a great Hardcore / Punk / Crust / D-Beat band. And they put Darkseid on the cover, so there's that.

2018 has marked an increase in my consumption of Death Metal. Of Feather and Bone along with Tomb Mold seem to be two of the more talked about active bands right now in the genre.

R.I.P. @ SAINT VITUS BAR
It was a night of sweaty rock n roll, fuzz, traditional metal and street doom (whatever that means exactly...). Rattlesnake and Mick's Jaguar brought all of the rock n roll swagger and boogie you could hope for. Mick's Jaguar just released their new LP on Riding Easy Records (label home of R.I.P. as well); if their show is any indicator of how the album is it will be a really great listen for fans of Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, and plain fun party rock, plus they have a triple guitar attack. R.I.P. was beyond awesome. They began the evening by announcing themselves as the first true metal show anyone in attendance had ever seen. Whether or not that is true they left everyone at Saint Vitus satisfied customers! Try and see them if you can, who doesn't love a front man with a scythe as his custom mic stand?
SKINNERS- "SKINNERS II" LP
Country: UK
Label: Self Released
Genre: Punk, Tank Punk, Hardcore, PowerViolence
Release Date: February 24, 2017
Today I present to you the noisy, unhinged and full of anti-fascist venom " SKINNERS II" LP! Hailing from Bath, U.K and formed some time in the year 2014, this self described "Punk Commie Propaganda Mouth Piece" brings an LP that comes out swinging right from the gate... dirty sounding bass guitar sets the tone behind guitar swells, improvs and squeals. This is not your usual PowerViolence or EmoViolence band.
The music leans into you and hits hard. The dual guitars & dirty bass keep you checked in with well written riffs and a healthy dose of experimentation that is hard to find in this particular area of underground music. Never too melodic, but still catchy and especially sick soloing and Pedalboard play. Sometimes they are bringing me back to 2006-2010 era Magrudergrind, which is fucking awesome.
The drumming is notable as well, as this album was undoubtedly tracked live, and the drummer is steering this ship of perfectly pissed off and composed commie punk with amazing composure. If you need blast beats , rest assured there are plenty to be had, although my most notable remarks would be: The composition of the percussion makes these songs exactly what you would want without being predictable. Which another area where this band excels in a sub-genre that does not necessarily have these qualities as the focal point.
I can't leave out the passionate vocal performance. I couldn't imagine anyone else over what I have just described than their current vocalist. The lyrics are witty and sharp and delivered excellently. The vocals have just enough hardcore and screamo styling mixed in to give the entire album a very frustrated kind of vibe. If the musicians were painting composure while experimenting, the vocalist is the perfect contrast to that.
An onion in the whiskey.
In closing, SKINNERS hit sweet spots of organic experimentation while never losing their hard right cross of dual guitars, bass, well delivered drumming and frantic vocalizing. No bullshit or filler is to be found here Comrades!

夢遊病者 Sleepwalker-For This Time Only, Never Again EP (2018)
Genre: Black Metal, Experimental
Label: Sentient Ruin Laboratories
Tracks: 6
Length: 22.30'
一期一会 (Ichi-go ichi-e): "for this time only, never again". This japanese idiom is the central theme of the new, second, unbelievable album of the same name by the elusive psychedelic/avantgarde black metal enigma 夢遊病者 (Sleepwalker). Once again fusing drone, raw black metal, kraut/psychedelic rock, free-jazz, noise rock, and tribal ritualism to absolutely mind-melting effect, Sleepwalker's idea behind this new record was to take central superstitions that rule the rhetoric of eastern lore and funnel them through the prism of the modern world. The final result: the band's staple psychedelic black metal mind-fuck ritual gloriously preserved and burning brighter and more insanely than ever. Suspended between the visionary opposites of bands like Voivod, Zeni Geva, Oxbow, King Crimson, Ornassi Pazuzu, Lurker of Chalice, and Xasthur, with "一期一会" Sleepwalker have once again proven to be one of the most mind-expanding and visionary experimental black metal acts of our times.
(Press Note)
*Damn, This is some really awesome psychedelic raw black metal. I'm at a loss of words as far as explaining how good this is and what to compare Sleepwalker too. Highly recommended! Enjoy! For This Time Only, Never Again was released via Sentient Ruin Laboratories on May 25th, 2018.
