There is magic within the music of Hemlock for Socrates, and just to show what that means, they released a video for their new single “Around in Circles” The style of the music here is very swirly and magical in nature, and it has a gentle pristine touch to it. The vocals compliment the song very well with the addition of chimes in the mix. The video itself is pure white with crystals, views of...
Ritual of Ether is back with his latest banger known as “Dark Forces” The beats that accompany this are hard as heck, making you want to move your head to the thump of the bass. I did appreciate the opening which was very grindhouse as well as the Ghostface mask that he wore for the most of the video as he performs the song. I really enjoyed this one, it is pretty dope, had a...
Cultus Black who just concluded their run on the Static-X Rise of the Machines tour recently released a new music video for their single “Lorelei”. This serves as an introduction to this enigmatic band and what their style is about. Drums kick in as the song begins, quickly joined by intense guitars and melodies.

Pittsburgh blackened and doomed death metal band Uzkost recently came out with a music video for their single “For Property and Profit”. For them, this was more of a personal affair, and it makes this song more different than anything they released so far. The song is heavy as heck and does not hesitate in being as brutal as possible. Full of blast beats, growls, and pummeling drums, this will kick your butt and then...
With a new single from their latest album, Ludovico Technique delivers once again with “Live as Myself” The song starts with a beautiful piano piece before the guitar, hard synths, and drums kick in. There is a haunting choir that accompanies the chorus and the lead front man is as emotive and imposing that would expect him to be. He just has that air about him that commands the attention of the viewer, almost like...

Alternative folk cabaret Frenchy and the Punk recently debuted a video for the single “Church of Sound”. What we have here is a song full of gentle acoustical guitars matched by the powerful and haunting vocals of the songstress of the group.

The other day I get a message in my inbox to check out this artist named Ren and pointed me to listen to his latest single “Hi Ren”. The words used to describe was how mind blowing it was and it is beyond anything done before. With words like that, I knew it was worth checking into. And yeah, mind blowing does not even begin to describe it. The song is an over 9 minute...
Today we have Awake At Last with their single “The Other Side”. The song starts by bathing you electronica bliss, going nice, gentle, almost serene in a way. Then the guitars explode in the chorus. The vocal range is really good in this one transitioning from quiet to energetic shouting. The lyrics of the song get deep and delves into the subject matter of losing someone and wondering if you will see them again. Whether...
Dark electronic band Inva//id from Los Angeles recently debuted a music video for their track “Snow”. Let’s take a look-see at what they have to offer. The song starts with guitars, and just gets more intense from there with its dark beats and vocals that are both shouty yet quiet at times. This is the kind of song that makes you want to bring out the stomping boot as you march to the beat. As...
