June 16, 2023

Pittsburgh hardcore band Ironside is here to make a statement in their single “State of Control” The song starts out fierce out the gate with thrashing guitar work and strong vocals. It keeps the intensity up until the end and will have metalheads pumping their fist and headbanging with wild abandon. The video shows scenes of the band performing the song, sometimes on stage and also shows them walking around different locations around the Pittburgh...

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...

M.U.S.E.Find Your MUSE: Uzkost – For Property and Profit

April 21, 2023

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...

**TW: Addiction – Take care while reading** Catharsis hit me like a ton of bricks. Since my first listen I have grooved along, written down great lines to remember, thought a lot, and cried a little. Before I get into the album though, I’d like to start with how I got here. Curtis, from Brave New World, hit me up to talk about his band and their upcoming release.

M.U.S.E.Find Your Muse: The Parishables – Droid

January 20, 2023

I love music that likes to be fun, and the latest single from The Parishables called “Droid” is exactly that. It really put a smile on my face. This rocker gets started from the moment it gets started with amazing guitar work. The lyric delivery is pretty good as well as the single tells of a dystopian future where machine has dominion over man. It also could be social commentary how everyone is just mindless...
