The Italian extreme metal band Cadaveria was formed in April 2001, forged by the erstwhile Opera IX personnel Cadaveria and Flegias, (a.k.a. Marçelo Santos), the latter reverting back to his real name. The band signed to Scarlet Records for the opening 2002 album The Shadows' Madame. Cadaveria and bassist Killer Bob would also be operational as singer for Industrialists DyNAbyte.
Cadaveria's second album, Far Away from Conformity released in early 2004, was recorded and mixed at Capitan Woofer Studios. In early 2007 the band joined Season of Mist and released In Your Blood in May 2007.
The fourth album Horror Metal was released in January 2012 and it's from that album we find todays tune. The band has elements of thrash, death, black, gothic and symphonic metal.

Todays tune might hurt as we have some first class in your face death metal, uncompromising and brutal like a karate chop. Luckily we are talking music and not physical violence. But pure and severe energetic music. We are talking The Resistance. The Swedish Extreme Metal band The Resistance's debut album was released May 10th, 2013. A first tour in selected major markets coincides with the date of release for "Scars", presenting the band to fans and media with full force.
The 12-track album is a pure reminiscence to the good old days of Swedish death metal back in the 80s/90s when berserk bands like Entombed, Grave or Dismember proved how insanely brutal and relentless, yet immensely captivating and technically adept extreme music can be. Well, apparently some established Swedish musicians did miss them, so they put things right: They brought back the old Swedish Death Metal.
"If you listen to Entombed's "Left Hand Path" today, it still blows everything away. And it's over 20 years old," says Jesper Strömblad, main musical force behind Stockholm/Gothenburg based squad The Resistance, about an album classic that still gives him the shivers after all those years. Hang on a second: Jesper Strömblad? Rings a bell, doesn't it? Indeed, it's the former In Flames guitar player and founding member who quit the band in 2010 after 17 long and exhausting years.
But it is not all about Jesper in The Resistance. The band members' "CV" is as heavy as the sound of their new musical adventure. The four Swedish musicians carry a great legacy in the long Scandinavian extreme metal tradition. Jesper Strömblad, of course, is one of the "columns" of the huge Resistance sound. Together with Jesper, we find another ex member of In Flames - Glenn Ljungström, vocalist Marco Aro (ex-The Haunted, Facedown) and drummer Chris Barkensjö (ex-Kaamos, ex-Grave).
The Resistance will definitely be one of the extreme metal bands in 2013. A first insight into the band's sound was already serviced a few weeks ago when the critically acclaimed teaser- EP "Rise From Treason" was heralding the extreme metal year and blew away fans and media just alike.
The raw energy and brutal sound of "Scars" will be released on CD (as an elaborated digi-pack), on classic vinyl as well as a download. "Scars" is featuring brand new, never before released songs only.
The Resistance is:
Marco Aro - vocals
Jesper Strömblad - guitar
Glenn Ljungström - guitar
Chris Barkensjö - drums
Claudio Oyarzo - bass
Todays tune "Clearing The Slate" is the first official music video by The Resistance, taken from the new album "Scars".
Bombus from Göteborg, Sweden, they have a new release, a two-track single named "Apparatus" (it’s available on iTunes, among other places).
Creature astray - paving its Way Walking the earth turning skin into clay Hordes of flies - devouering the bowels Of headless beasts giving calls to the sky - the sky - giving calls to the sky Preacher of insanity Teacher of profanity Searching-Searching-certainty Breaching all humanity Concrete and veins - in this world it remains Tumescent hand reaching out of its brains Staggering legs - ripped skin into shreds Surrounded by bodies of stone without heads - without heads - of stone without heads Preacher of insanity Teacher of profanity Searching-Searching-certainty Breaching all humanity Apparatus
Buy the new Bombus 7inch single "Apparatus" which will be out on May 2nd - strictly limited to 500 copies.
Todays tune "Apparatus" is a hard-rocking, sweet-riffing, fist-pumping piece of heavy metal (with a bit of stoner-doom wafting around it).

This weeks Record Of The Week "Sempiternal" is the fourth studio album by British metalcore band Bring Me the Horizon. It was released on 1 April 2013. It is the first album to feature keyboardist Jordan Fish and was believed to be the last album to feature guitarist Jona Weinhofen. However, Weinhofen's role within the album's development has been faced with controversy.
Written and recorded throughout 2012, Sempiternal showed the band pool diverse influences from electronic music, ambient music and pop. "Sempiternal" is an archaic English word denoting the concept of "everlasting time" that can never actually come to pass. It stems from the Latin word "sempiternus" (a concatenation of root "semper" and suffix "aeternum"). The album's cover art is a depiction of the Flower of Life.
The album has thus far spawned two singles ("Shadow Moses" and "Sleepwalking"). Sempiternal is a very powerful album and well energized. It's very noticeable electronic presence. In short, "Sempiternal" is an excellent album that really shows what Bring Me the Horizon can do and that they can innovate without losing something along the way.
Todays tune "Sleepwalking" is the 2:nd single taken from "Sempiternal", the video is directed by Aniceideaeveryday
Sunday, time for a classic. This time fits the Roky Erickson perfectly, Roky who yesterday paid a visit to the town for a gig at Debaser Medis.
This time I had a bit odd role in my work, but I had fun anyway.

Roky Erickson (born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, harmonica player and guitarist from Texas. He was a founding member of the 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre.
Like Syd Barrett, a common point of reference, Roky Erickson rose to cult-hero status as much for his music as for his tragic personal life; in light of his legendary bouts with madness and mythic drug abuse, the influence exerted by his garage-bred psychedelia was often lost in the shuffle.
Roky began playing the piano at age five; by age 12, he had also taken up the guitar. The child of an architect and would-be opera singer, Erickson dropped out of high school to become a professional musician. In 1965, he penned his most famous composition, "You're Gonna Miss Me," which he first recorded with a group called the Spades. The song and his high, swooping tenor brought him to the attention of another area band, the psychedelia-influenced 13th Floor Elevators, whose lyricist and jug player Tommy Hall invited Erickson to join; the Elevators soon cut their own version of "You're Gonna Miss Me," and took the single to number 56 on the pop charts in 1966.
The record's success earned the 13th Floor Elevators a deal with International Artists, but as their fame grew, so did their notoriety with local law enforcement officials, who took exception to the group's heavy experimentation with (and public support of) marijuana and LSD. the Elevators became the subject of considerable police harassment, and after Erickson was arrested for the possession of one lone joint in 1969, he pleaded insanity to avoid a prison term.
A three-and-a-half year stint in the state's Hospital for the Criminally Insane followed; Erickson was diagnosed as a schizophrenic, and subjected to extensive electroshock therapy, Thorazine, and other psychoactive treatments.
Though released from the hospital in 1973, Erickson was never the same person; he returned to performing with a new band, the Aliens, but his songs -- a series of horror film-influenced records including "Red Temple Prayer (Two-Headed Dog)," "Don't Shake Me Lucifer," and "I Walked with a Zombie" -- found little success. He did retain a devoted cult following, however, but his popularity was fully exploited by managers who took advantage of his instability to draw the singer into a series of unfair publishing contracts that resulted in a steady stream of unauthorized releases from which Erickson earned not a cent. In 1982, he signed a legal affidavit declaring that a Martian had taken residence in his body, and gradually disappeared from music as the decade wore on.
By the '90s, Erickson was struggling to survive on a $200 monthly Social Security stipend; after an arrest on mail theft charges (later dropped), he was re-institutionalized. In 1990, however, artists like R.E.M., ZZ Top, John Wesley Harding, and the Jesus and Mary Chain recorded his songs for the album Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, which brought his work to a wider audience than ever before. In 1993, Erickson performed publicly for the first time in many years at the Austin Music Awards; a few months later, he returned to the studio with guitarists Charlie Sexton and the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary to record a number of new songs. In 1995, Leary's bandmate King Coffey released Erickson's All That May Do My Rhyme on his Trance Syndicate label; four years later, Trance issued Never Say Goodbye, a collection of rare, private recordings or unreleased Erickson compositions. (Coffey claims Erickson told him he was the first person to ever give him a royalty check for his music.)
In 2001, Sumner Erickson, Roky's brother and a successful classical musician, obtained custody of Roky, who had fallen into poor health. Under Sumner's watch, Roky began receiving proper medical and dental care for the first time in years, as well as more effective treatment for his psychological problems. Sumner also set up a charitable trust to help finance his brother's care, and with the help of sympathetic lawyers, attempted to sort out the legal red tape that prevented Roky from being paid for his music. A fit and relatively lucid Roky Erickson began making occasional public appearances in Austin, TX, and in March 2005, Roky spoke as part of a panel discussion on the 13th Floor Elevators at the South by Southwest Music Conference.
Roky also made a brief musical appearance with a reunited lineup of the Explosives, and a documentary on Erickson, You're Gonna Miss Me, premiered at the affiliated South by Southwest Film Festival.
The Will Sheff-produced True Love Cast Out All Evil, Erickson’s first new studio album in some 14 years, appeared from Anti in 2010.

...Like Clockwork is the forthcoming sixth studio album by American rock band Queens of the Stone Age, due for release on June 3, 2013 on Matador Records. Self-produced by the band, it is the first Queens of the Stone Age album to feature full contributions from bassist Michael Shuman and keyboardist and guitarist Dean Fertita, who both joined the band in 2007 to tour in support of its fifth studio album, Era Vulgaris (2007), and recorded its bonus tracks.
The band began recording ...Like Clockwork in November 2011, initially hoping that collaborator Trent Reznor would produce the album. Following a tumultuous recording period, which included the departure of long-time drummer Joey Castillo, founding member Josh Homme described the album as "documenting the journey of moving forward, you know. It was a tough time and I thought, 'I can run away from this, or I can run into it.
In March 2013, the band announced that the new album, titled ...Like Clockwork, would be released in June 2013 on Matador Records. On March 22, 2013, the band teased the album artwork for ...Like Clockwork on Facebook by an artist known as Boneface. They premiered a new song titled "My God is the Sun" at Lollapalooza Brazil on March 30, 2013. The performance saw Jon Theodore make his live debut with the band. The studio version of "My God is the Sun" premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show on April 8, 2013. It was then confirmed by the band's official Facebook page that the song would be released on iTunes on April 8. On May 6 half of the song "I Appear Missing" was launched from the website. One week later, on May 14, part of the track "Kalopsia" appeared on the same site. (Kalopsia /Kal‧ăpz‧ia/ 9. a condition wherein things appear more beautiful than they are).
Todays tune "I Appear Missing" is taken from the upcoming new album "...Like Clockwork".

Today is Norway's national day, a day usually celebrated properly if you compare it against the Swedish National Day is celebrated. We salute our neighbours by playing a Norwegian song.
TNT is a Norwegian hard rock/glam metal band from Trondheim, formed in 1982. The band has released twelve studio albums, three EPs and two live albums while going through numerous line-up changes since its formation. Guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø is the only consistent member of TNT.
Todays tune "10,000 Lovers (In One)" is a single taken from their 1987 album Tell No Tales.
The song was written about a girl who TNT's vocalist at that time, Tony Harnell, knew. It reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America, and earned the band a Norwegian Grammy.
In 2006 TNT recorded a new version of the song together with the Norwegian rapper Vinni from the band Paperboys. This version included newly written and controversial rap lyrics, which fueled Harnell to make a statement.
Vinni joined TNT for a couple of performances of the new version in concerts and on national TV shows. It was scheduled to be included on a compilation of Norwegian hits, but it was cancelled due to unknown problems.
The Besnard Lakes are from Montreal and basically consists of the pair of Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas. Along with the more or less permanent band members and in cooperation with well-known people from the Canadian indie scene has during the years released a bunch of EPs and four albums. Two of them have been nominated for the Polaris Music Prize. Jace Lasek is himself a producer and has in Break Glass Studio produced small feats for a bunch of Canadian greats such as Wolf Parade, The Dears and Stars. Along with the release of Until the Excess, Imperceptible UFO are they out touring and doing three shows on Swedish soil.
In 10 years, The Besnard Lakes run with rakes in their hands through rock history, through the 60's sunniest surfpop choirs through the 90s dull grunge rumble to today's most fervent dream pop. The catch is, they have repeatedly tipped the holders and then sew quite large and psychedelic indie-quilts of. Over time, The Besnard Lakes simply become specialists in creating surf rock nightly tsunamis. Beach Boys, Veruca Salt, Fleetwood Mac, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd and ELO are just some of the bands the reviewer has found that The Besnard Lakes might remind me of. Just recently dropped the band's new single, "People of the sticks" into our heads. The single is the first taste of The Besnard Lakes new album Until the Excess, Imperceptible UFO (released April 2).
Support for the last night show was three friends from Gothenburg, named "Milano Sun" that composing a soundtrack to the moment during an inter-railing in Europe for a few summers ago. Previously, the singles 'Already Gone', 'Vertigo' and 'If You Go Home Alone' released all of which have been well received around the world and the music is described as dreamy pop filled with melancholy and longing. EP "Scandinavia" Released May 4
The gig was really good, too bad theattendancewas so poor,some 100paying guestsonly, strangethat this bandhas not hityet,but it will certainlyhit in the near future for they were reallyawesome live,the guitar dist and the dreamy vocals had to work hard, evensmokemachinewerein full swing.
Even the support act did a good performance and can be something we will hear more in the future.
