Pallbearer - Run Like Hell

Thursday, time for a cover.

After nearly 18 months in the works, Magnetic Eye’s massive dual-release homage to PINK FLOYD, The Wall (Redux) and the Best of PINK FLOYD, is nearly here, set to be released in the end of November.

From the album "The Wall (Redux)" have the Arkansas doom metal band PALLBEARER put thier teets in the iconic Floyd classic, "Run Like Hell", here did they got the chance to really think outside the box and make thier own version with galloping, up-tempo, early-Maiden-esque classic-rock hard rock, sounds splendid. Instead of David Gilmour's simple reverb-heavy guitar lick, the melodic-doom quartet opts for a chugging, churning approach, leaning heavily on the gallop that exists in the original and bringing it to the forefront.

"Run Like Hell" is a song by the English progressive rock band PINK FLOYD, written by David Gilmour and Roger Waters. It appears on the album "The Wall", 1979. It was released as a single in 1980.

The record company Magnetic Eye Records is behind the re-envision PINK FLOYDs concept masterpiece "The Wall" in its entirety from end to end in sequence, featuring some of the most iconic artists in heavy music today alongside some of the most exciting newcomers. Joining PALLBEARER are names that range from the MELVINS to Mark Lanegan to RUBY THE HATCHET, each taking one of the album's classic cuts. Check out the full track listing below.

A good rule of thumb for covers is don't do them — unless you are either 1) completely revamping the song and giving it a different feel and sound, or 2) improving on the original. PALLBEARER has definitely achieved No. 1, and only time will tell if PALLBEARER have done No. 2, but we'll be damned if they aren't pretty close.

Enjoy today's cover.

Les Discrets - Virée Nocturne

Let's continue in the same steps as the "Record Of The Week", LES DISCRETS is a French shoegaze/post-rock project created and led by Fursy Teyssier as a "platform gathering music and art". Teyssier was the sole member of the band until 2009. Since then they have released two albums, in 2010 and 2012, respectively and the third is in the pipeline.

Fursy Teyssier's art is amazing, he have created album covers for ALCEST, MORBID ANGEL, EMPYRIUM, AGALLOCH, THE OATH, WOODS OF YPRES among others, check it out here!

The 4-track EP "Virée Nocturne" heralds LES DISCRETS third album "Prédateurs" (due out in early 2017). Four years after the last studio effort, "Ariettes Oubliées", Fursy Teyssier departs from his blend of atmospheric metal and post rock, influenced by such artists as AGALLOCH, ANATHEMA or early ULVER and returns with a reinvention of LES DISCRETS. Drawing inspiration from acts like PORTISHEAD, MASSIVE ATTACK, LANA DEL REY, PINK FLOYD or BLONDE REDHEAD, he keeps his musical core with a calmer version of LES DISCRETS, maintaining the inherent the melancholy and melodics.

"Virée Nocturne" is not only a new start in terms of music, but also on the visual level. For the first time, Teyssier collaborates with another graphic designer on the visual appearance of a LES DISCRETS release. The British artist Chris Friel combines painting with photography in a unique way, a huge inspiration for Teyssier and even the guideline for the music.

Besides the title track that will also be featured on "Prédateurs", the EP features the exclusive song "Capricorni. Virginis. Corvi", a demo version of another new song ("Le Reproche") and a remix of "Virée Noturne" by progressive hip hop artist Dälek.

Available editions:

- 12' vinyl EP (black) incl. printed inner sleeve (400 copies)
- 12" vinyl EP (clear) incl. printed inner sleeve (90 copies and exclusively available at Prophecy Fest 2016)
- CD Digipak

Today's tune is the title track of the latest EP "Virée Nocturne", 2016

Syd Arthur - Apricity

SYD ARTHUR have released a new album "Apricity", today we will play the title track of this folk, Krautrock and saucer-eyed psychedelia jazz band from Canterbury, UK. The band was formed in 2003 by brothers frontman Liam and bassist Joel Magill, drummer Fred Rother and violinist Raven Bush. Rother was officially replaced by the Magills' younger brother Josh in 2016.

SYD ARTHUR is a group who’ve opened for PAUL WELLER and YES and are about to tour with JAKE BUGG.

Today's tune "Apricity", the title track from the new album. It was released on 21 October, 2016. Directed by Liam Magill, Filmed & Edited by Gavin Bush & Projections by Oliver ChiltonP. The Video shows SYD ARTHUR hunched over their instruments playing in near darkness, lit only by flashing shapes and amorphous blobs of colour. It’s suggestive of that clip in most BBC4 documentaries about the ’60s, the one with PINK FLOYD at the UFO club lit only by flashing shapes and amorphous blobs of colour. "Apricity" is oddball, trippy pop music that leapfrogs boundaries and eras.




Upcoming Tour dates:

Tue 25 Oct 7:00 PMSound Knowledge, Marlborough, United Kingdom
Wed 26 Oct 7:00 PM Workmans, Dublin - POSTPONED, Dublin, Ireland
Thu 27 Oct 7:00 PM Rough Trade East, London, United Kingdom

Monomyth - LHC

MONOMYTH, unleashed from The Netherlands, is the hero’s journey; An epic journey with an unknown conclusion. The five who explore and expand the boundaries of their own musical universe. Firmly rooted in Space, Trance and Krautrock, the band leans heavily on a solid foundation of drums and bass guitar, while adding guitar, keyboards and textures layer upon layer. MONOMYTH will drag you inside their cosmic playground. Enter an arena where there is no more time or space, simply the vacuum in which communication is operated on a higher level. You can enter in two ways . . . simply by closing your eyes and letting the instrumental music transport you, or with eyes wide open as you descend into the mind staggering light show.

MONOMYTH stands for “thrilling instrumental soundscapes”, a rollercoaster ride in which the listener can lose themselves. It is the sound of five people searching for their musical boundaries and then moving beyond them. Monomyth transports you to another world, a place that feels both new and familiar. In the ranks, we find five people from different creative and musical backgrounds. MONOMYTHs music is a complete experience, a collective statement by five like-minded identities.

The MONOMYTH sound contains all the ingredients of rock & roll, but in a totally unique way. The band wants to draw their audience into a trance, caused by shifting patterns, repetitions and drones. The result is a stirring brew with links to PINK FLOYD, HAWKIND and TOOL, but with the innovative force of modern techno and ambient. It is rock you can dance to and lose yourself in. The journey and the adventure are always centre stage. With their expressive sound, the music by this collective would not be out of place in a psychedelic road movie.

Today's tune "LHC" is taken from latest album Exo, was released in Europe on 18-03-2016 via Suburban Records.

CRISÁLIDA: Spanish term for chrysalis (Latin chrysallis, from Greek khrūsallis = chrysallís, pl: chrysalides) or nympha is the pupal stage of butterflies; derived from the metallic gold-colouration found in the pupae of many butterflies referred to by the Greek term khrūsos (chrysós) for gold.

Pink Floyd - Louder Than Words

"Louder than Words" is a song written by David Gilmour and Polly Samson. The song, featuring lyrics written by Samson to accompany a composition by Gilmour, was originally recorded by British rock band Pink Floyd for their fifteenth studio album, The Endless River, where it appears as the closing track on the album. The track, which had its roots in the 1993 sessions for the band's previous studio album, The Division Bell, features a posthumous appearance by former keyboardist and founding member of Pink Floyd, Richard Wright, and an appearance by electronic string quartet Escala. "Louder than Words" is the only song on the album with lead vocals by Gilmour.

The music accompanying the song, composed by David Gilmour, has been described by various music critics and writers, including Exclaim! writer Josiah Hughes as a "A slow-burning, melodramatic track complete with plenty of intense guitar and synth work" and by Clash writer Robin Murray as a "sparse, trippy track, one which is heavy on guitar led atmosphere and ominous electronic production". The lyrics, written by Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, depicts "stately depiction of undying love, a tribute to Richard Wright and the importance of overcoming petty differences". Gilmour spoke about the song with The Guardian, stating:

Well, Rick is gone. This is the last thing that’ll be out from us. I’m pretty certain there will not be any follow up to this. And Polly, my wife, thought that would be a very good lyrical idea to go out on. A way of describing the symbiosis that we have. Or had… I didn’t necessarily always give Wright his proper due. People have very different attitudes to the way they work and we can become very judgmental and think someone is not quite pulling his weight enough, without realising that theirs is a different weight to pull.
 
"Louder than Words" has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Tom Breihan of Spin Media music webzine Stereogum wrote positively of the song, stating that "the song is a lovely piece of work, a slow prog-rock elegy with an gospel choir and some classic Floyd guitar". Brad Bershad of Zumic also gave the song a positive review. "Gilmour's guitar parts are stellar, although perhaps softer than the classic jagged tone of the '70s records.", he said. "Time has softened The Floyd a bit, but this is still a beautiful song. The autobiographical lyrics, referring to the power behind Pink Floyd’s music and infighting are excellent."

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and musically influential groups in the history of popular music.

Pink Floyd was founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. They gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). David Gilmour joined as a fifth member in December 1967; Barrett left the band in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the band's primary lyricist and, by the mid-1970s, their dominant songwriter, devising the concepts behind their critically and commercially successful albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983).

Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985, declaring it a "spent force". Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd; Wright rejoined them as a session musician and, later, a band member. The three produced two more albums, A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994), and toured until 1994. After nearly two decades of acrimony, Pink Floyd reunited with Waters in 2005 for a performance at the global awareness event Live 8, but Gilmour and Waters have since stated they have no plans to reunite as a band again. Barrett died in 2006 and Wright in 2008. A new Pink Floyd studio album recorded without Waters partially originating from material recorded in 1993–1994, The Endless River, was released in November 2014.

Todays tune "Louder Than Words" is taken from "The Endless River", the new album from Pink Floyd.

Opeth - Cusp Of Eternity

A new week, which means that we will present this week's "Record of the Week".

Pale Communion, the 11th full-length release for the Swedish progressive rock/metal band "Opeth", the album was produced by bandleader Mikael Åkerfeldt and mixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson.

The Swedes follows up the previous and surprising genre twist 2011's "Heritage" with the new Opeth effort, Pale Communion.The band continues on with the progressive path they made on "Heritage". The production is more expansive than before and the songs have more affinity and do not sprawl as much as it did on the last album. However, I hear more classical references now, bands like Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Genesis etc. appearing in the background.

The musicians are doing a fantastic job on Pale Communion, The most notable is Martin Axenrot who makes a huge impact on this record, he plays neat, stylish and this is probably the most well-filled drumming I've heard him do. Martin Mendez support Martin well and creates a perfect rhythm section. Joakim Svalberg on keys must really have fun on this record as he gets a lot of air and can jam freely. Åkerfeldt signs good, really good and handle his guitar excellent and his guitar partner Fredrik Åkesson handles the guitar just like that he could not do anything else, splendid in other words.

Pale Communion does really fill me up with exciting moments and keeps my interest flowing. The compositions are magnificence and full of dynamics and contrast. The sound on the Vinyl is amazing, a hell of  good pressing and It's a thrill and enjoyment to play this and I do enjoy playing this from the start to finish.

Mikael Åkerfeldt said of the album, "I wanted to do something more melodic with this album, so there's stronger vocal melodies and more melodies overall for this album." .

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky

Sunday, time for a classic. "The Great Gig in the Sky" is the fifth track on The Dark Side of the Moon, the 1973 album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It features voice instrumental music by Clare Torry.

Earlier this week did the Pink Floyd tribute band Brit Floyd a show here in Stockholm and I must say that I got amazed how well they did the songs and the performance, sound, light was almost identical to a real Pink Floyd show, well done guys.

So about todays tune...

The song began life as a Richard Wright chord progression, known variously as "The Mortality Sequence" or "The Religion Song". During 1972 performances of The Dark Side of the Moon song cycle (prior to the album being recorded), it was simply an organ instrumental accompanied by spoken word samples from the Bible and snippets of speeches by Malcolm Muggeridge, a British writer known for his conservative religious views. By the time the band came to record the song for Dark Side, the lead instrument had been switched to a piano rather than an organ. Various sound effects were tried for the track, including recordings of NASA astronauts communicating on space missions, but none were satisfactory. Finally, a couple of weeks before the album was due to be finished, the band decided to try having a female singer "wail" over the music. Clare Torry's vocals As the band began casting around for a singer, album engineer Alan Parsons suggested Clare Torry, a 22-year-old songwriter and session vocalist. Parsons had previously worked with Torry, and had liked her voice on a compilation album of covers. An accountant from Abbey Road Studios contacted Torry and tried to arrange a session for the same evening, but she was initially unenthusiastic. Torry was not a particular fan of Pink Floyd, and she had various other commitments, including, she later admitted, tickets to see Chuck Berry that evening. Eventually, however, a session was scheduled for the following Sunday.

The band played the instrumental track to Torry, and then with very little further direction asked her to improvise a vocal. At first, Torry struggled to divine what the band wanted, but then she was inspired to pretend that she herself was an instrument. She performed two complete takes, the second one more emotional than the first. David Gilmour asked for a third take, but halfway through Torry stopped, feeling she was getting repetitive and had already done the best she could. The final album track was assembled from all three takes. The members of the band were deeply impressed by Torry's performance, but were so reserved in their outward response that she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut. She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it.

And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it – you've got to go sometime.
— Gerry O'Driscoll, Abbey Road Studios janitorial "browncoat"

I never said I was frightened of dying.
— Patricia 'Puddie' Watts, wife of road manager Peter Watts

The great gig in the sky - Pink Floyd - Live in Venice 1989, the song was released 1 March 1973.

The Besnard Lakes - People of the Sticks

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 the attendance was so poor, some 100 paying guests only, strange that this band has not hit yet, but it will certainly hit in the near future for they were really awesome live, the guitar dist and the dreamy vocals had to work hard, even smoke machine were in full swing.

Even the support act did a good performance and can be something we will hear more in the future. 

Todays tune "People of the Sticks" is taken from the fourth studio album "Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO", released in April 2013 on Jagjaguwar

Girls - Die

Girls was an indie rock band from San Francisco, California. The band comprised two key members: Christopher Owens, songwriter and lead singer, and Chet "JR" White, who played bass and produced. Between 2009 - 2012 they released two full-length albums and one EP. In July 2012 Owens announced that he was leaving the band and would continue to record as a solo artist.

Owens was born into the fundamentalist cult Children of God, but absconded at 16 from their community in Slovenia to Amarillo, Texas. It took him years of exploring common technology, hardcore punk and nihilism, among other things, to cope in mainstream society. Upon arriving in San Francisco, Owens met White, a Bay Area native who was raised in Santa Cruz, California. White began recording bands in his parents' garage. Upon meeting, the two developed a strong bond and interest in similar music, as well as a shared background in Punk/Hardcore music. Shortly thereafter Owens and White started recording what was to later be their debut album, titled Album (September 2009).

Father, Son, Holy Ghost is the second and last album, released September 13, 2011. The album was heavily influenced by music from the 1960s and 1970s. Bands that influenced the album's sound included Deep Purple, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd.

Todays tune "Die" is taken from the album "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" and is the hardest song on the album, glorious riffs, howling and slightly vulgar beats, much like I want it. The tune and was influenced by Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well."



Girls live @ Music Box - Hollywood, CA - 12/06/11

Odyssey - Pyramids

For a little while ago I became one day older, not that i really celebrates birthdays any longer. But it's always nice to be remembered. Especially with a congratulations and then i never say no to a little gift :) Actually got some gifts, a few drawings from my daughters, a little bag for my ipod that my daughter had made, a new mouse to the computer of my wife. So I was really happy, it was a fantastic day. A few days ago a good friend "Chief Rebel Angel" came over for a coffee, he actually had a small bag with some great beer and a record as a gift. Wow, shit, how cool is that.

So today we serve you guys with some beer and naturally we pick out a track from the album I got.

Swedish hard rockers Graveyard Together by Three Towns Independent Brewers created beer. Graveyard Hisingen Brew - a tasty, healthy light layers with malt subtle and distinct aromatic notes from American Cascade aroma hops. Fruity, aromatic hop aroma and flavor, with hints of honey, herbs and citrus. This beer is pretty good for an rock'n roll beer!!

The second beer was also a real surprise, first time I tried this and it actually tasted really good, a future favorite perhaps? What I understood of "Chief Rebel" this was his house beer! Malt and hops are beautifully married in this full-bodied, copper-red Pale Ale. Red Seal is generously hopped for a long, spicy finish.

The album was Swedish Odyssey's "Abysmal Despair" that is a much anticipated debut album on Transubstans Records. Heavy & harsh stonerrock deluxe with a great feeling for riffs, the band hits it hard, and hits it good! Think stonerrock, add some noise and sludge - and you get a vague idea what this trio is all about, you will get some "Sleep", "Converge" and "Pink Floyd". Over time, it has in several occasions been called garage-stoner. The record came out as black vinyl but also in a limited release with the grand difference of colour; this gatefold is embracing a beautifully made green vinyl!

Odyssey is a trio consisting of Jonas Pedersen on vocals, Jesper Karlsson on drums and Marcus Östensson on guitar. The band came about after many discussions between the guys about creating a band that possesed a heavy sound and a driving energy. In spring 2010, it took shape. Already on day one Odyssey knew what to do, after only two rehearsals the first demo was recorded and the first gig booked.

And that pace has continued ...

After recording numerous demo tapes and an EP in true DIY spirit Odyssey will release their first full-length album on Transubstans earlier this spring.
