Baroness - Swollen and Halo

 

Two days ago, more precisely Thursday, did i visited Debaser, Slussen together with a good friend Robert (Chief Rebel Angel), our plan was to enjoy the nice weather and watch a concert with Baroness that would play there this evening. We sipped some fine beer and greeted on some familiar faces, looked quickly into the support act Pike, who was OK live, unfortunately, did we only see one song so I can not say much more than that.

Robert and I spoke about commercial music with Tomas Andersson, the singer and songwriter in the band "Itchy Days." It was interesting to hear the plans of his band's future and his love for Baroness, which you could say about almost everyone who was there, then saying not just to me or my friends but can almost count everyone who was there.

How was the gig then?, damn!, I say. It was extremely good, what a feeling it were at Debaser, an incredible wibb that the band creates, incredibly good moves in the songs, very hot, sweaty. I almost dropped in a trance during the show. A very interesting observation was that singer John Baizley sings exactly the same live as on record, incredibly fascinating.

Baroness is a band from Savannah, Georgia whose members grew up together in Lexington, Virginia. They combine elements of sludge metal, progressive metal and punk.

Here are some pictures from the show:

Todays tune "" is taken from the second LP "Blue Record", was released on October 13, 2009. It is considered the sister album to the previous album, Red Album. Todays video is filmed 12/5/09 at the Clubhouse in Tempe

Patti Smith - Constantine's Dream

Today I made a small visit to a very good and cozy little record shop, mostly to congratulate the store owner on his birthday and chat a little music, always a pleasure to slip in and exchange a few words, see what has happened within the music market and if something fun have been released. For some reason when you get in it usually is very rarely that you come out empty handed.

Also this time I came out with a bag in my hand. Today it became in fact an album with Patti Smith, her latest on Vinyl, which apparently should sound fantastic according to the store owner ... fun going to be really nice to listen to it. But as usual I can not keep myself, on with Spotify and listen to the plate. Shit, this was really good, she is truly have a high standard even if the years has gone. The album sounds really good. Banga has sweet moments of tunes" with alot of magic.

Banga is the eleventh studio album by American rock musician, polar prize winner Patti Smith, released on June 1, 2012. Recorded throughout 2011 at New York's Electric Lady Studios and Hoboken's Hobo Recorders, Banga was produced by Smith, Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daugherty and collaborator Lenny Kaye. The album includes a number of guest muscians including Tom Verlaine of Television, Jack Petruzzelli and Smith's own children, Jackson and Jesse Paris.

Inspired by Smith's "unique dreams and observations," the material on Banga focuses on "a wide range of human experience" and features songs about history, current affairs, death and nature.

Todays tune "Constantine's Dream", taken from Banga, is one of the album's stand-out tracks, the one that really hooked me.

Ne Obliviscaris- Forget Not

Today we take a giant leap and land on other side of the sphere, namely Melbourne, Australia. There we find a band "Ne Obliviscaris" (pronounced; Nay Ob-li-vis-kar-is), they formed already in 2003, hit the live scene February, 2006 to widespread critical acclaim with many hailing their unique sound, intense live shows and extremely talented line-up.

A 6 piece metal band consisting of violin, 2 guitars, bass, drums, clean and extreme vocals; Ne Obliviscaris include a vast array of influences within their sound from progressive to black, thrash, death and melodic metal, and even western art music, jazz and flamenco. Creating music of many extremes, and with compositions often exceeding ten minutes in length, Ne Obliviscaris is at times very technical and complex and at others simple and subtle, creating an extremely original brand of metal that defies normal categorisation.

A review on WeRock can be found here, is written by Martin Bensch! And I can only agree with what he writes. This is a really damn good album and will probably stay for a list positioning when this year's records will be crowned.

Nice T-Shirt, get it here!

Today tune "Forget Not", is taken from their new album "Portal Of I", order it here!



Here is a pretty new clip with Ne Obliviscaris from Melbourne performing their song, Forget Not live at The Wall in Sydney on 16th June, 2012.



The band consists of:

Xenoyr - Lead Vocals & Lyrics
Tim Charles - Violin & Clean Vocals
Matt Klavins - Guitar
Brendan 'Cygnus' Brown - Bass
Benjamin Baret- Lead guitar
Nelson Barnes - Drums
