Vinnum Sabbathi - In Search of M Theory

3 years have passed since the release of "Gravity Works". We have been through unique experiences and colossal changes during this time, not only as musicians but as human beings as well; this is our vision of those experiences.

"Of Dimensions & Theories" stands on a thin line between sci-fi and an impending doomed reality.

The year is 2061 and humanity is ready to become a planetary force with a complete scientific and technological mastery boosted by the invaluable data transmitted from cosmonaut Fritz on her way into a black hole, but the final piece of the puzzle lies hidden in deep space.

Rushed by the constant threat of nuclear war, disease and the imminent collapse of the environment (known as the Sixth Glare) humans have set the ultimate expedition; four earthling cosmonauts prepare to be the first ones in deep space exploration.

Their mission: to reach and explore the "point one" location in order to collect the missing data required to avoid this crisis and finally leap into inter-planetary conquest.

The Album is divided into two "Dimensions" and two "Theories", best represented on the vinyl edition. The 12" holds the two sides of this story while the 7" introduces different points of view from the general public about the current situation on the planet.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by KB in Testa Estudio. León, Gto. México. January 3rd - 5th 2020. The album was released March 27, 2020.

Elephant Tree - Habits

Monday, new week, time to present this week "Record Of The Week".

London's ELEPHANT TREE has slowly but steadily taken new ground since its start in 2013. Mainly through hard work and well-executed album releases. Marrying the sonic density of doom à la PALLBEARER with the vivid psychedelia of contemporaries such as ELDER. , 2020 and beyond is somewhat of a coming of age moment for ELEPHANT TREE as they move from a band in their infancy to magisterial mongers of their world within and outside of genre confines.

In "Habits" they follow the same ground as they have laid out on previous releases where the focus is on lazy and glorious harmonies with heavy syrup-thick riffs, compact sludgy grooves in a midway pace that are floating out in majestic psychedelic landscapes. This is all tied together with sublime harmonic vocals that possess a charming hedonism to their timbre, which is sure to win over the lush in all of us. Some of "Habits" delights would be the single tunes "Sails" and "Bird" that with huge catchy choruses and big music harmonies hit you right in the stomach. The powerful and dramatic "Wasted" is just marvelous, epic stunning riffage in "Faceless", the catchy and groovy "Exit The Soul", the amazing folkish guitar piece "The Fall Chorus" and the beautiful and dark closer "Broken Nails". This is their most expansive and well-crafted album so far. I just want to play it over and over again. If there’s any justice, 2020 will be the year ELEPHANT TREE bloom out of best kept underground secret into a household name.

"Habits" was released on April 24, 2020 via Holy Roar Records.

Sum: "Habits" is a stoner doom masterpiece.

ELEPHANT TREE is:

Jack Townley - Guitar/Vocal

Peter Holland - Bass/Vocal

Sam Hart - Drums

Riley MacIntyre - Producer/Extra Instrumentation

John Slattery - Synth/Guitar

Nathan Hickey - Guitar/Hariboo

Emloin Stevie - Fixer

"fly
rising
die
trying"

Is the chorus from today's tune "Bird", enjoy this beauty.

Blue Öyster Cult - See You In Black

Sunday, time for a classic.

"See You In Black" is a bit of a forgotten rock splash taken from the thirteenth studio album "Heaven Forbid" by the American hard rock band BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, released in 1998. It was the band's first studio album with new material in a decade (not counting the 1992 soundtrack to Bad Channels). American science fiction and horror writer John Shirley wrote lyrics to most of the songs on the album. While he his primarily known as an author for his cyberpunk stories, many of the lyrics on this album revolve around early science fiction and mystery motifs. The album's working title was 'Ezekiel's Wheel,' after the Biblical story that some take to reference an early visitation by UFOs.

The album's live song "In Thee" was originally featured on Mirrors. "Still Burnin'" is a sequel to the song "Burnin' for You" that appeared on Fire of Unknown Origin.

The inspiration for the alternative cover is Morgan Fairchild. This image also appears on the reverse of the insert and was originally intended to be the front piece as indicated by advertisements from the period.

The album was re-released on April 17, 2020 by Frontiers.

Alternative Cover for the album.

Today's tune with BLUE ÖYSTER CULT performing "See You In Black" @ The Illinois State Fair Grandstand on 08-17-12, enjoy!

Soilwork - Desperado

"Desperado" is the second installment in SOILWORK's "Feverish" trilogy. It will end up next Saturday.

Commented the band: "Desperado", just like "Feverish", is a song about how a single emotion can overtake your entire being, and consume you like an almost sentient force. Desperado is about what lies behind and beyond, the places you normally avoid. But they will always be there. "Desperado" is shock rock and metal mayhem for those of us who long for a way out."

The song was written and composed by David Andersson. The song was recorded at SolnaSound Recordings, Stockholm with Simon Johansson and The Panic Room, Skövde with Thomas Plec Johansson. Violin recorded by Rachel Hall. "Desperado" was produced by SOILWORK and Thomas Plec Johansson and also mixed and mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson. René U Valdes produced and directed the music video.

The band earlier about that concept: "So, while the background and and motives are a bit sketchy, and the band seems reluctant to reveal too many details, SOILWORK will be releasing »The Feverish Trinity« over the next five months, a trilogy of songs with accompanying videos that, according to SOILWORK, will ”celebrate the Babylonian Death Goddesses that once made the world a more Feverish and exciting place”.

Enjoy "Desperado" and the follow-up tune next Saturday.
