The Inquisition: 004.Barrows



1. How did you came up with the name of the band?

Barrows by definition means "burial mounds". I guess for us its this idea of being pushed to create after observing this sort of visual reminder of where we are all headed.

2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it?

We start small and build, could be a riff, or a drum beat, or a sound, or anything really. We usually start with some pieces and think about what these sounds feel like to us. From there we construct the theme of the album. Once the concept for the album is planned out we write the rest of the music to that concept.  A lot of our new album “Red Giant” started with a drum beat and the songs were written around it.

3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home? 

We have a lot of influences, music, films, art, stories etc… 
Usually we like for our albums to have a strong concept/or theme and that original idea can be inspired by any kind of art.  We listen to all kinds of music, not just rock music.

4. What is the first record you've ever bought ?

 The first two albums I (Jim) owned were Nirvana "Nevermind" and Kris Kross "Totally Krossed Out" both on tape, I think I was like 7 or 8 years old.  Although I still like and listen to Nirvana today, I can’t say the same for Kriss Kross. That just goes to show you how influential the radio/mass media can be on young kids.

5. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with ?

 Current: Maserati
 Past: King Crimson or Pink Floyd

6. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to?

Internet has been hugely beneficial for us. Blogs have shared our videos and music.  Without it we would not have reached many of the people that we have, and for that we are grateful.  The majority of digital and mail order album sales we have are from foreign countries.

7. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like spotify?

 Bandcamp is the shit! Everyone should support it because it lets bands keep what they have earned.  We really like the “pay what you want” feature.  People have the option to download for free or they can download and also throw us some cash if they want to contribute.

As far as Spotify and Pandora are concerned, we don’t think it’s a very fair business model as far as payouts, but it seems like the major forms of music distribution have always been unfair. We choose to be a part of these services in hopes that our music will reach someone who likes it.

8. Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

 Playing music.

9. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?

We consider our artwork an integral part in understanding the concept of our albums.  Even if there isn’t a concept that unifies a bands album, the artwork is still very important, its an extension of the music in a different form.

10. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?

 These days CD’s are obsolete, you can get everything you can from a CD in an uncompressed digital track other than the packaging, which is very small anyway.  Vinyl is our favorite.  It has a warm sound that CD’s cant deliver. Plus the artwork is displayed in a much bigger and nicer fashion.  Its nice to experience an album as a whole.  In such a fast paced digital world a lot of the time the simplicity of that act is lost on people.  These days a lot of people just listen to playlists.  It’s also nice just to have a tangible form of music, instead of a digital file.

Barrows' second album "Red Giant" is going to be released on May 6, 2014.

Update: Athletics - Who You Are Is Not Enough

Deep Elm Records is pleased to announce the forthcoming re-release of Who You Are Is Not Enough, the third album from post-rock / post-hardcore heroes Athletics. A conceptual record about the quest to find oneself, Who You Are Is Not Enough was written stylistically as one song separated into five parts relating to love, loss and acceptance. The 10 track re-release will include the original five part album released in June 2012 plus an instrumental version of each part dubbed the 'Find Yourself' tracks. "This is an album about finding yourself. So we felt it was only appropriate to remove the albeit very poetic lyrics in order to give the listener an option to create his or her own experience to the masterful music without any pre-conceived ideas. It's a very powerful, unique, genre-spanning album that stands on its own with or without lyrics. So fans now have a choice on how to make the most of the music" says label owner John Szuch.

"This re-release lets us showcase these songs in a different way. The vocals on Who You Are Is Not Enough are sparse for a reason: we wanted the music to tell its own story. We are now taking it a step further by including instrumental versions of each song, letting the listeners decide what these songs truly mean for themselves. Who You Are Is Not Enough was also recorded to flow seamlessly from our debut. The opening of the album is actually the piano section of the song Affliction from the debut in reverse. So we are excited to have our entire discography in the same place. We're happy to be home" says guitarist Garrett Yaeger.

"Who You Are Is Not Enough is the constant feeling that everything you're doing and all the effort you are exerting is still not enough. Sometimes your best just isn't good enough, and for somethings it never will be. Ultimately after all that self-doubt, all the failures, and self-reflection, you realize there are more important things to worry about than being good enough for some social, economic or emotional standard. This album has been a long time in the making. It revolves around a single idea that was expanded on time and time again. When Athletics first formed we wrote a song called Five Years Later which was never recorded and rarely performed. It was about a friend that had passed five years earlier. It was the most important subject I had ever attempted to write about. I was never happy with the outcome of the song, it was never good enough, it never paid enough tribute, it never captured the emotion and he deserved more. Since his passing, I have constantly measured my failures and shortcomings against the notion that he would never even have the chance to fail. Having the perspective of failing being better than nothing at all is the idea that shaped the album. It relates our collective struggles and compares them to something bigger," adds Yeager.

Athletics is Jimmy Boyce (guitar, bass), John Cannon (drums, bass), Howie Cohen (guitar, vocals, bass), Garrett Yaeger (guitar, piano, vocals, bass) and new bassist Zach West who did not play on the album. Who You Are Is Not Enough was recorded with Kevin Dye at Teleportation Studios in Freehold, NJ (Gates, Vasudeva, Let Me Run) and mixed and mastered by Greg Dunn (Moving Mountains, Gates, Vasudeva). Rosetta latte artwork by John Cannon. Athletics released their Deep Elm Records debut Why Aren't I Home? in October 2010 to rave reviews and their piano-only Stop Torturing Yourself EP in June 2012. Band photo by Jeff Zorn. The band formed in Upstate New York but now resides in the musically rich, seaside capital of the New Jersey Shore...Asbury Park. And yes, Athletics really is as good as everyone says they are.

04. This Is The End
Download

Act 1: Running away from the ashes of my life

Arsiesys left everything behind her. Walking for days, weeks, months. Waiting for the apocalypse which didn't come. During her journey she observed the dictature of the spirit, exercised by what is hidden within human civilisation.

Her road leads her to the end of the world. The next step she takes will bring her into the void, and life will then be over. One more step, under this beautiful blue sky. But she doesn't fall. A door, on the side of what seems to be a spaceship, appears in front of her. It opens, and the Stranger held within, like the most angelic of angels, motions her to get on.


Act 2: Flying away from the ashes of the world

The Stranger wakes up on Earth. Twenty-first century Earth. His original world explosions bring him back to the past. He was attracted here, but he is in the wrong place. He quickly realises that the end of his world will cause the fall of this one. He has to leave.

He sees this mysterious woman on the edge of the void where The Freedom, his spaceship, has landed. Just as she is about to end her life, he opens the airlock leading to the exit, and reaches out to her. No words, no noise. She enters the ship, which then takes off and escapes from Earth's atmosphere. Arsiesys and the Stranger silently watch the first destruction. The first end of the world.

Mantar manages to sound heavier than most five piece bands you may know, in spite of the fact that no bass guitar was used on this record. Just drums and guitar set for destruction. Forget about rock 'n roll. This will hurt. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet feedback orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motorhead, Darkthrone. You name it. Don't call it sludge though. Everything as black as possible. A soundtrack for the final battle.

The Inquisition: 003.Outwailed



1. How did you came up with the name of the band?

When we first started playing together the band didn't have a name and we were mainly just jamming together to see if it's going to be any good. After about 1,5 years of head scratching we figured out it might be time to release something. We came up with a brilliant name, but soon found out that it was already taken by an East European europop girl band. Bummer. Outwailed was our second option. It sounds good, it reflects the nature of this project, it doesn't have any strong connotations, and most importantly there are no bands with the same name.

2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it?

Every song is a result time-consuming twiddling and group effort. The process usually starts with a riff or a melody and a vague idea of the structure. That draft is then repeated over and over until everything falls into place and everyone feels they have given their contribution to the end result. In most cases, the resemblance between the original idea and the final result is next to none.

3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home?

We all come from somewhat different musical backgrounds, so there's no single answer to this question. What is in common between all the members of the band is that no one is particularly picky or faithful to a certain genre. Good music is good, never mind the box it has been stuffed in. One album from the recent times that we've all shared an interest is Year of No Light's Tocsin.

4. What is the first record you've ever bought?

Wow. This is a jump to the deep end. Collection is: Alice Cooper - Trash, Greenday - Dookie, Metallica - Ride the Lightning, and last but not least Roxette - Crash! Boom! Bang!

5. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with?

There are a ton of great bands in Finland that all should receive recognition and have an opportunity to tour and gig. It would be great to see as many as possible in one event and be a part of the line-up as well. Kurouma, Mother Susurrus, Lurk, Katakombi to name a few.

6. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to?

It's absolutely mind blowing how far music can spread by simply uploading it to the web. We've done very little to promote our music (mainly because we don't have any commercial goals), and still we've reached listeners all around the world. For some reason, heavier and gloomier stuff from Finland seems to be really popular in the Baltic countries and in Russia. That's been some what surprising to notice. Blogs and web zines are a great source to find new music from all over the world that otherwise would remain local and underground in their origins. All those people writing blog posts and reviews are doing an amazing job. We salute you!

7. Do you support the idea of Bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify?

Bandcamp is a great service since it is so easy to use as a release platform for digital music. There's also the possibility to pay for the music you like, directly to the artist. We strongly believe that there will always be people that are willing to support the bands, by either paying for the downloads or buying records. Spotify on the other hand works as a tool to listen and discover albums you'd like to buy. It's been good to see that small DIY bands have found their ways to Spotify as well.

8. Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

Making music and having fun, just like so far.

9. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era?

Starting from the golden age of vinyl records, album artwork has developed into an art form of it's own. It takes a shit load of changes to wipe out an entire form of art, developed over multiple decades. The output might alter but the message is still there. Album art will always be needed in provoking feelings and images that support the music. We see it as a inseparable part of music and releases, no matter the format.

10. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format?

As it can be perceived from our recordings, we like things analog. It's just great that people have found vinyl again. There's nothing like unwrapping an album for the first time and blasting it while fiddling with the covers.

11. What's the funniest story or moment as a band?

Recording the vocals for our latest album, 'Observant', was surely a an occasion to remember. We built a home studio to our rehearsal space, a relatively small windowless bunker located underground. There were four of us plus a dog observing two gents screaming and growling their lungs out. The dog might have been the only one who survived without ruptured abs and/or lifelong source of nightmares.

Challenger Deep was formed in the end of 2009 and their music is a mix of screamo, post-metal, post-hardcore and post-rock. In July of 2011 the band released their debut album "Our Own Prisons". For 2 years Challenger Deep played along with Amia Venera Landscape, Devil Sold His Soul, The Ocean and now, after numerous changes in the band, they released their second album.

"The album is dedicated to the day when the humanity aspires gradually, actively and ruthlessly destroying each other and and the guiding light in their hearts. We can deny it, we can master the depression, but eventually we accept it. And killing the remains of hope, we take the his (her) hand if someone else so worthless and poor will stay with us, and look into the eyes of the end of everything... "

The experimental post-rock band Labirinto from Sao Paulo (Brazil) teams up with the prolific one-man guitar drone machine thisquietarmy from Montreal (Canada) to present their new recordings. 

They both met and played together in Montreal when Labirinto was touring in North America for the 2nd time (early 2012). While Labirinto & thisquietarmy hail from different hemispheres, they have a mutual admiration for each other’s sound and work ethics, as well as their shared influences of textured sounds such ambient, psychedelic, post-rock & black metal. Furthermore, their common perspective of the world have bound them to create a record inspired by cultural & social values, political situations and universal phenomenons. 

As an ambitious 7-piece band, Labirinto’s instrumentation includes a combination of orchestral guitar riffs, synthesizers, bass, cello, drums & percussion. Their critically acclaimed 2010 debut album “Anatema” was by mixed Greg Norman (Pelican, Russian Circles), followed by their “Kadjwynh” EP in 2012. This time, they asked Tony Doogan (Mogwai) to mix the brand new material for their side of this split record. 

thisquietarmy is known for his outputs on respected experimental labels such as Denovali (Germany), Aurora Borealis (UK), Basses Frequences (France) & Alien8 Recordings (Canada), as well as his numerous collaborations with Aidan Baker, Scott Cortez (lovesliescrushing), Monarch, Noveller, Year Of No Light & Yellow6. His hypnotic live performances are usually accompanied by abstract ethereal visuals, as seen on his European tours with Aidan Baker, AUN, Caspian, Nadja & Year Of No Light. He was also the founder of shoegaze/post-rock band Destroyalldreamers. On his side of the record, he showcases the different sides of his staple drone buildups & dark ambient soundscapes.

EP: Tom Adams - In The Constant Noise


Band: Tom Adams
Album: In The Constant Noise EP
Label: Self Released
Year: 2014








Tracklist
01. Migration
02. Travel Where The Moon Pulls
03. In The Constant Noise
04. From A Great Height
05. A Breath
06. The End
Download

Tom Adams (The Mountaineering Club Orchestra) is a multi instrumentalist composer, producer and songwriter based in the UK. He recently composed the OST for the Universal Pictures feature film 'The Knife That Killed Me'.

'In The Constant Noise' was recorded outside very late at night using a small hand-held recorder. On each recorded layer the sounds of wind, rustling leaves and other natural reverberations can be heard in the background. By emphasizing and celebrating these imperfections, the idea of silence in a world where high noise levels are the norm is explored. The result is a set of songs that, whilst each telling their own story, are unified in a melancholic lament for the sounds that have been lost in the constant noise.

This Social Coil was created in spring 2011, founded in Nordrhein-Westfalen - Germany.  It´s hard to describe the music direction exactly. It´s something between post-rock, indie and alternative, instrumentals and vocals.  The influences are coming from post-rock, post-punk and typical alternative sounds. Lyrics often treat philosophically typical thoughts of the life.

Streaming: Sora Shima - You Are Surrounded


Band: Sora Shima
Album: You Are Surrounded
Label: Self Released
Year: 2014

Once described by Undertheradar as "properly abstract, terrifyingly beautiful", New Zealand sonic rock architects Sora Shima have been quietly (or perhaps not so quietly) honing their "dark and dreamy" instrumental craft since 2006. The fiercely independent group have self-released 3 EPs, a beautiful 10 inch vinyl 'Empress' and an ambitious longplayer entitled 'You Are Surrounded' (2014).

Sora Shima's debut album has finally arrived. You Are Surrounded is the culmination of years (almost 7...) of struggle - from studios being struck down by lightning just hours before the band were booked in, to scraping and restarting the recording process several times, all the while losing and gaining band (and family) members along the way. There were wonderful, small victories followed by major setbacks. Days turned to weeks, eventually months - at times the odds seemed insurmountable. But they did it.
