Echoes Therein Gale is an experimental/dark ambient band from Greece. Atmospheric yet intense is the sound of the band. “Echoes Of Darkness” is their debut album and it has been released this November by Thonar Records. The band has also collaborated with the japanese cyber punk writer Kenji Siratori and has released an ep.

Echoes Therein Gale is not just music. It's a nigthmare that was born back in 2006. A neverending story of darkness, grief and hope. The music is just the soundtrack of this horrible dream...

La Dispute is a five-piece band from Grand Rapids, MI. Most frequently referred to as Post-Hardcore (but sometimes also Progressive Rock and Screamo).

La Dispute has spent roughly the last year of its existence writing and recording their first full length album, called "Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair," in hopes of accurately displaying their growth both as individuals and as a single artistic unit while creating an end product that encourages the listener to both think and feel.

Drawing its title from an Asian folktale, "Somewhere" attempts to prompt discussion regarding the aspects of ourselves that prevent us from maintaining our happiness as people by documenting both their own experiences in the matter and the experiences of those around them, while musically encouraging the listener to expand their notions of music and art by exploring time signatures, tempos, dynamics, song structures, etc. The result of countless sleepless nights, exhaustingly precise recording sessions, and a diligence bordering psychosis, "Somewhere" is far and a way the bands most mature, articulate, and diverse release thus far expanding significantly upon the groundwork from its previous two short releases. Recorded at Studiotte in Grand Rapids by Joel and Troy Otte with artwork by Nick Satinover, "Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair" attempts to display an unceasing passion for art, emotion, love, community, and any other aspect of life that similarly inspires humanity to create for the better.

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. My Sleeping Karma combines the organic aspect of psychedelic groove rock with emotional shades of aphasian landscapes. That was the inTention of the debut album and it still remains. Guitar, bass and drums in love with a soundboard. But now is the time to take a step beyond. My Sleeping Karma's new album "Satya" has been released september 20th on Elektrohasch Records. And time is the major keyword in the context of "Satya". The conditioned mind is always moving between the past and future, and this movement activity creates the illusion of time. Use your illusion and you will discover the voice within. My Sleeping Karma is enlightment.

Album: Ashes And Iron - Silens



Band: Ashes And Iron
Album: Silens
Label: Self Released
Year: 2008






Tracklist
01.Black Pavillions
02.Khorkoi
03.Silens
Download MP3 or WAV

Ashes And Iron is a band hailing from Saint Louis, US and consists from six band members:
Thad Martin - Drums
Dave Lawrence - Bass
Chris Denton - Guitars
David Miller - Guitars
Ian Mahan - Guitars
Kenny Snarzyk - Keyboards/Vocals

They have released their first demo which is free for everyone to download from their site. The demo has three tracks and its playtime is 30'. During hearing the EP you're completely stunned by the doomish melodies of theirs. I have to admit though that 30' are not enough to satisfy your need for a mix of post-metal, sludge and doom, so I heard it 4 times in a row.

Maybe they found the element that Sirens used to attract the sailors, but believe me when I say that this is the most exciting and interesting EP I heard for a while, and this is only a demo. Let's hope that they'll release a full length album, which will be even more stunning. Great job guys!!!

Absolutely recommended for fans of Cult Of Luna, Isis, Callisto.

Duet of terrible children, sons of punk-rock and noise, One second riot develops a personal musical universe, made from atmospheres sometimes intimate, sometimes close to the mass hysteria from where a skinned voice is extirpated, cutting through a path between noise, post-hardcore and industrial music.

Adolf Plays the Jazz is a Greek post rock band formed in Athens in the year of 2002. They started creating music for soundtracks of films their friends made. Their musics aim is to combine the art rock of the 70's (head music) with todays post rock feeling (heart music) through a punk//do it yourself//lo-fi - attitude.

Adolf plays the jazz
stands against the promotion system which serves plastic art and fake idols...their stuff is free, which means that no-one has the right to earn money from it...their belief is to spread their music with the only and honest way , hand to hand and word of mouth.

Adolf plays the jazz has nothing to do with politics and especially fascism

The Samuel Jackson Five, or the SJ5, started up a couple of years ago as a failed drum’n’bass-project. After numerous changes in material, instruments, visions and band members, we've finally released our debut album. It has received good reviews and enabled us to do a fair amount of gigs. The Samuel Jackson Five have always been an alternative to the mainstream acts and see no reason to change that now. We let each individual explore and push their own limits, without losing focus on the melody. The outcome is ever changing but often leads to ethereal, experimental, improvised, dynamic music. Or at least thats what we think.

The album will be released the 10th of November. Look for buy info at the band's official site or Myspace page.
