We are all citizens of the empire.

While there is a lower class, we are in it.
While there is a criminal element, we are of it.
While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.

Insurrection is our only weapon against the machine of alienation.
Through obedience we develop the reflex of submission.
Apathy and resignation are the sources of our misfortune.
Power is not be conquered, it is to be destroyed.
Our struggle is to never forget.
Everything we possess will in turn possess us.

We pay for our lives with our deaths.

On Constants' new album, "If Tomorrow The War," these shoegazers turned indie-metal pioneers have further evolved their already genre-bending style and truly come into their own.

Produced by Jesu / Godflesh mastermind Justin K. Broadrick, basic tracks for the album were recorded at guitarist / vocalist Will Benoit's burgeoning Solar Powered recording studio (Radar Studios). There, Benoit—along with bassist Orion Wainer and drummer Rob Motes—has fine-tuned his band’s distinct energy and youthful ambition into a signature sound that is Constants and Constants alone.

The new record features guest appearances by Mike Hill (Tombs) and Andrew Neufeld (Comeback Kid, Sights & Sounds) and is the follow up Constants' 2009 critically acclaimed full-length "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension.”

Rökkurró’s melancholic serenades are evocative of the cold and desolate landscapes of their distant homeland. Mesmerising tones and swooping strings projected against a bleak and solitary Nordic backdrop. And yet, unique warmth pervades Rökkurró’s music owed to the fragile and soothing voice of Hildur Kristín Stefánsdóttir.

Their debut Það Kólnar Í Kvöld (It’s Getting Colder Tonight) was released in 2007 in Iceland, Europe and Japan to great critical acclaim, followed by tour dates with iconic figures of the Icelandic music scene múm and celebrated neo-classical composer Ólafur Arnalds.

Three years on Rökkurró are releasing their sophomore album Í Annan Heim (In Another World) produced by Alex Somers, partner and music collaborator of Jónsi Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós). Í Annan Heim is a collection of ten graceful compositions that showcase a darker, more expansive and mature sound, full of meticulously crafted melodies, complex arrangements and smooth sonic textures.

Album: Low Sky - Led Zeppelin House Show EP



Band: Low Sky
Album: Led Zeppelin House Show EP
Label: Headfirst Records
Year: 2010















Tracklist
01. Pigeon Handler
02. Streets of Gold
03. The Perilous Grey
04. Palace Flophouse
05. A Walking Sleep
Download

Low Sky is a Sludge influenced Hardcore band from Greensboro, NC. Featuring members of Advent and Braveyoung.

Taken from their myspace:
"They are the Virtues, the Graces, the Beauties of the hurried mangled craziness of Monterey and the cosmic Monterey where men in fear and hunger destroy their stomachs in the fight to secure certain food, where men hungering for love destroy everything lovable about them. Mack and the boys are the Beauties, the Virtues, the Graces. In the world ruled by tigers with ulcers, rutted by strictured bulls, scavenged by blind jackals, Mack and the boys dine delicately with the tigers, fondle the frantic heifers, and wrap up the crumbs to feed the sea gulls of Cannery Row. What can it profit a man to gain the whole world and to come to his property with a gastric ulcer, a blown prostate and bifocals? Mack and the boys avoid the trap, walk around the poison, step over the noose while a generation of trapped, poisoned, and trussed-up men scream at them and call them no-goods, come-to-bad-ends, blots-on-the-town, thieves, rascals, bums. Our Father who art in nature, who has given the gift of survival to the coyote, the common brown rat, the English sparrow, the house fly and the moth, must have a great and overwhelming love for no-goods and blots-on-the-town and bums, and Mack and the boys. Virtues and graces and laziness and zest. Our Father who art in nature."

Album: Tuber - S/t (EP)


Band: Tuber
Album: Tuber
Label: Self-released
Year: 2010








Tracklist
01. Sex And Depression
02. Lap Dance
03. The Fall Of The Wall
04. Attack From Mars

Tuber grew up in a sunny place, south of Greece, in an island called Crete. They were hiding from the sun, jamming in dark studios and playing their music in rock caves. As they moved north, sounds became lighter, since they started miss hot ground. Balance came as a result of smash, dark embraced light and improvisation turned into an effortless and instinctive process. Tuber moved their interest into new forms, founding themselves experimenting with compositions that combine mixed styles and sounds from different ground. Focus is now on rock aesthetic flirting with psychedelic atmosphere and a touch of romantic mood. At this time Tuber live in Serres, forming their feelings and thoughts into music and words, still learning how to leave with reality and reinventing it with love.

Video: Hell Pizza Interactive Movie Ad

OK, this post is not related to music in any way, but it was too good to let it go.
This is an interactive movie ad for franchised pizza restaurants called "Hell Pizza" in New Zealand. Yes... "HELL PIZZA" \m/
To post an ad is a little bit against the idea of this blog, but they done a great job to shoot this ad, and no I have never been there and this ad refers to people who live in New Zealand only. So no harm...
