Meshuggah Should Always Be an Internet Meme
Meshuggah’s having a great time as an internet meme lately, from their own version of Pacman to The Wolf of Wallstreet. Why not perpetuate it? After all, who has anything better to do than direct the Swedish metal powerhouse’s lead singer Jens Kidman after guitar picks in a makeshift Pacman, chased by the other members? Thought not – so go play it here. And when … Continue reading Meshuggah Should Always Be an Internet Meme
Artist Spotlight: Sisters Of…
Try Googling Sisters Of… and you’ll probably just get a lot of stuff about Sisters of Mercy. Their lack of search-ability adds to the band’s general mystique – an aspect perpetuated by the fantastically sinister cover. Their debut 5-track EP Follow Me as a Ghost, opens building to serious pay-off in the realm of a pounding riff that could almost be a toned down, but … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Sisters Of…

Especially when you come to the final track, the … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Totem Skin
Still the best / creepiest EPK.
Everyone’s putting out EPKs for their albums, books, films, cats and whatever else they have coming soon. Ranging from tedious and text based, to full out Hollywood dramatics, they range in effectiveness for teasing us into awaiting the final product. When it comes to albums, these often sit within the aforementioned tedious category – small snippets of the song, along with some cover art and … Continue reading Still the best / creepiest EPK.
Track of the Week #1 – Brody Dalle ‘Meet the Foetus’
Brody Dalle/Armstrong/Homme’s back and we should all be happy about this. As long as we perhaps overlook Spinerette happening. And the other stuff. It’s all in the past, people; look forward. Her debut solo single ‘Meet the Foetus/Oh the Joy pounds out low-key rumbling, moody and a little bit new-wave and it’s all good. Peaking at a NIN style climax with a punky whisper to … Continue reading Track of the Week #1 – Brody Dalle ‘Meet the Foetus’
