Eclectic Vibes

D Numbers - Lightparade
D NumbersLightparade
Label: Self Released
Boarding on instrumental jamtronica but activating just enough quirky indie rock impressions as to not be permeated with a patchouli patina. The stylistic layered approach that this Santa Fe, NM trio utilizes is a constant but the sonic outcomes create a variety of tonal conundrums.
Diary Of Dreams - Nekrolog 43
Diary Of DreamsNekrolog 43
Label: Metropolis Records
Dark and haunting gothic industrial electronica with sinister ambience yet beautifully breathtaking beats and passages. From the deep and demented mind and voice of Adrian Hates.

Sequoia Groove PresentsAngels Voices

Six And ViolenceBastards of the Universe
Label: Dignified Bastards
A double disc complete discography of the band’s twenty year existence. These 58 songs are rife with great old school NYC hardcore punk riffs, attitude and humor.
• Six And Violence Wiki3 - The End Is Begun
3The End Is Begun
Label: Metal Blade Records
Moody, paradoxical and sophisticated rhythms compliment the succinct and distinct vocals which soar but do not annoy, while utilizing technical prowess to bring broad minded progressive metal to new heights.

Ascension Of The WatchersNuminosum
Label: 13th Planet Records
New brainchild of recently re-inspired vocalist Burton C Bell (Fear Factory, G/Z/R). This stab at emotive spiritually uplifting rock unfortunately comes off bearing a droning, nebulous, implosion of talent and musical fortitude. Not good.

Chip RamanEdge Of A Song
Label: Rosebud Records
This talented singer/songwriter has packaged art, heart and musical revelry into one cohesive package bearing his name and providing a nice platform for spreading his thought provoking, easy going compositions.

Egypt CentralEgypt Central (self titled)
Label: Fat Lady Music
Originating from Memphis, TN (not Egypt) this highly emotive, overly pimped and polished nu-ish metal is undeniably very hard rock radio friendly, but they appear to have sacrificed their integrity and sold their musical souls to get there. Yawn!

Ryan Montbleau bandPatience on Friday
Label: Self Released
This album, a tribute to the band’s good friend and backup drummer Denis Babin who died in 2006, shows off a zippy, zesty, robust and charismatic singer/songwriter with his band strutting a stoic resonance with a sturdy stance.

Dub TrioAnother Sound Is Dying
Label: Ipecac Recordings
Swirling metal, reggae, dub, jazz and a sphincter load of talent together with unscrupulous sounds in an elevator shaft of musical potential that also swings the fulcrum of nefarious fanaticism to produce outlandish yet cohesive results in a Melvins kinda way.

No Redeeming Social ValueStill Drinking
Label: Dead City Records
Determined to live up to their name, these unabashedly confrontational and alcoholic fueled New York Hardcore addicts hammer home a gaggle of humorously juvenile songs, with titles and concepts to frame their unredeemable status.

Bleeder ProjectThe Systematic Subversion of Fear and Insecurity
Label: Toystaar Records
Gabriel Scott is the prolific front man at the helm of this project that focuses on heavy industrial rock and strong early Nine Inch Nails-like angst with pop hooks to it.
