Eclectic Vibes
by Andrew Frey
Vermillion - Vermillion
VermillionVermillion
Label: Self Released
Death metal comes in many forms, speeds and inclinations. This Madison based foursome likes their brutality slow but super heavy and in a retro vein. These long time scene supporters and metal monsters unleash their fury to the unsuspecting masses amidst bursts of putrid passion, societal vulgarity and eviscerating attitude.

Various ArtistsGlitch & Funk Volume 1
Label: Adapted Records
Once in a great while a compilation is more than a collection of songs. Occasionally it is replayable party mix of highly memorable artists that continually blow your mind. So it is with Melbourne Australia’s Adapted Records compilation of Glitch & Funk. This release shows off a reverberant selection of body moving funky bass crossed with uplifting vibes amid memorable electronic elicitations and breakdowns.

Delightfully delicious, dynamic and intense musical drama from Sweden’s one and only Opeth! Their 13th release is a double, offering these 10 engaging and enrapturing progressive rock and metal compositions sung first and foremost in Swedish, but then also including with English accompaniment. Every listen unveils new layers of breathtaking delicacy, interesting interludes and amazing musicianship. Bravo!

Label: Tropical Twista Records
Want to support the front line defenders of the Amazon rain forest? Proceeds from this wonderful compilation of etheric ethno-tronica, put together by the art collective voodoohop, supports two organisations working with indigenous communities in that area. (www.kaninde.org.br/lista-projetos/ & iieb.org.br/projetos-e-programa…/povos-indigenas-2/ ) The tracks are all good, but Xique Xique, Philosamples and Bliz Nochi got more repeats in my ears.
