Imperial Triumphant- Spirit Of Ecstasy

Imperial Triumphant is releasing their upcoming album “Spirit Of Ecstasy” next Friday July 22nd and insanely lucky to have heard the album ahead of time. The band continues to defy music with a ton of influence in many ways (similar to Primus in that aspect) better known by […]

Dischordia- Triptych

Dischordia is releasing their ambitious full length “Triptych” on Transcending Obscurity Reccords later this month on the 29th. This album falls short of nothing and improves on the two song journey “Binge/Purge” from 4 years ago that still holds as my personal favorite. They added even more dissonance, […]

Imperial Triumphant- Alphaville

One of my favorite bands in the avant-garde/experimental metal scene Imperial Triumphant is releasing their album “Alphaville” later this month on July 31st.  Somehow, someway I was able to get my grimy hands on this gloriously unusual piece of music by the New York trio.  The older I get, the […]

Serpents- The Sunset And The Silhouette

Serpents released a song “The Sunset And The Silhouette” recently from their upcoming third album.  The band is a really avant-garde/slightly prog death metal band.  The vocals are really stellar and consistent, channeling lots of energy and emotion.  The music isn’t technical, but its really moody and kind of […]

Orchid- Miasma

  Mathcore/Prog Metal outfit Orchid is releasing their album “Miasma” tomorrow January 10th and it is quite the wild joyride through crackheadtown.  Truthfully I really dig this band.  They have the talent and energy of mathcore legends Dillinger Escape Plan, and the talent to pull off other jazzy and prog […]

Short Attention Span Theatre

The weird Progressive/Funk/Metal/Experimental band Short Attention Span Theatre bring a much needed and fresh sound to our local Western New York music scene.  Music is watered down these days, and it’s cool to see weirder and more artistic bands slowly come out of the woodworks.  These cats draw heavy influence […]

Dave’s Best of 2018 Awards!

Hello folks! I am back with my second “Best Of” Awards article…..but with more sections to spice things up. Newcomer Vick wrote hers and I’m here with my valued or unvalued opinion with some possible bias. The numbers aren’t important in my article I DO NOT RANK I just list […]
