Posted on by

Enigmatic artist None has teamed up with Ghost Cult to debut the new music video for the single “Dusk Skies Over The Dreaming Forests!” None’s output defies genres and self-describes the music as “The Dark Gospel,” but comes from a well of raw, underground music with a sick pedigree. Like the song itself, the video is cinematic in scope and feel, like a mini-arthouse movie with a metal soul. The track comes off the long-awaited album Supreme Dedication To The Craft Is Forever, to be released at a later date. Watch it now!Continue reading →


ALBUM REVIEW: King Yosef – Spire of Fear

Posted on by

King Yosef has always leaned into the more abrasive end of their music, and Spire of Fear (Bleak House Records) has pushed it even further into that direction with an increasingly confrontational aggression. Sonically harrowing with the genre-defining mechanical stomp. That is not to say the entire album just grinds with a robotic pulse, as there are moments like “Glimmer” to provide a more melodic contrast. It’s a darker song with a very reverb-drenched mix that sets the vocals at the end of a dark tunnel. It tapestry of cool sounds that don’t hook into years but serves stark monument of sound.Continue reading →

ALBUM REVIEW: Deftones – private music

Posted on by

Five years can seem like an eternity if one is a big enough fan of a band, and waiting half a decade for new music from Deftones has certainly had fans chomping at the bit. Deftones’ 2020 album Ohms (Reprise Records, review here) took on a heavy and reflective tone that mirrored the emotional distress of the pandemic and lockdown. Now, Deftones followers can rejoice, as the band have emerged with private music (via Reprise and Warner Records), with eleven tracks of silver lining to what’s been a tense 2025. Co-produced and recorded in California and Nashville with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Korn, Alice In Chains, Mastodon), who worked on 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan (both also Reprise/Warner).Continue reading →
