CLASSIC ALBUMS REVISITED: Evanescence’s Debut Album “Fallen” was Released 20 Years Ago


 

Twenty years ago today (3/4/2003), Evanescence came on the scene with their debut album Fallen (Wind-Up Records) with a bonafide smash success out of the gate.

However, it was the rest of the album that coalesced a style that the group ended up forging into a lasting sound they continue to ply to this day. Continue reading

EP REVIEW: Cosmic Ninja – Dissident Transmission


 

Cosmic Ninja has a new EP coming out called Dissident Transmission (Self-Released). Its first track, ‘By Design’ is a wonderful disco-inspired danceable tome. It’s a song ABBA could have done either in the 1970s or now. My favourite lyric is, “…wake up, enough’s enough! kill your masters…” The lyrics of ‘By Design’ and the rest of Dissident Transmission are a strong stand against the corruption of government entities. Dissident Transmission is a wake-up call to those who are angry about how the government is deliberately misleading the citizenry. The lyrics are heavy and in-your-face but the music itself is pop punkish with a new wave feel. Continue reading
