NEW MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: GENGHIS TRON- I AM ALL

The very awesome and genre smashing, Genghis Tron, has returned with an upcoming new album , Signal Fire, and first single, “I Am All.” The bands previous album, 2021’s, Dream Weapon, was beyond a welcome back album. In fact it’s one of those albums that the more the years go by, certain aspects of that record have come true.

This new album though, shifts from the apocalyptic dreams of the previous album, and into a very unhinged and volatile new world. Like the last one with the lyrical themes becoming reality, Signal Fire delivers an urgency that is very direct and precise. “I Am All” is not just the first single but first track on the album. This song is heavy and punishing as well as quite the soundtrack to the end times.

Signal Fire arrives June 12 via Relapse Records! I’m very impatiently awaiting this release!

NEW RELEASE: MONOLORD- YOU BASTARD

Sweden always seems to have something good in their water when it comes to musicians. It’s really quite stunning how so many great bands can come from one region or area. Formed in Gothenberg, Sweden in 2013, Monolord have become one of stoner/doom metal’s best imports. Monolord has released five full length studio albums since their inception with their sixth and first in five years, Neverending, to be released on June 12 via Relapse Records. The new album as produced and recorded by legendary engineer, Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down). The first single “You Bastard” is a righteous slab of rifftastic, fuzzy, and crushing exploration into doom and psychedelia. The recording of this song feels so alive as well. It’s a treat to hear a record like this in these days. Personally, I am very much looking forward to what Neverending has to offer as I believe this album is going to reach new heights for Monolord. Be sure to crank the volume on this song!!

ALBUM RANK UPDATED: CONVERGE

When you have such a storied career like Converge it gets harder and harder to put certain things like their albums into a ranking order. Since the release of their tenth album, Love Is Not Enough, and now eleventh, Hum Of Hurt, I have been on quite the Converge listening kick. After listening through their catalog and spending a good amount of time with their new album, I do believe I have a very definitive ranking of Converge’s ten studio albums. While not every album can be the best, each record surely leaves a lasting mark on their history as well as influence and inspiration of so many other bands.
