Quick and cursory reviews and mentions of some recently released albums and songs I wanted to talk about before the weekend was out. Have a nice day! Enjoy! WATCH THE REVIEW
With some classic heavy metal riffage, Darkthrone comes out with their most old school album yet, which I’m sure will be a thrill to some metal fans–even if the cartoony vocals seem to poke fun at heavy metal stereotypes a bit. WATCH THE REVIEW
I’m not sure if you’ll see a stranger music video than this in the month of March. Unknown Mortal Orchestra has dropped some visuals for the track “Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark),” which is a cut off the band’s latest record, II. The video takes no

Modern day psych and stoner rock heavyweights Kylesa have a new album on the way titled Ultraviolet coming in May, and the band saw fit to drop a track from it last week. “Unspoken” may not be the heaviest songs in this style, but the track’s burning guitar solos
Kind of like what Radiohead did with “Lotus Flower,” Thom Yorke and his Atoms For Peace project have put out a new music video loaded with odd choreography that’s equally perplexing and alluring. Enjoy! Check out my review of Atoms’ Amok right here:
