Band Of The Week: The Last Felony

I'll admit I've been awful about weekly articles in the past, I just get wrapped up in other things and I have a problem keeping up. But alas, I shall give it a try again. I kind of tried this before although I limited myself to bandcamp previously. Now I'm just going to try and find bands I feel deserve more attention and give them a little bit of a spotlight on the site here.

Jungle Rot Release Bass Demo For 'Pronounced Dead'!

It's pretty common knowledge that the bassist of any band is typically the most underappreciated member, unless he is really stand out the bass player never gets love. So it's nice to see a band do a demo focused solely on the bass player. Jungle Rot have done that with their song 'Pronounced Dead'. Bassist James Genenz gives us a play through, and while the video is geared at people wanting to learn how to play the song, it's a good song to just listen to if anything. I do like how consistent Victory has been with doing these play through videos. It's nice to see a band share how they play their songs.

Chosen Post Video For 'Instinct'!

Irish metal band Chosen have posted a live in the studio video for the song 'Instinct' off their debut album Resolution. This song is pretty awesome. I got the chance to review the album over at Emurg, and that should be posted int he coming days.

Heaven Shall Burn Post A Video For 'Hunters Will Be Hunted'!

German metalcore/melodeath band Heaven Shall Burn returned this year with their new album Veto, and today they posted a music video for the song 'Hunters Will Be Hunted'. The song is pretty solid, I have yet to really give the new album a good listen, but I'm intrigued now. The music video is pretty interesting, not as violent as I was expecting it to be, but really well shot.

The Unconscious Mind - Where Philosophers Fall

The Unconscious Mind is a project from the guitarist Simon Cléroux of technical death metal band Derelict, who made my top albums list last year with their second full length Perpetuation. The Unconscious Mind differs from Derelict in a lot of ways, although when you’re looking for it you can see similarities in the playing style in the two bands. Simon is an incredibly talented player, and the people he teamed up with on this album are of equal measure on their respective instruments.

Within The Ruins - Elite

I remember entirely forgetting that Within The Ruins had an album coming out, regardless of the fact that I made a few posts about it. The release date snuck up on me and while I did listen to the album a ton that first week, I never got around to writing a review about it. I’m not entirely sure why, but maybe I can apply the better late than never rule to this.

New Black Dahlia Murder Song!

The Black Dahlia Murder have released both the album art and a single from their upcoming album Everblack. This track, titled 'Into The Everblack', isn't mind blowingly new for the bands style, but it's got a cool symphonic build up to quite an awesome solo. I hopped onto the BDM train a bit late with Ritual being the first album of theirs that really caught my attention. If this track is any indication, Everblack should be a favorite album of mine this year. Unfortuantely we have to wait until June 11th for it to release. I imagine we'll get another single before that time comes.
