The Youth of Today

Mudkiss welcomes an injection of youthful talent into their weird and wonderful musical world.  Over the last week, a quartet of new contributors have sat hunched in front of laptops, furiously typing away (nothing new there I hear you cry) although in this case, with creative purpose.

On the album front, we find Callum, Josh and Lydia waxing lyrical on new releases and covering Haigh Hall Festival, Daniel, accompanied by Haydn with some sterling images.

The old adage, kids should be seen and not heard, was never further from the truth.

Mudkiss Fanzine, truly is down with the kidz and us old guard........... might just need to watch our backs.

Black Metal at it's best

Djevel | Oslo, NO | Metal / Black Metal | Music, Lyrics, Songs, and Videos | ReverbNation

The blackest of black metal with the debut album from Norwegian supergroup Djevel.

Featuring :

T.Ciekals on guitars, clean vocals and chats (X-Ljå).
E.Hjelvik (Kvelertak) on demonic vocal.
Mannevond (Urgehal/Koldbrann) bass. 
Session Drums by Hjorth . 






Djevel take you into the darkest of worlds, which certainly isn't for the faint of heart.

Spires

There's perhaps a tendency within the world of metal to look towards distant shores and ignore what's happening in your own back yard.  After discovering the incredible Talanas a couple of months ago, through a joint tour with the London outfit, I happen across Manchester's own Spires.  More progressive metal of the highest order. Brilliantly  technical, although still retaining impressive melodic aspects.

Although a relatively recent convert to extreme metal, I'm quickly realising this is a genre with much more to offer than most.

Kurran and the Wolfnotes

Free download time again music pals and what an outstanding track this is from Kurran and the Wolfnotes.

Brilliantly dark and foreboding opening and even though the track takes a  more uplifting musical twist with gorgeous harmonies,sinister elements are still apparent, particularly through the lyrical content.

In my mind, a perfect piece of shadowy melodic pop.

If you haven't picked up on Tom Williams and The Boat yet, it really is about time you did. Great place to start, a free download of the "See My Evil" EP

Come on people, what are you waiting for.

The Subways

The Subways

Brand new material available as a free download from The Subways. Grab "It's a Party" now prior to the release of upcoming album "Money and Celebrity"

Saw the band in Manchester a few years back and experienced the biggest mosh pit I'd ever come across and lead singer Billy's comments would suggest that's likely to continue.

"I can remember writing 'It's A Party' with a huge hunger to get up on stage and get everyone going absolutely nuts"

Team Love

Team Love Records are an absolute godsend to all fans of music. I'm sure many of you are already aware of the site, but for those, like me, who haven't come across this before, Conor Oberst and his manager Nate had a vision to offer free music, totally legally, without the requirement of illegal downloading etc.

Team Love offer music they enjoy to all through their MP3 library at the link below.  Just head over, sign up and browse at your leisure.  What thoroughly decent chaps and a big thanks to the all the artists involved.
