cave in - jupiter

Hey kids! It's been a while since i posted anything for you, so here's an album by the late, great Cave In.

Early in their career, the band played crushing hardcore with crunchy guitars and occasional rocking melodies. Somewhere along the way, they decided to drop the hardcore thing and make spaced out rock with heavy guitars and some metal undercurrents.

Jupiter is probably my favorite of their un-hardcore days, this release containing demo versions of "Stained Silver" and "Rubber and Glue" (titled "Bigger Riff" here) from the follow-up album Antenna. These versions are better than the ones that made it to Antenna, in my opinion.

ANYWAYS, just check it out. It's a solid album from a solid band.

Deer Tick

artist: deer tick
album: war elephant
genre: rock, blues rock, grunge

with a strong combination of folk, blues, and even some grunge, deer tick can tell a crawling tale and turn it into a howling cry for help flawlessly. distorted twang, slightly off and jankey vocals everything comes together on this album.

Voxtrot - Raised By Wolves

artist: Voxtrot
album: Raised By Wolves EP
genre: alt/indie rock
year: 2005
country: usa

you know its not often enough that i go through all the music on my over cluttered hard drive and give what was once forgotten an honest listen. and, after a few spins, i think its time to share. lyrical stylings that are reminiscent of early belle & sebastion and jangly 60's guitar pop, with some modern day "get up and move" beats. this is probably the only way i'm able to describe voxtrot, a band that people first took notice of around '06 when it seemed that every other week another band or song about wolves would be the latest thing to talk about. raised by wolves is a five song ep that gives a pretty good insight of things to come from the band early on. while i can't say that the band has entirly lived up to everything it built up from this ep (i wanted a bit more from their first lp), they will always have a place in my heart and on my hard drive.
this isn't to say that what they have done since is a complete letdown. quite the opposite. i'm just waiting for the full album that really shows off the band's full potential.

Tiamat - A Deeper Kind of Slumber

Band: Tiamat
Album: A Deeper Kind of Slumber
Genre: Gothic Metal/Atmospheric Rock
Country of Origin: Sweden
Year: 1997

Track Listing:

1. Cold Seed
2. Teonanacatl
3. Trillion Zillion Centipedes
4. The Desolate One
5. Atlantis As A Lover
6. Alteration X 10
7. Four Leary Biscuits
8. Only In My Tears It Lasts
9. The Whores Of Babylon
10. Kite
11. Phantasma De Luxe
12. Mount Marilyn
13. A Deeper Kind Of Slumber

My second favorite Tiamat album after it's predecessor, Wildhoney, and another favorite album of mine, A Deeper Kind of Slumber is an entirely different step, yet a logical continuation from Wildhoney. The album is incredibly varied yet maintains an all around cohesive set of emotions that draws it together perfectly. It bounces between Metal and more Rockish songs like catchy opener "Cold Seed". The music is overall soothing and thoughtful, with Johan Edlunds vocals (now totally void of growls) maintaining a feeling of both being detatched yet emotional. The soothing sound of lapping waves and gorgeous synths in "Atlantis As A Lover", exploration of drug addiction "Alteration X 10", the psychadelic "Four Leary Biscuits", the gorgeous instrumental "Kite" and the chanting of "The Whores Of Babylon" are examples of what make this album so creative and special. It's not something that can be explained, but has to be experienced.

He is Legend - I Am Hollywood

band: he is legend
album: i am hollywood
genre: rock, metal
country: us
year: 2004

I Am Hollywood is the first full length release from rock/metal/post-hardcore band He is Legend. It's a really really fun, hard-rocking record that doesn't take itself too seriously (check out the video for "the Seduction" for proof) and deserves to be enjoyed by more of us than just Nick and I.
