CDs:
3108 – 3108 CD/LP+MP3 (Trouble In Mind)
Hailing from London, England, Tyler Zypreska has been building up an impressive backlog of tunes that hit all the sweet spots from O.M.D. to La Dusseldorf, to Trio and the pining ennui of the teenage angst-anthems littering your Pretty In Pink and Breakfast Club soundtracks. Although his influences may lie in the discarded neon bones of the ‘80s and ‘90s there’s an infectious spark of melodic tune-smithing permeating the album’s ten tunes. Limited quantities also available on mixed color vinyl.
Aborted – Necrotic Manifesto CD (Century Media)
Aborted steadfastly honor a legacy of brutal death metal and grind core while progressing toward something slightly more disturbing and foul.
Adestria – Gilded Hearts CD (Razor & Tied)
Gilded Hearts manages to capture the intensity of Adestria’s live show with technical guitar lines, pulsing drums and thunderous breakdowns.
Damon Albarn – Everyday Robots CD/2xLP (WB)
Everyday Robots, the first fully-realized Damon Albarn solo album, features twelve songs that invite the listener into Albarn s world for a genuine “one-to-one.” They are the most soul-searching and autobiographical since his musical journey began. Albarn is first to admit he’s a restless soul when it comes to music. What’s certain is that all of the projects of his career thus far – from Blur to Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Mali Music, Monkey: Journey To The West or Dr Dee – help form this singular artist’s musical DNA. F featuring appearances by Brian Eno and Bat For Lashes.
Annihilator – Feast 2xCD+DVD (UDR)
Contains the new album Feast in a CD-sized book with extra pages in the booklet, the 15-song bonus CD Re-Kill with newly recorded Annihilator classics, plus a never-seen-before live DVD filmed at last year’s Wacken Open Air festival.
Anti-Mortem – New Southern CD (Nuclear Blast America)
Debut album by the Oklahoma natives and saviors of Southern-infused hard rock.
Archspire – Lucid Collective CD/LP (Season Of Mist)
New album from the technical death metal force.
