The Ordeal – Descent From Hell (2012)

According to the promotional letter ‘great debut work’ “King Of Pain”, which was published eight years ago with Mausoleum Records, I have for some reason just missed me as the band name THE ORDEAL has come across yet. Before determining whether you have missed great because now what, but the first time you come in out of the ordinary. About the print on the promo cover ‘Only China Limited Edition’. If the album actually in China and then in a different edition will appear, although not explained, but the background is likely related to a few festival appearances, the band has completed there. The band for some time for a documentary will be accompanied by a TV crew, for a relatively unknown band is not exactly commonplace. Then won the quintet for the mastering of “Descent From Hell” none other than star producer Michael Wagener, and finally proves the composition of the formation of a self-proclaimed progressive metal band to be quite unusual as the protagonists quite different musical directions come. The commonality is found here in the home, because all the musicians probably came from the Hanover area. For example, guitarist Kai Reuter was over 30 years ago by VIVA, the band with Marco Paganini and Barbara Schenker, bassist Hannes Vesper belongs to the current cast of for a long time again active Krautrocker BIRTH CONTROL, Dirk Rogon has time (or still does) at one of the three variants JANE played guitar and drummer Michael Fromm was just like the rest of the squad for Jutta Weinhold (including ZED YAGO) active. Leader and singer Oliver Oppermann still seems to be the most naïve wrote sheet, which is very surprising, since it pretty quickly proves to be most recognizable feature of THE ORDEAL.

Dave Matthews Band – Away from the World (2012)

About halfway through his band’s first new album in three years, Dave Matthews announces, “I’m too old to wanna be younger now.” It’s an apt summation of where his head’s at on this 11-song set, which reunites the Dave Matthews Band with original producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time since 1988 — not counting the aborted 2000 sessions whose songs later surfaced on 2002’s “Busted Stuff.”

After the more full-bodied and bombastic tone of 2009’s “Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King,” “Away From the World” is more restrained, moody and subtle. It has its big footprint moments, of course, and there’s an audible ambition that gives the album a crackling if slow-burning energy. The album is also decidedly inward-looking: with a couple of ruminations about the world out large (such as first single “Mercy” and “Gaucho”), “Away From the World” focuses on love, relationships and parental responsibility, making it both musically and lyrically a kind of state of the DMB union. The band is as intriguing and adventurous now as it was when the Lillywhite-produced “Under the Table and Dreaming” came out 18 years ago.

2Ugly2Die – Tiefenrausch 2012

NOW!GERMANY …

Dig deep into the loo certainly have no one to whom the band met 2Ugly2Die first time – in the toilet cover art or not. For the trio’s music is far from grottig or shit, but can be heard in the general. The Berlin go though. In the self-imposed “rapture of the deep”, which seems to mean the bottom line is however that one of the German Rock missed a damn heavy bias and thus the direction of heavy rock and stoner-squint
The ten tracks collected here almost rolling over the listener away, cover of rolling over slowly threatening to tough all typical nuances. The “rapture of the deep” turns out to be so as extremely heavy rock interpretation of dirty Gröhlgesang and metal guitar riffs.

Nightosaur – Spaceaxers (2012)

Spaceaxers is the second album from Nightosaur, and is heavier, weirder, and even more epic than the first. Hear tales of a world clinging to the edge of madness, with dynamite sludge and dual-guitar hooks big enough to hang a side of T-Rex.

Spaceaxers is the second full length album from Minneapolis metal band Nightosaur. Featuring seven all new songs, this release is heavier, weirder, and even more epic than 2011’s debut, Black Blood of the Earth. With duelling lead guitars and an explosive rhythm section, Nightosaur draws inspiration from the prog-blues metal of early Judas Priest and Black Sabbath, the taut ferocity of Dio and Iron Maiden, and the brutal force of today’s sludgiest stoners. Spaceaxers expands on these roots and spins epic tales of a world on the edge of madness, with hooks big enough to hang a side of T-Rex. Recorded and mixed in four days in a South Minneapolis duplex, Spaceaxers manages to capture the intensity of Nightosaur’s relentless live show. Within are epic stories of doomed polar explorers, lost love avenged, and salvation by fire from the stars. The album’s centerpiece “There May Be Dragons” is a thunderous rallying cry to embrace the monsters within us all, and to join Nightosaur in their conquest of all that is heavy.
