The latest reviews:
Heathen Peace - Heath Dweller
Cosmic Key Creations - EP -
Heath Dweller is another single from Heathen Peace, which will be released on a flexidisk along with another instrumental song. It is also a taster song from the upcoming album. Besides, this is what Christians used to call other people who did not accept their faith in the past. The song features a guest appearance (or rather a great roar) by Henke from the Swedish band Dawn, with whom this collaboration was baked when Cosmic Key Creations released a reissue of their album. While Wouter has more of a deep hoarseness vocal, Henke has more of a yelled/screamed vocal and they complement each other nicely at the end. The song is about three and a half minutes long and it hits you with a great riff from the beginning. The break comes at about 1:41, where there is a solo, but right after it Henke and Wouter came and will knock you out of that break again. Check the song here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp33JCRM81A. If you like harder music with black metal influences and lyrics that relate to the ancient history of Europe, this is exactly for you.Bloody Mary - Zpověď
DIY - CD - 42:16
The fourth album of this Brno punk rock band is called Zpověď (Confession), it is again self-published and you will find ten songs on it. Zpověď is probably because singer and guitarist Rorýsek had an accident years ago and took a long time to get back together... you can hear all that right away in the first song. On two songs (Zpověď and Vzpomínej - Remember) Ketty makes a guest appearance as a great complementary female vocalist. Compared to previous albums, I praise the greater use of acoustic guitar and more songs in a slower tempo, for example the almost ballad Vzpomínej, which is about the emptiness after a breakup, or the very first Zpověď, which is truly brilliant thanks to the solo guitar and singalong. The CD contains some great ultra-melodic songs at random, such as the anti-war Prach a Dým (Dust and Smoke) with a great bass solo (which also has a video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dtDB0BZZZI), Švihák lázeňský (Spa Dandy which tells about Rory's convalescence in baths :)) or Pes (Dog). Other interesting things are Omerta, which is dedicated to American mafiosi, Železnej hotel (Iron Hotel), for friends who are behind the bars (again with a great guitar/bass) or the harder Co se za všim skryvá? (What is hidden behind everything?) with a booming steel-sounding bass. The booklet is nice, with lyrics, thematic photos for them and a photo of the band with greetings on the back. This is simply great, great music and lyrics that are both funny and serious and personal and it is clear that the band has matured like wine/beer/spirits. In addition, there is also a best-off LP that maps the band's work since 2013, which will be reviewed later. You'll definitely be hooked after that.
