The Colour Of Music


Band: Soror Dolorosa
Album: Blind Scenes
Year: 2011
Genre: New Wave/Gothic Rock
Country: France
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sorordolorosa

Tracklisting:

1. Crystal Lane
2. Autumn Wounds
3. Damaged Dreamer
4. Low End
5. Soror Dolorosa
6. Scars Of Crusade
7. In A Glance
8. Broken Wings

In the bands own words:

"The album is quite cold, with misty blue moods. 'Blind Scenes' would rather be perceived as scenes unseen, that is to say, out of time and out of the real world. As a state of grace overshadowed by the inevitability of everyday life. The lyrics are heartfelt and talk about regrets, coldness, alcohol abuse, as well as forfeiture, but mostly nostalgia, hence the blue color of the music."

No Regrets

Full Boar Ahead



Band: XII Boar
Album: Split Tongue, Cloven Hoof
Year: 2012
Genre: Sludge/Stoner Metal
Country: England
Bandcamp: Split-tongue-cloven-hoof
Tracklisting:

1. Smokin' Bones
2. Hellspeed Viper
3. Slamhound
4. Triclops

"Speeding at you like an out of control train, XII Boar blast their way into your skull with ear-splitting leads, sonic riffs, fuck off vocals and a sweet southern groove. Combining Motorhead’s swagger, Sabbath’s downtrodden doom, and the swinging crunch of C.O.C, these Hampshire lads will tie you down and fuck shit up."


Open Up and Say Ahhhh

So many ideas, so much devastating sheer power and so primitive.
