Warcoe – Upon Tall Thrones Review
By Spicie Forrest
Certain decades and locations have a unique and instantly recognizable sound, like 90s hip hop, Florida death metal, 70s rock, etc. But such subgenres—at least for metal—are no longer regionally or temporally exclusive. There are American bands that play Swedeath and 2010s bands that play 80s thrash. In this postmodern era, iconic sounds of time and place are constantly worshipped, reimagined, and repurposed by new bands for a contemporary global audience. Warcoe is one such band. When I first heard the vintage doomsters, I thought them from the 70s or 80s, but they formed in Pesaro, Italy in 2021. Impressed with their retro style, I laid claim to their third full-length, Upon Tall Thrones, and spent some time reveling in the sounds of yesteryear.
From the first notes of opener “Octagon,” it’s clear Warcoe grew up on Black Sabbath and their progeny. Carlo’s bass is warm and velvety, while Stefano’s devious guitar tone compliments his Ozzy-esque vocals well. More than mere worshippers, Warcoe augments their classic sound with stoner rock and metal. “The Wanderer” and “Brown Witch” summon Monolord with mammothian riffage, while leaner, more energetic tracks like “I’ve Sat upon Tall Thrones (but I’ll Never Learn)” and “Spheres” strike a balance between Windhand, The Sword or Kadaver. Beyond doom and stoner metal, Warcoe also incorporates more classic styles. Stefano’s lead guitar never fails to impress, his hooks and solos recalling your dad’s favorite cuts from CCR or ZZ Top. As a whole, Upon Tall Thrones presents a nostalgic, vintage sound dressed in modern clothes.
While Upon Tall Thrones initially sounded great in the background, its faults appeared when I began paying closer attention. I love the timbre of Stefano’s voice, and it fits Warcoe’s style, but his delivery is fairly monotone. Stefano’s minimal range holds several good moments back from greatness (“I’ve Sat…,” “Dark into Light”). This may be a stylistic choice, but it grows tiresome around the midpoint. The production on Upon Tall Thrones is a much bigger issue. I’m not sure what happened between drummer Francesco sitting down to record and me downloading the files, but the drums skip and stutter quite a bit. It’s mostly confined to the cymbals, and it’s more noticeable on the back half, but I heard at least one instance on every track except drumless acoustic interlude “Gather in the Woods.” That track has its own problems, though, as static popping accompanies every. single. note. It’s maddening, I can’t unhear it, and it ruins an otherwise great acoustic break.
Faults aside, I still hear ambition and potential on Upon Tall Thrones. But for the tail end of “Deepest Grave,” there’s no bloat here. Warcoe is dynamic. Rarely does a riff overstay its welcome or a song miss its best endpoint. Even with two instrumental tracks smack dab in the middle of the album (“Gather in the Woods” and “Flame in Your Hand”), the energy doesn’t falter, and my attention doesn’t wander. Warcoe even manages a little successful experimentation. Blackened tremolos hover above the proceedings on “Dark into Light,” and the 16-bit, Wraith Knighted solo of “Flame in Your Hand” sends me hurtling down memory lane to play Final Fantasy IV. It’s Warcoe’s willingness to explore beyond their influences that makes me think they’re chasing something special here.
I try not to quote promo material, but in the case of Warcoe’s Upon Tall Thrones, “groovy doom from the abyss” and “vintage darkness with sharp and heavy riffs” work pretty well. Unfortunately, what excels in a casual environment falls short under closer scrutiny. My criticisms of Upon Tall Thrones aren’t apocalyptic, but they are consistent and pervasive, bringing the entire album down. This resulted in a lower score than I wanted, but I have hope for the future. Warcoe shows promise. If Stefano can expand his range and the band can both secure cleaner production and hone their unique sound, whatever succeeds Upon Tall Thrones has the potential for excellence.

Basement Announce New Record; Share “WIRED” And “Broken By Design”
Photo by Adam PowellOn May 8th, British alternative rock mainstays Basement will return with WIRED marking their first new album in eight years as well as a reunion with their original label Run For Cover Records. Across the LP’s 12 tracks fans will hear a return to the unbridled passion and creative intuition that’s always animated their best material.
Today the band — vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher — tease Wired with the release of lead singles “WIRED” and “Broken By Design” which together showcase the album’s dynamic breadth. The title-track is the most urgent they’ve ever sounded, a surefire live staple propelled by needling guitars, a slugging drumbeat, and a skyscraping hook that finds Fisher’s voice in peak form. “Broken By Design” has the opposite temperament: dusky, delicate, bass-led, but still quintessentially Basement in its immediate catchiness and moody character.
Speaking of the singles the band’s Andrew Fisher says, “‘WIRED’ is about how sometimes it feels that we are set up to feel and behave in certain ways beyond our control. That no matter how hard you try to hide it, eventually it will come out – either by choice or by force. This song was almost lost – a few of us were into it, but it sort of lost traction for a bit. Then one day it cropped back up and we put it at the forefront of our minds and it ended up being one of my favourite songs to perform and record.”
He continues, “‘Broken By Design’ is about giving something your absolute best and realising it’s destined to fail. Getting to the other side of the situation, looking back and deciding to do everything differently and feeling grateful for the opportunity to grow. We’ve all done a lot of work on getting better at talking to each other as friends and as band mates. Sometimes that’s an easy distinction – or rather, not a distinction at all. Other times, the lines are blurred and we lose track of who we are and why we do this. When I’m singing, ‘let’s go back to the start’ I mean to when we did this purely for fun. For an excuse to see each other, to travel, to be creative, to express ourselves through music. We all feel so lucky to be in a position to still get to do this and this album and this song in particular, is us trying to go back to how it should be.”
Listen to “WIRED” and “Broken By Design” and watch the videos below, with the former directed by Ashley Rommelrath and the latter by Tas Wilson.

This summer Basement will embark on a European tour followed by an appearance at London’s All Points East Festival in August. All shows are listed below with North American dates to be announced soon.
Basement were adamant that Wired had to be their most decisive artistic statement yet. A bold musical swing that people will either love or hate, but that absolutely can’t elicit a muted reaction from their fans. The group spent years writing and refining the 12 no-bloat songs, working closer and communicating better than ever while building out the tracklist as a group in various studios long before they began recording. Therefore, the songs were fully formed by the time they hit the studio with powerhouse producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Mannequin Pussy), who helped the band manifest the heightened version of Basement that they’d always dreamt of. Imperfections were celebrated, each member’s ideas were incorporated, and Congleton ensured that every moment on Wired sounds both precise and enervated.
“I never thought Basement could sound like this,” says guitarist Alex Henery. “But in my head, it’s what I’ve always wanted Basement to sound like.”
Every time Basement take a break, their band gets bigger. The quintet’s 2011 debut, I Wish You Could Stay Here, gave them a foothold in the post-hardcore groundswell of the early 2010s, but Basement had already decided to call it quits before their far more evolved follow-up, Colourmeinkindness, had even hit the shelves. Upon disbanding in late 2012 so vocalist Fisher could get his teaching degree, Basement’s underground following ballooned in their absence, and when they eventually reformed in 2014, they were welcomed back as mainstays of the scene.
Basement charged forward with two more LPs, 2016’s snappier Promise Everything and 2018’s sleeker Beside Myself, but after the latter record, which was released on a major label, Basement knew they needed to take a year off to recalibrate. “We were all left with a really weird, sour taste in our mouth after signing to a major label and having all these people control things,” Fisher admits. During their COVID-era hiatus, each member questioned whether the band should even continue as they spent time pursuing their own creative outlets. It was a period of serious existential reflection for the guys in Basement, and at one point, Henery considered stepping away from the band altogether before Fisher intervened, knowing that everyone in Basement needed the band to persevere. ”Alex saying that he was ready to cut the cord was what I needed to be like ‘Nope, we cannot do that,’” Fisher says.
After some deep conversations that reaffirmed their creative alliance, Henery and Fisher reconvened to begin writing again with no label pressures and no strings attached. Instantly, the seeds of Wired began to take shape, and soon enough, the whole band knew they had something special in the works. Coincidentally, not long after Basement began properly sculpting LP5, the Colourmeinkindness song “Covet” caught wind on TikTok and swiftly became a viral hit, earning a Gold certification in 2024 — 12 years after its release — and introducing Basement’s music to a whole new generation of internet-savvy fans.
Once again, Basement find themselves re-emerging with new music bigger and more beloved than ever before.

The only time I realize this little BSD machine only has 4GiB RAM is when I absent-mindedly try to do a
zstd --ultra -22and it fails because of lack of RAM. Even firefox hums along nicely, if you can believe it. (Not that I'm loading hellsites like facecrud or instagormless, but you get the idea).Meanwhile windows isn't particularly happy with less than 16.

BashCore philosophy:
Everything that's missing is what you don’t need.
No GUI. No bloat. No distractions.
Just a clean shell, ready to act.

Honestly, 50 tools should be more than enough.
Who really tests all 600+ tools in Kali or the 2,500+ in BlackArch?
I tried... but some BlackArch tools didn’t even run properly...In BashCore and BashCoreX, every app works.
No duplicates. No junk. Just tools that actually run.Yes, the ISOs are ~7GB,
but we’ve got Metasploit, Searchsploit, and especially SecLists (which weighs a ton) 🤷🏻♂️#BashCore #BashCoreX #Debian #Pentesting #NoBloat #BlackArch #KaliLinux #SecLists #Metasploit

A fingernail-sized chip with kilobytes of memory has been running secure cryptography in Java since 1991. Today, we need gigabytes for a "microservice" that wraps a REST call in three layers of abstraction because of "enterprise", Patterns, Libs, Frameworks, Fancy... Would a Sim Card nowadays have the Size of a small Raspberry Pi?
I continue to write Nano: https://github.com/NanoNative/nano - A lib that supports you to write in plain modern, functional java.

My homepage https://axel.beckert.ch/ is now an official member of the #250kBClub (https://250kb.club/) thanks to having only 61kB download size: https://250kb.club/axel-beckert-ch/ (What a pity that there's no "100kB Club". 😉)
That's no comparison though to @linm's homepage which is a member of the really exclusive #10kBClub (https://10kbclub.com/) with having just 7kB — and still looking good! 😎
And @SDF is btw. also a member of the 10kB Club.
