THE RIVER SEVERN MURDERS

Added a new sticker to my laptop for Pride. Also giving free airtime and notice to Chelsie Niemcziek, Lewis County's pick for Coroner this year. They seemed very outgoing and down to Earth, and apparently maybe open to future collaboration with Yours Truly™. We'll see where the rest of the year takes us.

The buses and trains were weirdly chaotic today, so it felt right to listen to the bracing and strange rhythms of Coroner while I caught the wrong bus home.

Leading up to the release of The Harvest, Ashen Horde finds themselves pushing against the boundaries of the identity they’ve honed since forming in 2013. Conceived by Los Angeles-based Trevor Portz, the sole contributor through the band’s first two albums,1 Ashen Horde stands as a studio-only project, blurring the lines between black and death metal with progressive tendencies while telling unified stories through each album’s runtime. On third album Fallen Cathedrals, Ashen Horde enlisted the talents of powerhouse vocalist Stevie Boiser (Inferi, Equipoise) to tremendous effect. Portz and Boiser delivered another gem on follow-up Antimony, joined by drummer Robin Stone (Chestcrush) and bassist Igor Panasewicz (NightWraith). On fifth album The Harvest: newcomer Karl Chamberlain (Putrefier) replaces Boiser and leans heavily into melodic cleans, Panasewicz exits the fold, the narrative element has been replaced with a looser theme,2 and Ashen Horde begins rehearsals for their first-ever live performances later this year. Do all these changes result in an effective crop rotation, keeping The Harvest’s yield fresh and rich, or do the white-hot flames of slash-and-burn songwriting blaze too brightly, leaving only a bumper crop of ash?

Where Boiser’s vocals amplified Ashen Horde’s ferocity within the confines of black and death metal, Chamberlain’s stylings push the band’s sound into a more melodic arena. Clean vocals sparsely populated Ashen Horde’s Boiser era, but The Harvest sees them co-headline, prominently featuring Chamberlain’s versatile melodic phrasing. Prior releases’ touchstones Opeth and Enslaved continue to be relevant, yet the emphasis on cleans skews heavily towards Trivium and, to a lesser extent, Killswitch Engage.3 The shift is broader than the vocals, though, as the instrumentation diversifies as well. Frantic trems and knotty compositions previously grounded Ashen Horde’s sound in progressive black metal akin to Ihsahn, but The Harvest evolves to bring a distinctly Voivoidian essence to the guitar work (the riffing after the solo on “Backward Momentum” is classic Piggy). Performance-wise, Ashen Horde delivers first-rate moments that ground returning listeners in a familiar setting, with Portz laying down his usual impressive stringed attack and Stone supplying nuanced exhibitions throughout. In total, these changes evince a band at a crossroads, uncontent to rest on its laurels while a new outlook is forged.

The maturation of Ashen Horde’s sound amounts to more than an inflated list of references, though. For starters, the underlying genres require reevaluation. Fallen Cathedrals and Antimony classify as black metal, death metal, and progressive metal, yet The Harvest adds a healthy dose of melodic death metal and a dash of thrash. Specifically, “Remnant” evokes a slightly proggier take on 90s In Flames while “Apparition” recalls a less rabid The Black Dahlia Murder. Besides Voivod, The Harvest taps into thrash via the jazzy grooves heard on Species’ latest (“Entropy and Ecstasy”) and the whirring, dissonant refrains endemic to Coroner (“Autumnal,” “A Place in the Rot”). With so many moving pieces, it’s a wonder that Ashen Horde retains as much of their core identity as they do.

Given the dramatic musical pivot, The Harvest feels like a snapshot of a band mid-flight rather than one reaching their final destination. With Ashen Horde stacking so many elements on top of one another, I’m not sure how well they gel into a unified album. The vocals in particular give me the biggest pause—not because of Chamberlain’s performance, which is potent across harsh and clean deliveries. I’m just not convinced how well they work in concert, given the even split between them. On previous albums, cleans were sparingly used as accents, but their expanded involvement on The Harvest conjures disparate moods that flit back and forth in a way that occasionally feels jarring (“Autumnal”). The end result is a compromise that lands between the familiar and the bold.

Despite Ashen Horde exploring a new identity on The Harvest, plenty of earwatering fruit awaits a good reaping. As the band calls out in their promo materials, even though the central theme is about endings, The Harvest is a new beginning. I expect opinions will be split on the new direction, but Ashen Horde is a project that teems with ideas and new frontiers, and I’ll take that every time over a band that’s content to remake the same album over and over. Now go check out this week’s Harvest and sample its tasty Ashen Hordeuvres.

Dead in the Water
by Kevin Ahern

The county’s budget deficit
Turns out to be much worse
Our law enforcement’s worried that
They’re cutting coroners

#funny #fun #humor #humour #comedy #laugh #silly #budget #coroner #verse #poetry #poem

An unfortunate incident - #Coroner does not clarify if deceased was using #cannabis as a treatment for is #epilepsy and whether or not this was legal ( it can be prescribed for this purpose, and indeed is one of the few times when #NHS will prescribe #MedicalCannabis ) - but 90mph (145 km/h) is way too fast for an unlit rural road anyway, whether stoned or sober.

Coroner does have a point that such conditions /should/ be notified to #DVLA - but in a car-dependent region there's a lot of incentive to the driver not to do this (also if he's getting legal #cannabis and its recorded somewhere it will makes him a target for DUI checks which is another disincentive for self-reporting)

A man in Northern #England was killed after he blew up his terraced house in a #gas #explosion following a #rent increase. 3 other houses were badly damaged and 200 people evacuated.

HM #Coroner recorded a narrative verdict, as he was under influence of #drugs and #alcohol at the time and had previous #MentalHealth problems - it was not evident he deliberately intended to cause a full scale explosion, but may not have been thinking rationally, but a stray spark from the motor capacitor in a fridge freezer ignited the gas..

An Idaho advisory panel is developing a bill to require autopsies in circumstances including unexplained child deaths.

The state would help fund autopsies for coroners who get national certification, to address underfunding and bolster standards.

The province of BC's former Chief Coroner says only organized crime and some private residential treatment centres charging exorbitant amounts to families desperate to help loved ones are benefiting from BC's addiction response strategy.

Moved on to another fantastic Swiss metal band, much underrated: #Coroner.

They have their first album out in 32 years. No sign of old age, I'd say.

Check it out. It's called "Dissonance Theory:"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissonance_Theory_(album)

Looks like genuine mistake here - not even malice or incompetence but maybe made worse by #austerity (with delays in access to specialist #forensic staff)

#RTC with #fatalities and serious #injuries happened late at night on a weekend, some in #car weren't cooperating with #Police (possibly due to bad #driving) - two lads (one killed, one badly injured) were similar in appearance leading to mixup in #identification for a few days (#NHS don't store detailed #dental records of citizens, so some #forensic work would have had to wait until the start of the week when the dentists offices were open)
