  27. Season of Melancholy – In Sleep Review By Kenstrosity

    I’m on a romantic music kick lately, and who can really say why. It’s always been a flavor that I crave deeply in the music I frequent, but so often that craving is left unsatisfied or only partially sated. But Ukrainian goth rock/post punk quintet Season of Melancholy aren’t about to let me go before giving me everything I want, right? Bleeding hearts, sultry melodies, stories of heartbreak and of yearning, and dark atmospheres supported by bouncy tunes have been a part of their sound since inception over a decade ago. With one LP under their belt so far, follow-up In Sleep promises even sharper hooks, bigger choruses, and crunchier tones. Can they make me swoon?

    After a slew of singles to foreshadow the release of In Sleep, a clear focus on accessibility and immediacy sharpens. Bridging the gaps between Mana-era Unto Others, AFI, Dead or Alive, and HIM, Season of Melancholy balance downtuned guitars with bright synths, danceable beats and a sultry baritone that stirs the loins. These are songs that could easily break into the charts but still maintain a dark character, and strategically placed metallic heft helps attract fans of harder music. A few instances of native Ukrainian make an appearance, though I would have loved to hear more as it meshes beautifully with this sound. On the production front, In Sleep is modernβ€”perhaps too polishedβ€”and quite loud. That said, it boasts a balanced, bassy mix and isn’t so cluttered with instrumentation that its paltry dynamic range causes too much stress on my ears.

    At a tight 43 minutes, In Sleep gets in and gets out, but not without leaving you breathing heavy from dancing all night long first. High-energy romps β€œInmate,” β€œKeep the Night,” β€œΠ’.И.Π§.И.Π―.,” β€œWay Out,” and β€œDown in Rage” bring metallic tones to the dancefloor, fortified by choruses so sticky in the moment that they might pull your shoes right off your feet. Though this material isn’t chock full of shreddy solos or boisterous riffs, pumping chugs and a clanky bass tone still move mountains as they groove and shove their way in between that buttery smooth baritone. Fun synthy incidentals embellish songs like β€œFarewell Song,” β€œGhost,” and β€œBorn in Lies” to offset their more mid-paced amble and create points of interest in spaces that would otherwise feel sparse and unfinished. And, while some of these songs are already a few years old, In Sleep is remarkably cohesive without feeling too repetitive.

    That said, there is a strange sense of monotony that creeps in after multiple spins. Avoiding the dreaded pit of self-plagiarism by a thin hair, Season of Melancholy’s songwriting carries a consistent ABABCB structure that almost never shifts or shuffles. There’s a lot a band can do even inside that restricted chain to bring high heat to the affair, and any kind of exploration outside of it brings out more flavor, novelty, and excitementβ€”both things that In Sleep lacks to varying degrees. As such, this record slots comfortably alongside releases from the aforementioned comparison points, but takes the safest route to get there. Consequently, most of the material presented here outside of a few of its best moments aren’t going to make it to long-term rotation.

    Still, In Sleep offers good, clean fun to audiences looking for something easily digestible and universally approachable. It’s heavy and chunky enough to earn the favor of metalheads unbothered by accessibility or poppy sensibility, too. However, it’s safe, derivative of many of its peers/influences, and lacks staying power. Were it blessed with more adventurous structures or bolstered by a wide array of hooky riffs or other substantial instrumental spotlights, In Sleep would’ve earned a much higher score. As it is, it’s worth a listen or two and its best songs feel right at home on playlist duty. Whether it goes farther than that depends on the listener, and mileage may vary.

  28. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Siouxsie and the Banshees "The Killing Jar" – 1988

    A dark and hypnotic track from Peepshow. The song balances an almost danceable pulse with an unsettling atmosphere, reflecting the band's ability to make darkness feel strangely seductive...

  29. Hey #DJ's! Where do you get music from? Do you just buy singles or go for the full album?

    What hardware do you use?

    I plan on going full out with an older #rackmount compressor and EQ. Totally overboard with a moderately expensive broadcast mic. The other usecase is livestreaming the events, plus broadcasting #InternetRadio. Ideally with a XMPP chatroom and DJs beside myself talking between songs like on good FM.

    I need to build up a solid offline collection so I can start spinning in #GothClubs.

  32. The Bleak Picture – Shades of Life Review

    By Maddog

    It’s been a draining year. Lacking the mental energy for new music, I’ve subsisted on a diet of ISIS and Fvneral Fvkk. Clouded by the doomy stylings of the latter, I decided to make my return to reviewing with dismal death-doom. Despite releasing their debut just last year, Finland’s The Bleak Picture is a project of members of Autumnfall. That said, these two bands sound worlds apart, as their names betray. Abandoning the blackened scenery of Autumnfall, The Bleak Picture paints a bleak picture with melodic death-doom that reeks of Finland. Channeling the icons of sadboi history, Shades of Life is a flawed but worthwhile slab of morose doom.

    You won’t find much innovation here, but The Bleak Picture has learned from the best. Blending harsh vocals and spoken word, doomy plains and deathy mountain ranges, Shades of Life consists of familiar elements. The opener β€œPlagued by Sorrow” offers the listener zero seconds of respite before launching into a persistent doom riff. Melodic guitar leads steer the album along, stitching the doomy cuts together in a manner that recalls Enshine (β€œWithout the I”). Rather than slowing to a standstill, The Bleak Picture uses Insomnium riffs to push the album along without diluting its sorrow. The guitars (handled by Jussi HΓ€nninen, along with the other instruments) are the core of Shades of Life, but Tero Ruohonen’s vocals broaden its horizons. While he largely dwells in standard harsh territory, Ruohonen’s cleans tinge the album with gothic influences, like the distorted spoken word of β€œAbsolution.” Indeed, sections like the straightforward rock of β€œWithout the I” recall Paradise Lost. However, lest this lengthy description fool you, Shades of Life is largely standard fare.

    It feels criminal to listen to Shades of Life on a 90-degree summer day. The Bleak Picture conveys emotion through the sheer enormity of their riffs, burying the listener like an avalanche (β€œAbsolution”). Elsewhere, Shades of Life deftly intersperses these assaults with tranquility, like the transition from an explosive chorus to minimalist bass-led instrumentals on β€œPlagued by Sorrow.” These strengths reach their apex on the 11-minute spectacle β€œSilent Exit.” Evoking Swallow the Sun’s Plague of Butterflies, the track progresses through a nightmarish acoustic melody, forceful doom riffs, and girthy bass lines. Cult of Luna-style drumming leads the song into a climactic ending that raises the bar even further. Across these highlights, The Bleak Picture’s sophomore release boasts a mature approach to songwriting.

    Shades of Life still struggles to transcend its melodic death-doom formula. The album’s biggest weakness is its monotony. In their quest for chunky riffs, The Bleak Picture tends to overuse ideas, emulating an uninspired version of Rapture (β€œCode of Ethics”). Even the album’s best pieces sometimes fizzle out, like the abrupt ending of the otherwise-powerful β€œAbsolution.” Similarly, while the penultimate track β€œSilent Exit” showcases the best of Shades of Life, the closer β€œCity of Ghosts” settles into a low-energy doom routine that never picks up steam. Despite its apparent variety of influences, The Bleak Picture’s by-the-book approach to death-doom doesn’t always keep my interest.

    An album like Shades of Life is difficult to dissect; its success hinges on the heart, not the brain. The Bleak Picture is on the right path, and tracks like β€œSilent Exit” hit hard with their bulky riffwork and creative variety. But as a whole, Shades of Life isn’t the gut punch I’d hoped for. It doesn’t match the raw power of Paradise Lost, the otherworldly sadness of Enshine, or the narrative prowess of Insomnium. Still, I have no regrets. There are strong whiffs of talent here, and with its mature and tempered approach to songwriting, Shades of Life is an easy, rewarding listen. It’s worth a shot for anyone who prefers moping over sunlight.

  33. I listened to "The End" by The Doors today. And since I used a line from Jim Morrison, I noticed that KALT's "The Blood EP" isn't available on Bandcamp or YouTube. That hasn't been the case for many years! I've now fixed that. And I'll be uploading the tracks to YouTube in the next few days!

    The tracks are free, by the way.
