Dew-Scented "Inwards"
Death Metal with a good grain of Thrash Metal in it. Generally a very straightforward track, however with nice details especially in the drum section.
The vocals are exquisitely arranged and sound very German if I may say so. Not the accent but the voice itself. Reminds me of Morgoth and Disbelief, two other great German bands.

If you're in the market for a veritable thrash hit for the weekend look no further. Try Havok's D. O. A. from the album Time is Up.
The second part of this banger is a nod to the legendary Demolition Hammer and really does the job well.

🎵 Hey everyone! I’m Troy Torres — a musician, indie producer, composer, and a bit of a sound engineer from the Philippines. I’m visually impaired, but that never stops me from exploring music in every way I can. 🎧

Mastodon here lets me post longer messages, which means I can finally share more music reviews, DAW experiments, production ideas, and even the occasional bloops and bleeps when I get frustrated while making music. This new account is my official music hub, where I can dive deeper into my creative process and share everything I’m working on.

Can't stop listening to #MusicalTransients by #Psynwav. Even ended up writing about WHY it's so special: https://danq.me/sophie-reviews-musical-transients
But rather than read my & sophie's reviews and spoil the surprise for yourself (if you haven't heard it already), why not go listen to the whole thing; I'd suggest the YouTube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAW84RRNw84

"Boone’s music is an invasive species in the garden of good taste"
Damn, that's a cold line.
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/benson-boone-american-heart/
I feel like #Pitchfork has had a bit more edge in their reviews lately, which is kind of refreshing -- although this album seems like an easy punching bag, tbh.

Happy #Eurovision month!
That means you have just enough time to subject yourself to the "Shite or Alright" reviews before semi final 1 comes your way. All info you need to download the shows or find us on your podcast place of choice is on the blog x #podcast #musicreviews https://escarmchair.blogspot.com/2025/04/soa-2025.html -
I found a free/open-source alternative to rateyourmusic/musicboard called critiquebrainz. It is run by musicbrainz. But sadly the community is very small. It barely gets one review a day.

Deep Sea Diver’s wickedly badass new album!
Source: thisisdeepseadiver.comI heard Deep Sea Diver‘s new 2025 album release entitled Billboard Heart for the first time the other night and was blown away by how good it is. The lyrics are amazing, the guitar riffs are absolutely shredded by Jessica Dobson and her vocals demand your undivided attention. Meanwhile, Peter Mansen’s accompanying drums and Elliot Jackson’s synths weave and coalesce the rocking vibes into what will arguably be a strong contender for my album of the year!
Source: thisisdeepseadiver.comThere is not a single bad song on this album, but if I were to have to pick my favorites, these would be them after several listens. The first two tracks below are battling for ultimate supremacy.
“Tiny Threads” – a very moving track with absolutely amazing lyrics:
“We’re always held together by tiny little threads
And I think I love you the most when you′re unraveling” – Deep Sea Diverhttps://youtu.be/H4ybw3b5pqQ?si=SNrhZ9bOup_d065a
“Let Me Go” – a fabulous duet with Madison Cunningham
https://youtu.be/MmQq7TUEhos?si=h3-PqiCXlq_W96cx
“What Do I Know?” – so much fun with amazing guitars
https://youtu.be/hokGuFIw1PQ?si=Cem9jYihGWD_TX57
“Shovel”
“Billboard Heart”
“Loose Change”
“See In The Dark”
I hope you will enjoy this album as much as I do. And if you get a chance, check out Deep Sea Diver live at one of their upcoming shows. Peace!

The other day someone posted an article about this documentary: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21443008/
I have never lived in San Francisco, but Aquarius Records seems like the kind of indie record store we all wish was in our neighborhood. But what really caught my eye was that the store put out a "New Arrivals" list that was "the length of a college essay."
So, I set out to find an example and found one on Internet Archive through the WayBack Machine. Basically it is a music review blog by a knowledgeable and opinionated music sherpa. I downloaded the list and edited it slightly (basically adding a current website for each album discussed) and posting in a more accessible form.
So, without further ado here is New Arrivals 119 from August 2001.
Let me know if I should keep going!
