Live review: KYLESA, CTTS & KEN MODE

With a poster with names like KYLESA, CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE and KEN MODE it was expected a good turnout, and it certainly was. But it was not acceptable only a few people were there at the opening watching and enjoying best band out those three names: KEN MODE.

Yes: they performed their set of kicks and it was simply awesome. Take TAD and MELVINS all together, add a little bit of metal (I said "little bit") somewhere and you will have a picture.

Some of the few they were at the beginning expected nothing about them, mostly due to ignorance of their existence (this is not an insult taking into account those million bands you can find everyday surfing on The Net), but since yesterday, they won't forget KEN MODE. That was a fact as people's opinion sounded out around by us when instruments got in silence.

You could watch attitude, power, heavy sounds and a bunch of good songs didn't disappointed us who mainly went to see'em.

From our point of view, they were the best on stage yesterday night because the other two bands got their own cancers. Namely: CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE and their technical/ experimental resources indigestion and KYLESA and their own way to understand exploration into other musical genres.

CTTS made it good. They transmitted their energy but soon their twisted melodies misleaded the listener out of that enjoyment. And that's another fact that is widely on the table subject to debate: why the fffffff are many bands twisting to the bone their melodies just for the sake of it? Is this only to show how good they can handle their axes? In that case, unfortunately they will be listened only for a while... bye bye, musical career. Just to end CTTS words: they have to realise people return to the rhythm of the song when the "insistent/ monotonous/ repetitive/ tiresome/ whatever" riffs come back out of the loudspeakers... cannot be blind for that.

KYLESA's case is somewhat different. When an underground band reaches certain grade of popularity they enter into a room of decissions that sometimes are senseless. I can understand after the years, musicians grow up to different levels affecting their inspiration... but it's clear when you have a popularity due to your own way to feel music it becomes a suicide to change it. That's why side bands are for!!!! Jokes appart, above mentioned behaviours are not bad in essence but it's gotta be a main warning for any band to balance their new steps.

KYLESA's new stuff is not bad at all but it cannot be compared to their early material, which they save for their last songs of the live set.

We will talk again about KEN MODE soon, here in NOIZELAND.

So better watch this space, as always.

MORGANA vs MORGANA + TAO TE KIN + TINNITIA Live

Sorry guys that I missed TINNITIA (yeah! I was late... but it is not easy for me to be on time everywhere!!) but they always deliver their stuff in the best way so next time I will corroborate what I was told: they kicked ass!!!

Following TINNITIA, TAO TE KIN took up the stage... and everything flowed easy as they are more than happy with their release of "El Pájaro Que Da Cuerda Al Mundo" (Lengua Armada. REF: LA036 / Nooirax Producciones): a beautiful CD including a 12 page booklet which will trap you since the intro until the last second of their tenth track. Their set is furious and relaxing at the same time. That is the feeling you catch when TAO TE KIN distil their progressive way to understand metal.

It could be obvious to mention TOOL as the imminent reference but it shouldn't be understood as a clone of them: it is better to understand TOOL opened a big two folded door inviting others to enter that world of sounds... how many new rooms can be filled when going beyond that door? TAO TE KIN reserved their own one... and I believe they will be there for long releasing more good stuff like what they're been doing all of these years.

Their live is filled will color (sometimes overcolored) by the personal performance of their frontman Emilio which does not stop for a while: watching molecules in the air, giving shape to oxygen figures, fighting with the flow of air in front of him, jumping... that's a frontman. Meanwhile, the band do their job: punish your ears with the chosen tunes of their past and present history.

It was short: that's the problem when you play in a medium hall which is surrounded by homes and there is a restriction of not to pass 12:00 PM playing loud... and of course it gets shorter when you're enjoying a live set!!!

TAO TE KIN left the stage to allow MORGANA vs MORGANA start their presentation of their brand new record "SOL INVICTO" here in Madrid. In my opinion, there couldn't be other band to support them like TAO TE KIN as they evolve very similar status into the underground... Their difference (they're a five piece too) could be more in the attitude of their singer Carlos which doesn't explore acting in the same way as Emilio. Let's say excess of the other could help this last one...

Another short set (law requirements command!!) was shown, intense, closed with the encore peforming one of their banner songs "NEBULA".

Both records and can be purchased thru following sites:

TAO TE KIN: "EL PAJARO QUE DA CUERDA AL MUNDO"

Moloken - 2008 - We All Face The Dark Alone

I have to say this band instantly caught my attention. Is one of those bands who easily flows into yourself as a whole. Art, music, name, monicker, musicians... everything fits perfectly into this darkness created by this new swedish band in the same way that an evil absence of light matches with fear.

"We All Face The Dark Alone" could sneak into black metal stuff if you only see the cover art. Error. That would be the only link with that style... apart from the voice, which also can be included on a far side on that genre. Musically talking I won't label them as it wouldn't be fair. If a term has to be used for them is experimental, understanding that into extreme metal scene. You'll soon understand why when you start to listen to this EP.

It consists of a 15 minutes track split into three titles, apparently not linked if you read them: "Lost Saviour", "Dual Core Friction" and "Paranoia". Of course, they all form part of the same whole.

I'd say these songs go from dark and slow tempoes to sudden epic riffs which automatically catches you into a pursuit horror film scene happening on their native home, among trees and over the snow... at dusk. The beast is near and you're tired... get the picture?

This work is not one of those you'll put to hear something while you arrive to somewhere... though could be useful to have it in the background. This EP is better to sit down, relax and listen to it a couple times on your room... the bummer is this kinda digipack doesn't come with a booklet with pictures and lyrics to support the story the band wants to transmit. But sometimes is better to leave up to your imagination the picture the music wants to give.

I particularly enjoy the amazing passage starting on minute 8 (almost sharp) which adds some progressive elements after the initial wild beginning... Wow!!!

This is very recommendable to all of those freaks into sludge, art-core, extreme stuff.

MOLOKEN folks: think about start to work on new material!!!

NoizeLand freaks: as always, support the band buying their records (directly or to an approved source) and their merch.

MERCH

FiftyWattHead - 2008 - FogCutter

ASSKICKING!!! I'd say this is brutal and heavy!!!! None of the elements you'll first check when you hold the CD in your hands after spinning their FOGCUTTER CD will let you guess what is about to explode... well, maybe monicker gives you an idea... but in any way what you'll suffer meanwhile this amazing piece of music elapses...

The album is expected to be released by the 16th of this month and you better be smart if you don't wanna miss a copy of that!!!

WHITEOUT starts this album and let me tell you I like this song pretty much: it is a perfect warning to you... in the sense of "enter at your own risk"... blow your head.

Second tune FOGCUTTER, which titles the album is perfect to draw together any sense of the album into one song. Even I'd define some passages as epic-sludge...Soon you realise this album becomes one of your worst endless nightmares when SEADAWG continues to punish your head with another brick-punch direct to your stomach. Ouch... again!!!

And I can continue like this until the album ends... FOUR PINTS is another pretty heavy tuned cut... even it can be compared with some MELVINS angry song... a really good song which fit perfect to a soundtrack for a steamroller.

IRON CLAD is another song you'll love and enjoy... and when you finish this album, you'll realise you love the whole of it!!!

FiftyWattHead hails from Canada and they have been caught by the great uprising SIGNED BY FORCE label who has an exquisite palate for bands.

Thanks SIGNED BY FORCE for this... again!!!

Moho - 2008 - Chotacabra

Back in black with spanish act MOHO. And once again a fully satisfactory album.

It starts with the track which titles the album, CHOTACABRA and it is just a follow up of a previous unfinished tune. Right in the balls.Second track is slightly different about what we are all use to listen from MOHO. SAN MAMES encloses not so sludge sounds, riffs and so on. It winks rock, whatever the shape you want it to give... if you could!! Anyway, it's a good way to spice a sludge album.

But don't trust anything you think at first sight: third track GARGANTOR comes with typical MOHO deals. Groovy dirty sludge on its right way.

DEMACRONCH is a bit difficult to swallow. It is far from being catchy... math riffs chain themselves, no matter what you expect you'll hear: they do.Tracklist is shown in this album like if it were a vinyl one: A and B side.

And it is this B side the one who starts with the dark and slow TERROR ULTRAMARINO, pretty similar to previous one.

Apparently primitive TORPEDO could be one of those delicious cakes for sludgers though main drum rhythm could bother a bit until the end...

ANCIAGO is an 17 minutes doomy piece which opens the door to the awesome GARAGE CHAMPION, that ends the album.

Get it now!!!!!!!!!

Walls Of Mystery - Walls Of Mystery

Great self released work from this greek act with 15 cool tunes, no less.

Basically, WoM can be filed on stoner but this wouldn’t be fair for them and even for you: their sound is more “good ol’rock” flavored and voice transports you to ol’rock’n’roll bands; Hammond spiced “Take a Chance” or “End of Time” are an example; Slow “Scissor Tongue” will put you into a big hangover after a train of shots of bourbon in a far west saloon; “Harmless Axe” comes to mind early rock songs of Saint Vitus in the beginning; the same with “Another Deaf Season” but this spell brokes itself when a piano appears on scene. It fits perfect in the song, anyway.

“Gypsy Son” is a typical riff tune you cannot resist to listen to the end, though I’m sure you’ve heard similar ones before.

But this album is not perfect, to be a bit critical with my greek friends: “City Clown” is not into my likes… organ results a bit annoying though it’s clearly givin’ the circus attrezzo to the song…

If you try to guess where the heck they come from, you’ll never get right because they sound, both voice and instruments, like if they were truly 70’s southern rockers. You cannot assure the birth of this album is so recent.

After ninth song, cuts look more primitive, more simple. Seems like they’re from an early era of the band which is not necessary bad. The band assures they’re the same age as the others so… maybe it’s only my imagination… Examples of this opinion are “TV Brain” or “Drugstore Mama”.

This is a serious work. It doesn’t go only to get you by simple catchy tunes. They even go further to satisfy the most demanding rockers.

To end: a really interesting band I’m sure will have more cool stuff to offer in the future.

Devillac - 2008 - Three Hours To Coma

With a near-to-be disturbing cover, THREE HOURS TO COMA starts with the song which gives title to the album. Is one of those jammie relaxing songs with a bit of western taste... I guess.
But soon you'll enter into DEVILLAC's world with MAN WITHOUT A SPINE. I still remember when I first heard these guys and they're still in the same vein. Also I remember I filed their stuff pretty close to early QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, but they had their own way to understand that weird-stoner they made. Because I believe we all loved KYUSS, so it's supossed to be with QOTSA... but not in my case. I have to recognize sometimes I've got bored listening a whole album of their latest era. This won't happen in any case with DEVILLAC, who will preserve that essence that makes unique a band. Even if you think stoner-rock died some ago or if you firmly believe it never existed, you have to be aware this band is recommended to any into alternative rock scene.

Third song, PB, is one of my fave songs of this ten song album, together with following one. It is catchy, it is fuzzy, it'll make your feet stomp, it'll make you bang your head, it'll make you jump!!!
WINCHESTER is one of those alt-rock/stoner-rock tunes which remembers me one of those songs from that cool band called SUPERCRUISER.
Just to be a bit severe with my finnish friends, instrumentals like MENTAL explore sounds out of their yard... but they do it good!!!

KAMIKAZE could be a recurring tune, but with a wellknown riff so who cares?
WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVE is one of those songs that I'd love to be performed live. A truth fast stoner tune which I'm sure makes DEVILLAC explode over the audience anytime they unload their energy... remember early DOZER?

And to close this highly recommended sweet piece of music, the finishing touch of an almost 8 minutes track which fades out making you wishing more!!! All you have to do is spin again from the beginning to continue the trip...

Go rush for this CD before they run out HERE !!!

Maligno - 2007 - Maligno

If we all talk about MALIGNO it is a must to mention the terms doom and southern rock, apart from store them among your best doom-stoner-rocks records on your shelves. That is, taking the cocktail shaker, putting equal parts of TROUBLE and BLACK SABBATH and shake it with the anger of DOWN, together along with late CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's tuned guitars... maybe... or so. In fact, MALIGNO was taking form meanwhile members were touring as a BLACK SABBATH's tribute band.

Anyway, if you are so lucky (clever if you ask for it now) to get MALIGNO's cd, you'll experience the same essence of doom into 2008, which will be the year of their second album. It will be the same feeling like if you discover today THE OBSESSED... if this could happen, heheheheh...

These "never born" arrive from Mexico, for you to know. And the sound could compete with the best producing into the scene all around the world, not for nothing is was produced by Mr. Colin Davis at Imperial Mastering L.A. Their product is a hard work with exceptional results. And I say exceptional because resulst are exactly what they wanted to mean.

Easy to understand if you check the cover of this CD: a big broken brow skull on black background together with in gothic font moniker MALIGNO. With this, what you get inside is what it is expected. Good vibe...

Some musical elements are new for the doomsters but they're not annoying on the final picture so don't worry about purity of this doom piece.

Ten tracks complete this album with no fissures and no filler. The album is almost 50 minutes and believe me you'll think it's shorter when the last track ends. And once you listen the album for a second time, some songs will make you wonder if this or that one you have heard it before some ago, and not because of similarities, which doom-stoner-rock riffs are always full of...

MALIGNO is currently releasing their new album so you better check them out the soonest!!!

Time To Burn - 2007 - Is.Land

Excelent work by this band from Paris. Or may I say AWESOME.

It is not easy to label this album but let's store this band at the beginning as sludge metal (45%) and post-rock(55%). But it would be rough for a pure post-rocker listener... maybe post-hardcore or post-metal could be also used, but I don't believe it is accurate enough, IMO.

I would like to meet these guys before here in Madrid because I saw they were playing around here not a long ago. And if they sound live a half cool as on the album, a live set by TIME TO BURN gotta be crushing!!!!

They explore heavy recourring riffs which carries you down to their hell as if you were comfortably seated on a giant snake who steadfastly arrives to the true throne of evil. Their soft (?) interludes soon cut up to bring harder riffs like a rollercoaster of sludgie fun. Anger suppurates on every note without flaunting: Just seing really cool front cover (very calm and peaceful sensation) and artwork of the album (clean colors... in the same way as Cult Of Luna's "Salvation" cover art) which don't show off the power truck who is about to start when you slip their CD into the player.

There are some kind of play in this album. Its title is "Is.Land"; first song's title "Is", fifth song out of ten's title is "." and last song is titled "Land". Hadn't received any reference about this and well... maybe I'm becoming mad and wanna see ghosts everywhere!!

Some similarities can be done on the fly with the band BATTLEFIELDS... and I said "some"...

I love this album, guys. Come to Madrid soon... Maybe soon we can talk for a show around here, together with your neighbours TORMENTA...

Nevermind the DWARVES: here's TRIGGER EFFECT

Dissapointed to the bone... and angry. Yes: that's the feeling after the DWARVES gig.
Less than 60 minutes playing and no encore... Just note they didn't play DRUGSTORE!!!!!!

I looked like possessed... screaming... asking for more... but they didn't come out.

So it was time to calm down after showing my middle finger when entering the car... and there, there was that great TRIGGER EFFECT album waiting for me on the CD player. And it was somewhat like a magic pill.

The real thing is this album KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys are fücking crazy, I tell you!!!!

Right from the beginning this album ("Dare To Ride The Heliocraft") comes with a freak intro which makes you fear what comes later. Fuck labeling this album 'coz you won't be able: I bet you!!. Many many bands from many different scenes will go thru your head while listening this...

Even, vocally talking, you can find short passages where SLIPKNOT or MARILYN MANSON will come to your mind: distorted mic voice singing that way shoving among the sounds on tunes that will kick your balls hard.

The mix of styles is weird and FULLY recommendable to all of you. If you miss this album, you're nothing, dude.

Montreal based TRIGGER EFFECT have created one of the best albums this year on this great label SIGNED BY FORCE who is working so hard for the underground and hitting the bull's eye.

White Lilium - 2007 - II: Chrysalis

OFFICIAL

myspace

A pretty difficult task we have here: where the hell you can store this band with?
This doesn't mean a bad thing, of course. It is just a way to recommend this EP to everyone into eclectic styles, but metal oriented.

In this sense, you can say this could be progressive trash metal spiced with death metal segments. But this classification is short enough for these young guys (20 years ARO). "II: Chrysalis" (you can get these songs officially from this link in mp3 format) is not stuff only for metalheads, though headbangers from different styles will find this a delicious cake. I really find some passages and riffs near to the feeling you get when you listen to BUCKETHEAD. But you gotta add some interesting lyrics, kinda twisted in my opinion but cool in the end together with melodies.

Maybe, as a result of a NoizeLand recommendation, this EP is a bit hard to swallow for a newbie into metal but after a second spin, you'll find some juicy parts to chew for a long while.

With the enlistment of a new bassist (previous one left the band due to personal and musical differences), WHITE LILIUM looks to the future with a pleasant smile on their faces as they know what they're doing is their correct musical expression of what they feel.

They'll be at the Emergenza Bandcontest, somewhen april '08. Good luck!!!

Circus Of Damnation - Don't Let Them Fall

Groovy!!! Interesting work of this Italian band.
It is called DON’T LET THEM FALL and you can find dark 6 tunes in the vein of some early MY DYING BRIDE.

It starts with a long intro that sincerely should be shorter (Hey!! Don't go, just wait!!) but, after that, IN SPECIEM CADAVERIS gets you into their obscure realm, easily with that slow drum doomy beat.
Third cut is more into a kind-alike epic sound, similar to late ANATHEMA works, even in the not-guttural voice. A symphonic tune...
FALLING TEARS FROM HER EYES comes again into what they seems to be more into: slow tempoes and black-metalish voice shape this tune. Maybe this time you can consider too recurring the organ background melody… but won’t be annoyed.
On RISING WILL, the piano carries you over their style on what is their last sung song.
LAYING WILL can be considered as the outro before their hidden track EPHIMERAL which is more a musical thought about time.
CIRCUS OF DAMNATION is a serious proposal from Italy for those you are very into both MY DYING BRIDE early era and ANATHEMA latest works.

Listen to them at their myspace or go to their official site for more info.

Hackman - 2007 - The New Normal

This is a blow-off-your-head perfect album. Seven perfect more instrumental tunes which will make you leave the album on your stereo for years, spinning again and again!!! SMALLSTONE RECORDS hit right in the spot for the umpteenth time: what a sense of smell, Scott.

Even the third cut, YOU CAN’T EVER GET WHAT YOU WANT, which starts as a shameless tribute to the glorious TV EYE of the STOOGES, is an enjoyable stoner piece suitable even to jump.

When CHIN MUSIC, that invitation to mosh that is their fourth tune, seems it has nuttin’ new to offer, starts in the middle with one of those always welcome stoned riffs which carries you softly to the end of the song.

ABABAC revises “bluesy-rock” in a perfect FIVE HORSE JOHNSON way and manner during almost 7 minutes…

FUCK YOU I PLAYED ALTAMONT is a quiet outro for this great album…

Great work.

NoizeLand send DARRYL all the energy and health to keep on the good work like now. Cheer up and go for it bro!!!!

HACKMAN threat to record a brand new album near the end of March.

KENSIFELLA

KENSIFELLA
Here we go with a style-melting-pot band based on punk.
The clear example is the song they've chosen at the beginning: "Weaned From The Scene" which could figure a statement of what you'll get on this demo. This song is a perfect piece with a perfect ragga punk perfectly assembled with a hardcore punk chorus. Ideal for NOFX worshippers...

But right after that, "Good For Nothing" attacks you with a some-way stoner styled song which has nothing to do with what you expected.

When your attention is tripping, rambling outside somewhere you believe you'll find an explanation which one could be the connection between those songs, "Son Of A Gun", their third cut, shocks you with a Bad Religion/ JawBreaker shaped tune that, once again catches your attention with its quality and, again, the question of how a band can be so cool manufacturing so different tunes in that high standard... Aliens?!?!?! Maybe something more strange because they close their demo with an alternative-rock song titled "Caged" with its own personality...

Just right when you think you've guessing a clue, cd-player loops on to the first song waking you up with that killer-fast harcore punk riff, putting you down on that question of the beginning... "How...?"

I feel Kensifella is a band deserved to be seen live. I'll try to know what songs they cover when they give an encore. And, of course, everyone should monitor them closely to check what's next!!!

Guys: keep me posted...

Greedy Mistress - Your Shoes, My Tongue

Format: CD

Label: Chorus Of One Records

Date: March 2007

Ok. You're right: forget about the cover... a bit ugly. You simply gotta have the balls to open that GREEDY MISTRESS CD and listen to it... and you'll feel the king of the world!!! Just like if you were injected red bull directly to your veins.

Yeah!! The first thing came to mind when I started to listen the first spin was my beloved THE ONYAS. Right in the same vein, though the voice is more dirty like a DWARVES way. Even some older G.B.H. stuff can be smelt on "LATEX WAY" song, for example.

For sure these guys will be killers live on stage. This vitality can be imagined easily...

But this band is not only recommended only for fast pogo-bangheads. If you're into punk or hardcore you'll love them but also other (even extreme) branches should try them.

Let's mosh with "YOUR SHOES, MY TONGUE".

Hope soon they can have the weight enough for a mini tour over Europe. At least, their energy does!!!

FREQUENZWANDLER

FREQUENZWANDLER

Simply amazing. Surprising to the point of getting shocked. FREQUENZWANDLER comes from Germany and they are at the moment self producing their great tunes (and I gotta say production is impeccable for being a demo)... until a clever mind has the money to get them in an album. They are simply the best way to be smart and elegant in stoner.

Though they can be considered new as a band (they started in this project around 2004) soon you'll realise their great quality as musicians and as a whole. They fit perfectly!!!!

This band can be hypnotic enough as much as incunabulum and famous ONE INCH MAN in the song FREQUENZWANDLER, or musically notable on KICK IT BACK IN, one of my fave... though I've realised I dig four songs demo again and again without being tired neither an apex.

CIRCLE OF THORNS is an awesome tune will make you stomp your feet and repeat again on your hifi when finished. Vocalist Christian Wietschorke wraps you into the melodies as much as Klaus Nobis guitar waves together along with more that excellent drums in charge of Markus Kösler who surfs on a twin-board by the hand of bassist Jürgen Resch constructing a no gaps rhythm base as a psychedelic vortex you will never want to be out of.

Just for you to compare (I know some of you need that), I'd mention australian band WRENCH (remember that outstanding OSCILLATOR BLUES album?!?!!? I, of course, do) which is pretty similar as much as a twin brother, but less trippy and with shoter songs.

In my opinion, this band is one of those we all cannot leave them drop the towel. Just don't give up, friends. Work on your stuff the time you have, though you think is a few.
We all can help them just voting for them at http://www.bandcontest.open-flair.de/Bandcontest.php

See you soon... or not, who knows.

From Exile - 2006 - Crushing Reality

It's clear when a band releases their debut album (whatever independent or on a label) an invisible power grows inside of the members as a whole and makes them work like overdosed by high performance vitamins, like an armor that converts the one who fits into it invincible. Makes you feel like you can swallow the world in one gulp... and still raving to spit it out.
If you previously have that energy, you just add it. And this is the result on FROM EXILE. NOIZELAND hadn't checked live but their live acts seems to be intense.


Their release of CRUSHING REALITY (2006) has made an obvious increase of their audience but not only of pure-metal ears. That's maybe because of the influences they air... maybe. Of course, you can notice it on the songs.

At first look, maybe some of you can say "more of the same, again". Crass error. I'm sure that you won't think that if you listen hearful. Maybe even after the first song, when you reach "Soliloquy of Death", the second cut: An eleven minute epic thrash metal cut will make you redefine your concept of what you understand as metal. The prevailing voice, nearer to black metal current scene changes its aspect depending on the atmosphere the song takes while the notes crowd together into your brain with no way out thru your excited ears. Some interludes into songs makes the listener wake up from the thrash trance and realise this is not another metal product for newbies. Also considerable is the impression you'll get for sure when the song gives title to the album goes through you. Another 10 outta 10. Great tunes. And also I gotta say (maybe not so important but sometimes some listeners appreciate that) the disposition of the songs all along the album is the correct one.




Unfortunately, that invisible energy mentioned at the beginning doesn't affect every aspect in a band and now FROM EXILE is trying to recruit a new bassist. Good luck with that. But warning: new member gotta play in the same league as the band. I recommend you, if you're the potential bassist, to listen them before sending an email (fromexile@gmail.com) for an audition...

From Exile come from Atlanta and the crew is, at this moment:

• Eric Guenther - Guitar
• Andrew Iwanicki - Vocals
• Ben Wetzelberger - Guitar
• Vince Jarocki - Drums
