Gangrena - The Zombie Survival Society (2012)
9.2
/Death metal, Crust punk, Grindcore, Goregrind, Non-music, Brutal metal/
Comment: the listener can be sure that Gangrena, the Mexico-based collective is obviously an out of pop group because of incessantly mutilating and demolishing possible fine song structures and harmonies presented in mind. Gangrena`s release used run on devouring, indecipherable vocal/moaning lines, angrily attacking guitar massives, deathly punching drums and other abrasive (or on the other way unexpected) minutiae by right and left side. As the result the issue releases a vast amount of psyched-out emission into surrounding space. In a word, it is a genuinely cruel, hellish dog.

Fabian Russ - Schrottmann Remixed (2011)
9.2
/Art pop, Experimental electronica, Sampledelic, Remixes, Sound collage, Downtempo, Crossover, Conceptual, Mood music/
Comment: first of all, this release of 9 pieces involves a wide array of different kind of paces and moods, more detailly, extending from airy piano music-induced impetus and uplifting art/indie pop washes to more warped electronic compositions, velvety downtempo/trip-hop gears and old school funk bits. Considering all of this merry-go-round-alike patchwork the outlet can be defined as a subtle instance of sampledelic aesthetics. The remixes are made by such artists as Firnwald, Francis Bacon, Photophob, The Plastic Jazz Orchestra, The1983, Hr. Herr, Marco Sebastian Christ, and Osterland. Pro.
Ratkiller - Gallic Cones (2012)
9.0
/Synth fusion, DIY, Progressive rock, RIO/Avant-prog, Experimental rock, Mood music, Crossover/
Comment: this 10-piece album takes on investigation of the relations between psychedelic fusion, 80`s synthesized regatta pop, space tinged-art pop, DIY-hued aesthetics (indeed, successfully avoiding the quality of sterile studio sound), and RIO/avant-prog glimpses and slots. Anyway, the final result is prudently amusive and uplifting where the technical side of it is finely counterbalanced with moody, psychic sides. Behind the project is Mihkel Kleis, who is being known as the leader of such formations as Luarvik Luarvik, and EDASI.

Overcolored - Corvus Corone Cornix (2011)
8.8
/Post-rock, Crossover, Progressive metal, Art rock, Progressive rock, Symphonic metal, Melodic rock/
Comment: Overcolored is a pretentious ensemble from Krakow, Poland whose oeuvre do meet at the crossroads of soothing, at times concrete music-induced post-rock-ish developments, tumultuous progressive rock-ish rhythm patterns and acrid guitar riffs, and spectacular symphonic rock/melodic metal (indeed, the instrumental side is finely counterbalanced by female operatic soaring). In a nutshell, the result is an intricate and intriguing whole. And the coverprint is shrewd and metaphorical indeed.
fydhws / aiRless pRoject Split (2011)
9.5
/Post-rock, Avant-rock, Experimental rock, Krautrock, Art-rock, Space rock, Conceptual/
Comment: behind this split publication do hide themselves two Macedonian experimental ambassadors whose 5-track album is tightly filled in with spacey flamingo-tinged guitar motives (sic!), intense, monotonous krautrock-esque vibrations and the washes of infiltrated guitar noise. Furthermore, the listener can hear lots of amplified guitar effects, "broken" chords, gliding textures, and shifts between still life and noise. In a few words, it is an example of how superb guitar music should be arranged for. You can draw parallels upon the likes...mhm, having actually no idea with whom it can be comparable with because it seems to be so idiosyncratic and refreshing.
ki††y c▲t - Radioheadache (EP 2011)
8.8
/Electronic pop, Post-dubstep, Electro-indie, Drag house, Alternative, Witch house, Alternative, Electro-indie/
Comment: these 8 tracks are made up of thick, brooding electronic/synth-driven layers and intense rhythms and epic thudding, though, sometimes is outreaches the borders of the witch house/drag electro/post-dub/dope step style, however, extending to more rock/electro-indie centered compositions. The artist originates from Russia who has issued a handful of EPs and singles (solid ones as well) over the last years.
