MINI_REVIEW(s): The review template of choice for the TL;DR Tribe…

‘BUILD FEAR’ (@brilliantemperor) is the latest album from @aglobrutal & it finds the Melbourne-based vocalist/guitarist Aaron Osborne emerging “from the heart of a dying star” to link up w/ the Brothers Young: drummer/spin-kicker extraordinaire @colinyovng (Twitching Tongues/God’s Hate/Dead Body) & underground producer extraordinaire Taylor to worship at the altar of “The Almighty Riff” across a 7-track spread that’s chockful of crushingly crusted & sludgy assed Doom Metal as evidenced on “Storm of Fears”

‘COMMON RITUALS’ (@firetalkrecs @angel.tapes) is the debut EP from @cruel_band_ & it finds the richly DIY Chicago-based quartet of Michael Schrieber (vocals/lyrics/guitar), Jen Ashley (bass), Brent Favata (drums) & Jack Kelsey (guitar) striking an “electric alchemy” while bringing the absolute rawkus across 4 amped up tracks that crisply combine all sorts of frantically frenzied, breathily baited & EMOtionally_rawked sounds under one fuzzed_out PostPunk umbrella as heard on album closer “Tuesday”

It’s happening! New EP/Nigritude will be released in next August! More details; @tirofficial @brilliantemperor @brilliantemperormerch https://www.instagram.com/p/CB22XVppLUV7BEzyWwRwClAi461wgDq7Nf2rjo0/?igshid=cccxb6vlg0e2

IN A MINUTE: // A POST_PUNK_ISH EXPRESS… // “SHAME AS A WEAPON” is the second single from @aglobrutal’s forthcoming album titled ‘Build Fear’ (11/10 @brilliantemperor) & it finds vocalist/guitarist Aaron Osborne’s Melbourne-based project teaming up w/ drummer/spin-kicker extraordinaire @colinyovng (Twitching Tongues/God’s Hate/Dead Body) to wax upon “an alien species who overcome years of persecution & harness their shame into a means to overthrow their oppressors” across 5 ½ mins of sludgy-ass DoomMetal. // “YOU DON’T SEE” is the book-end track on @numb.la’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Regressions’ (10/6 @thirdcomingrecords) & it finds vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Fribourg’s LA-based project, rounded out here by Marry Anne Mercy (electronics/guitars), Nicholas Ventura (guitars), Kaz Mirblouk (guitars), Nikolas Escudero (bass/vox), Laena Myers-Ionita (violins) & Griffin Kisner (drums) closing things out in bummer fashion across a 4:47 clip of hazily gazed & Alt_rocking FuzzPop. // @onyon_band are here w/ “GOLDIE,” the latest single from their forthcoming LP titled ‘Last Days On Earth’ (10/13 @troubleinmindrecords) & it finds the Leipzig-based quartet of Ilka Kellner (guitar/vocals), Maria Untheim (keys/vocals/tambourine), Florian Schmidt (bass/harmonica/vocals) & Mario Pongratz (drums/vocals) bringing 2 minimalist mins of retro-fitting, no_waving & post_punking ArtRock. // “YOUR TIME” is the first taste from @prize.horse’s forthcoming debut LP (TBA @newmoralityzine) & it finds the Minneapolis-based trio of Jake Beitel (guitar/vocals), Liv Johnson (bass/vocals) & Jon Brenner (drums) HUMming across 3+ mins of gloriously guitar-driven, dutifully downtrodden & pedal_gazing AltRawk.
