Lagrima once again.

Asylum Bedlam - This is it

Rate:4/5

Underproduced
It's really hard to decide here. The riff is really catchy and NIN-like, but the rest is more metal (I mean vocals and rhythm section) than industrial. There are one or two samples, but it doesn't necessary make a tune industrial. However, an overall impression is very positive. The song is catchy, with a THIS IS IOT howl and composition is swift, but it's simply underproduced. If recorded in better studio, would be hit.

Pequeña Fiera! - Secrets with no words

Rate:8/10
Once again, this one’s from Error!Lo-Fi Records (Spain.). Pequeña Fiera! is a band that explores the border between lo-fi (really ;-) and experimental/art rock (vide Radiohead, Sigur Ros, etc.). What we got on Secrets with no words are 5 very dreamy and hazy tunes, that takes us somewhere very much behind the rainbow. If the band thought about the compositions a little bit thoroughly than it would definitely be a minor underground hit-band. It is still above average, because Pequeña Fiera! Is not afraid to try something new (ok, we’ve heard this dream pop/post rock thing before, but still it’s not that everyone plays that way). My favourite track here is do re mi fa sol I kiss you, very chilled-out track with my vocals and slacky/lazy melody strolling through out. Generally, it is a band and an album to recommend, and I would gladly check out what more do they have in stock.

p.s. I loved their cover. Freaked out!

Stay cool,

Nightmare Simulation - Never Die

Rate:4/5

Rammstein demo?
Is a nice piece of something that reminds me of some Deutche Neue Harte demo track. It's hard, it's rythmical and undoubtedly industrial. Lyrics are crude, but that's the way it should be and production is a bit garage, but it only makes the mood more grime. Lead vocals do recollect Rammstein singer and the composition is well sequenced. Overall, it's a good track. Keep up with jobs well done.

smoked out brainz - re disablinator

Rate:4/5

Nice hardcore
I would truly recommend this tune. It reminds the good, old experimental hardcore stuff from Alternative Tentacles Rec. and so on. It's much more sophisticated that the usual hc stuff, but still it has this energy and power one looks for. I would work on the vocals a bit (I think more about the production than the singing), but overall it is an interesting composition.

p.s. well... only after I wrote this review it appeared that a tune comes from my Canadianb friends. Greetings!!!
p.s.2 Smoked out brainz is a name of a net-label, not a band. What's group name? I don't know. Anybody?

The Shambolics - First: I Kill You. Then: I Steal Your Power

Rate:8/10

It's raw, it's garage-like, it'S The Shambolics. Those crazy punk-blues kiwi's from postmoderncore net label it's one of the most surprising things I've recently come over CC. First: I Kill You. Then: I Steal Your Power it's just 4 tracks, roughly 12 minutes of music, but still it's so dirty and in-your-face that I do recommend it to every indie-fan out there. My favourites there is instrumental Petrol, and Bad Man/Bad Girl - a modern crazy ride in a Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion style. Number 2 at the record, Stoopid Bitches may be little bit off-putting because of a sexiest title, but nonetheless it's nice tihs to listen to.

stay cool,

Lágrima - Trayecto Imperfecto de un Viaje Inacabado

Rate:8/10

This is the first of the records from Error!Lo-Fi Recording, a very interesting net-label that I recommend here, that's why the score is maybe a bit excessive. Lagrima plays interesting and engaging instrumental lo-fi and although there is a certain that-composition-is-so-similar and I-have-heard-it-before syndroms, it's still a recommendable release. Becasue of the first thing mentioned above, I won't say which track on the Trayecto Imperfecto de un Viaje Inacabado is the best, and because of the second syndrome, I won't say which bands too much influenced this project ;-).
Summarizing, check it out; if you like lo-fi/postrock vibes, this is your record. If not, well... Too bad.

stay cool,

gz.
