| | Apocalyptica Cult CD Apocalyptica Discography of CDs
Principally recorded at Petrax Studios, Hollola, Finland. Includes liner notes by Petri Silas and Eicca Toppinen.
Fans who remember Apocalyptica from its first two albums might have suspected that the four Finnish cellists would fade into obscurity after their stock of Metallica covers ran dry. Sure, the shtick worked well while it lasted, but the irony of classically trained cellists covering heavy metal will only hold listeners' attention for so long. This is why, on their third album, they've taken some risks. The ensemble has grown to feature a double bass, orchestral percussion, and distorted cellos. Plus, they stick strickly to their own songs, and, at a time when heavy metal has gone the way of dodo birds and disco, they've refused to abandon their roots. Cult, Apocalyptica's third album, is a meld of late-'80s melodramatic heavy metal and late-1800s romanticism. When it's all said and done, these Finns can flat out play. "Struggle" opens up with eerie insect noises and then pounces into a section that sounds eerily like Sepultura. Some of the harmonies on "Pray" are so cleverly placed they can be mistaken for a human voice for the first few notes. Every song is an epic, and every song is dark and heavy. It's not old school Metallica, but it is some of the most intelligent, original heavy metal being made today. ~ Kieran McCarthy

Cult album
 $14.29   
Over the course of 15 albums and a 30-year career, Overkill have proven time and time again that they're one of the most relentlessly enduring bands in thrash metal. While modern bands have been taking metal into an increasingly esoteric direction, Ironbound shows that sometimes the old ways are the best ways. While the album may not have any studio trickery or meandering prog epics, what it does deliver is a dose of old-fashioned, full-speed-ahead thrash. With a classic combination of crunchy riffage backed by a furious double-bass drum stampede, Overkill delivers straightforward metal aggression without any neo-classical or prog pretensions. On the titular "Ironbound," guitarists Dave Linsk and Derek Tailer deliver a massive, chugging riff that manages to be intense without ever indulging in meat-headed aggression. Another high point is Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth's singing. Even after 30 years and an unfortunate stroke, Ellsworth's voice is clear and dominant, giving ...

Big Blend indeed! The new release from Asheville's Every Mother's Dream boasts a variety seldom found in a folk rock release. Anyone who listens to this disc is sure to find something they can enjoy. "She Rides" kicks off the recording with a funk edge while the following track, "Steer", takes more of a toe tapping country twist. As you make your way through the big blend of tunes, you'll hear some jazz, swing, folk and even a hint of electronica in the concluding song "Observation Deck". "Into the Sun", a positive and empowering ode to broken women, and "Don't Tell Me No" offer a refreshing stripped down sound amidst a full band sound. You can expect a love song or two, yes, but the themes in Big Blend range from daydreams to particle physics At least two things are consistent throughout this record - stirring vocal harmonies and well crafted songwriting. This duo, once just Jay Kaiser and Mandy Carter, has made some impressive choices in the musical company they keep. Jay brilliantly plays many of the instruments on Big Blend as its producer. However, it would not be the same shining success without drummer, Jeff Dewhirst and saxophone player, Aimee Sullivan. Jeff's tasteful kit sound drives most tunes on the record, and Aimee lays down some spectacular solos on "She Rides" and "Attitude". BAND BIO:Jay Kaiser and Mandy ...

Distant FutureThis Project all started with a challenge from several very well known musicians and writers. Sitting around the studio one night we were talking about how many songs or different ways can you play the same or similar chord progressions.I decided to take up the challenge and experiment with the idea, some of these experiments we decided were so good they, along with a few other compositions, had to be released. So the Distant Future Project was born to capture a variety of musical compositions composed by Richard Norman. It's been more than ten years since the release of "Shadows In The Spring". Richard has built a full recording studio, filled it with drums, guitars, bass, horns, and of course keyboards, all to bring you the Audio Quality you deserve We all hope you enjoy this magical music. Designed to take you through a various rhythms and moods, from ...
