SONG REVIEW- CALLING ALL ASTRONAUTS- "RESIST"

-


















Industrial rockers' Calling All Astronauts have released their sixth single of the COVID-19 pandemic, Resist today ( February 19th). The track was mixed by double Grammy winner Alan Branch ( NIN, U2, Depeche Mode).

Resist is a political take on the Antifa movement and in particular, the battle against Fascism and far-right politics. The track is 3 minutes of industrial rock with dark atmospherics that highlight the continuous struggle. The track opens with a distorted riff, accompanied by swirling electronics. This builds with each passage that culminates in a foreboding bridge and chorus. The song continues to produce stark dynamics with a murky bassline that resolves in the song finding a message at the end.

Words by Anselm Anderson

Resist reached #1 on the Internet TOP 40 ROCK CHART https://www.internettop40.com/it40-rock-nmvs-week-6

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray. It has released two full releases to date, including 2015's critically -acclaimed Devils, Horns and Halos. The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world. Upon first listening, I felt the band reminded me of the 2000's Latin Nu-metal group Il Nino. Ironically, this EP  was mixed, mastered, and recorded by the band's prod...

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton...
