EP OF THE WEEK- HWDU-LOVE CRIME

-

 

Welsh four-piece Hwdu (Hoodoo) released their debut EP Love Crime on May 28th via Bandcamp.

The Alternative rock act, hailing from Swansea, Wales, consists of Lead Vocalist and guitarist Matt Williams, fellow guitarist and backing vocalist Jonny Rundell, drummer Owen Foote and bassist Gavin Smith. the band blends in-your-face rock with stoner grooves and punk sensibilities.

The six-track EP begins with the infectious lead single "Space Punk", an energetic punk song with driving distorted riffs, and buoyant vocals. This is a good start for fans of Clutch. The hard-hitting "Shit TV" takes a dig at the endless supply of streaming shows available. The aggressive riffs accompany a ruthless, up-tempo alternative rock song. The EP goes in a softer direction with the wistful punk ballad "Jessie" and the pop-rock track "Song for June". 

And finally, the dastardly "Counter Esperanto" with ever-contagious grooves, enthusiastic vocals, and intriguing storytelling.

HWDU takes influence from a wide range of punk, stoner, and pop to create six tracks of impactful music destined to make you fist pump, whilst all the time taking a nod to those aforementioned influences.

  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...
