Incoming: TesseracT

If you haven’t heard of TesseracT before, you can be forgiven, but Prog Metal fans, now is the time to pay attention.

Formed in possibly the geekiest way possible, U.K. Prog Metallers TesseracT started to take shape from internet based communities and a love for Meshuggah. If you think these guys will be just another Meshuggah clone though, you’ll be mistaken, as TesseracT bring their own unique sound to the table.

Gaining praise from Meshuggah, Textiles as well as much of the Metal media, TesseracT have signed with Century Media Records and will finally be releasing their debut album (titled One) in 2011. TesseracT will definitely be a band to watch out for this year.

So, want to check out some tracks from this Prog Metal monster? Just keep reading after the jump.

Dose of Hardcore

So this week, I shall be giving you a nice dosage of Hardcore. No, I’m not talking about Hardcore pr0n, although I must admit, do like my fair share of that. Yeah I know what you’re thinking, but I’m no sexist. I love sex and I love women. Hence my taste for pr0n and the image above.

So what Harcore am I talking about? Well the music of course. Not Hardcore Trance (is there anything lamer?), but the genre of music that formed from the emerging Hardcore Punk bands of the 80’s to aggressive Hardcore bands of the 90s, to the Metalcore acts of the 2000s.

It’s a controversial genre, especially in Metal circles, but this week I shall be offering you 5 tracks that not only shaped the Harcore genre, but that are also damn awesome songs.

Get your Hardcore dose after the jump my friends.

Dose for Sunday

So, today is Sunday, ‘the day of rest,’ God day if you will, but to me, and many others, Sundays just plain suck. It’s the day you do nothing, just waiting for Monday to come when you have to go back to work, to work a job you hate in order to buy the crap you don’t need.

Have you been to church? No? Well good, fuck that, and welcome to Metal church. Here’s just 5 songs to get you in a better mood, ready for work tomorrow. Check out my 5 songs after the jump.

My Thoughts On: Rammstein

First off, this is kind of a new format we’d like to write. “My Thoughts On” is exactly what it says, we post our thoughts, our personal opinions about a subject and I’m starting with Rammstein.

Why Rammstein of all bands, you might ask. Well, you’ll understand why within the first couple of sentences. Let’s get it on after the jump.

The year 2010 in retrospect

We’re 5 days into the new year and I can’t help myself but reflect the past year. 2010 brought us a lot of good music and a lot of sad news. Legends died, other legends released new music. The circle of life, sometimes it’s bittersweet.

Make the jump to see what I make of the last year.
