Merging doom, psychedelic sludge, grind, black metal and mighty mighty riffs to create a sound wholly their own, INTER ARMA deliver their Relapse debut ‘Sky Burial’, easily an early contender for heavy music record of the year. Emerging from the ever-fertile metal breeding grounds of Richmond, Virginia, Inter Arma have spent the last few years touring relentlessly, perfecting a hypnotically punishing live show. ‘Sky Burial’ brings that focus onto record, and what a record it is. Truly heavy in all senses of the word, ‘Sky Burial’ is a spiritually intense journey through the halls of extreme metal. INTER ARMA have made a decisively loud proclamation with ‘Sky Burial’---this is a band that could very well be the next crown-holder in a regal line of iconic Relapse bands.

Julianna Barwick is an American musician who composes using electronic loops. Her first album was released in 2009.

Multi Natural is a new example of Christina’s organic chamber music. We enter nine composed chambers. Nine rooms to inhabit, constructed out of elements that are slowly fusing. The album is a string of semi constant metamorphosis. A gesture appears, is elaborated upon—or is halted and replaced by a new gesture. Multi Natural has multi focal points, quite dissimilar to Christina’s other works that tend to have a more linear path.
Within this album lives a composer who is not afraid to let the content take over. In this, obviously composed work, there is still a large space for all those sounds to act freely. It is almost like Christina is waiting for the music to compose itself. This technique speaks of respect and trust for the listener, since it gives thelistener freedom to personally connect the lines.
When you put the needle on this record, everything turns to stone. The music flows and nurtures. Sounds that come from various realities—molded into a mutual understanding. With each spin, new events catch the ears. Like looking at alandscape, perceiving new details close and far with every gaze.
When Christina warps both time and space for you, it comes to you as a gift.

1997 release 'Brighten The Corners' is a record that reveals its gifts gradually, giving you enough information the first time to make you want come back for more. Matador Records.

Being one of the fastest rising stars in Avant Garde Metal music, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT proudly presents their fourth studio album “Alphaville”. With their upcoming record the metal trio from New York once again proves their matchless technical excellence and breathtaking musical craftsmanship. Small wonder that no other that the ingenious artist and illustrator Zbigniew M. Bielak contributes one of his best creations so far to this magnificent masterpiece.
Singer and Guitarist Zachary states on Imperial Trumphants fourth studio album "ALPHAVILLE - This new album is the pinnacle of our combined efforts as a band. It is the most refined version of our current state of creation. (…) Alphaville is our most proud achievement to date. Welcome to the dawn of the new Roaring 20s."
“Alphaville” will celebrate its premiere on July 31st and will be available as Gatefold Empire Black 2LP featuring a stunning LP Booklet & Poster. The LP also offers a special gimmick: SIDE D (the side that features two bonus tracks) is pressed with a rare “double-groove” feature, i.e. there are two grooves cut side-by-side, so that the listener plays the one cover version or the other - depending on where exactly the needle is placed.

Deftones成功的融合了朋克音乐，流行音乐，嘻蹦乐和传统重金属，此专辑由Soundgarden、Pantera、White Zombie制作大将Terry Date精心雕琢，呈现出Grunge、Noise-Pop、Death Metal互融的世纪末黑暗摇滚风暴。
电影《The Crow：City of Angels》中有一场名为《Day of the End》得的Festival。其中，有一群名不见经传的年轻小伙子狂吼了一曲"Teething"。这首歌之后亦手收录在该电影原声带中。在「Escape From L.A」的电影原声带里，还有一首 "Can't Even Breath"。
由一个华人、两个墨西哥人和一个白人所组成的Deftones，95 年在 Madonna的厂牌「Maverick」旗下发行首张专辑《Adrenaline》，旋即以杂揉狂暴Industrial与急骤Hardcore的曲风，侵袭了摇滚圣殿。在The Deftones高动能吉他諲墙的袭击之下，黑暗之神拥抱大地。主唱Chino Moreno如念咒般的噪音，叙述一波又一波的疯狂意念，带领众摇滚信徒远离虚拟尘世，侧身走进欲念主宰的真时空间。
《Adrenaline》不仅使Deftones的音乐受到电影界的青睐，更与Bad Brains、Korn、White Zombie等摇滚前辈同台演出，举行了长达13个月的巡回演出。时隔两年，这个以纯粹音乐能量撼人耳目的四人组合，献出了专辑「Around The Fur」。惊人的极限摇滚动力，依旧是整张专辑的发声基调。而较前作更为成熟、自然的创作态度，则使Chino的词句展现高度的说服力与叙事性。例如在专辑标题曲"Around the Fur"中，Chino以融合女性阴柔气息与Hardcore式撕吼的噪音，述说它对于黑暗世俗的耽溺。类似议题也出现在"MX"一曲中，讨论的则贪婪的意象。
世纪末的诸多毁灭预言曾经让许多人恐慌不已。不过在Party氛围笼罩之下，生活似乎满是欢乐与光明。也许世界没那么糟，但也没那么美。此刻，此刻就让我们随着Deftones的强力音频，进入被遗忘的欲望禁地吧!

美国独立民谣摇滚女歌手 Sharon Van Etten联手爵士女歌手Norah Jones推出全新单曲《Seventeen》。

Sister Crayon began with vocalist Terra Lopez playing classical guitar and pre-programmed beats on a loop pedal to attentive house crowds. With the addition of members Dani Fernandez, Genaro Ulloa and Nicholas Suhr, Sister Crayon has emerged as a four-piece whose emotional live performances along with their styles of ambience, Hip Hop and hysterical have created a stir with Bellow. Inspired by the late French writer Jean Genet, it is a sexual lament and sigh to the popular criminal.
