Arson Charge – A Dying Light

Metalcatto

Let’s return to the underground and pick up something unconventional, and by that I mean Arson Charge’s A Dying Light. Not every day do I get an album that sounds like a car crash between Thrash, Industrial, and even Nu-Metal. The real question is: are there any survivors of this massive collision? That’s what I’m here for—to take the bullets you’re too busy to take. Can this band impress us, or will it just make us scratch our heads? Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect just by looking at the artwork. Nothing wrong with it, but what does it make you feel? Maybe I don’t want to know. Let’s go!

ODC – Twisted Love

Metalcatto

As you might know by now, my relationship with Nu-Metal is more complex and conflictive than the Indian-Pakistani border. That said, ODC is a band I basically discovered by accident while doing mercenary work and decided to dig deeper, because not only Black Metal from your mom’s basement deserves chances. So what does Twisted Love have for us? Is it going to be a guilty pleasure or a “Korn concert” pleasure? Which one is the good one is up to you! Let’s do this!

Dropout Kings – Yokai

Metalcatto

I’m going to try something new and difficult for once. First, reviewing Dropout Kings’ Yokai, which is the closest we’ve come to covering a completely different music genre. Second, being honest yet respectful, given the irreplaceable human loss the band has recently suffered. So, despite my deep-seated disdain for most Nu-Metal or Hip-Hop, I’m willing to change (unlike your parents!). Let’s dive in—because that cover art promises madness.

True kvlt: Thørles, Amerakin Overdose, & Willem

Metalcatto

Hi there, my depressed people of the internet! I know True kvlt usually doesn’t come out on Fridays, but a) I’m terribly busy living the summer life, and b) I recently joined Groover, and these are the projects that got my attention so far. They’re diverse and don’t exactly match my usual taste, but they definitely raise the quality of this section—not exactly known for its prestige. But hey, what can I do if you guys submit better stuff? Let’s go!

Noumenia – Echoes

Metalcatto

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a Nu/Groove Metal band actually tried to be heavy? No? Well, me neither—but part of the reviewer’s job is to find things you weren’t even looking for (you get Post-Groove! Please make it stop!). And Noumenia – Echoes is exactly that. So my question before jumping into this wave of crystal-clear production is: is this album going to be Pantera good or Limp Bizkit bad? I’m almost equally afraid of both outcomes, but it’s time to give a chance to something slightly less from the sewers!
