Reaction to Blood Command’s “The Plague on Both Your Houses”
This song is next level, rocking Addidas track suits and such, gives me that slavic vibe yet they’re rocking other cultural influences and wrapping it up in a ball of high energy punk, metal, black metal FUN! I love the energy this band has, give em’ a like and subscribe and check em’ out!

Reaction to Vola’s “Paper Wolf
A new band for me, kind of a trippy intro. The song has a good grove, and goes from screamy lyrics to harmonic and melodic chorus and back. Then mixes that in with a minor bit of keyboards, but largely stays focused on the core attributes of guitar, bass, and drums. The video is pretty good, I did – as I stated in the reaction – felt that the topic was handled the topic in a very PG (i.e. safe for kids) way for such a heavy topic. A kind of artistic way to broach the topic of verbal abuse and a father figure being generally absent as a good soul. Overall enjoyed the song and definitely recommend, and will recommend this band and song to others, as it definitely will find a spot in many people’s soul.

A Polaris Pairing, ending with their song Polaris’ “Nightmare”
This pairing started with Inhumane, and I’m ending it here with Nightmare.

A Polaris Pairing, starting with their song Polaris’ “Inhumane”
This song starts off with such a great grungy bass line that then goes into – not a grungy song – but a tight, heavy, unrelenting song with a slight touch of groove on top! This is a stellar song, with an amazing band that has brought together a great sound, punching bass, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic guitars that tread into new territories. All that with a very minor spice of electronic overtones here and there. Enjoy!

Reaction to Orbit Culture’s “Descent”!
A short while ago I covered Orbit Culture’s new single “From the Inside” and today I’m covering “Descent”. This one is an absolute banger of a song, heavy, thick, massive, and the list of descriptors goes on and on and on and on! Absolutely great song, join me and let’s give it a spin!

Reaction to Sicksense’s “Feed Them to the Wolves”
Sicksense is a *sort of* numetal band that actually has harmonies, solos, and all sorts of wicked stuff. Given em’ a listen, they’re worth the spin.

Polyphia’s “Remember That You Will Die”
In this video I give you a perusal of the album “Remember that you will Die” by Polyphia. It’s spectacular to say the least, check it out with me.

Orbit Culture’s “From the Inside”
Ok, so this band is one that ends up on priority. Their music has hit me in a way that most bands just don’t achieve. The composition, the vocals, the bass, drums, and combination of it all is epic, brutal, emotive, and intense. Aside from just being bumped in priority for me, it appears they’re starting to really take off in overall popularity too (finally, and well deserved, they’ve been around!). I will have a lot more reactions plus album reviews coming soon for Orbit Culture!
