Gimme Radio Program Director, Brian Turner, delivers the top 5 jaw-dropping tracks on Gimme Radio.
WARBRINGER – The Black Hand Reaches Out
Another track from the forthcoming 'Weapons of Tomorrow' finds John Kevill and company induces some Exodus-inspired necksnap and the vocal mix is as sick as you hoped. Video references the Serbian militarist group that assassinated Franz Ferdinand and in essence started WWI. Look out for Warbringer soon for a guest DJ special on Gimme.
WITCHCRAFT – Elegantly Expressed Depression
This band's inception in 2000 immediately changed the definition of what classic-rock-soaked metal could be. Were they ever metal? Magnus Pelander definitely worshipped at the Bobby Liebling altar, but Roky Erickson too. And the new album is completely acoustic. Drenched in reverb, it's a lonely, beautiful affair, channeling darkness as much as light. Acoustic Zep/R. Plant comparisons will abound, and surely suck in some new listeners, but this is elegantly unique music and Witchcraft continue to stun.
OMEGA INFINITY – Saturn
Black metal from the deep cosmos, courtesy of Ne Obliviscaris vocalist Xenor as well as multi-instrumentalist Tentaktel P. of Todtgelichter. Fast and furious blasts, flanked by chiming keyboards from some vast faraway chasm, galloping kraut rhythms, blankets of etheriality amidst heavy chaos.
WEREWOLVES – Know Your Place
Psycroptic and Bezerker members aligned, total Australia blitz of hyper-tech-death insanity.
HUMAN IMPACT – November
After debuting in Brooklyn last summer, huge buzz over the hometown heroes' new band, featuring Chris Spencer (Unsane, now kaput), Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), Chris Pravdica (Xiu Xiu, Swans) and Phil Puleo (Cop Shoot Cop, Swans). If you have any trepidation about 90's noise rock hounds moving along in 2020 stirring up the soup, you can move along as well. Continued addressing of what makes music 'heavy' while avoiding the pitfalls of defined convention.
