Posted on by

From the fuzzy guitars and the distorted, feedback-esque noises of ‘Pessimist’ you know what you are going to get from Deathchant. This Los Angeles based four-piece have just released their self-titled debut album (King Volume Records) and it does indeed deal in Psychedelic Rock with a heavy Stoner vibe, supplemented by the occasional flirtation with Metal – not too dissimilar from North Carolina’s ASG.Continue reading →


Various Artists – The Wall Redux

Posted on by

Like the noble slice of pizza, a cover song, if done well, can be amazing. And if it’s not, it’s still pretty good. It’s tough to cover well-known songs and albums by famous bands because music becomes our lexicon and fans know every little nook and cranny of a track. This is the case with Pink Floyd and their iconic double album The Wall. Luckily Magnetic Eye Records and their incredible “Redux” series is here, and they always do a bang-up job of assembling the talent. Covering the entirety of The Wall seems both ambitious and a little crazy too. While The Wall is lower on my personal list of Floyd favorites, it’s as important as it is beloved by the masses.

UPDATED: Carlos Denogean, Drummer For Weedeater, Salvación And ASG Has Died

Posted on by

Another terrible loss has hit the music world as acclaimed drummer Carlos Denogean has passed away. Weedeater announced Carlos’ passing via Facebook. Carlos is best known as the most recent drummer for Weedeater, where he made an immediate impact for the band since 2017 as the replacement for Travis Owen, who stepped down from the group due to health issues. Carlos also played in power metal band Salvación, Beard of Antlers and ASG. A resident of Wilmington, North Carolina, Carlos originally hailed from Hawaii. He was a powerful drummer, but the mark he left on people was apparently equally as powerful, evidenced by the few times we met him. We send our condolences to Carlos’ family, friends and fans right now. Rest in Power, Carlos. Continue reading →
