ALBUM REVIEW: Cave of Swimmers – Aurora


Cave of Swimmers’ first album isn’t much longer than the two EPs they’ve previously released, just barely hitting thirty-two minutes long. However, Aurora (BroomTune Records) serves as a dramatic leap forward for the Miami duo. The songs are rooted in the same hyperactive Heavy Psych last seen with 2015’s Reflection but there is more time devoted to exploring their more in-your-face influences.

Orbweaver Recruit Ex-Trivium Nick Augusto As New Drummer


orbweaver

Miami hallucinatory metal collective Orbweaver has recruited Nick Augusto (ex-Trivium/Maruta) as their new drummer. Currently immersed in the pre-production stages of their next album, tentatively titled Hexagram 23, at Shadowlit Studios, Augusto’s authoritative drum style and sense of musical adventure adds a new creative dimension to Orbweaver’s already eclectic brand of pummel.

Comments Augusto of uniting with band,

“I’m happy to have been asked to be a part Orbweaver. We have all played shows with each other’s bands in the past and have been friends in this scene for quite some time now. I’ve jammed with [guitarist/vocalist] Randy [Piro] before, so the timing was right when we got a hold of each other to join forces and write new material. Looking forward to what this new CD and the future holds for Orbweaver!”

The band has these upcoming shows booked:

Mar 26: Churchill’s Pub – Miami, FL (w /Mutilation Rites, Mantar)
Apr 03: Churchill’s Pub – Miami, FL (w/ Insatanity, Koroidia)
May 08: Churchill’s Pub – Miami, FL (w/ Cave Of Swimmers (CD release), Cave Of Swimmers)
