Death By Horsecock - Azraël

Death By Horsecock - Azraël
Et Pourtant




This album makes me feel alone, and that I'm hurtling through space safely encased in an energy field. I don't know where I'm going, or if I'm going at all; and I don't care.

mix electronics with field recordings and other audio samples that will play tricks on your mind. Azraël plays out more like one long song instead of the twelve that are listed. At first listen it falls in to the category of ambient-noise; upon further exploration, however, one comes to find themselves lost in the dense, acrid emptiness of a soundtrack to an existence in the cold of space.

This record is spooky at times, but mostly it's just an odyssey of mostly epic proportions into a world of cosmic bounty.

This album is for fans of... drugs.

Their Myspace stuff has Mediafire links to all recordings.

Cloudkicker - Let Yourself Be Huge

Cloudkicker - Let Yourself Be Huge
Independent




Cloudkicker is a post-metal project that stands head and shoulders above most of its contemporaries; only, B.M. Sharp is just one person. His output is prolific to say the least, and his style is varied. One minute it's a slowed down acoustic riff, the next it's a barrage of tone that leaves your ear searching for the route you took into this land, and unable to find it, the mind relaxes and starts to drift. Exclusively instrumental, epic, monstrous and grand, Cloudkicker will not disappoint fans of post-metal or progressive music in general.

Let Yourself Be Huge is a far more subdued mathy album from Cloudkicker. Past albums have had an almost assaulting feel from front to back; walls of guitar were the norm. LYBH, however, has opened up a softer side of Sharp's writing and recording style. I recommend this album if you're a fan of cheap red wine, cigarettes and writing poetry alone in a darkened room.
