Navigating the labyrinthine landscape of metal, where genres often collide in a mesmerizing symphony of controlled chaos, Seven Against Thebes (7AT) emerges as a commanding force of orchestrated pandemonium. Their 2011 debut LP, “Seven Against Thebes,” is a transcendent sonic journey that boldly defies the constraints of conventional metal, seamlessly fusing an East-meets-West production ethos

A spell of fleeting string melodies. Gilt vocals that intertwine with contiguous instrumental harmonies. A rhythm that strikes just hard enough to make our hearts bolt right out of our chests yet falls short of tiring us out ahead of the next song.

One of the qualities of Christian-themed musical material that stands out for me is that it’s often created by men and women who have faced adversity and are full of optimism despite those travails. Coppe Cantrell has definitely faced hard times. Her husband, music producer and all-around mover and shaker Johnny Jackson, aka Johnny “J”,

The southern rock genre has been coming back in a really big way this year, and in Greye’s new single “Down Not Out,” we learn why in a very big way. By keeping things centered on a smart formula in “Down Not Out,” a band like Greye can direct all of our attention towards the

The path ahead for Littlemen follows a distinctly different trajectory than previous incarnations existing under this moniker. The Nick Allen-led iteration of the band’s new single “Visions” solidifies his claim to helming one of the U.K.’s best new syntheses of English and American influences I’ve heard in quite a while. “Visions” stands as one of

One thing is for sure if nothing else – ViennaCC does things his way, consequences be damned. His singles are like nothing else you’ll hear in pop music today and the newest track “When the Cats Come Out” is no different. I appreciate the rambunctious and uncompromising attack he summons for the single. It’s dance-pop, without

No matter who you ask in the industry or where you look, there’s no denying that 2023 has been an exceptionally different year for folk music. It’s like the volume has been turned down and all of what would be the most talked about groups in the United States are more interested in going soft

I’m definitely a fan of how the creative minds behind LVCRFT handle writing a holiday-themed song. There are some listeners who will decide within seconds that they’re hearing a gimmick tune. An attentive listener, however, will hear how producer/songwriter and engineer Peter Wade, songwriter Amanda Warner, and third creative mastermind Evan Bogart breathe magic into V’s

Harry Hochman’s first solo album Inside Out promises to be one of the year’s most fulfilling releases. The title song and first single from the effort promises that alone. “Inside Out” is an invigorating and well-written nod to the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter’s influences. “Inside Out” invokes echoes of songwriters such as Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, Neil Young,

Ava Della Pietra isn’t just a pretty face. Yes, she’s undoubtedly easy on the eyes, but she’s also a multi-instrumentalist, dynamic singer, and an able writer unafraid to pen her material and lead with it rather than leaning on a bevy of pop song hit doctors to concoct cookie-cutter songs unconnected to her experience. She’s

A seemingly perfect rhythm surrounds fusion tones dressed in the rich melodicism of soul. There’s a pendulousness here, but it’s yet to reveal itself in the strength of the beat. In the center of it all is a soul-driven vocal courtesy of Ashley Hess that could crush just about anything that gets in its path.

Accenting the gilt harmonies with an edge that is strangely as idyllic as the straight-up acoustic parts are, the fretwork in the new single “Rolling Over Me” from Eddie Berman is indeed the perfect complement to our singer’s pipes When he’s got the microphone in front of him in the studio, Berman is a hard

Alias Wayne’s new single “Ms Mystery” is like a musical missive composed at three a.m. in dim light and with the room full of smoke. You can see the blood and feel the flames of human history splattering and charring every passage. This new song from the pen of Ranzel X. Kendrick, otherwise known as

It’s fair to say that Marc Miner is a bit of an outlaw. Ostracized from America, Miner has long since relocated to Vienna, Austria where he’s carved out a reputation as one of the most convincing purveyors of rough-hewn Americana working today. His 2020 debut Smile When You’re Wasted served notice that his songwriting would always exist

Instrumental depth undeniably matters as much as lyrical perspective does when it comes to making a thoughtful rock n’ roll record no matter the era in discussion, and there’s no getting around the way Alex Lopez prioritizes it in his new album Looking for a Change. Rather than centering all of his prowess on the elegant
