Review: Rhode Island post-metal avant-garde duo The Body have made a name for themselves due to their caustic maelstrom of harsh, brutalist experimentalism as well as their prolific output and collaborative nature, releasing collab albums with the likes of Full Of Hell, Thou, Uniform, and most recently, Dis Fig. Their latest endeavour sees the pair link up with another duo of musical extremity, Toronto, Canada's recently reformed industrial two-piece Intensive Care. Was I Good Enough? has been on the cards since the artists first began making plans as far back as 2018, trading, warping and ruining mutual sessions with layers of loops, distortion, samples and even dubs, constantly striving to find the ideal haunting balance between both of their sonically hideous, oppressive worlds. For all of our ears' sakes, they just might have succeeded.
Review: Talisman were a Swedish metal band founded in 1989 by bassist Marcel Jacob, whose charismatic core formed the basis of a melodic, urgent sound. Beset by tragedies in the late noughts - Jacob's health issues and suicide, and the band's eventual split - their various LPs have garnered much credo over the years and especially posthumously to Jacob's death. Genesis and Five Out Of Five all are the fan favourites, but it's their debut self-titled record from 1989 which cut an early mustard, with the arresting lead single 'I'll Be Waiting' wrenching the attentions of hard rock fans worldwide away, god forbid, from lesser acts. What's more, this anniversary edition from original pressers Sunhill includes two previously unreleased instrumental tracks, further marking out the anniversary brilliance of a tragic act.
Review: Although forming in 1987, the initial tenure of New York City hard rock heroes Tyketto was a simple case of wrong place, wrong time. 1991's debut album Don't Come Easy was a moderate success, boasting the hit single 'Forever Young' and taking them on the road with Whitesnake, but by the time they would submit their second full-length to Geffen Records, it would be outright rejected due to label's increasing interest with the grunge scene and a desire to leave "hair metal" and all of its intersecting genres in the 80s. With a myriad of lineup changes, even featuring Steve Augeri on vocals for a spell before his time in Journey, the band would eventually dissolve until 2004. One reunion tour would lead to another, and as of 2025, they're still playing shows, with the vast majority in attendance likely there to hear the barrage of bangers this overlooked AOR-meets-glam metal debut offers.
