TIMELINE


From the north shore of the Black Sea in Ukraine....hard hitting midpaced SXE hardcore knows no boundaries, no borders. Melodic and melancholic, TIMELINE create tension with their almost casual approach, never unleashing but always teetering right on the edge with spoken/shouted vocals expectant and fierce. There are only four tracks here, and I confess that it took two of them for me to really lock into what TIMELINE were up to...but the power of technology makes repeat listens effortless, and I've listened to "Fume" five times this morning. So far.

GROMM


When my narrow little uneducated mind first heard black metal, this is what I thought it all sounded like. A grating presentation of haunting melodies with demonic little hobbit vocals? Yes, that's what I thought all the shit sounded like. I know I was wrong and I know that the genre has a limitless well of aural offerings....but still I keep venturing back to these sounds. This is the first offering from Ukraine's GROMM, a 2004 demo that shows them at their most primitive. Choice track: "Time's Dust Upon Millstones Of Eternity." See what I mean?
