Potential Threat SF - Civilization Under Threat - Album Review

One could be forgiven to assume that when a band called Potential Threat SF, and write good solid songs like Day of Infamy, Enemy Within are a breed of bands that see the world as it is or could be.

Coming into recent times Potential Threat SF release Civilization Under Threat continues with their brand of well-crafted heavy metal songs of the same nature such as The Threat of Things to Come, Behold the End and Rise of the Apocalypse, gives you an idea of what's on this album.

This power metal trio, which expanded a few years ago to a four piece and are now legendary veterans, are very good, and I like many of us in our office wonder why such talent doesn’t get recognised more.
 
So, if your taste leans to the heavy side then you’ll like what these guys do, and do it well!

Skies Turn Black - EP Review

Skies Turn Black self-titled EP release is a six-track collection of hard rock with metal leanings, especially in the drumming department.

1. Smoke & Mirrors
2. Life Goes On
3. Cold
4. Play The Game
5. Choking On Air
6. Departure

Expect to hear lots of guitar virtuoso playing, solid riffs and interestingly you can actually hear the bass, which goes well with the drums. The vocals you can actually hear what the song is about.

As far as the song material it ranges from deception, getting besotted and being given the runaround, delusionment, being put into your place, oppression and consuming way too much oxygen than you need!

Skies Turn Black EP is available through Apple Music

Seep Away - Seep Away - EP Review

Seep Away have released their self titled debut EP.

Though their sound is loud and full of distorted heavy metalist guitars and bass they have a certain attitude reminiscent of take this or die! 

The three tracks are different as Trudge hits the hardest meanest sound, you imagine you're stuck in a swamp with just a pair of oars and facing down the schnoz of an alligator, great! But it's a case of lock-up your wives or if you're rich enough your bitches, cos' these dogs are in town.

Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right has probably the longest instrumental intro with the lyrics starting at 1:58, into this southern slouch of a track.

Last up is Watch You Burn that has more underground grunge guitar that melts a common theme among the heavy metal scene.

Seep Away capture their raw no-nonsense sound well on their recordings, and you get a sense that if, when, and how you see them live they've got that reciprocal energy that you get just playing their music at home.

Seep Away is available @ Bandcamp 

Tor Marrock & Coco Star - A Christmas Night - Single Review

Tor Marrock & Coco Star duet on A Christmas Night produces a great alternative to the usual Christmas songs.

This song has a counterbalance theme between two very different vocalists, to the spiritual sound that has been created around Tor Marrock & Coco Star.
