While horror-themed music is represented in almost every musical genre, a good deal of it resides in the “punk” or “metal” category. Yes, horror-rap is available (horrorcore rapper Necro, for starters, and I think there may be a group that consists of rapping clowns, but I’m not sure…), and horror-themed surf is readily available (check out Thee Cormans for an excellent example, then maybe move on to The Bomboras or The Ghastly Ones), but horror-country? It’s not really a genre mash-up that’s been properly explored. Sure, there’s a ton of psychobilly available, but when it comes to honest-to-God country and bluegrass horror-themed music, there aren’t very many choices. The Unknown Hinson (of Squidbillies fame) is an obvious source for some great tunes, and Jesse Dayton’s alter ego Captain Clegg & The Night Creatures (formed specifically for Rob Zombie’s Halloween II) is another band worth a few listens. Getting down to the real nitty-gritty, though, it seems like this brand of horror music never found that one defining band that could serve as the face for the genre. This may all change with the rise of The Bloody Jug Band and their first, full-length LP Coffin Up Blood.

Biography MELDRUM is a multinational hard rock/metal band that has toured worldwide with Lemmy Kilmister's Motörhead, Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, Sepultura, Danzig, Nashville Pussy, as well as sharing the stage with many more. Touting a combination of mammoth vocal styles along with aggressively melodic vocals, mind bending guitar riffs and a rhythm section that creates fiercely bombastic grooves, this is what gives MELDRUM their unique, cutting edge sound. Featuring a new lineup in 2008, their newest members include metal vocalist Michele Madden (Tourette's) and Laura Christine (Warface) on bass guitar. Michelle Meldrum, raised by parents in the entertainment business, began her career when she and drummer, Gene Hoglan, started their first band Wargod. Gene went on to notoriety with Death, Dark Angel, Testament, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad and many others, while Michelle founded Phantom Blue (on Shrapnel, Roadrunner, and Geffen Records). While her career was flourishing

On the heels of last years long-player, The Second Time Around, singer songwriter Tony Desimone offers an EP of five songs, As We Go 'Round the Sun. I almost took a pass on the EP until I noticed he was covering one of my favorite Elvi songs, Suspicious Minds. More on this in a moment.

The other four songs are original to Desimone. The offer his traditional excellent lyricism and easy light melodic rock sound. The title track is lighter fare. The Rapture and The Line on My Horizon more electric, with great female vocal accompaniment. Of the originals here, the former is likely my favorite track. U & I has some odd vocal intonation from Desimone.

Time: Progressive Rock/Metal
Info: Mp3, CBR 256 kbps
Info: 149 M?

The history of this band goes all the way back to the 1970s; however, MAGICAL KARMA is only the second album of the Hanover-based rock veterans, helmed by multi-instrumentalist Wieland Hofmeister. This album is also the last record to ever be graced with the vocals of Andrew MAC McDermott (Threshold, Sergeant Fury), who died last year at age 45. It is this voice that adds a very special tone to the lushly arranged hybrid of art-rock and prog metal. The music is complex, and at times, even overloaded, but MAC’s voice always serves as the rock in the surf, as the railing the listener can hang onto in this wild sea of eclecticism. MAGICAL KARMA is heavier than YARGOS’ previous output, but that new heaviness is actually quite becoming. Listen to the final mammoth track, “The Wolves Howled (And You Pray)” if you don’t believe me. MAGICAL KARMA is an album that requires patience, but it is also the powerful legacy of a great singer.

New release of Saratoga, which will not count as yet another, but as the third of the new training.

On a first listen, the disc is not easy, does not enter the first and leaves you feeling disappointed first. I must say, GREAT previous work of the band, I have become bored with many listeners. I think this is a bit otherwise. The guitar master Tony Hernando, have a multitude of shades and colors that are probably not of easy listening, but for lovers of art and the more elaborate compositions may shelling delight your ears for long.

The voice of Tete Novoa, is a reference already in this country, when adjectives seek other vocalists. Having already demonstrated its scope in terms of octaves and multiple records in this record, you note loose, not wanting to prove anything anymore, and therefore more comfortable. He has done an excellent job with the voices, without abusing acute, but of course, not without them.

Niko del Hierro, referring to the band, gives credit for demonstrating sound was voted best bassist in the country at different times, a title the other hand, is difficult to maintain given the a level that Spanish musicians have today: Sublime.
