Prog duo Centric Jones has announced the March 6th release of its second album titled ‘The Antikythera Method‘, on Prog Rock Records. The band is influenced by progressive rock legends UK, Yes and King Crimson, as well as hard rock bands like Rush and Porcupine Tree and heavy metal band Dream Theater.
Centric Jones includes Chris Fournier and Tobe London, accompanied by an eclectic set of revolving musical guests. Chris plays bass, guitars, keyboards and electronic percussion, and Tobe plays drums, acoustic/electronic percussion and keyboards. Fournier and London met in 2007 and discovered a shared goal: to create songs that broke through musical boundaries without sacrificing feel and an emotional connection to the audience. Centric Jones released a critically acclaimed debut CD ‘Foreign Tea‘. When asked if there was a concept behind the new Centric Jones album Tobe had this to say: “I’ve always had a fascination with mechanical devices and gizmos. Of particular interest to me is the Antikythera mechanism – the ancient Greek mechanical computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. I’d like to go on and on about the thing, given the fact that it predates anything like it by about a thousand years. The most fascinating aspect of it for me would be its inherent rhythm. I picture all those handmade gears turning and churning in an amazing visual if not audible display of polyrhythmic wonder. Centric Jones loves to apply this as much as we can to our music. We call it The Antikythera Method.” In support of their new CD release, Fournier and London are currently putting together a live show consisting of some of their favorite album songs combined with improvisations and some theatrics. The duo plan on performing locally on the Front Range of Northern Colorado in addition to some of the progressive rock festivals going on in the U.S. and elsewhere during the summer of 2012. They are also implementing a new recording setup in Tobe’s studio in order to more directly compose and trade tracks together. 1. Crushed (4:22) Download album or mirror 421 views
One of Kory Clarke's paintings featured in the artwork on this here cd is a 5x3 canvas of the Union Jack with the slogan 'God Shag The Queen' emblazoned across it. That's how punk rock he is and how much he doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. Always passionate and controversial whether it be his music, his art or his political views the Warrior Soul frontman has never been one to stand in the shadows, preferring to shout from the highest point to anyone who will listen. 'Opium Hotel II' is a collaboration with some of Kory's friends and artists such as Gary Hood who wrote the fantastic title track from the first 'Opium Hotel' album. He also wrote and played guitar here on the similar 'Masquerade Party' a simple, almost desolate sounding acoustic track that puts across a feeling of loneliness, it stands apart from the rest as did 'Opium Hotel' on the original. 'Opium Hotel II' like its predecessor is an outlet for all the stuff that doesn't fit in the Warrior Soul shaped hole, more experimental and arty. Lyrically he is still spitting at the USA and the government, that will never change until they make him president I reckon. The album opens with 'A Message From Mr. Harris' a Government public announcement tape about recognising the early warning signs of drug dependancy, this segues into 'Best Birthday Ever' the first of several of his trademark spoken word pieces, this one shows the more gentle side of Kory's lyrics First song proper 'America's New Cunt' is a verbal tirade describing Corporate America as a 200 year old bikini wearing slut,"Who's the new slut, America's new cunt" is the refrain, guaranteeing Kory no new friends in the government, not that he would want any! It ends with a "come on...CUNT" - who else can get away with stuff like that? 'Kiss On This' harks back to 'Space Age Playboys' era Warrior Soul; a fantastic slice of sleazy, punk rock it's fast and furious - I can listen to stuff like this all day. Lucky for me there is more of the same in the shape of 'Super Drug'; incidentally Kory plays the drums on both these tracks. 'Junky Stripper' is a dumb ass rock song, with a Rob Zombie like vibe, and there's nothing wrong with that. Of the spoken word material 'I'm Your Pilot' stands out, with trippy beats as his back up Kory takes the helm and addresses his passengers - take his trip over Manhattan if you dare; let's just say it's an unnerving, bumpy ride. The atmospheric and acoustic driven 'It's My Time', with its short and sweet twin guitar solo, and the tripped out 'Painting Space Ships', are more like vintage Warrior Soul to me. The only oddity that doesn't really do it for me at this early stage of listening is 'Paradigm', but only time will tell. The production varies from track to track but it doesn't feel disjointed, it's a departure from the Warrior Soul albums for sure. An interesting collection of material; I guess it's a snapshot in a year of the life of Kory Clarke, and one that is well worth exploring. On the cover of this cd it says "Parental Advisory: This Recording Contains Art" - a subtle dig at the powers that be and freedom of speech, it sure does contain art in many forms. Fans of Kory Clarke will love it as will fans of Warrior Soul, many others may scratch their heads and say "what the fuck?"...job done I believe. www.facebook.com/koryclarke 01.

We have in our hands the first national launch of 2012. This is the eponymous debut album of the quintet Arkgabriel Madrid, a young band that shows in this issue an undisguised affection for melodic power metal and epic orchestral tints eleven cuts created mostly during the past 2011, but the last two CD dated to 2009. And certainly notice the difference between them, but curiously have pleased me more than the couple of older songs that I find in the strongest terms and freshness in the other nine most recent that I find somewhat hollow and artificial, despite show a clear evolution in their complexity and both compositional and instrumental technique. Besides the five members of the band could be considered almost as a sixth member of the same Sergio Canovas, lead singer of the Order of Kaos that besides producing the disc correctly puts his deep voice with the staff and pompous of Juanky Alvarez on the topic "I feel," one of the cuts that I liked for his good vocal and instrumental melodies into a good rhythm changes creating a winning combination of power and melodic progressive metal that reminds me slightly soft to the longing Ankhara. Some Ankhara also represented on disk by the presence of vocalist currently Hybris, Pacho Brea, sharing vocal duties with the Justito Juanky and predictable "Miserable" good with outstanding guitar melodies Rasquin Giscard clearly on a power metalera but not as unequivocal as is his letter full of rage and anger, which is not to say that Jose Ramon Morales bassist and drummer Alberto Lopez do evil, but do not sound all that requires aggressive message.Completes the trio of collaborations with Dani Aller, Ars Amandi singer who takes his spot with his dull voice and flute arrangements folkie proper court as "My Last Sin" always on a power line and even metalera something sinister dark by the use of keyboards by Javier Hidalgo. In addition to the aforementioned "feel" the song that I liked from that of 2011 was "Is there anybody there?" Cut less pompous, more direct but not without attention to detail of keys and guitars, and shows Juanky voice somewhat forced. One detail that's too baroque vocal in my opinion I do make quite heavy at times melodic themes as the overriding rhythm "Acrobat" or the more lilting symphony and live "Navigator" which opens the album. Less pretentious and serious but I find in the nostalgic and sad "You're Still Here" quite monotonous feeling but in the harsh and gloomy "World of Pain", and the romantic ballad "You" adorned by a tormented arrangements Juanky orchestral itself that stand above its sustained, deep voice. Left for the final issues of 2009 have definitely been the ones I have arrived. This is the emphatic and convincing "a bet" with a live rhythm bordering on thrash mostly by the sound of guitar and percussion without losing melody and heavy substance, and the soft "With Name Woman" that wraps the warm soft voice guitars Juanky to be growing in their instrumentation with a beautiful and intense guitar solo that breaks away briefly relaxed sugarcane. If these guys are able to properly mix your current technical quality with the strength and dynamism of the beginning I think they can start earning a metalhead staff consideration, for now I offer more insights than certainties, to continue working hard on that I think there's potential. 1.

Venice Beach, California (USA) crossover thrashers Beowülf are self-releasing their sixth album on December 23, 2011, entitled Jesus Freak, produced by founding member, vocalist/guitarist Dale Henderson and ex-FEAR FACTORY guitarist, Christian Olde Wolbers. The tracks were cut at LiL’ Antwerp Studioz and Wolbers is credited as the engineer. It’s been a long time since the early breakout of this band during the mid 80?s from the legendary “Venice Scene”. They had their first album produced by ST’s Mike Muir and released via Suicidal Records. Flash forward to now, after several lineup changes, and this reviewer finds that Dale and the boys can still bring it with the best of them. Former ST bassist Louiche Mayorga is even thrown into the mix here, so any fan of the old school, true grit feel of “Taste The Steel” will simply love what they are throwing down today. Personally, I think Dale Henderson has grown as a performer over the years and continues to push the envelope with his completely unique style of singing and songwriting. While others just go the safe route, this guy has always been daring, somehow managing to keep the Beowülf sound ‘real’ from a street perspective. However, let it be known that Henderson and Beowülf’s music has morphed over time into a much more serious and grown-up statement. The drum work from Rich Rowan here is solid. As always, Henderson’s guitar playing is mean as hell sounding… snarling punk-fast riffs, cutting to the nerve of its listener like a cold metal blade pierced into someone’s throat. My favorite songs are the totally rocking “Mad Man” and the absolutely stellar “Front Door Smoking”. On the latter I dig the way the bass line starts out alone and then Henderson’s guitar comes thundering in. Forget punk rock… that’s just plain metal. All in all, I am just stoked as hell that Beowülf is still going after all this time, and this reviewer seriously hopes everyone gives Jesus Freak a shot, because it’s a clever rocker indeed. 01.
