Machinefabriek With Drums (2021)

As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock – perhaps the pioneer in the ears of some – Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s, a hard-edged, cutting tone, and phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock, and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences.

Paint The Sky With Blood - An homage and final salute to three decades of explosive metalOn April 23, 2021, melodic death metal pillar BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHTwill release their new EP, Paint The Sky With Blood, via Napalm Records. Paint The Sky With Bloodwas recorded in Finland back in 2020 and was meant to be the beginning of an exciting new chapter that sadly ended far too soon. The three-track offering is an impressive, overwhelming sonic tribute to an absolute legend of the metal scene – matchless late guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho – and atthe same time, a modern homage to the genre itself. A storm of raging guitars and blaring drums merge with Laiho’s versatile vocal power, leading into a heavyattack – title track “Paint The Sky With Blood” – opening the 14 minute EP. With Paint The Sky With Blood, BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT hold the sceptre of metal in their hands, bestowing an impressive fragment of their inimitable legacy.
