The Birthday Massacre

The Birthday Massacre are a fun little Synthrock group I got into a year or so ago while looking for music to play at a friend's birthday party. Days after the birthday party, I realized I still had their 2007 album Walking with Strangers still sitting on my computer, and decided to give it a listen, assuming that I probably wouldn't like it.
I was very, very, wrong.
The second after the first song was over, I began searching for their other material, and after hearing all of it, I realized I really enjoyed this group, bought their latest album, and introduced them to my friends. The Birthday Massacre, as I said, are a very fun and enjoyable group, and yes, granted, they have a female singer which appeals to many male/female teenagers, but you find yourself looking beyond their lead singer and focus on the band as a whole.
Enjoy.

Kerosene 454 - At Zero

When I first bought this album about 6 years ago I couldn't keep it out of the tape player. Every morning on my paperoute this thing was in the cassette player wreaking of rock and roll goodness! This was really the album that set off my quest for great and unique music which with its quirky songs such ass "Who was in my room last night", "The Annoying Song", "The Wooden Song", "Ballad of a Naked Man" and so many more. Most have heard a bit of the surfers before but to me this album is their greatest achievement and I hope that it will find a place in your heart like it has mine. Anyway... Lets rock.

Jacula - In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum

Jacula was born in 1968, the spawn of occultist Antonio Bartoccetti. A few things you can gather right off the bat from the album cover is that the music you will hear will be dark in nature, something like out of a nightmare, and that's exactly what is achieved. The music is mostly led by guitars and a church organ, leading you into skin-crawling territory, I recommend listening at night for extra creep factor.

Flood of Fuzz

Here we go! Prepare yourself for an onslaught of sold riffs that blow you away and keep your head bobbing four hours after the music is over. Only one way I can describe this album. Fuuuuuuzzzzzz. Fuck the treble setting, slap that guitar into rhythm and lets kick out some beefy jams that cause the earth to shake. Dozer - In the Tail of a Comet is to me an essential for any Friday night weed binge or just simply listen, lay back, relax and lets float around in this fuzz filled void of astral serenity.

I'm feeling lazy do I'm just going to say this; Robbie Basho is a fingerpicking god, Robbie Basho´s albums span everything from classical European artistry to songs of the Old West -he wove his Hindu, Chinese and Japanese scales and moods and Persian, Arabic or American Indian themes, this album is a perfect example of just that.

Isaïah - Demo

I'll keep this short and simple. Amazing Screamo (with some Post Rock influences) band from Belgium. They can be described as being in the same vein of Et Tu Brute, La Quiete, & others. In other words, they have a very melodic chaotic sound to them with instrumental interludes between songs. Good shit guys.

Life Toward Twilight - Website

Life Toward Twilight
Genre: Darkwave/Ambient

Initially I thought this sounded a bit dodgy – a song such as “Zombie Infestation” sounds like it belongs with the goregrind Gumps and consequently, I expected a rather lowbrow electric counterpart. My initial thoughts proved to be mistaken, as they seem to evoke, rather than celebrate horror through their music. If that is not too generous a term, as no conventional instruments are utilised; instead, a creepy and disquieting atmosphere is generated through a litany of carefully orchestrated sound effects, including blowing wind, tortured steel rumblings and opening doors. Well, some vocals are present on “Yurei” but this consists entirely of some chanting by a trained female voice, but even this sole human effect is comparatively subdued, and I missed it on my first listen, taking it to be some synth work. Although the placement of various sounds are not random, the division into five songs does seem somewhat arbitrary, as apart form segueing into each other, they are pretty similar to each other – similar enough to be considered as essentially five components of one 17 minute track.

Life Toward Twilight’s inspiration appears to be Japanese horror and games such as Silent Hill and HP Lovecraft. The result is a creepy and ominous atmosphere, which would be a perfecta accompaniment to a PS3 game such as Resident Evil or the aforementioned Silent Hill.They seem to have recognised that this approach could be exhausted very quickly, hence the short songs on this mini –album- the longest last for 4:25, perfect for an inane pop ditty, but normally a liability for atmospheric ambiance.

Overall, effective as an experimental and atmospheric mini-album, but it is not something that could be sustained over the course of a full-length and thus clearly not something they should or could build their career upon.
