Centinex - With Guts and Glory - Silver - VINYL LP

While retaining the thoroughly modern post-bop aesthetic they cultivated over their first 3 recordings, the Halifax-based trumpeter Paul Tynan and baritone saxophonist Aaron Lington from San Jose, CA, decided to tackle the hard-bop organ band for their latest. Joining them on 7 original compositions are guitarist Jake Hanlon, organist Tony Genge, and drummer Terry O'Mahoney. Through their composition and improvisation, the Bicoastal Collective creates engaging and passionate music. InchEach complements the other in just the right way, while still showing a true command of his instrument with a very studied and soulful essence.Inch - International Trumpet Guild.Inch... fresh and vibrant...

Centinex, the Swedish death metal legends, have returned with their most ferocious and uncompromising offering yet. Guts And Glory is a raw, high-energy album that ditches the excess and focuses on what matters unrelenting riffs, d-beats, and thrash-infused aggression. Stripping away atmospheric frills and polished production, Centinex return to their roots with a sound that combines the ferocity of early death metal with the urgency of punk. Whether it's the punishing gallop of the riffs or the blazing d-beat drum patterns, this album is an all-out sonic assault - as fast as it is brutal, with no time to spare. InchCentinex continue to deliver what only they can fast, brutal death metal with punk energy that hits like a freight train. If you loved the aggression of old-school death and thrash, this is for you.Inch The band pushes themselves to the edge, delivering 8 tracks of relentless, stripped-back death metal that kicks you in the teeth from the first note to the last. It's not pretty, it's not supposed to be. It is pure, raw aggression, and it's exactly what the underground has been craving.

THE SILVER make their Gilead Media debut with the album Ward of Roses. A record that is at once extreme and exposed, horrific yet beautiful, Ward of Roses explores anxiety, love, loss, and the matters that make us all too human.From InchFirst UtteranceInch to InchThen SilenceInch the curtain rises and falls on a haunting tableau of human frailty, a romantic and visceral exploration of the dark recesses of the soul. Featuring members of Horrendous and Crypt Sermon, Ward of Roses marks a decidedly different path for the musical collective. An album that deals in blast beats as much as romanticism, Ward of Roses progresses through movements that draw from black metal, goth rock, and other bleak expressions.V's soaring clean vocals mingle with cathartic guitars while vocalist Nick Duchemin howls over strident blast passages often in the same song. THE SILVER's ethos alludes to metallurgy. Silver can only reach it's intended shape, state, and purpose when hammered, set ablaze, and struck again. As the hymns of Ward of Roses suggest, we are tempered through all of our life experiences and traumas, emerging only after we have leapt through the flames of our personal abysses....
