Kalmen - Course Hex - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Shuffle Demons - Clusterfunk [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/17/2012

Elements collide, split, multiply, and generate energy. In similar fashion, the trio of vocalist and bassist Ben Flanagan, guitarist Mark Engles, and drummer Chris Robyn convene, congregate, and commune to power up Black Map. Their union teems with emotion and electricity-which the musicians in turn harness to craft hypnotically heavy anthems underscored by unpredictable musicality and undeniable hooks. Pivoting around a nimble balance of post-hardcore, alternative, and hard rock, they incite a reaction rooted in their longstanding chemistry on Hex. The guys have been on the same page since day one. The players had respectively come up in celebrated alternative bands with Mark in Dredg, Chris in Far, and Ben in The Trophy Fire, however, they unlocked a distinct sound upon forming Black Map during 2014. They captivated with... And We Explode [2014], In Droves [2017], and Melodoria [2022]. Along the way, the Northern California group tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by favorites such as InchRun Rabbit Run,Inch InchGold,Inch and InchNo ColorInch. At the top of 2024, they retreated to Southern California to record Hex with Saosin guitarist Beau Burchell behind the board as producer. Everyone locked into a clear and collective cohesive vision and in the end, Black Map's energy proves uncontainable.

The legendary Styggelse is back with their new album InchOffenders of the faithInch. A 9 track offensive Thrash/Black album that never rest and never compromise! With one foot in the grave and the other on the battlefield Styggelse put their energy level to the max! With tracks like InchPick up the paceInch, InchStonecoldInch, InchRitual MessInch and InchRoyal assInch this album will knock you unconscious and show the world that this Swedish devilry is very much alive and bad - tempered. Tune in, drink up and break your ears because this time there won't be any prisoners taken!!
