Ocean Sleeper - Peace When I'm Dead - Limited Digipak - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2018 . Hailing from Malmö, Sweden, four piece thrash metal unit Dead Sleep have finally released their debut album In the Belly of the Beast on Denomination Records. The album contains 10 tracks of raging energy, addictive hooks and uncompromising lyrics. Dead Sleep forge their special brand of music in between the chaotic aggression of hardcore punk and the bombast of metal. Their sound picks the best from both old and new, falling into a strong tradition of '80ss thrash metal while infusing it with a contemporary feel. Homage is paid to the NWOBHM legacy and there may be nods at black and death metal, but the core lies firmly in classic thrash, with strong guitar riffs at the center, relentlessly propelling the tunes forward.

Since the discovery of DEATH in 2008 and the of the archival LP... For The Whole World To See, the story has been often told. Three African-American brothers, DAVID, DANNIS and BOBBY HACKNEY, tapped into the surging energy of their hometown rock-and-roll scene (mid-70s Detroit) to produce a style and a set of songs that, while completely unappreciated in their day, proved later to be a powerful missing link in the evolution of punk rock. All this was predicted by their leader, older brother David, on his deathbed, ten years before their rediscovery. His stubborn insistence on keeping the name Death instead of signing a record contract under a more palatable name is, in itself, a defining act of true rebellion. The power, precision and passion of the music says everything else that need be said. It has been an EPIC time since 2008 Death began playing live again to large and grateful audiences, meanwhile issuing two additional archival records, Spiritual-Mental-Physical, and Death III. The of the documentary A Band Called Death took the band farther into the public consciousness than it appeared even the music could, and Death followed the paths to more and more listeners, eventually bringing their explosive show all around the world. During this time, the question always asked was, Will there be a new record? Now, there literally is, and Death and Drag City are proud to bring it to you, entitled simply N.E.W. Inspired by the positivity brought to them by ever-increasing numbers of new fans, the current performing Death (Bobby Hackney, Dannis Hackney, and Bobbie Duncan) completed several songs started back in the late 1970s by Bobby and David, as well as composing entirely new songs that continue the timeless vibe, feel and resolve of Death with remarkable drive and vigor. For many years after disbanding the original Death, Bobby and Dannis played different styles

Following the ever-emotive Boo Boo, Toro y Moi's new album Outer Peace is a time capsule that captures our relationship to contemporary culture into one comprehensive, sonic package. As both a producer and designer, Chaz Bear utilizes abstract sound pairings with recognizable samples for his most pop influenced record to date, including features from ABRA, WET, and Instupendo. This is no departure from his funk and disco roots, which can be heard on InchOrdinary Pleasure,Inch later fusing into variations of house with tracks like InchFreelanceInch and InchLaws of the Universe.Inch Smooth interludes melt into fast paced beats, paralleling the feeling of driving through the Bay Area, where Bear spent most of his time writing the album. Outer Peace is duality. It embodies whatever form you choose to inhabit in the moment. Listen and let your imagination become the universe.
