Savaging Spires - Savaging Spires - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ryley Walker - Lillywhite Sessions [VINYL LP] date 11/16/2018

Highly anticipated 2013 debut from the British all-female quartet who play music with scything energy and brutal power. Recorded with Rodaidh McDonald (The xx), the album is an 11-track, 38-minute masterpiece. Limned in black and white but containing a swell of different emotions within it's self-imposed strictures, the songs cover topics from masochism (InchHit MeInch), urban dread (InchCity's FullInch), materialism, possessiveness and the experience of being a woman (InchHusbands,Inch InchI Am HereInch). Everyone is delivered with fierce conviction and concision.

Eleine is releasing their self-titled 2017 debut album physically worldwide for the first time. InchMore often than not, evil lingers in the promise of goodInch. This is what Eleine is saying with their album Eleine. There will always be someone promising prosperity and utopia, when in actuality all you do is aid the beast in fulfilling it's own goals. A comforting voice, that hiss of tender words, convincing you to not open your eyes. Symphonic metal needs to be strong to survive - and Eleine demonstrates the evolving nature of the genre - with some thrillingly beautiful vocals, majestic musical mastery, iridescent invention and awe-inspiring ambition.
