A fost lansat Asiluum - Experimental music netlabel, un proiect Costin Chioreanu / Marius Costache. Citam din declaratia de pe site:

“Asiluum […] It’s not a real clinic and not another hidden predator for your pockets. This is a non-profit “something” that promotes underground artists. Unlike other netlabels we also create content instead of just uploading it directly from the artist. That means we also help the artists “signed” to Asiluum to become full time doctors and provide them studio time.”

Pe site gasim o sectiune audio - “ear treatment”, una video - “eye treatment” si una “magazine”. Indrazneti si open-minded baietii astia, le uram bafta multa si stam un ochii lag deschisi si urechile ciulite in directia lor!… Ah, si Asiluum a fost lansat deja cu un produs: “Nightpray - Five Hours Before and Sometimes After“. Repede, repede, l-am descarcat si am dat peste o bijuterie dark-ambient-experimental.
Un prim proiect, in componenta caruia se regasesc membrii fondatori Asiluum plus niste colaboratori importanti…. Dodsheimgard (!!!) si Satanochio.

Clinica fiind deschisa, bolnavi, slava Domnului ha!ha!ha! gramada, cat mai multe medicamente 100% compensate, Asiluum!

“A Sense Of Purpose”. Asa se va numi noul album In Flames, ce va apare in aprilie prin Nuclear Blast. Masterizarea este gata, iar declaratiile - bla-bla-ul optimistic: “We are extremely happy with the end result and so proud of what we have achieved with the new album and can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

Cat sens va avea noua inregistrare, vom vedea. Noi, astia de la la b.lurb, glumim mult pe seama baietilor de la In Flames si a tentativei lor din ultimii ani de a se cobori cu orice pret la nivelul mainstream-ului…

Scurt, rapid, fara dureri:

“After a pretty tough month and some deep contemplation, I have decided to call it a day and check out of the Dødheimsgard asylum. The reasons for my departure are personal and I’d like them to stay that way. My work in DHG and on Supervillain has been a labour of love but, unfortunately, love, as Bukowski once said, can often be “like trying to carry a full garbage can on your back over a rushing river of piss.” I can only thank the rest of the band, especially Vicotnik and the fans, for their total support and dedication and for some of the best years of my life. As a fan of the band since I was young, I will continue to support DHG and I hope that you will do the same.

Metal til death

Auuuuu… Metallica. Cica noul album “nu va fi atat de unidimensional ca St. Anger”. Il citam pe Lars U., in Revolver Magazine:

“This stuff is certainly a lot more dynamic and a lot more varied than the last couple of go-rounds,” […] “There’s a lot of light and shade in these songs. There’s heavy, fast, nutty stuff, and then there’s some slowdowns and musical interludes. It’s pretty different from ‘St. Anger’, and it’s pretty different from the ‘Load’ stuff. This stuff is not the one-dimensional punch in the face that ‘St. Anger’ was. This is probably a little more like those couple of albums back there in the decade that begins with an ‘8.’”

Ar fi chiar ok ca Metallica + Rick Rubin = back to the roots. “Trash till die” e iar pe val, si pentru Warner asta conteaza cel mai mult.

E deja 2008, si noutatile apar cu o viteza demna de un crawler, nu de doi ametiti ca noi. Ne-am zbatut, am amanat, ne-am ciondanit, am cerut sfatul amicilor si, in cele din urma, am compilat un fel de top al albumelor aparute in 2007 care s-au insinuat persistent in playlisturile noastre. Nu e un top bazat pe pozitii ci vom arunca albumele in ordinea in care ne vin in cap si pe mail.

Asadar: The absolute winner - Burial - Untrue [Hyperdub Rec.] - Overhyped, iubit, detestat, tot tacamul la un asemenea produs. Dincolo de recenzii si controverse - e un album seminal, ce va fi ascultat si peste 3, 5 sau 10 ani.

Postrockul e mainstream in 2007. Si se vede in top. Metalcore-ul a murit, long live the metal! Prog?… Think again!
