REVIEW: Streams – Streams (single) by Carina Lawrence / Dark Art Conspiracy
Epic death metallers Streams are a brutal multi-talented duo from Finland. They have just unleashed their first self-titled single, which opens dramatically with a horror film vibe effect, instantly putting you on edge, before dark fast guitars come in, greeted by fierce growled vocals, which fire speedily throughout. This is a blistering death metal offering, which is highly melodic and ends as it started, coming full circle and hitting you hard with every last beat.
This is a brilliant debut song and leaves you exhausted, but hungry for more extreme sounds from Streams, who in just one strike prove they are a band to keep an eye. Score: 4/5
Slovenian solid heavy metal band Pyroxene released their first EP on April 21st 2017 via Inverse Records.
»Ep« is a concept album with 4 poems, talking about the rise of our overlord fireborn Pyroxene, his conquest of cities and lands, of the rituals under his dominion and of his great war on the Moon! Pyroxene’s first album gives you a small insight into the lore of the Fireborn, creator of suns, slayer of weak.
Music that is in the essence heavy metal is intertwined with etno melodics and dark grooves. Many times it was described as retro sound or chemical. The band has decided to record a cover of Black Sabbath’s Electric funeral, to pay tribute to the legends of metal.
The band is founded in 2011 and their repertoire stretches from blues elements and hard rock to heavy metal, whereas they define themselves as »solid metal«. After releasing few successful singles the band is now ready to be introduced even on a bigger audience. If you’re still unfamiliar with this fresh and energetic band the best option is to check their solid music video Helium 3 here:
Track list:
1. Fireborn 2. Bullets fly 3. Cleansed in fire 4. Black Sabbath’s Electric funeral (cover) 5. Helium – 3
