SKEIN promo picture by Mikko Huotari
Finnish alternative metal quintet SKEIN released a first single ‘BOUND’ from their upcoming second album named ‘DEADWEIGHT’.
Assembled with the invaluable help of producer Tuomas Kokko (Ghost Brigade, Swallow the Sun etc.), the album moves dynamically across different soundscapes, reaching from crushingly heavy guitar riffs to more etheric, atmospheric parts.
Unlike their debut album ‘Of Wings Unfolding’, which was a concept album with a strong narrative and a storyline (strengthened by a novel published alongside the physical copy) the songs on ‘Deadweight’ stand on their own. Delivered with both screaming and clean vocals, the songs explore issues from misuse of power and societal responsibility to basic human characteristics, with very personal experiences. Due the rawness and personal approach, the album is the strongest emotional outburst of Skein’s career.

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
MEMBERS:
ATLAS – vocals, bass, guitar
TURBONUKLEAR – vocals, keys, drums
The single ‘Streams’ is out now (released 14/4/17) on Spotify, Itunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play through Inverse Records.
