REVIEW: Death Blooms – Death Blooms EP

REVIEW: Death Blooms – Death Blooms EP by Carina Lawrence / Dark Art Conspiracy

Alternative UK metal quartet Death Blooms look to turn heads with their impressive self-titled debut EP.

First song ‘Hate:Die’ has a manic vibe, especially with sinister whispered sections repeatedly saying “Then hate, then die” throughout. Featuring sonic edgy hard hitting guitars, and a superb melodic clean vocal chorus mixed with fierce screams from frontman Paul Burrows, this is an electrifying dark introduction to Death Blooms.

Next up is the anthemic ‘Last Ones’ which is a mighty offering with massive guitars, fast drums and plenty of depth, it simply soars, especially through its extremely catchy chorus, which seems to be their forte and they waste no time asserting this.

Lead single ‘I’m Dead’ strikes even harder, turning the brutality up a notch and firing off at blistering speeds, again with an urgent frantic feel driving it and sublime singalong sections, making this the perfect song to be at the forefront of this release.

Final offering ‘Sick’ rampages on and is infectious, it will have you head banging in a heartbeat. The effective use of contrasting and dual vocals is executed wonderfully yet again, as seen in the EP’s entirety. They close this stunning debut EP in a very dynamic and high impact way, with the song over before you know it, firing rapidly and leaving you eager for more.

In just four songs they manage to leave you in awe, with their exhilarating well rounded first release, they may have already established themselves as one of the best new modern metal acts going, which is a serious accolade for a debut. Death Blooms most definitely have a bright and expansive future ahead.

Score: 5/5

March 27, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

American hard rock band Into the Fire, featuring vocalist Bryan Scott (The Union Underground), bassist Tim King (SOiL), guitarist Adam Zadel (SOiL), and Will Hunt (Evanescence), have just released a lyric video for their new single ‘From The Medicine’.

‘From The Medicine’ comes from the self titled Into The Fire debut EP and is a follow up to the single and music video ‘Spit You Out’.

The group is planning to record new material and make touring plans for later in 2017.

Into The Fire’s debut EP was released 22nd September 2016 via Pavement Entertainment and was engineered, produced, and mixed by Bryan W. Scott and mastered by James Murphy. The result can be best described as a raw and stripped down rock sound with modern elements. The digital EP bundle, containing 3 tracks and a bonus video, is available at digital and streaming outlets everywhere.

Latin Metal legends “Ill Niño” Announces “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March

February 27, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Latin Metal legends “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March

Ill Niño brings the celebrations to the UK this March, marking the 15th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Revolution Revolución’, by playing the classic in its entirety, alongside other fan favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.

Drummer Dave Chavarri says, “It’s amazing that it’s been 15 Years, since the release of our debut Revolution….Revolución. It’s been a wild ride, with lots of great memories, toured the globe with some amazing bands, that are now our tour family, and we’ve made many friends along the way. I can’t say that it hasn’t been with our share of trying times. But this East Coast Latino Crew, is still here rocking, doing it our way, and not taking anyone’s bulls**t! To many more years of Revolution.”

Reigning from New Jersey/New York, Ill Niño are a force to be reckoned with. ‘Revolution Revolucion’ marked what was the beginning for these founding fathers of Latin Metal. The band continues strong 15 years later and show no signs of letting up as they bring their “15 Years Of Revolution” tour to the UK this March following extensive touring across Europe, U.S., Australia, UK, South America, Japan, and China.

There’s no doubt… Ill Niño have cemented themselves as one of the best, must see live metal bands.

With 1.3 million worldwide albums sales under their belts and still going strong, their breed of metal to the masses resonates with longterm and new fans. Not following the typical flavour of the day musical trends, and sticking to their guns, is what makes Ill Niño one of the most prolific Latin Metal bands of all time.

“15 Years Of Revolution” Ill Niño UK Tour

23rd March Norwich, Waterfront

24th March Manchester, Academy 3

25th March Glasgow, Classic Grand

26th March Bristol, Fleece

28th March London, Islington Academy

29th March Southampton, Talking Heads

Hellbound Hearts have released a video clip for their new song ‘The light we cannot see’

February 15, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Hellbound Hearts have released a video clip for their new song ‘The light we cannot see’, taken from their forthcoming debut album ‘Film Noir’ (out 7th April)

Hellbound Hearts lead vocalist and guitarist Danny Lambert talks about the songs on ‘Film Noir’:

Suffering the Radio

“The last great period of British music is a fading memory, replaced with an acceptance and almost macabre celebration of staggering mediocrity, formulaic unit shifters and false celebrity. But there are some who will not accept that all hope is lost. We are the vampires scrambling for the blood….”

Online zine ‘One Metal’ describes Hellbound Hearts as, “the kind of music that should be played with high octane and fervent amounts of passion.” With the emergence of their debut album, ‘Film Noir’, the Yorkshire alternative rock trio have solidified the promise shown on previous eps in a fashion that simply shouldn’t be ignored if you’re a rock fan.

Produced by Matt Ellis at Axis Studios (Black Spiders, Terrorvision), ‘Film Noir’ is a commanding collection of songs that range from feel-good melodies to dark, sinister hooks, whilst all the time packing in stand out singalong choruses and heavy grooves.

Be prepared to go dark… ‘Film Noir’ is released 7th April 2017.

‘FILM NOIR’ Tracklist

1. Suffering The Radio

2. Broken Hearted

3. Poor Disguises

4. The Light We Cannot See

5. Still We Wait

6. Blood

7. Wake Up

8. We Are All Alone

9. Fortunes

10. Silent Horror Movie
