New music two days in a row? The interweb has suddenly become a busy place for new music. Today we have two more excellent items we are excited about.
First Soilwork is streaming a new track from their upcoming double album "The Living Infinite". This track sounds like classic Soilwork, combining massive chugging riffs, complex drum patterns, including blast beats, and Bjorn 'Speed' Strid's powerful dual vocals. This is a really heavy track. It shows a lot of promise for this band. Soilwork formed in the mid-1990s and has released nine studio albums including "The Living Infinite". Their sound began to change and adapt with the release of "Stabbing the Drama" and more so on "Sworn to a Great Divide". Their latest album, "The Panic Broadcast", was billed as a return to form and was their best album in years. From what I've heard so far, the new record will be even better than the last. I'm a fan of Soilwork, so I'll be checking this out when it is released. Strid's switches back and forth from impressive clean vocals to snarling higher-register screams that are typical of the melodeath genre. Check out the following track and then get yourself a neck brace to wear for the next two days.
I have been listening to Honeyslide's latest EP for the last fifteen minutes and have not been particularly impressed. This record sounds like average old-school shoegaze choked with fuzzy guitar reverb. However, this band just released a brand new single at soundcloud, and it is anything but average. Instead it is very different than their EP. The new track is more harmonious, the reverb is cleaner and better-executed, and the track is soaked with sensational electronic ambiance. This is worlds better than their EP. When and if this British group releases a new album, one can hope that the entire disc is a reflection of the new track rather than the EP. Listen to the new track below and you can see what I mean. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
