Review: Basick Records sampler

Djent happens to be the ‘in’ thing right now (and I’m also getting déjà vu, because I’ve said this countless times before), and it seems that Basick Records are flying the flag for this movement, being home to a large array of Technical Metal and djent inspired artists. The label are currently offering a free sample album, which you can download for free here, so I figured I’d check it out and offer my thoughts on the download.

The sample contains 10 songs, by 10 different bands. I’ve heard of about 5 of them before, but the other half are all new to me. The download comes in a default format of MP3 at 320 kbps, so you’re getting fairly decent quality here. Make the jump for the review.

Start your week with a cowboy song

Job for a Cowboy recently released a song, called ‘Misery Reformatory,’ for free online. In other words, you can stream the song below from Soundcloud. The song has been available on Amazon for a month already.

The song is the first single of their upcoming EP Gloom, which will be released via Metal Blade Records on June 7th.

I’ve always been a defender of Job for a Cowboy. Genesis and Ruination were both solid Death Metal albums but I can’t really warm up for this song. The solo is pretty awesome but that’s pretty much all this song has to offer. The rest is really forgetable at best. But check it out yourself.

Weak Recap: We’re bringing sexy back

Another week behind us, another week of total metal kickassery. “But hey Simo, this week hasn’t been that special really…” – I hear some of you saying, and to clarify, when I say kickassery, I mean the way we’ve covered everything. Hell, we could comment on funerals or people sleeping and make it sound interesting as hell.

Kids, prepare your tissues and toilet paper, Mark and I are taking a trip down the memory lane, and it’s going to be sexy.

Nergal performs with Fields Of The Nephilim

Guitarist and vocalist of the Polish Blackened Death Metal masterminds Behemoth, Nergal, has made his first performance since undergoing a bone marrow transplant last December, with the British Gothic Rock band Fields Of The Nephilim. The video can be found above.

In addition, Behemoth are set to return to the stage in October.

This is all awesome news and it’s great to see Nergal back on the stage killing it. I feel like after I first lost my virginity. Coincidently, Nergal felt like how I felt just before I lost my virginity:

“I don’t remember when the last time I was THAT nervous. First of all, I had to join one of my favorite bands ever, true legends, Fields Of The Nephilim”

Any ways, it’s great to see the man back on his feet and performing again. We all at Dose of Metal wish him the best of luck.

Review: Death Comes Pale – Through Carrion Eyes

Death Comes Pale’s bassist Anders contacted a couple of days ago and asked if we wanted to review their EP Through Carrion Eyes. Sure, we do. The first thing I noticed when I looked through the press material, was that I have the same Bloodbath shirt, the guy in the middle above wears. High-five!

Before I review the EP, let me tell you that you can listen to the entire EP on DCP’s homepage. Come on, free shit. Who can resist free shit?
