Nuclear metal, metalpunk or whatever you want to call it, this is Children of Technology’s third album. Expect rebellion. Opening song “Soundtrack of No Future” has a crisp sound, a solid beat and some rousing rock n roll style guitar… Continue Reading →
A collaborative sci-fi Drone metal album? Say what???! Away (Michel Langevin) of Voivod fame and Thisquietarmy (Eric Quach) have been secretly recording music together for some time. They have hours of the stuff apparently and this is phase 1. I have to say at first glance… Continue Reading →
