CD Review: Emmure CD appeals to death metal audience
The Current – Apr 23, 2007
substring(0 thispageresult. Fans of most grunge death metal music may like what Emmure has to offer. Personally I do not really listen to nor understand a lot of this kind of music so I don’t think I can really appreciate or get a real feel for what it had to offer. I apologize in advance to fans of the genre or any Emmure fans out there. Emmure’s members are Frankie Palmeri on vocals Ben Lionetti and Jesse Ketive on guitar Mark Davis on bass and Joe Lionetti on drums. “Goodbye to the Gallows” was released under Victory Records.

The List – Apr 23, 2007
This new work continues the artist?s obsession both with planarity in high modernist American and British painting in the 60s and 70s and with the darker side of ?pop? music influences that he also recently brought together in an exhibition entitled After-Human in a temporary space at Glasgow?s Trongate. Previously Clements has exhibited as part of the New Work Scotland programme at Edinburgh?s Collective gallery where what can be referred to as ?black square? European modernism was used to explore the satanic undercurrent in some contemporary ?death metal? post-industrial seriously gothic music from Europe. It is not by any means ?new? to create a relationship between music and art – there is a strong modernist tradition that links abstract avant-gardist and dissonant manifestations of both art forms – and this seems to be the stream that Clements hopes to navigate. The enormous success of his work is due to a sophisticated understanding of paint its flat application and brushy removal (in ?High Priestess? a portrait of Riley) brought together in perfectly composed canvases. His silver-grey and black canvases critique the distinction between expression (as mess) and abstraction (as cool detached analysis) demonstrating that form is empty and is only temporarily animated or imbued by the viewer with elements from the stylistic cues that they take from the historical context they find themselves in.

Static-X: Machine < Music | PopMatters
PopMatters – Apr 23, 2007
Parents may cringe but adolescence does come with its own special set of demons. A shame then that Static-X and its downcast group of peers—Cold Disturbed Staind et al—can find time to reflect only the most gloomy aspects of those tumultuous heady years. Machine opens with “Bien Venidos” 20 seconds of mariachi music that account for the only upbeat moments of the album. A crushing wall of sound follows as “Get to the Gone” employs the vaunted industrial “jackhammer” effect of pounding beats thunderingly metallic power chords and guttural vocals guaranteed to make even the listener feel the need for a throat lozenge. The impressionistic lyrics touch on most of the nu-metal genre’s tropes: alienation death anger disturbance. “Permanence” continues along the same path with more prominent loops and the same choppy guitar; “Cold and curdled are my insides” screams hirsute frontman Wayne Static and while his conviction is impressive there’s something ultimately hollow about the existential crises detailed here. The painful self-hate that permeates songs like “… Machine opens with “Bien Venidos” 20 seconds of mariachi music that account for the only upbeat moments of the album.

Gogol Bordello Have An pen House
CMJ.com – Apr 23, 2007
“A trans-Siberian Western if I must say so. For the past two months Hutz and his band of gypsy musicians have been hard at work at TriBeCa’s Integrated Studios a sophisticated hub with a panoramic view of the Hudson mixing and mastering tracks for their highly anticipated Gypsy Punks follow-up. And though the recording process has been daunting—Hutz claims that as many as 30 takes and two days have been devoted to a single song—the early tracks of Super-Taranta show no signs of wear and tear. Before beginning the gracious open-house listening session Hutz explains the album’s mysterious title… A journey indeed as Gogol Bordello blur genres with epic System f A Down-centric breakdowns dub-y bass lines and the timeless Samuel Beckett verse “I can’t go on. ” The masterful production of Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds PJ Harvey) makes “Forces f Victory” heavy and frantic yet reflective and simultaneously deep—”Gypsy death metal” Hutz assures me. Thus far Super-Taranta is what you’d expect from Gogol Bordello—humorous and unpredictable. But its passion of vitality alongside gypsy politics course through Eugene Hutz’s veins breeding the album’s growing buzz. Gogol Bordello will continue working on Super-Taranta to meet the July release date briefly breaking to invade festival stages at Coachella T In The Park Leeds and Reading.
