Mose Giganticus - Gift Horse

Mose Giganticus is a one man band constructed by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Matthew Garfield, who had put in plenty of time in various punk bands of the area. Since formingt he project back in 2005, this project has seen a few albums, but none as heavy, entertaining, yet odd as far as the music for this release goes. Gift Horse, the second full-length album from   Mose Giganticus,is essentially a Sludge Metal style of playing with some Hardcore and Punk influences that are brought in, but mostly through synthesizers. However, with Gift Horse, it seems that the material this time around is much more Sludge oriented with synths then anything else. This more refined sound leads to Gift Horse being a great album that really stands out amongst the many Mastodon clone bands in this style, and may very well toppled them and each doppleganger all at the same time.

While this album does seem to focus moreso on the Sludge sound of the music, there are still some tracks on here that still bring in the whole Punk and Hardcore atmosphere. Take "The Left Path" for instance. While this track has the ground work of a Sludge album, it has the speed and even the group chanting that would commonly be associated with the Hardcore music style. These elements added together work great and really make this track stand out above all on the release for how heavy it ultimately sounds. However, all of this applies only to the speed factor of the album. While this track is one of the most enjoyable and really stands out amongst the faster tracks of the album, there's no denying that "Days of Yore" is easily the most unique track on this entire album, with it's insane layer of science fiction atmosphere that gives the song an almost astral feel thanks to the synthesizers that overpower the track to take you on one hell of well composed trip right from the start.

 

While the Sludge aspect of this album is absolutely fantastic and really works well to create an experience all it's own, the tracks like "Days of Yore" are really where this album shines. While "Days of Yore" is enough that it could sweep you away into a whole other musical world without leaving the Sludge roots behind, it's the song "White Horse" that really drives the album home with it's epic overall sound thanks to the heavy synthesizers and accompanying guitars, all of which building a very intense song without going over the top, acting as sort of a climax track to the concept behind the album, which apparently is that of the building tension before the great war between Heaven and Hell, and the discussions between God and Lucifer.

Alice Cooper - Welcome 2 My Nightmare

Welcome to My Nightmare is the eighth album by Alice Cooper, released in 1975. This was Alice Cooper's first solo album (all previous Alice Cooper releases were bandefforts). The cover artwork was created byDrew Struzan for Pacific Eye & Ear. Rolling Stone would later rank it as one of the "Top 100 Album Covers Of All Time".

Welcome to My Nightmare is a concept album. The songs, heard in sequence, form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven.

Welcome to My Nightmare inspired the Alice Cooper: The Nightmare TV special and a worldwide concert tour in 1975, and the Welcome To my Nightmare concert film in 1976.

The song Welcome to my Nightmare is a parody of the 1968 novel "There's a Nightmare in My Closet" by Mercer Mayer.

Famed film actor of the Horror genre Vincent Price provided the introductory monologue in the song "The Black Widow".

The remastered CD version adds three alternate version bonus tracks.

In 2011, the sequel Welcome 2 My Nightmare was released.

Remastered Review From Wiki 

For Settler \m/

Divinity - The Singularity

Hailing from Canada, Divinity play a sort of mix between Progressive Death, Technical Death, and Melodic Death/Gothenburg with an overall spacey feels that gives the band a wholly original sound. If you are into any of the previously mentioned genres then this band is definitely one to check out. To be honest I'm pretty surprised that I haven't heard any chatter about this band at all this year, being that they released a new album on Nuclear Blast and their sound should appeal to many people. Despite this, The Singularity contains plenty of gems coated in intricate riffage enhanced by great sound editing (you can actually hear the bass sometimes!) it would be a shame to let this release go by unnoticed.

The album starts off with a bang with "Abiogenesis," a simple song mostly containing chugging on the same note that is arguably my favorite out of them all. This song sounds a bit like a futuristic war march, and if two planets were going to commence battle in the year 3000 this is what I would want to play when the troops clash. The tracks just get more complicated and technical from then on, some of the notable ones being "Beg to Consume," "Lay In The Bed You've Made," and "Embrace the Uncertain," which contain catchy choruses and perplexingly awesome riffs.

There are little faults with the album, but I'd be lying if I said I loved every song every time I listened to them. When I sat down and tried intently listening to the whole thing start to finish I ultimately became bored, but it was when I listened to the songs in chunks of three or four at a time that I enjoyed the release the most. It was also a grower for me, ultimately catching on after two listens. Despite this, The Singularity is a great and highly recommended release.
