WORM IS GREEN
'To Them We Are Only Shadows'
ATA:DIGITAL

When it comes to electronic music, you would not immediately think of Iceland as a productive scene unlike it's metal counterpart. But when Worm Is Green drop their latest album 'To Them We Are Only Shadows', you get this feeling of a cold, bitter and crisp atmosphere, as if they recorded the album in the middle of the icy wilderness and not a recording studio. Much akin to the 1980's style of electronic music, but molded into the more modern contemporary electronic music sound, 'To Them We Are Only Shadows' has a vibrant sound to it, mixing a truly inspiration ambient atmosphere with delicate vocals that soothe the mind and soul, in fact this may well be called easy listening. Slow-paced, full of flavor and dark feelings brewing around the senses, yup this is one album any electronic music fan should own.

WE DIE TONIGHT
'Solitude'

The UK has seen it's fair share of up-and-coming Metalcore bands in recent years, but when We Die Tonight come along and drill their flag of brutality deep within the pavements of London, the expectation of a full-on, face-punching onslaught is deeply expected. Hallelujah, the quartet's latest offering 'Solitude' wields together the unrelenting ferocity of Metalcore with the catchiness of Post-Hardcore, and then sprinkles on top elements of Technical Metal, Hardcore and Melodic Metal. We Die Tonight were never a complex bunch, that is, no fancy riffs and no flash sounds. This is well and truly shown on 'Solitude' where they slap down on the table, a megaton-of-Metalcore with such a ferocious force, your heaviest hangover has just been outclassed eternally.

KESÄ
'Kesä'
SVART

For the more adventurous rock fans, attention should be drawn to the self-titled debut album by Finnish quintet Kesä. Simply because of two things, firstly they sing in Finnish and secondly they have delivered some rather spectacular music. Lashing together the more modern punk rock sound with the new romanticism movement and adding some industrial influences, 'Kesä' is perhaps the weirdest-yet-eccentric album to emerge out of Finland since the birth of the Finnish gothic rock movement. But the Finnish music scene has rarely disappointed and with this effort, it continues to excite, 'Kesä' is one album you should have in your collection, whether you can understand the lyrics or not. It's that exciting.

Recommended track: "Vahdinvaihto"

For Fans of: Sex Pistols, Tangerine Dream, Culture Club

'Kesä' is out 30th April via Svart Records
