CHAW - How to Drain Your Dragon
Metal
TX, US

Overall Impression: Houston-based alt metal band CHAW serve up hard-hitting grooves and brutal riffs, on their release of "How to Drain Your Dragon". Guttural, snarling vocals deliver outrageously sardonic lyrics set to powerful blast beats and distorted down-tuned guitars in a dynamic arrangement, resulting in a powerful and intimidating sound that audiences are sure to love. CHAW's over-the-top songwriting and intense sonic onslaught make "How to Drain Your Dragon" an easy recommendation for any alt metal enthusiasts.

 Strongest Point(s): Outstanding production, solid mix. Nice use of stereo width, good clarity and tonal balance. Killer riff that hits right off the bat. Wonderful sludge-y guitar sound. Bass guitar does a wonderful job of laying down the fundamental rhythm, great tone. Creative beat design, drums sound fantastic and cut through the mix nicely. Love the instrumental section that begin around 1:25 and 2:38, great use of silence and space. Vocal production and performance sound terrific, great death growl deliveries and harsh singing. Great job of arranging and mixing the backing vocal shouts as well. Excellent lyrical content; great title pun to start with, followed by a series of brutally honest insights and truths that should resonate with most alternative rock fans. All in all, this is a tremendous track that blends elements of nu metal with thrash and death metal, resulting in a sound that should have broad appeal across the metal community. Stellar work, all around!

Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

Artist Spotlight ★ Righteous Hillbillies ★ Relix Magazine Grand Prize Winner!

Image
The band Righteous Hillbillies formed in 2007. The lineup of Righteous Hillbillies consists of Brent James, a singer and songwriter bringing together such seemingly disparate elements as hard rock, country, with rhythm and blues to form an unforgettable style. Also keeping the rhythm on guitar, James is a charismatic but commanding front man, steering the Southern Rock ship to conquer new territory at every concert. By his side is Nick Normando, a prodigy and lead guitarist who received his baptism in blood while growing up playing the blues. Righteous Hillbillies have now cut the leash, and Normando is free to run with the pack, bringing all his ferocious power and unpredictable virtuosity to the stage and studio. Jeff Bella pours the foundation on the bass, knowing when to inject color and character into the music, behind Bella is Barret Harvey – a thunderous powerhouse whose drumming ability is steady as a pulse, but equally dynamic. Trained in rock ‘n’ roll a...

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Temptresssun - Endless Talks (Debate)

Image
Temptresssun - Endless Talks (Debate) Alternative/Alt. Rock, Indie rock/Folk, Classical Cairo, Egypt Overall Impression: Thoroughly absorbing and deeply atmospheric from start to start, Temptresssun's ambient post-rock/alternative instrumental "Endless Talks (Debate)" is a forever evolving piece of songwriting that makes superb use of its delay-drenched guitar layers, reverb-engulfed synth pads, dreamlike sound design, and free-flowing melodic expeditions. "Endless Talks (Debate) feels very much like a journey, yet the destination is unknown, making for a deeply mysterious and somewhat ghostly musical landscape in which the listener must navigate. Temptresssun invites listeners to enter his dreamlike world of engrossing tonal layers and organic textures, and it's a world I'm happy to get lost in. Strongest Point(s): Compared to pieces of music with an identifiable vocal performance at its forefront, instrumental music is a wholly di...
