Stoned Evergreen Travelers - Angelville Rock, Metal, Hellbilly Washington, United States Overall Impression: Washington rockers Stoned Evergreen Travelers have released their new tune Angelville. Lacing backwoods Country with high-octane Metal, Stoned Evergreen Travelers have conjured up a new sound that is wild, alluring, and slightly deadly. Angelville opens with a devilish atmosphere. Led by the fiddle, it instantly sinks its claws into the listener and does with them what it pleases. As the guitar groove kicks in, the tune takes on the shape of a wild animal and thrashes from side to side. Lyrically, Angelville tells the story of Jesse and his fiery fight with the devil. It's a tale that should come with a warning label. The lyrics are sung with a jagged, Rock edge and given just the right amount of melodic catchiness. As the tune progresses, a killer breakdown paints a fight scene and sends the fiddle tearing through the stratosphere. Overall, Angelville...

Freqology - Insomniac cartoon theatre Metal California, United States Overall Impression: After experiencing the gloriously brutal assault on the senses that is "Insomniac Cartoon Theater", I think it's safe to say that listeners will have never heard some of their favorite cartoons be referenced in quite as ferocious a fashion as this. Both head poundingly heavy and hilariously bizarre in equal measure, Freqology combine the unrelenting nature of thrash with the viciously ruthless qualities of death metal in what I can best describe as a chest ripping, head-splitting cavalcade of savage guitar riffery and unrelenting vocal onslaughts.
