Everyone in Sápmi and almost everyone who’s into Sámi music know who Kai Somby is. As the singer of the “HeavyJoik” band Intrigue for close to 25 years, he is one of the most respected Sámi singers of his generation. Kai, while still being as active as ever with Intrigue, recently managed to find the time to lend his voice [...]
As websites tailor the results of searches to better fit what programmers believe we’d want to read, see, and listen to, there’s a chance that we may lose touch with the world that lies outside of our own expectations. I doubt a tailored search would have led me to Rokia Traoré’s album Beautiful Africa, and that would have been a [...]
Rudimental åpner med en ganske funky men rolig start på plata med tittellåten “Home”, der stemmen slår meg som meget behagelig. Jeg antok med en gang at resten av skiva er enveiskjøring innenfor samme toner, men jeg ble derimot overrasket over at de skifter stiler om hverandre.Det essensielle drum’n’bass-elementet er alltid med, men forgrunnstonene og vokalen er i stadig forandring.

Die A Legend: Three words, one band, and a heck of a lot of decibels. Since its inception sometime around 2011, Die A Legend has distinguished itself by taking a much more violent and Old-School approach to its Hardcore than most of its Norwegian contemporaries. It paid out. After the release of their first album on Badlands two years ago, [...]
Country music means a great deal of things to a great deal of people. For some, country music represents nothing but a commercially viable genre of music based on simple chord patterns. Yet for those truly knowledgeable, it signifies so much more. Much in the vein of other traditional American music forms such as blues and folk, country music is [...]
F.I.N.A.L.L.Y.! After more than five years of tortuous development, Pushing Device has finally released their first CD. The Tromsø band, which was spawned in 2007, had previously only released songs on Myspace and such, but it’s with grace that the pushy dudes finally have the opportunity to get physical. The self-titled CD, limited to a hundred copies (but also available [...]
Kvelertak just released their second album, Meir, on Sony Music Entertainment. Such a huge musical event could definitely not be missed. The opening track, fittingly named “Åpenbaring” is exactly what I was expecting: lots of heavy guitars setting the stage for powerful melodies, harsh screaming and viciously enjoyable blasting. The same elements, wrapped in a larger-than life production are to [...]
By the end of February, the music scene experienced another hysteria, something that usually happens when the name Thom Yorke is mentioned. On the 25th, Atoms for Peace (a side project of Thom Yorke from Radiohead and Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers) published their first album named AMOK. What started with many rumours and extraordinarily high expactations turns out [...]
Bruce Springsteen is still a household name in America, long after his career went through changes that would have erased less resilient performers from popular culture. “Collection 1973-2012″ gathers 18 tracks spanning his entire career to date, providing a decent survey of the rock icon’s major milestones, cracked or broken as some of them may be. They begin with defiant, [...]
Ghost kan beskrives som et feel-good doom-metal band fra Sverige med sterkt satanistiske og okkulte sanger. Jeg har vært stor fan av Ghost siden deres første album Opus Eponymous, og med deres nyslupne Infestissumam skuffer de ikke. Jeg må presisere at dette albumet tok meg minst fem gjennomlyttninger før jeg “forstod” det, men dæven, da blir plata en gullgruve av [...]
