BEHEMOTH: CONFIRA O VIDEOCLIPE DO SINGLE “VERSVS CHRISTVS”
Nesta quarta-feira (16) a banda polonesa de Black/ Death Metal, Behemoth, lançou o videoclipe do single “Versvs Christvs”, no seu canal oficial do YouTube. O vídeo teve a direção de Agata Alexander.
A faixa faz parte do décimo segundo disco de estúdio, “Opvs Contra Natvram”, na última sexta-feira (16), em todas às plataformas de streaming, via Nuclear Blast Records.
“O título do álbum significa ir contra a corrente. É o negativo dos valores, da moral e da ética que eu me oponho. Eu tenho lutado seriamente com tendências destrutivas na cultura pop – cancelar cultura, mídia social e ferramentas que eu sinto que são armas muito perigosas nas mãos de pessoas que não são competentes para julgar os outros. Isso é algo que eu acho muito destrutivo e perturbador – e extremamente limitante vindo da perspectiva de um artista. Este é o meu dedo do meio para isso. Há uma música no disco chamada ‘Neo-Spartacvs’. Spartacus foi um dos rebeldes mais emblemáticos da história que enfrentou o império mais poderoso de todos os tempos. No final, sou eu gritando: ‘Eu sou Spartacus, e você também!’ Eu quero acender a chama da rebelião. Se algo parece errado, então enfrente!”

Petrucci discutiu sua reunião musical com Portnoy durante uma longa conversa com o fã-clube oficial do Dream Theater. Ele disse:
"Mike está tocando bateria neste [disco], o que é realmente incrível. Obviamente, Dave LaRue tocou no meu primeiro álbum solo, 'Suspended Animation', e também fiz várias turnês com [ele] com 'G3' , como no passado Mike Portnoy, também fizemos turnês com o 'G3' - na verdade, desde o primeiro 'G3' em 2001. Mas, sim, ter Mike tocando bateria foi legal. Foi uma ótima experiência."

ORIGIN - CHAOSMOS September 2, 2022, 2 days ago (NUCLEAR BLAST) Greg Pratt Rating: 8.0
US tech DM shredders Origin never disappoint, really, and here on their eighth full-length the band surprise right out of the gates by dropping the most memorable riff they've ever laid down, “Ecophagy”'s opening being something you'll actually... remember... after the album's done. And as much as I love Origin, I've never actually remembered anything they've written once the music ends.
.
So, solid start to what is, obviously, a solid album, the first seven songs racing past in a brisk 33 minutes or so, and then closer “Heat Death” taking a solid 11 more minutes to do its thing (well, kinda ends after eight minutes, but who's counting?). It's a smart way to sequence the record; also smart is how the title track shreds and flails until its ending riff, when things slow down to a sludge, and then “Cogito, Tamen Non Sum” brings the drum workshop we knew was coming, and “Panoptical” follows it up with the guitar workshop we also knew was coming. So, sure, it's Origin, but it's just so perfect, the production so crisp and clean, the playing so energized and economic, the band showing a new, sharper sense of songwriting, again displayed on the breakneck “Decolonizer”, which takes Wolverine Blues-era Entombed near-d-beat swagger and death-and-roll stomp and filters it through new-school American tech DM for quite a song indeed.
And here we are, talking about songs on an Origin record, “Cullscape” continuing the streamlined focus on hooks but never losing the chops we all flock to Origin for, and then the aforementioned “Heat Death” a massive, groove-and-tech-infused whiplash of a closer, with what could almost even be called a vocal hook in there, Origin really nailing the point home that they've never been more focused and sharp, and also never smarter with their songwriting..

TOXIK - DIS MORTA
One of the most anticipated releases of 2022, Toxik is finally back with a new full-length 33 years after Think This. Dis Morta is chaotic, technical thrash metal that artfully blends the band’s first two albums. Josh Christian, the sole remaining original member, is the star of the show displaying guitar gymnastics to the greatest degree and singer Rob Iglesias fits in with a vast range of vocal theatrics to complement the sharp music.
There’s much to digest in this 44 minute flurry of action as there is a whirlwind of speedy numbers, abrupt transitions, and turbulent rhythms. Title track and opener “Dis Morta” displays menacing guitars with Iglesias belting out the highest of shrieks, but proceedings pick up on the swirling, shark attack of “Feeding Frenzy”. The go-for-the-throat, all-out thrashers are the star of the as the 3-minute “Straight Razor” is unrelenting while the highlight “Devil In The Mirror” starts with a piano (!) before erupting to a lightning quick speedster. “Hyper Reality” features a robotic, strange rhythms similar to Voivod while “Creating The Abyss” comes in with mathematical precision which could fit right on Think This.
The best part is all the guitar histrionics from Christian; the guy is showing off his abilities, but it stays within the confines of the song. On multiple listens, different guitar parts stick out and the ending of “The Radical” leaves an exasperated expression of “How the hell is this guy playing this?” Some modern sensibilities eek their way in on occasion with the riffing and in the production effort, but Dis Morta is well worth the wait. Fans of Heathen, Coroner, and Watchtower will want to get their hands on this beast.
