Satan's Satyrs - Wild Beyond Belief! (2012)

We all love gritty lo-fidelity just as much as the next guy, but damn if Satan's Satyrs don't take low quality production to the next level, and it sounds absolutely wonderful. Straight out of the boondocks of Herndon, Virginia these guys deliver, they bring back the same feelings of nostalgia every lo-fi enthusiast gets when they listen to an old Venom track; their aesthetics range as well, covering doom metal, punk rock, garage rock, stoner rock, etc. Not to mention their over exuberant biker themes, and the fact that they were selected as special guests by Electric Wizard at the Electric Acid Orgy, these guys are clearly notable, hopefully this review compels you all to give them a listen, they surely don't get enough recognition throughout the community.

be____all - be____all (2012)

be____all is, for lack of a better word, an enigmatic artist(s?) from Massachusetts. They make what they describe as noise pop, and it's exactly what it sounds like. This album clocks in at just under 20 minutes, but it is not an EP, from what I can gather. This self-titled release conjures images of travelling in a metro train, late at night, with only your thoughts and the twinkling city skyline accompanying you. A pleasant, if slightly unsettling ambient experience awaits the listener, and this album (as with all their releases) is available for free from their bandcamp.

be____all is the be all, end all artist of noise pop. Fans of music that's a bit "out there" will enjoy them.
