6LA8 – In the Land of Dreams

6LA8 are known to be a very prolific bunch and they keep establishing themselves in new territory with every new release. In the Land of Dreams is the band’s fifth album to date and the band shows no signs of letting up. It is largely grounded in electronic music as opposed to the band’s ealier work which although, does make use of electronic elements, it has never been done in such a prominent and well-coordinated fashion. If you are a fan of Autechre with a touch of Mogwai, this is exactly what you are looking for but of course, like I always say, this is only intended to give you an estimate of what you are in for. This is legit. This is definitely my favourite Pakistani release to date. In fact, one of the best pieces of music I have heard this year regardless of the fact that I programmed drums on Distressing Peaks in the Moral Landscape. Just had to get that out of the way. :P

Tracks I enjoy in particular: Drowning in a Clumsy Fashion, Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute, The Part Where Credits Roll and You Remember You Had Legs, Distressing Peaks in the Moral Landscape.

Black Hour – Age of War releasing on Wednesday

Islamabad based Heavy Metal band Black Hour are releasing their debut album AGE OF WAR through Afterwind Records on Wednesday. More details including an in-depth interview with the band coming soon.

Downfall Humanity – Downfall Humanity (Music Video)

Downfall Humanity have come out with the music video for their self-titled track. Neat stuff, despite the lack of any drummer in the music video. They put a lot of effort in the video though, and you can actually see it in the end result. Good stuff, reccomended.

Black Warrant – Wasteful Indulgence in Bliss

Black Warrant are out with their new song, Wasteful Indulgence in Bliss. I guess it’d be well described as Industrial/Groove/Metalcore type shit with some killer vocals that remind one of Dimmu Borgir – among others. Vocals are definitely the hilight. Check it out here. Lyrics etc over at their Facebook Page.

Project X-Pyre – Repulsive Contraction

Now this one slid completely through our radar, proving that sometimes in our close-knit heavy metal scene, something can come out of nowhere and take you by surprise. This is a CLASSY track by Lahore based prog metal band “Project X-Pyre.” It’s called Repulsive Contraction and you can check it out on their Reverbnation.

Listen.

They’re also gonna be on Brutal Pokhara’s latest compilation so you know these guys are the shiznit.
