Threshold - Legends Of The Shires (2017)

If You have been paying attention, You may know that Damian Wilson is no longer threshold's Vocalist, in a way I understand, if it's true that Damian has an amazing voice, the vocal range is not so big, Threshold were stuck in a sonority in the two albums with him, With the re-entrance of Glynn Morgan, they can approach new sonorities due to the more powerful voice Glynn has. The song already revealed made satisfied in a simple song we see more innovation than in the last 5 years, don't get me wrong I love March of Progress and For The Journey but in these albums I missed something else to go with the amazing regular prog, missed something powerful that Glynn or Andrew McDermott use to give us.
In this song Lost In Translation is noticeable a more powerful song, yet keeping the melody and the match with Glynn's voice, However some parts of the verses are yet constructed around Damian's voice and that is noticeable, if you hear you will notice what I'm saying. Nonetheless I really enjoyed this new song and I'm waiting for the new album.

I will post something more of this new album once it's released.

[Reflection]Is Pop-Rock in extinction?

Greeting,s today Space for a quick reflection, it may seem worthless but is interesting to think about it because a change in the dirrection of the musical compass needle may affect other genres aswell.

One of this days, I saw myself hearing bands like Sugar Ray, Fastball or Semisonic, this three bands all in the genre known as Pop-rock, a rock totally embraced by the mainstream scene. From the 60's to 90's we had a lot of new bands emerging inside the variety that is the rock from rock and roll, to progressive rock, to alternative rock, and We could find them very soon, in their first/second album, mainly during the 90's several bands appeared in rock, and were easily projected to fame, most of them already in their first album. The radios, the TVs, and even the platforms of the time passed much more of this new bands other than just the current ones. In 90's (specially the late 90's) we started to have a mix between rock and the other subgenres in music that wanted to dominate.

Nowadays it has changed, mainly since 2000 slowly the Popular media and platforms slowly change the needle of what was worth to promote from Rock to more electronic, R&B and Hip-hop sonorities. It was inevitable that one day it would change, and with it found new bands in rock is much harder than before. We always have the old school bands, but here and then we need something new.
The rock bands are still there, and doing what they always did, some are inovating, but now for you to find the generality of them before their third album is much harder, cause you have to know where to look specifically.
I can give my exampl,e I find easier to find new metal(in general) and progressive sound rock bands than any other subgenre in rock. And the ones that typical media promote, doesn't have the same factors the rock from the late 20th century had.

In a way all the bands who happen to break from the new web, are more likely to remain. When in the time where rock and roll and pop-rock was a comercial, mainstream thing, lots of new bands appeared, but none of them remained, or I would guess around 10% of the new bands appearing in the media remained.

I had this in mind a time ago, sometimes It is good for things to change, to increase the musical value of what is no longer the most profitable area.

Today I bring you the new album of that amazing band that are the Leprous, even with a change in their formation(their guitarist departed and was subtituted) even so they will release in August 25th their next album Malina, there we can find this song

I enjoyed it, it clearly detaches from The Congregation(2015) which was aamzing, but no one likes to hear the same sonority in two sucessive albums, nevertheless this new sound made me remembere here and there the sonority of Bilateral which I learned to appreciate. Once something more is released I will share it with you.

CARACH ANGREN - Dance And Laugh Amongst The Rotten(2017)

Welcome once again here to this point in the internet. Well today I bring you something, which I stumbled upon by accident, I was checking my daily updates of my subscribed channels on youtube and happen to hear this masterpiece, more from the black metal but I love  the cadence, the rythm just intrumental without the vocals that so often spoil the genre. Enjoy
