New York thrashers Amalgama has finished the work on the bands debut EP 'Amethyst'. According to a stetement from the band : "This EP is the culmination of a lot of hard work, whittling down to the best songs that appear on this disc. Each of these tunes sound MASSIVE. Our producer Spomer really captured the massiveness of our sound as a band - thick guitars and rumbling bass, thunderous drums and plenty of harmonies soaring over it all." The band has posted all the songs from the EP for streaming through their MySpace site. | | Forbidden unveils album artwork | | by: Bjarte - Wednesday 08 September 2010 - 11:40:05 | |
 San Francisco Bay Area thrashers FORBIDDEN have debuted the artwork to their new studio album, Omega Wave, on their official MySpace page. FORBIDDEN guitarist / songwriter Craig Locicero checks in about his collaborative process with artist Kent Mathieu, the visual elements that can be found in the album’s artwork, and his concern for the future of the human race:
“I don’t want to over-explain the actual picture because there is enough symbolism for everyone to interpret everything differently. That is always a plus, in my book. What I can tell you is that the skull in the center is based upon the crystal skull of Belize. This skull was found at some of the pyramid ruins in two perfect pieces, jawbone and upper cranium. It was always quite a mystery, but some years later Hewlett Packard scientists did extensive tests on the skull and found many anomalies. “One of them was that there is no way, even with our most modern technology, that we could cut into the crystal the way this skull was formed. It would shatter with any instrument we have available, even today. Another thing was the fact that no matter what temperature the skull was placed in, the skull’s temperature would stay almost exactly the same. Scientists even believe the skull holds information that they could not tap into, like a giant computer chip with an impenetrable code. “So I got to thinking: Does this skull – and the other ones found throughout the most ancient places on Earth – hold something that we would need to know to possibly save ourselves? This is not an entirely new concept, but it hit me pretty hard. What could we learn about ourselves that may save us at this all-important juncture for the human race? | | Witchery | | by: Bjarte - Wednesday 08 September 2010 - 08:24:48 | |
