You know,
even if I was a big Heavy Metal listener in the mid-late 80’s, it doesn’t mean
I listened to them all. We didn’t have
Internet and I was living in a small village (300) near a small town
(40000). This week while listening to a
classic Slayer record on Rdio I looked to the similar bands suggestions and clicked
on Onslaught, which I only knew by name.
My very first reaction was, Wow! I really wish I knew this band in the
80’s! Totally my genre. And further in
the album I thought, this guy sings like someone I know very well. Then it came to me. Paul Mahoney sings like GBH singer Colin
Abrahall! In fact, Onslaught sounds like
GBH but plays their instruments like a Thrash Metal band…or vice versa…you know
what I mean? Huge Punk influence,
perfect blend of Thrash and Punk. Great record…btw!

BEASTMILK "Climax" (2013)
Another
band that is taking their influence from the 80’s Post Punk, Alternative and
Goth wave. Yes it’s easy to compare to
some 80’s bands and singers. And you
know what? I love it! I don’t care about copycats as long as it’s
good. And Beastmilk isn’t copycat anyway. I prefer to say they’ve been influenced by
the generation X movement. So what about
this album besides the fact that it’s one of the best of 2013 (hell yeah!)? Let’s take the energy of Post Punk and the
sound of Alternative (80%), drop a small dose of Goth in the way he sings and
the melodic lines (20%) and you got a perfect mix. One last thing, I can guarantee you it’s not a
boring album, some great upbeat anthems in here.
What your
favorite track from this album?

NO JOY "Wait To Pleasure" (2013)
There are
never enough good Shoegaze band. In 2012
it was the amazing debut album from UK Shoegazer 2:54. This year it’s Montreal band No Joy….and
thanks to my Internet friend Miguel on Google+ which suggested me this album as
one of his best of the year, because this one would’ve slipped through my
fingers. Most of you knows what to
expect, fuzzy guitars and ethereal-dreamy vocals. The recipe hasn’t been change but let’s be
honest, not anybody can execute a good recipe even with the all the ingredients
on hand. This album is solid. 11 tracks condensed in 36 minutes, no
fillers! Is "Wait For Pleasure" in my Best 2013
Albums list? Absolutely!

HAROLD BUDD (With Ruben Garcia and Daniel Lentz) "Music For Three Piano" (1993)
Harold Budd is my Ambient hero since the 80s. His solo albums are amazing, he did great collaborations with Brian Eno and Robin Guthrie. Now I have to agree that it's the first time ever that I am not excited by one of his project. It's not bad, don't get me wrong....but I need his fluffy magical touch and it's not quite there.
