Fuck The Facts – Amer — Independent, 2013

Fuck The Facts have long been a bright spot in the canadian metal scene. The long running band have released a nearly ridiculous number of records in their ever changing musical formula. The formula itself retains grind as a backbone but adds layers and ideas up and above that to create something more dynamic more the bands' own.

Amer is a brief ep released on cassette and vinyl with lyrics solely in french. As this release is yet another notch in the bands independent belt it is more of their own less filtered but same general idea. While none of the songs reach much over 3 minutes (at an absolute maximum), there are shades of the bands influences outside of grind all over it whether it be noise, hardcore and doom all styles make their presence felt. This all equals out to a strong but all too brief EP by a band that deserve their place in metal and then some.

The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever.

I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
