Good night everyone. Today i bring to you straight from the slaughterhouse, a celebration of Lebron James birthday. Buckethead as a great as that he is, he celebrated James birthday by releasing 3 tracks. At the time only King James was knew from the album "Crime Slunk Scene" (Picture on the right) and the other 2 tracks were new at the timea dn later would become the first and second tracks of "Slaughterhouse on the Praire" (picture on the left).
The name "Home for the Hemorrage" was considered to be a track on an upcoming Buckethead album and later found out that it was a tentative title for one of the tracks in "Slaughterhouse on the Praire".
The three tracks a great rocking songs, in fact Crime Slunk Scene is my second favorite Buckethead album, and the first one i ever bought with my own money. Real proud of that one.
Hi everyone, no free song or album today. Instead, i would like to raise attention to a genre of music some would find offensive to your ears and maybe not music at all. I present to you, Merzbient, a 12CD box set with noise. I personally do not like the noise, but i do respect this artist quite much because he's considered to be the king of noise music. His catalog is so great, you would need weeks, maybe months to hear from beginning (1979) to the present, mainly becuase he has over 250 albums arround; and that is what i respect from him. The ability to create such a diverse span of sounds in such a highly creative way just bewilderes me.
This set is more special because its a depart from what he is used to. Yes, its still noise, but its ambient noise. To date ive heard the album and its the only album that has scared me deeply. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before.
Anyways i do not provide the link to download this from this blog, but i do know where to find the blog if youre clever (hahaha). I do not mind people downloading an album that isnt supposed to be for free as long as it serves a purpose and if i get someone hooked to Merzbow it would be something really great and rare considering the ammount of fans in this genre and also the ammount of copies from one album that he mannages to release (arround 1000 and thats it).
Hello everyone. Its been months since ive posted, everything its complicated right now and most importantly i didnt had any motivation to continue posting due to a big fight on a forum that ultimately got me banned for a month, maybe less. At the end i got back in and im happy with how things turn out.
Having said that i present to you "Tom Tom" by the Smashing Pumpkins, its a great song. Easily the strongest song of this instalment of the lenghty project that Corgan is in charge now. This is the seventh free track of the 44 track album, and the third song from the second volume released last week. I tried to ask Kerry (Brown), producer of the album, why did this volume got released withou releasing the four tracks beforehand (at the time 2 of the 4 were released), he then replied by saying that this track would be released on the day of the release of the volume.
To today's post, 3 of the 4 tracks are released but if someone reading is a fan of Vampire Diaries or knows youtube, you can find the other unreleased track "The Fellowship" there.
I rather not explain what this song is to me. Its rather personal but so far there is no sign of me getting tired of this song and in my personal list this track comes second to "A Song For a Son" mainly because im a guitar man and i love the solo but "Tom Tom" is rather close in the list.
Another great track by Dave Mustaine, called "Head Crusher", was the first song to be heard from yet another masterpiece from Megadeth called "Endgame". The song has some sick solos, and an incredible intro that blows my mind each time ive heard it, and makes me mad just trying to play it. This is not the highlight of this album, but i dont like to coment on tracks that are not for free. Now, as you all cant see, there is no link to download it. Well, i cant seem to find it, but i do know that it was free when i downloaded it from Roadrunner Records, last year when the promotion of the album was very strong. Now the label doesnt have the link or the Megadeth site, but they do have a player, if you like Metal music, you wont be disapointed. Also i dont think Head Crusher is on this player, but youre all very smart, youll find a way.

Well, its been a while scince my last post, so ill leave you Ghosts I-IV, a ver dark piece from Nine Inch Nails. Its also what lure me into the chaotic mind and sounds of Trent Reznor. There are some real gems from this albums, and also great collaborations, for example, Andrew Bellew also know to be in the mytical King Crimson. Talking about the sound, its dark, its strong, its mindblowing. Some tracks like the first track just captivates me, and also "34 Ghosts IV" (which was also nominated for a Grammy, not that the grammys really matter, but still), there are hard songs, but its up to you to see, and hear, and i mean really really hear. For the ones that got captivated by this set, and want to spend real money on it, there is also a really deluxe edition of the set, that has 2 aditional songs, which for unknown reasons were left out of it (i really dont know why, and they are great tracks speacially "Ghosts 38", which sonds like "Demon Seed" from the album "The Slip", posted some time earlier).
On the usual spot ive set the links for the albums page, and also the order page, were there are 4 available choices, one of them is downloading the first Ghosts for free, others have prices which, if you want and like, you can pay. For the undecided people, ive found the player of the whole album, tracks from each Ghosts may be in the player, but i think the tracks may vary from time to time (the player is at the end of this post).
Anyways, i hope you like and enjoy this one, and also suport Nine Inch Nails.
Here is the second song from the album "Teargarden By Kaleidoscope", following the incredible "A Song for a Son", but this one fails to be greater than the last track. I heard this song a lot when i came out, but maybe thats what happened to me that now i dont like it so much, hearing it so often bores me with some songs. Even if now it doesnt caught my ears, i still have in my MP3 and i listen to this track when the MP3 is on random.
As the last track, if you liked this one, and also the last one. Maybe its time to buy the EP, which has 4 tracks out of the 44 of the whole album (and hasnt been released yet). Ill post another time with the next 2 tracks, and another time with the whole EP, "Teargarden by Kaleidoscope, Vol. 1: Songs for a Sailor". If you wanna hear this song, and the others, there is a Smashing Pumpkins player on the side of the blog. Feel free to download the song from that player if you like.
Scince i watched the video of the first single of this album "Go Do", i loved the voice of Jonsi (kind of reminds me of Mathew Bellamy from Muse in some moments). I didnt liked much the album except for "Go Do", "Boy Lilikoi", and "Tornado". Well, as far as the album goes, its too pop for my taste, but i do like to hear "Go Do" from time to time. I prefer Jonsi when he is on Sigur Ros (also another great band, ill post about them someday), not that hes bad on his own, but scince its his first solo release, maybe with time, ill found something else from him more of my taste.
I found the player on Jonsi's site, and decided to put it here, save you some of your time. But i think its a little too big for the blog, still im going to leave it there, and hope that it doesnt bother you too much. Now, in order to get the free track "Tornado", you will have to sing your mail up, them a mail comes with a link to download.
Well, not everyday has to be free tracks, today there is something different. Here, i present to you "Best Regards" a new box set from Buckethead, in collaboration with Bryan Mantia (or also called Brain) and also Melissa Reese (who now collaborates with Brain). The box set is hand drawn by the three artists (Buckethead is the Bucket, Brain is the chinese guy, and Reese is the 3 dots), its also numbered. This is 5 Cd box set that recently got out (July 15th, to be excact), it may be a little expensive (75 dollars, without shipping which is 3 dollars national (U.S.A.), 6 dollars international) but some of the tracks are very good. This is not the first time he release a big box set, in 2007 he released a 13 CD one called "In Search Of The", which in comparison fall behind this new release due to the ammount of song and % of them that i can actually listen fully (to me some of the songs from I.S.O.T aret much of my taste). This is also the first release scince Buckethead went to the hospital, which for us the hardcore fans means that hes better.
Remember this is a limited edition release, and the faster you act, more are the chances of you getting one.
Anyways, to sumarize this is a good release (not one of the best works, but still good), and for those of you who wonder if spending 75 bucks on tracks that are longer than half an hour could be bad, or your still undecided, dont panic!!. Because in TDRS (label were they distribute the album) they said that a standard version of this box set will be made, but didnt said when,. They did say that when the unidentified number of limited edition copies ran out, they will wait a couple of months to release a normal release. But when they do, they will put samples of some songs, for the non belivers. So when i have more information ill update ASAP.
Also as a separate fact, reese told that this is the first volume (out of 3), this means that there are 2 more 5 CD box sets awaiting from this trio, start saving money everyone.
I hope that is post will alert some of you to buy it. And as usual if you did bought it, i hope you enjoy it.
Today, i bring you Dream Theater, is a progressive rock band. Its so good, ive listened to this song a lot, i even also tried to learn it on guitar untill i reached the solo and then... wel if you hear the song you'll know what i mean. The band has some excelent players, some of you may already know John Petrucci, guitarrist, usually acknowledged as one of the best in this field. Mike Portnoy, the drummer, also the brain behind all of this, hes also recognised as one of the best. Bassist, John Myung, very quiet, but deadly with the bass (ive seen him live twice, and just blows me away). There is also James LaBrie, and Jordan Rudess, which i dont like much but in this band they fit like a ring to the finger.
Anyways, "A Rite of Passage" is a lenghty song that talks about Freemasonry. Its also one of the few songs that has a video, but that one is for single purposes and the take away like 3 minutes of song. Just for the masses that dont understnd much of music and just hear those 2-3 mintues song that arent much of my taste (rap, pop, that kind of thing). For the ones of you who dont know what Roadrunner Records is, its a record label were Dream Theater is signed, they are offering the track for free in that page, not strings attached, no newsletters, just click, and download.
Hello everyone, another day, another post. Today i present to all of you Serj Tankian, singer from the awesome band System of a Down. The band is now on hiatusm and so, our friend Serj decided to start his solo career, already releasing "Elect the Dead" (also another good album, maybe ill coment on that one in another time), he went to make a live album with an orchestra. Now hes ready to release this new album called "Imperfect Harmonies" on September (the 7th actually), and he says that in this one hes trying to mix the orchestra with electronics and make them one piece, because he thinks no one else has mannaged to succesfully done it.
Anyways, this track is filled with political lines (one of Serj specialties), but with music sounds so good, that i think ive heard it almost 40 times. The usual link to get the song leads you to a page in which you have to give your mail in order to get the song. If you give the mail you will be in Serj's newsletter, and i have to warn you that if you are not much of a fan of Serj, you better just see the video, and then click on the third link below the video (comes in a zip file). The video itself is with lyrics if you cant understand what Serj is saying with the borders of each country of the world just dissapearing (how original ¬¬).
