Artist: CHANEL BEADS
Who: Musical project of American art-pop
singer-songwriter Shane Lavers.
Album: YOUR DAY WILL COME
His 2nd LP, named exactly the same
as his debut one from 2024.
NME says: “The New York artist is all about refinement rather than repetition. The songs add up to a melodic, daring work that poses knotty questions about the reflexivity of listening and whether it’s possible for an artist to achieve a clean break from expectations, like a dissertation you can kick back to.”
Eh, hello to you too.

Who: Notorious British
doom metal vets.
Album: RITUALS OF SHAME
Their brand new one
and first in 20 years.
Sputnikmusic says: “It’s absolutely insane how they can come back after 20 years and drop an album of this magnitude. Sit down, lay back and get lost in the darkness my friends.”

finds himself, out there in the trenches, caught between two sides, working
out his own peculiar place in the world.”

Band: MAKES MY BLOOD DANCE
Who: New York-based act producing an exciting
hybrid of electro-goth, pop-metal and electronic
dance music.
Album: #Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!
Read: Zero To Light Speed.
It’s their debut and features serrated guitars and dance-floor synths locked in
a frenetic embrace, vocals that move from operatic power to breathy seduction,
and basslines designed to rattle both club subs and metal venues alike.
MMBD’s sonic palette evokes a post-apocalyptic ballroom and is a
bold statement of intent from a band that refuses to be predictable.
Utterly cool, glamorous, showy and inventive artwork.

Artist: BLADEE
Who: The moniker of notorious Swedish
rapper Benjamin Thage Dag Reichwal.
Album: SULFUR SURFER
His 8th in 16 years. Busy guy.
Dazed says: “This album is dense, with Bladee pastiching disparate references
to Lord of the Rings, Dragon Ball Z, Mary Poppins, Christian mysticism and more
into the postmodern artwork that is his singular musical universe, a world in which
good and evil, nihilism and hope, and, ultimately, fantasy and reality intertwine.”
I looked at the cover from different angles. I must
say that Bladee doesn’t look like a surfer at all.
