Foul Agent 007 - Tragically Comical

An expression through the use of manipulation. The elevation of mental instruments with an intention to inspire and/or relate. An interest to delve into the depths through the elements of sound. Foul Agent involves various sounds to conjure a simple, yet intriguing setting, which, depending on one's mood and/or musical interests, can create a calming environment. Tragically Comical is their second release and deals with a more melodic approach, containing lengthy drum patterns and a more aggressive sound than most of the material.

Fleurety - Min Tid Skal Komme

A Post-Black/Avant-Garde Metal band from Ytre Enebakk, Norway. Fleurety started out with structual influences from early rock, but later broadened their musical horizon by experimenting with various elements of Jazz and Industrial music. In 1995, the band released the album Min Tid Skal Komme, as a cooperation between Aesthetic Death Records and Misanthropy Records. This recording featured a Progressive/Psychedelic Black Metal style with atonal harmonics, folk music elements, and female vocals by Norwegian pop singer Marian Aas Hansen.

Universal Temple Of Divine Power - Hand Of God

Granted the name of this Detroit 4 piece sounds more suited to members of some Jim Jones styled Kool-Aid drinking suicide cult, but this band from the Motor City worships at the altar of early 70's blues based rock. Think Humble Pie, Cactus, Mountain and Grand Funk Railroad mixed with high octane blues boogie and you might get an approximation of what to expect on the band's debut release 'Hand Of God'.
