Phinehas' latest EP The Bridge Between features an interesting mix of rearranged works from their previous albums and a couple new tracks. Some of these are pretty great, like the heavily thrashed out “Panhammer” (originally from 2009's The Phinehas EP) while others are somewhat puzzling, such as the acoustic version of “A Pattern in Pain” (which debuted on 2011's thegodmachine album) or just plain bad *cough* “Enkindler” *cough*
With Atreyu on what is seemingly an indefinite hiatus and with none of these “Surprise, we’re back” tours that always spread like a plague amongst bands that just can’t call it quits, drummer Brandon Saller has gone out on his own and created new band: Hell or Highwater. They’ve taken what his previous band started, and rocktified the shit out of it on debut album Begin Again.
Let’s get one thing sorted from the get go, this is not rock'n'roll, but GODDAM it is some cool shit! There is so much to take in and grab hold of here that fans of all styles, especially progressive rock/metal, will find something to latch onto and obsess over.

There are certain things you expect when listening to the Misfits: 1950s and 60s sci-fi horror movie references, barbershop quartet style harmonies, and New York punk sensibilities. This latest release manages to deliver one of the three.
Blissful psychedelic hippie oriental electronic experimental pop music. Yes, this is quite a handful to spill from your mouths, but this is exactly what the duo The Glass Canoe have done with their most recent album Through Lianas. It takes your mind on a trip at first, making you think, “What the hell is this?” but once that’s over and done with, the album is essentially a sonic masterpiece.
In perusing Spoken’s press release, it states that the band’s latest and greatest release, Illusion, “is an exercise in aggression and calculated fragility. Laced with testosterone, the album throws down with the elite of metal and hardcore in calculated moments of heaviness. But what makes this record distinctive is not its speedy riffage or its pounding beats, but its emotional candor.”
If you weren’t familiar with their work, you should definitely take a listen now. Tomahawk took a break to “discover the many truths of the universe.” Oddfellows is the result of the aforementioned break, and they must have dug in deep to find what they delivered with Oddfellows. Oddfellows is releasing worldwide this January 2013 on Ipecac Recordings, but not prior to giving RockRevolt™ the aural pleasure of reviewing it. Oh yes. I was pleased!
