New Music Alert! Sündenrausch ft. Chris Pohl: “Original Sin”

New Music + Forgive My Absence

I’m actually going to start with the second half of my title. I haven’t posted in almost four months. Things have been really hectic since the start of Covid-19, as all of you know. In my case, I got a new job right as everything was shutting down. Lucky, right? I’ve been working a lot and the hours have been fairly steady, but the shifts aren’t very consistent. I’m tired more often than not, and I don’t do much on my days off. I guess this site just fell to the wayside. I would love to say that I’m back; however, I can’t promise that at the moment.

Now, for the important part of this post: NEW MUSIC!

Today, I woke up to a couple of songs from artists I adore (and have mentioned here frequently) — Third Realm and Aesthetic Perfection. The first is a collaboration between Vizion X and Third Realm, entitled “Joker,” while the second is Aesthetic Perfection’s ode to spooky season: a cover of “Pet Sematary,” originally by the Ramones. I will post the videos below.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to tell y’all about the new EP from my favorite Canadian duo, Strvngers. They have used their time in lockdown to record and the result is an EP that will drop December 15th. For a taste of what’s coming, keep an eye out for the first single/video, “Vita Brevis,” which will be released October 9th. And of course I will share it on my blog!

I hope this entry finds all of you well! Happy first day of Halloween! 🖤🧡

Album of the Week: Massive Ego’s Beautiful Suicide

I just discovered Massive Ego, thanks to YouTube’s related videos list. I chose 2017’s Beautiful Suicide as album of the week because it includes the first song I ever heard by the band — “I Idolize You” — as well as my favorite Massive Ego track, “For the Blood in Your Veins,” which features Chris Pohl.
