Every Time I Die – Low Teens

Every Time I Die – Low Teens

Reviewed By: George Archibald

The very angst driven Every Time I Die will never surrender, and it shows on their latest release Low Teens released on September 23rd. Low Teens is the eight studio release for this band over its 18-year existence. Low Teens sports the bands signature take on southern style rock fused with heavy grooves throughout. Vocalist Keith Buckley, also brings back the ‘hook’ on many of the songs choruses, instilling a chant anthem along with the album.

To kick off the promotion of the album, Every Time I Die dropped the single, “The Coin Has A Say”. The song starts off with its stylized riffing that has been a trademark move for the band over the years. They then follow up with a driving drum beat, carrying the song to a huge breakbeat styled breakdown to bring the song to its end. Keith Buckley is just as energetic as he is driven belting out line after line, like staples to the brain.

The song “Map Change”, kicks off with a really heavy driven guitar riff before being joined by Buckley’s screaming styled vocals. Buckley then changes over to more singing vocal style to accompany the break. The song then leads into a big vocal lead rush by Buckley, dropping the main hook “I weighed down the earth….” The song seems to encompass the feeling of desperation, and ending with a glimpse of hope to carry on.

If you are new to Every Time I Die this is a great starting point to ETID solid catalog. If you are looking for an album to bang your head along to with memorable grooves littered throughout, this is the album for you. Low Teens is available now and is also streaming on Spotify, make sure to check it out.

Marilyn Manson is Back

Ron

Marilyn Manson just released his 12th album “One Assassination Under God-Chapter 1” on November 22nd 2024. 

This album in my opinion is the best album Manson has put out since Holy Wood.   It has a feeling of albums old and new with little hints of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood. 

The album opens up with “One Assassination Under God” which just gets you ready for what’s to come. With Manson Just finishing his tour, This is the Manson we have been needing for years now. He looks good and sounds great. 

Putting out a few singles from the album , the overall feeling of this album is great. It’s been a while since I’ve like a full album of Manson, while this album isn’t perfect it’s as close as perfection of those early albums were. Of course I love the singles “As Sick as the Secrets we Keep” and “Raise the Red Flag” but I also really enjoyed songs like “Death is not a costume”, “Nod if you understand” and “Sacrilegious” 

I think this new chapter of Mansons life and music is exciting , I hope we get more tours in 2025 and maybe some over the top stage shows like we did in the late 90s early 2000s. I feel the younger generation hasn’t experience a real “Full” on Manson show yet and it’s time for the King to take back his throne at the top of the Shock Rock mountain. 

ALL HAIL MARILYN MANSON

BUSH 30th ANNIVERSARY OF “SIXTEEN STONE” VINYL

Ron

Published

I remember when this album came out in 1994 . I was 15 and really discovering all types of music. As being a typical teenage boy I seen the band name “Bush” and thought hmm I love bush, let’s check it out.  It was such an amazing album from beginning to end.  

The new  released vinyl that just came out on November 17th is such a testament to this album being as great then as it is now. Listening to the vinyl just brought back so many memories of being an angst teenager that just wanted to heard. The vinyl package is amazing with lots of photos of the band throughout the years and the sound of the vinyl is so pristine. 

I got my hands on the opaque red vinyl and just looks awesome spinning on the player. It’s crazy to think that this album has so many hits and no filler songs, even the songs that didn’t become hits are just as good as the hits. 

With the hits being “Glycerine”, “Everything Zen” , “Comedown” “Little Things” and “Machinehead” but some of my favorite songs are not the hits songs like “Swim”, “Bomb” and “Alien” which is probably my favorite song on the album. If you’re a fan of Bush or this album or just want to dive into the mid 90s Grunge/Post Grunge era this is a key album to have in your collection.

ALICE IN CHAINS “BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE” VINYL REVIEW

Alice In Chains have Re-Released the 2009 album on vinyl. This album was the first Alice In Chains in 14 years and the first album with guitarist/singer Willam DuVall after Layne Staley passed away in 2002. 

I was a huge Alice In Chains fan and was a big fan of both Layne and Jerry. When this album first came out I remember sorta pushing it the side only cause of sadness about Layne but after hearing “Check My Brain” I gave it a chance and was so glad that I did. This album is amazing and really put Alice In Chains back into the mainstream. 

The vinyl not only looks super awesome but sounds amazing. If you’re a fan of Alice In Chains and into collecting Vinyl, this album is a must in your collection. It’s a great packed vinyl with 2 vinyls included. 

Side A: All Secrets Known, Check My Brain and Last of My Kind. Side B: Your Decision, A Looking in View. Side C: When The Sun Rose Again, Acid Bubble, Lesson Learned. Side D: Take Her Out, Private Hell, Black Gives Away To Blue
