My Music Path

Holy Fawn is a shoegaze/doomgaze band from Phoenix, Arizona and after their awesome debut album 'Death Spells' in 2018, they released a surprise EP 'The Black Moon' in January of this year. Can they create that same feeling I got when I heard 'Loveless' for the first time?  Tracklist: 1. Candy 2. Tethered 3. Blood Pact The short answer, they do. The long answer is this entire review haha. For me, the idea of shoegaze is first trying to feel some superficial emotion, which opens up much deeper lying ones. Call it euphoric sadness, or cathartic, in the end, you’re addicted to that feeling and you dive into the genre and never come out. That’s what happened to me when I saw a fragment of a noisy, distorted clip on MTV back in the ’90s. I really liked the ocean of guitar noise sound and the angelic vocals. Years later I found out that I saw the 'Only Shallow' clip from My Bloody Valentine. Because of that, I started a journey into that genre and it has...

On the 1st of May Prosthetic Records brought out the 8th album by Dutch black metal band An Autumn For Crippled Children called 'All Fell Silent, Everything Went Quiet'. If the band name surprised you, you’re not the only one. I couldn't think of a genre that would fit it, maybe some obscure grindcore band or something like that.  Tracklist 1. I Became You 2. Water's Edge 3. Everlasting 4. Paths 5. Silver 6. None More Pale 7. All Fell Silent, Everything Went Quiet 8. The Failing Senses 9. Craving Silence 10. Distance Formed in 2009 in Friesland, a province in the Netherlands, AAFCC has been putting out records almost every year. And  ' All Fell Silent, Everything Went Quiet' is an album that  makes me feel like I'm flying above the ocean, looking at the raging monsters and demons below the surface. That's what black metal and shoegaze always do, they make you feel. It's music that's positive and not in a happy-go-lucky kind of way. It reminds yo...

Sadness, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Damián Antón Ojeda released his fifteenth (!) full-length album 'I Want To Be There' on April 7th. The album will be released on vinyl on September 21st. Tracklist 1. In The Distant Travels 2. I Want To Be With You 3. Moments 4. I Want To Be There 5. You Dance Like The June Sky 6. Somewhere The Mexican-born American founded Sadness in 2014 and calls himself Elisa in this project. Given his many other music projects, including an improv jazz piano project, an ambient project and a post-metal / hardcore project, we can say that this guy breathes music. And he is only 22. With Sadness he tries to bridge the gap between shoegaze, ambient and black metal and he has succeeded greatly. 'I Want To Be There' lasts 40 minutes and in that time he immerses you in a sea of ​​guitar walls, tremolo picking, colourful, sad ambient sounds, and black metal vocals from afar. The album is more comfo...
