Deafheaven - Brought to the Water


From the upcoming album "New Bermuda", out October 2nd, 2015.

A typical Deafheaven melodic-black-ambient-post-rock-his-voice-is-hard-to-dig song, but there are some beautiful clean parts in the mid-section / at the end, and really tasty riffing in many places.

The song and the album are surely worth a listen. Score: 3

Iron Maiden - Speed Of Light


From the upcoming album "The Book Of Souls", out September 4th, 2015.

A vintage Maiden song with characteristic Bruce's vocals and the cowbells. Nothing prog in it apart from the video which is made for the fans of computer games and heavy metal. Yes, please.

Worth a watch. Score: 3

Support the guys on IndieGoGo! Score: 5
