For the past month I simply can't stop listening to the new album by "The Rasmus". Back from their 5 year hiatus they created an album that's a masterpiece in my eyes. "Dark Matters" is a lot more poppier vocally than some of their past work but the instruments remain a bit on the edgier side. Unlike other bands like Linkin Park, Theory of a Deadman, and a few others who took a poppier route with their 2017 albums The Rasmus never changed their tone or theme which I believe is the key as to why it's being received so well by the fans. Many of the songs that didn't catch me at first such as "Silver Light" has begun to grow on me and I honestly can't really list a track I don't like. I just wished they would advertise that they were back a bit more because a lot of people have no clue they are back together. The viewer count of their new videos being between 700k-1.2 mil is quite a stretch from say 32 million.  


Here's their two amazing singles that really captures what the new album is about:

"Wonderman" is a powerful song about those who are different and misunderstood and embracing who themselves in this world that isn't exactly cut out for them.



"Paradise" is was their first single of the album and it really captures the darker tones of what the band is more known for. It's really catchy.



Over all the album is amazing and it gets better with more listens. It started as a 8/10 and rose up to a damn near 10/10 for me. The track "Crystalline" really hits its it for me. It's amazing how there are so many different ways to interpret this band and what their songs means to you is different for everyone. Such an amazing album and musical experience.

Hole 'Live Through This'. Literally in the background right now.



Radiohead - Present Tense

I actually didn't realize how good this song was till yesterday. I'm slowly starting to like AMSP more even though I thought it was just ok when it released.

nothing special at the moment, but i'm waiting hard for the next rammstein album



I've been listening to Royal Blood's latest album.




Not a fan of the new album at all. This is the only song on the whole album that I like. It's catchy and I love it!




Been listening to Keldian's new album Darkness & Light pretty much on constant repeat since it was released last month.  Been a long time coming for this one:

Also recently discovered a Swedish ban called Night and their latest album Raft of the World. It's pretty amazing, has a classic 70's rock / early NWOBHM vibe to it:

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm listening to my new song here, called 'Last Day of Earth'.
Here please.

I've made a rough translation for its text into English for my US friend.

You can read it here if you're interested ;)

Last Day of Earth

You've seen the day and seen the light
And know the bustle of a fight
And nobody's eternal under sun

But it's all gone and time have come
For fire in your eyes to fade
And you don't have a purpose in front of you

The air is still, silent and pale
The fog is gathered around you
And in the haze the last scream had frozen

The world is almost dead
You've finished all your deads
And the last day of the Earth
You're ready to meet

And in the dance, again, like always
Friends, cities, airports
Whirling together in your memory

They are impossible to forget
What it means just to take and live
Staying in the peoples memories

All thats around is an mundane gloom
And in the end, you'll stay naked
Just as you were in front of yourself

The world is almost dead
You've finished all your deads
And the last day of the Earth
You're ready to meet

On the joint of rainbow worlds
Staying shining and severe
And ready to pass the edge

The world is almost dead
You've finished all your deads
And the last day of the Earth
You're ready to meet
