New tracks round up

Matishayu – One Day [Light]
Love Matisyahu here and now he’s back finally with a follow up to 2006’s excellent Youth album, Light out August 25th. Here is the first single “One Day”. It opens with his trademark gentleness with an underlying string section as the rhymes flow over. Thematically, Matisyahu roams still in familiar ground; solidarity, yearning for peace etc. – “I've been praying for the people to say that we don’t wanna fight no more”. But what’s great about Matisyahu is that he’s not forcing his religion or ideals down your throat, regardless of your ideologies you can enjoy his music. “One Day” is no different, a blinder!




Converge – Dark Horse [Axe To Fall]
In some almost typical hardcore fashion a bass and drums intro rolls into these 2.52 minutes of unbridled chaos.
Converge then tear into a searing riff which runs throughout the track while
Jacob Bannon’s throat shredding vocals erupt causing the track to come avalanching down. Relentless but engaging stuff! Their new album Axe To Fall is out in October
