Breeman AMV ...and more

Robot Restaurant was a "robot" themed Vegas style show in Shinjuku. The show involves multiple segments. Everything from a drum battle and love ballads to, robot boxing and bizarre intergalactic battles. The true nature of what we witnessed was too crazy to explain, so just check out their website: http://www.robot-restaurant.com/

A.I.(d) releases Hidden Clouds!

Hidden Clouds is a song off of the upcoming album Alchemy. Wow that will be a crazy one! I thought A.I.(d) was on hold, or definitively stopped, this is a releasing news! Crazy glitch-djent with ambient hints and great solos!

You can also download his demos Schematic Emergency and Never Mind Pulse on bandcampand his two previous…

Aenea – Perennial EP

The fact that the album was released in 2011 should not make you overlook it, for it is one pretty damn fine piece of music! San Diego’s Aenea made some really strong progressive metal even in an age shrouded in djent copycats. For your information, this band isn’t one.

Deciding to ditch the new “progressive metal” sound (note the quotation marks andthe italic letters) in favour of the more…

Art Far Away – Verisimilitude & The Second Estate

If Cynic hadn’t gone in silence after the release of the acclaimed album Focus, they would’ve probably ended sounding like Art Far Away. I know, I know, that’s no small deal elevating any other band than Cynic to the rank of Cynic, but hear me out.

Art Far Awaymakes something that doesn’t sound too far from what I’d call…

24192 releases a new track!

Continuing his series of literal titles, Metal 100 BPM is now the 6th song available from the anonymous, mysterious Russian guitar virtuoso. You can download it for free by following this link and downloading the 6th one. All of his other known songs are there, too, so give it a go!

Kevin Suter – Pathways

Warp Prism’s guitarist Kevin Suter is releasing a so-called small EP that is in fact longer than some albums, at just under 30 minutes. This is a first good news! Another one being that it’s absolutely fantastic and a great listen.

Tagged only as “experimental metal”, I’d prefer the designation “instrumental progressive metal”, as I think it’s more representative of the work here. A nice mix of…

The odious news concerning The Odious

Über bummer alert : The Odious, the ever-impressing, talented and original band from Portland, those who brought us That Night A Forest Grew and the over-the-top Joint Ventures, the same ones who dared not blend a lot of stuff into their musical blender… Yes… these guys! The Odious is on hiatus!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Here’s the sad news, from the mouth of Spencer :

It is with a heavy heart that…

Peculate’s album Fiscal Cliffs now available for download on our bandcamp!

If you still needs reasons to go and check out the band of the insanely talented Ben, I don’t think it will help to tell you that it’s an experimental jazz-classical-metal fusion kind of thing. Well, it’s now on our own bandcamp page, as well as on Peculate‘s official one, and after you check it out, take some time to take a listen to all the other amazing, experimental, out-of-the-box, weird,…

/r/CTEBCM subreddit is up and running!

Hey guys! I’ve just created a subreddit for the blog! I think this will help you, and us, discovering new music by users suggestions, and also be more efficient in spreading the word about awesome music! For now, it might feel kinda blank ’cause it’s the first day, but fear not, we will bring life into it!

So feel free to share awesome music links so that we might come to listen to it, and maybe…

OhBree – Death By Broomstick

Ever wished that poppy folk-ish music existed with brass, variations, a bit of prog and a bit of jazz? You got Sufjan Stevens, who does incredible stuff. If that’s too mellow for you, and you feel like partying more, or dancing even, well here comes OhBree with all the aforementioned elements, plus the element of surprise! Ah ha!

Am I comparing a petty little unknown band to the almighty god of…
