TenDead - Return of The Ancient

Very happy to introduce my readers to TenDead. They are a three piece band from Omaha, Nebraska. The album starts with "Government" the guitar sounds great, so deep, yet clear and brutal. Next up is the title track Return of The Ancient, its got a creepy spine tingling intro that builds into a low guttural composition. Eyes of the Son, I hear a Neurosis influence to this, vocals are perfect for the low tuned guitar and bass. Nephilim, is probably my favorite so far, some really sick lyrics and mosh stomping riffs. System Breakdown, what an awesome jam, found myself headbanging for a bit, I am reminded of Down or early Crowbar. Our Truth, splendid guitar harmonies spread all over this song, great drums driving this monster track. What is A Lie, toms and double kicks are massive at the start leading us into a very catchy chorus. Gold, sounds somewhat different like it was recorded at a different time, not a bad thing just more raw than the other more polished tracks, in this track the vocals hit a death metal style low, its good to hear such deep guitar and bass maintain clarity, at those levels is hard to achieve in production TenDead does it well. The New, this is the last song in my listening adventure of this album, a very nice surprise as it starts with a clean guitar and instantly I am grabbed by how well the vocals compliment this vast layer of harmony. Overall I am impressed by this album, there is so much to be explored, with a few surprises to have all listeners interested. I recommend it for fans of Down, Neurosis, Crowbar or old Black Sabbath.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
