Ashes of the Forgotten - Dark Aeons

Ashes of the Forgotten is a four piece band from Dallas, TX. Members are TJ - Vocals, Conner- Guitar, Chase - Guitar, Tony - Drums, Max - Bass. Genre is described as Extreme Metal/Death Metal/Deathcore.

 Dark Aeons EP released under ATP records on April 19 2014. A solid production. Heavy and distinct guitar tones, crushing bass rhythms, strong drums and low to mid guttural vocal ranges. The opening track "The Void", grabs my interest right away, an eerie melodic piece. Keys with an over-layed storm sample is very well composed and memorable. Simple and effective writing style, no over complex rhythms. Hints of Lamb of God or Meshuggah in a few of the tracks but they keep their own flavor happening through out. 

 Although I enjoyed the entire ep, some of the more stand out songs for me would have to be "Forty Two", for its catchy rhythm and stomping bass lines, it makes you want to headbang and punch things. Depraved Awakening, for its fast and devastating feeling, I really enjoyed the double kick work being projected by drummer Tony on this particular song. I also liked the dual high and low vocals verses, they are well placed and easy to remember. In conclusion, the ep is a great debut for the band and they have much to offer from heavy to melodic compositions, you are bound to find something to please your ears in each song. I look forward to what they will create in the future. Be sure to check out their music at ashesoftheforgotten.bandcamp ~Artemortifica.

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?
