Genre: NWOBHM

Biography:
“Justice Injustice is the new single from British Metal Revival band Kaine. The single was recorded in two days at Three Circles Recording Studio earlier this year and was produced by Ade Hare who had previously worked on the bands 2012 debut album Falling Through Freedom. The track was mastered by Z-Plane who had also worked on the bands last album The Waystone.
The song marks a return to the bands heavier routes with big riffs and harsh vocals provided by frontman Rage Sadler, epic lead guitars and solos from lead guitarists Saxon Davids and Ant Murch while being backed by the thunderous rhythm section of Dan Mailer on bass and Chris MacKinnon on drums.

As well as a change in musical direction from the band they have also taken a more back to basics approach with the production compared to their highly rated 2014 album “The Waystone”. The single will officially be released exclusively on digital download on July 13th 2015 with a small physical run to come later and is the second release from the band this year.
The track will also appear on the bands forthcoming third album!”

A few days ago I read that Dan Mailer had made a decision to quit Kaine due to financial strains. Although I can’t blame the guy and wish him a shed load of luck in his next endeavours, but it begs the question what will become of the now legendary band Kaine?

I personally, have been an avid follower of the band since around 2009 when things were particularly tough for the band and saw them come out of some tricky situations to come from nowhere right into the spotlight.

Hopefully, this will just be a minor setback and that Kaine will again rise and forge on stronger as this single, aptly named ‘Justice Injustice’ is a magnetic pull of inflamed sonic vibrations of pure unadulterated metal!

Its active riffs and pummeling unmercifully shows Kaine at their undiluted best and it is such a shame that the band have had yet another setback to endure, but despite this can still turn their attentions to creating full-on strides of metal that are powerful and provoking!

I sincerely hope the band decide to carry on their endeavours that will show further the dogged determination that Kaine possesses in enthusiastic abundance.

I personally have not seen any other band with so much resolve, conviction and fortitude, Kaine literally are a force to be reckoned with and deserve a chance to make it big, but sadly, a band can only do so much, after that, it is up to audience and the powers that be in order for a band to thrive – here’s hoping this will push them further on in their careers!

Genre: Progressive Alternative Metal

Biography:
Bult from Gothenburg, Sweden, plays progressive alternative death metal. The band released its first EP in 2009 followed by a 10” split with Iamus and another EP, both released on the indie label HoboRec. Bult’s sound is brutal and energetic, something that also reflects in the bands live shows where merciless energy is released in combination with tight musicianship, which leaves no one unaffected. Bult is a bold live band who has performed many shows through the years, including two tours in Texas, US, and the SXSW festival in Austin. Bult has recently finished its first full length album which will be released in 2015”

Bult - To destroy!

A Crude Awakening
If a vocal assault could cause a nuclear holocaust Bult would surely win the battle, as its repugnant scathing batters the ears to within an inch of their lives, on the opening track of this album. Its dark tones stalk and seek out the listener leaving no stone unturned.

The Merciless Zero of Existence
The writhing tones twist and turn into a malevolent force of brooding. Weaving a thunderous tirade through its creative content. The guitar riffs work considerably well with the carnivorous bass hooks and steely tempered beats.

The Deluge
Is one seething adventure from start to finish! Its ambient beginning just explode into a frenzy of caustic vocal lures and creative energy, sparked off by a bludgeoning rampage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“It is sickeningly venomous and vehement in delivery and will capture immediately with impacting effect!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shattered
The vocal force alone is not one for backing down as it engulfs the audial in a sinister tangling with molten riffs and hammering blast beats. The energy builds to an uncompromising scourge that sparks off an eager enthusiasm and holds plenty of addictive qualities.

Shattered

The Unbreakable Barrier
A track that holds plenty of provocation and aggression. It is likely to wipe out the universe in one riff alone! This scavenger will cause a chain reaction and inspires to conquer!

Obliteration
Evolving into a toxic brawl of untamed and dangerous vocal the music surrounding it, is an all-out dramatic festering frenzy, propelled by a steely drum beat.

Nebula
Has a rather spacey feel attached to it as well as a cold hostility that wraps itself engagingly around the aural cavities with sinister leanings that know no bounds or show any sign of weakness.

A burnt out shell
Is a scarring metal endeavour that lingers bringing a carnal intensity into the mix! It injects a highly addictive venom into its torrential grooves and vocally snarled out it is an extreme run of the scales that ignites into a prowling and predatory masterpiece.

Summary:
Swedish Death Metal – just in those three words alone should tell you that this band know how to engage and captivate a certain audience of the death metal variety!

Bult are indeed masters of their craft and equipped with all the right ingredients to spew out rapacious addiction with large chunks of groove and do it on a grand scale.

There are traces of melodic tendencies and not just a noise ridden abrasiveness.  The listener will come across the brutish encounter very early on and relish in its atmospheric plunder.

Bult have created an inflammatory imagination that is fed with hungry riffs and bruising beats that congeal to magnify and punctuate their ear-pleasing vocal edge!

It is sickeningly venomous and vehement in delivery and will capture immediately with impacting effect!

Death metal fans would be mad not to like this and if that is the case must be stone deaf to boot!
