Crannk Chats With Corners Of Sanctuary

Hailing out of the New York hardcore scene is Court Order a band through determination, hard work, and commitment Court Order is ready to take their music to the world. Having already shared the stage with the likes of Left Behind, Bodysnatcher, Ingested, Falsifier, and Slaughter to Prevail in 2019, and now 2020 see the release of their self titled album filled to the brim with unreal Hardcore moments that will stick with you. I caught up with all the guys from Court Order for a really great chat about Influences, beginnings, the previous Ep "Infinite Decay" which was really Court Order working towards a steady consistent line-up, the latest self-titled release, and a whole heap more, and I also play the track Poor Excuse off their latest self-titled album. \m/

Court Order Chat Final master with track

I caught up with Brian, Vince, and Joe from Melodeath metallers The Last Reign to talk about the latest album "Evolution" released September 18th, line up changes, influences, In Flames, and all things The Last Reign.\m/

Metal has long had a deep-rooted affection for science fiction, and nowhere is this clearer than in melodic death metal. While the genre is still very much an active part of the future, there are still many that long for the dizzying heights of the 90s, where melodeath evolved into a formidable beast. Speaking of evolution, one such group who bring back that same excitement of the 90s are The Last Reign, whose second album Evolution spins a grandiose tale of a concept album, four years in the making.



Each of the members are veterans in and out of their native Buffalo, New York metal scene. Vocalist Adam Svensson brings a melodeath pedigree from Fireborn and Dragonwind, while guitarist Brian Platter, bassist Joe Maggio, and drummer Vince Mayer add a wealth of knowledge from rock, punk, and metal - including local metalcore legends Herod in Platter's case. Even though three quarters of the lineup are new to the band as of 2019, the guys have gelled together seamlessly, as can be heard across Evolution's 55-minute runtime.

Leading his merry band, Platter is a whirlwind of earworm melodies and riffs that draw from his (and the rest of the band's) clear love of 90s melodeath. Let this not be seen as a clone of those that came before, though - this is appreciation not appropriation. There is plenty of diversity within the confines of the genre, as well; "The Hourglass" delves into proggy realms, while "No Horizon" zips off into the distance, Mors Principium Est's Andy Gillion at the helm to deliver a frenetic solo. "Ironclad Torment" and "Evolution of a Dying Race", meanwhile, highlight one of the band's other strengths, which are thundering breakdowns and scream-along choruses amply aided by the punchy drumming. Svensson's vocals sit pretty atop the mix, a blend of In Flames' high shrieks (circa first four records) and Soilwork's lows that weave Evolution's narrative.

It goes deeper than the music, however. In the band's own words, the record is "about the world's resources being long depleted sending the human race on a quest for an uncertain future." While this album can certainly be enjoyed on its own, those who wish to dive further into the plot can enjoy the Evolution's novelization by lyricist and ex-vocalist Mike Marlinski, entitled Evolution of a Dying Race. In any case, The Last Reign are proof that melodeath of the old school is alive and well, with a widescreen vision and maturity that befits the individual members' experience.

The Last Reign are:
 Adam Svensson - vocals

Brian Platter - guitars

Joe Maggio - bass

Vince Mayer - drums

Crannk Interviews The Last Reign Interview

I caught up with Anders vocalist for Denver Sludge/Hardcore Punk band Vulgarian for a great chat about how the band formed, politics, and music which go hand in hand for Vulgarian (but so does 90% of Punk and Metal) and a cool track by track walkthrough of their debut album "Human Scum" due for release October 30th.

Human Scum is the debut album of Denver hardcore sludge band Vulgarian. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered in August of 2020 at World Famous Studios by Pete De Boer -- engineer of Blood Incantation's Starspawn (2016) and Hidden History of the Human Race (2019). Human Scum features artwork by Ethan McCarthy of Primitive Man and Vermin Womb. Within each track is a tirade against racism, corruption, police and state violence, and the overall erosion of individual rights, and is the culmination of Vulgarian's four years of railing against the political and cultural hellscape that has unfolded in the wake of the election of Donald Trump.

Crannk Interviews Vulgarian

Kinkshamer is a Los Angeles-based NSFW progressive metalcore/deathcore band who released their debut EP Societal Sects in 2019 and each song on the EP revolves around a particular fetish, kink, or aspect of sex. Currently, the group plans to follow-up their debut EP with even more provocative, shocking, and most of all kinky music in the future. For now, they have pieced together some raunchy and stimulating visuals for the whole Societal Sects EP over the month of October with the “Climax, Control, Closure” released today.
Jai That Aussie Metal Guy from crannk.com recently caught up with Kinkshamer vocalist Riley to talk about all things Kinkshamer, including bringing back the shock factor with Kinkshamer, “Societal Sects” EP, and what’s next for the band.
