Elmo to play final show on July 31

It's a shame since I've just discovered them (and have been listening constantly), but Elmo will be playing their final show at Kulekalaset in Luleå on July 31. On a more positive note however, mainman Magnus Ekelund is doing new stuff under his own name på Svenska -- listen at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/magnusekelund (via)

MP3: Tyrant - The rebirth... (reclaim the flame)

Pretty much the only thing I really feel like listening to these days is old-school death metal. Well, that and Elmo, but we'll revisit them at another time. I'm not particularly angry or anything, I just like the way it sounds, especially when it's played in its rawest, more purest form. No blazing blastbeats, no overcooked technicality, just pure sickness -- that's what Tyrant is all about. Their debut LP (today's mp3 is the title track) is actually a couple years old now, but I only just recently got into 'em so it's new to me and perhaps maybe new to you too. Not that it sounds "new", but that's precisely the point! It's a perfect tribute to old masters such as Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Autopsy, Venom and so on, infused with the classic tones that Sweden is known for. Fitting that the members of the band are all old heads too; so many youngsters seem to miss the point or refuse to take it seriously. These dudes have their hearts in it, that's for sure, and they know exactly what they're doing. "This is the rebirth, reclaim the flame! It's time to raise the dead!" Hell yeah.

MP3: Elmo - Darkness falls

Too much work to do, not enough time to crawl through the daily updates. Let's make this quick: Elmo are a melodramatic pop band from way the fuck up north in Sweden who sound more than a little like Broder Daniel. I know that totally sounds like a recipe for disaster on paper, but somehow they pull it off -- I've been listening to the new album "Once" over and over ever since I received in earlier this week. No, they're not as brilliant as the original masters of teenage melancholy, but I'll shrug it off when hit with grandiose sentiments such as "We were not supposed to die!" So over the top! I'm loving it.
