	<description><![CDATA[Hebosagil's new album "Ura" finds them realizing the progression hinted at on their various recent splits (w/Viisikko and Two Beats Off), fully shedding their metal skin and emerging as a dangerous noiserock beast. Still heavy as hell, just in a different way: less low end and screaming leads, more dissonance and jarring rhythms. Still a great band too, now someone just needs to step up and press all their full-lengths to wax (not it!).]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I don't have money to burn, but if I did, I'd put out a comp with the best, most nihilistic, purely negative and dystopian-minded bands Scandinavia has to offer. And I don't know about how things look from where you sit, but I consider it to be the sound of our current zeitgeist and guess what? There are more than a few excellent specimens that fit the bill -- Haust and Hebosagil are two prime examples I've brought up in this context before; Frivolvol makes it a trinity. Listen, it takes a lot of effort to sound this ugly and it's obvious these dudes are pissed. Musically speaking, this is actually one of Frivolvol's more tamer moments (that instrumental section is almost... pretty), but those vocals sound like gargled glass; from the high-pitched screeches to the harsher, more forced low notes. His pain is yours to share. Unfortunately I wasn't provided a lyric sheet with my copy of their new album "Blades of steel", so I can't compare and contrast with the utter hopelessness expressed on previous record "Who needs maps when we got time", but my gut feeling is that things have not improved. All the better for us, the listeners, probably not so much for the guys in the band.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I should have probably talked this up a few months ago when it first came out, but it kind of doesn't matter because Hebosagil's debut EP "Cosmic" still sounds just as good today as when it was first released as a digital download back in 2007, likewise as it did when Rusto-Osiris reissued it on CD earlier this year. I try not to be one of those "the demo was the best!" sort of guys, but it's true so far -- the full-length follow-up "Colossal", though quite good, was not great. "Cosmic" remains one of the most punishing releases of the 00s so far and tracks like "Temple" prove it. It encompasses all things heavy: brutal, detuned riffs; blazing, face-melting leads; painful, harsh vocals; and so on and so forth. I just love the rawness of it all, too -- you can't talk about Hebosagil without bringing up just how distorted and crazy the recording is. It's completely disgusting, yet every instrument somehow remains distinct. I don't know how they did it, but they win.

I try not to be one of those "the demo was the best!" sort of guys, but it's true so far -- the full-length follow-up <i>"Colossal"</i>, though quite good, was not great. <i>"Cosmic"</i> remains one of the most punishing releases of the 00s so far and tracks like <i>"Temple"</i> prove it. It encompasses all things heavy: brutal, detuned riffs; blazing, face-melting leads; painful, harsh vocals; and so on and so forth. I just love the rawness of it all, too -- you can't talk about <b>Hebosagil</b> without bringing up just how distorted and crazy the recording is. It's completely disgusting, yet every instrument somehow remains distinct. I don't know how they did it, but they <i>win</i>. Other than maybe <b>Haust</b>, no other band brings the sound of the new world dystopia to life better than this.</p>]]></content:encoded>

	<description><![CDATA[Time to face facts: almost all music sucks. Or it's painfully mediocre at best. Lucky for you, I dig through the dregs each and every day to bring you the cream of the crap. It's an ugly job, but someone's gotta do it.



City
SOUNDS LIKE: Two dudes, one from Slagsmålsklubben and another from The High Fives, combine the best of both for pure electropop awesomeness.
HIGHLIGHTS: Fantisera
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/citysweden



Dear Derailed
SOUNDS LIKE: Upstart Swedes resurrecting the sounds of early emo/hardcore and mixing it up with late-90s Swedish indie. Maybe not as promising as the disappointingly non-prolific Voices Break the Silence, but definitely along the same lines.
HIGHLIGHTS: Feel me tremble
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/dearderailed



Livaventura
SOUNDS LIKE: Total Sonic Youth worship/indie noiserock out of Denmark. Their upcoming album "...And they slept with their eyes open" is/will be one of 2009's best new releases.
HIGHLIGHTS: Keep on driving, Connections
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/livaventura



Pure Faen
SOUNDS LIKE: Lunkheaded rock'n'roll ala The Dictators/The Ramones with the singalong choruses of the Toy Dolls. Perfect drinking music!
HIGHLIGHTS: Pure faen for faen, Hold kjeft
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/purefaen



Sonic Ritual
SOUNDS LIKE: Dirtball 70s rock played with punkrock intensity and aggression. There was a trend of this stuff 10 years ago or so, but it sounded like a put-on -- nowadays it seems far more natural for old men to play old-man rock.
HIGHLIGHTS: Take the edge off, Don't wanna feel alright
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/sonicritualofficial



Viisikko
SOUNDS LIKE: Raw hardcore sludge from the darkest recesses of Finland. If a band is worthy of doing a split with Hebosagil, you know they're good.
HIGHLIGHTS: All (both?) tracks are good
LINK: http://www.myspace.com/viisikko

	<description><![CDATA[It turns out I was hasty is my assessment of "Big sun", the first track released from Hebosagil's new album "Colossal", because the rest of the record is totally slays. At first I was put off by how much slower and doomier the material is, but once I got used to it, I was able to properly appreciate its greatness. There's some serious studio wizardry going on here too, though it might not be obvious to a lot of folks. I'm not sure how they do it, but they manage to push every single instrument way into the red (listen to the drum rumble on "Cosmic"!), yet it remains clear and crisp enough to individually pick them out of the mix. And it seriously is the most blown-out, fucked-up brutal sound too, like, as I've said before, Sunlight Studios to the nth degree. That bass is absolutely monstrous and all the guitar leads are pure scorchers. In a word: awesome.
"River" is by far the most raging track on the album, so that's the one I'm gonna share today. It's not exactly the best representation of what the rest of the album has to offer as I'm sure you can imagine since it's not doomy at all, but screw it -- it floored me when I first heard it, so that's what you're gonna get. Easily one of the best heavy releases of 2008 thus far.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I'm leaving for Stockholm today, but that doesn't mean I leave you reader's empty-handed. Expect mp3 posts and review updates to continue more or less as usual the next two weeks.
Hebosagil's self-released debut EP was my favorite demo release last year¹ and now their proper full-length debut "Colossal" is out via Kaos Kontrol. I am not privileged enough to have heard the entire thing at this point, but judging by the first track they've released for public consumption ("Big sun"), they've decided to take their music into more of a conventional doom/stonerrock direction. It's still plenty heavy and crusty, but way less thrashy and with way less old-school death-metal flavor (think early Entombed, Autopsy). Kinda of a let-down, if you ask me. I mean, it's still good, but it takes them until the solo section to finally push things into the red and get way blitzed out. Now that's the Hebosagil I want to hear! While the track is indeed growing on me more and more with with each subsequent listen (it's been on steady rotation all week, despite my low rating), it's falling short of ideal. Give me more grinding, more feedback! More damage!]]></description>

	<title>MP3: Hebosagil - Slightly confusing</title>

	<description><![CDATA[Huge props are due to Teemu from Lupatarkastaja for turning me on to Hebosagil. And yes, they do sound like being run over by a train. Or more precisely, they sound like the fiercest crusty metal band you could imagine. Think early Entombed meets... Dystopia, perhaps? The recording is definitely reminiscent of the Sunlight Studios sound that Entombed helped make famous. Everything is raw and totally overblown, often crossing far into the red. I imagine that some of the harshness was slightly unintentional as, generally speaking, most engineers would be reluctant to let everything get so crazy distorted. Whatever the case, it don't matter a bit as it works perfectly in context for this music. A brutal recording just makes the band sound that much heavier.If you like this track be sure to download the rest of the "Cosmic" EP: http://www.hebosagil.com/I often talk about songs being taken out of context from the rest of the album, but this is definitely a case where the sum is greater than the individual parts. Very highly recommended!]]></description>
