I look forward to their first full-length. Even their less compelling moments, such as the mostly instrumental meander "I Feel Great", help fortify the group's sonic world. Though credited as a quartet here, they've since pared back to a trio, which hardly seems like something that will stop them, because they still have the centerpiece of the band in that voice. On just their second EP (at seven songs and half an hour, you could call it a mini-album), this band sounds very ready to have a great run. "Mass" is just a heavenly, high-powered rock song, with a beautiful melody and huge, twanging guitar part. "Shaker" shifts on a dime into a texture dominated by acoustic guitar, then just as quickly shifts back to thick-toned electric riffage. A major-key guitar riff rises suddenly out of the minor-key murk of "#2", which begins as a foreboding descent into darkness with a snaking organ part and panicked vocals that recall a less preacherly version of 16 Horsepower's David Eugene Edwards. They're good at building contrasting sections into their songs, with rough lead guitar parts that balance the smooth effortlessness of the vocals. That song has one of the band's most interesting arrangements, with swells of organ that rise up through the guitars and a drum part based more on full-kit patterns than a simple beat. Though Tanton could probably sing a recipe for chocolate éclairs and still make it sound good, Tulsa still delivers a consistent if somewhat vague lyrical view, featuring couplets like, "Your mind is a newborn child/ Disappointment drives it wild," from "Rafter". His voice, as much as the songwriting, makes these songs memorable and gives them an ageless quality. Lead singer Carter Tanton has a spectacular voice, and he uses it to the fullest, with long, plunging held notes, wordless accents, and a self-harmonizing technique that lends weightlessness to some of his best melodic phrases. Below the surface, though, they're quite different, and Tulsa has developed a strong and intriguing sonic character for its songs. Drown in the flames and press play below.The quickest, easiest comparison for Tulsa is My Morning Jacket- loud guitars, lots of reverb, and soaring vocals all make them superficially similar.
Submerge band full#
a full house at the Crown and Sceptre Hotel, Adelaide. Hadean Tides is the type of album that feels like stepping into a parallel dimension where oceans are full of fire. 2014, Submerge have gained a reputation as an exciting and energetic live band. This track is a fantastic glimpse into the album’s power. In their hands, Giorgio Trombino’s growl sounds like a cosmic force. Orlando Solis also known as Submerge is an American electronic music producer and DJ from Chicago, and son of successful musician Jose Luis Napoleon Solis. The brilliant mixing from Manueke Marani and mastering from Xavier Berthiaume help achieve that balance. Like the amazing cover painting from Mariya Popyk, Hadean Tides is comprised of shadows and lava-hot bursts of ferocity. When they hit a sprint with blastbeats they’re just as devastating as when they’re chewing on a thick riff. But Assumption aren’t just a slug-it-out, slow ‘n’ low death metal band clinging to doomy tempos. At 3:23, Assumption rumbles into a new groove before guitar solos light up the track like lethal solar flares. The song slithers through shimmering passages before diving into a murky lurch. When Claudio Troise’s bass rumbles into the mix it’s a harbinger of heaviness to come. “Submerged by Hadean Tides” begins with an ominous hush of synths and cymbals. Thanks to those labels, Decibel Magazine is eager to share the album’s first single “Submerged by Hadean Tides.” Assumption will alter our DNA when they release the full album on May 20th. Influences came from Iron Maiden to Converge. The album will be released by Everlasting Spew, with Sentient Ruin handling the vinyl distro in the United States. S U B M E R G E started in 1998 as a 5 people band, and from the beginning Submerge played DIY shows. Now we find ourselves at the haunted shores of the band’s upcoming masterpiece Hadean Tides. With heady themes and a sinister psychedelic flare, Absconditus (2018) further delivered on that promise.

Instead of dragging the genre deeper into the sewers, the band ascended to outer space on their The Three Appearances EP (2014).

1) Brooklyn-based electronic music producer 2) One-man death metal band from Imperial, PA 3) Now-defunkt rock group from Oulu, Finland 1) Brooklyn, NY-based drum & bass producer Kurt Gluck, founder of the Ohm Resistance label and co-founder of the Obliterati label.


In a genre replete with plodding clones, Assumption embody creativity and compositional strength. There is more than one artist with this name. Formed in 2011, Italian death/doom project Assumption is a cosmic curiosity.
