Crimson Rain - Catastrophe Single Review
Delicate intro, rolls into a picky soft hook. Nice vox harmonies throughout.
Wicked groovy chorus riff, coupled with the consistent bass line makes for some boot tappin’ goodness. Hints of tricky gax, I especially like the power strums at around 2 mins. Real air guitar material, that.
Really nice flow from verse to chorus, no stop start which fits this song really nicely. Love the segue back into the verse – slightly different each time, my favourite is into verse 3.
Nice crescendo at a minute from the end, wicked outro – love the fade to black picking that ties back into the intro beautifully and links through the almost subliminal picking throughout – I love it.
I get chills every time I listen, and the damned thing won’t get out of my head! Epic.
My only complaint is it could sound a little sharper all round, in saying that for some reason it works and lends a real hallmark feature to Crimson Rain’s tunes. They’re all a little bit like this so I guess it's intentional – whatever it is, they shouldn’t change it. If nothing else it gives a little something extra to the rhythm section.
Why isn’t this song on the radio? It’s far better than the other pap they force on the mindless masses.
Another fantastic offering from Crimson Rain. It’s over too soon though – and that’s the real catastrophe.

fleaBITE - Album Review: The Jungle is Jumping
21 Jan 2015 // by CEOMong
This is one kid’s CD that is unlike any other I’ve heard – The Wiggles they aren’t, unique they are, that’s for sure! My subject matter experts for this album are my wee girls Liz, 7, and Jen, 4½ - after repeated listens I asked them for their opinions on each track … with mixed results … and accompanying their comments are my thoughts.

Shihad - FVEY Album Review
20 Aug 2014 // by CEOMong
I don’t know if it’s all in my head or not, but Jaz Coleman’s influence lends a certain classic element and a brooding depth to this album that breaks away from what has become, in recent times, some would say too radio-friendly jams. There’s a satisfying depth to the album the louder it gets – when isn’t that true for Shihad though, I suppose?

Mint physical release, a damned fine example of the post-CD era! I’ll admit up-front that even after several listens I couldn’t quite gel with this album ...

18 Aug 2013 // by CEOMong
As first experiences go, this was pretty epic. I’d never seen HLAH before live, and honestly had no idea what to expect.

Short (sub 2 minute for the most part) grunty songs, strong consistent themes and imagery, all in all a very solid offering. At times predictable but also, therefore, reliable.

Sinate - To The Death Album Review
14 Mar 2012 // by CEOMong
Damn I’m impressed, this is one cool album – especially as loud as I have it right now. I consider myself lucky to have the privilege to hear something like this, and it’s from Kiwis!

The House Of Capricorn - In The Devil's Days Album Review
28 Nov 2011 // by CEOMong
At first I didn’t know what to say about the newest offering from the cloven hoofed ones, but the more I listen the more I have to say. I really like it, I’m not 100% sure why, there’s lots to like but nothing I can nail down ...
