Pondering in the Pit: 17 Essential Post-Hardcore LPs
You can create a great playlist from this selection. Although I feel there is more grunge feeling and sounds in there than hardcore per se, but still good assembly of bands and album suggestions.
Wojciech Golczewski – Reality Check
Sci-fi horror soundtrack music with retro futuristic synth themes.
Silversun Pickups – Neck Of The Woods
Red Handed Denial – Wanderer
Post-hardcore and prog rock. Music to shout with.
Ocoeur – Reversed
Ambient, piano, strings, soft noises, blue beats if any. Music for watching an asteroid impact, penetrate and destroy earth in slow motion. Music to see rain falling backwards by.
Tim Hecker – Love Streams
Experimental compositions for heartache.
Kangding Ray – Ardent
Dark techno. Yes, please.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World covers
After watching Mr. Robot’s S02E08 and heard Portia Doubleday sing Everybody Wants to Rule the World in a karaoke bar I got totally hooked on the tune and just couldn’t let it go from my head. And since the whole thing started with someone else singing the song and it was not the original Tears For Fears version, I started searching for even more renditions of this track.
This is how I came across the 2014 Spotify Landmark recording of the song with the original band just 30 years after and it’s an awesome video to watch, also the guys just totally kill it even 30 years later. This video is right here below, and then there are some more covers after it that I found interesting.
Spotify Landmark: Tears For Fears plays “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” (in 2014)
Hol Baumann – [Human]
Cyberpunk triphop sci-fi atmosphere thing.
Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas – Mariner
Heavy. Deep. Touching. And all that once again. And again. Powerful. This is nothing I have seen coming, and a beautiful surprise that is.
In a way reminds me of the latest Karyn Crisis record, and that is a good thing. Oh yes, that is a good thing. These records make me believe once again and again that metal is here to stay with me.
