Perturbator – Lustful Sacraments
Label: Blood Music
Genre: Synthwave, Post-Punk
(Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp)
Joe recommends: Peturbator’s new sound once again affirms his place as the top artist when it comes to synthwave. The blend of guitars, synths and haunting vocals make this another strong outing from the French artist.
Twelve Foot Ninja – Long Way Home (Single)
Label: Volkanik
Genre: Progressive Metal
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: The ever-weird Aussie prog metal group return after a lengthy hiatus with a bang. Fun, djenty riffs; a nice mix of their kooky melodicism and hyper-aggression; and a surprisingly fitting brass section across the track all make for a wonderful (and welcome) returning tune for Twelve Foot Ninja.
