I started Radix Tenebris to showcase albums that give you a nostalgic feeling while having a retrospective. This week’s albums continue the journey into the abyss of deep melancholic sounds. Each track serves as a haunting echo of memories long past, evoking emotions that linger in the shadows of the mind. From ethereal ambience to somber melodies, these albums immerse listeners in a realm where time seems to stand still, […]

London's Folly Group released their debut album, "Down There!", via So Young Records – a post-punk style with Gang of Four's "Not Great Men" as the ignition. Folly Group emerges from the UK experimental rock scene with their creative style of music that seamlessly blends post-punk, dub, hip-hop, electronic dance and Afro-Cuban rhythms. With open-hearted lyricism, diverse and self-produced music, this album oozes originality in the face of modern British […]
Cleveland's Knowso for sure have been among the most idiosyncratic and memorable groups of the past couple years. Their newest full length shows them at the height of their strength once again, their amalgamation of post punk, noise- and math rock still coming across just as quirky and whimsical as it is tight, rigid and angular all the same, combining a seemingly procedural and efficient, mathematical approach with an amount […]
Cambridgeshire based punks The Baby Seals have a new single out that needs to be heard. "Mild Misogynist" hits this fantastic middle ground between a more classic punk style and the more newfangled dance-friendly punk. The song grooves insanely hard and is layered in fuzz, but it's just a song that makes you want to bop around. It's a biting and aggressive song, but does so with a great mocking […]

However, the EP's biggest drawback is that it's short, consisting of just four tracks, leaving listeners hungry for more. Despite its short length, the album's catchy melodies create an atmosphere that compels fans to play it again and again. Surreal Good Fun Exciting Tape by Heather The Jerk
Ears wide open when two of Europe’s finest punk rock bands team-up for a split LP. I am talking about Accidente (Madrid, Spain) and Nightwatchers (Toulouse, France) who contribute four and six songs respectively to the new release. Both bands again prove their talent for writing high energy punk rock tunes that are agressive and melodic. They are not play-acting their anger, at the core of these bands’ music lies […]
