Antares - l'esprit de l'escalier

If you caught the post on the Chronicles of Adam West you might have read that the guitarist that was in that band is in another, this is that band. So some more UK tech shiz think COAW bit different think more electronics maybe less chaotic sounding bit more spacey (haha I'm struggling a bit with this description) but yeah still ridiculously technical and sweet goodness. So this madness came out back in 2009 yeah and I've lost my physical and you can't buy it any more doh! So these guys also did a split with Rolo Tomassi which I will probably put up sometime. I just saw this quote about them had to put it up.

  "make ever other tech metal band look like that first band you were in, y’know the one that played at the school battle of the bands and covered oasis, blur etc"

Not my words but ha ha yeah maybe they are pretty insanecore.. Anyway if you liked the COAW stuff then definitely check this out here.

Chronicles Of Adam West - We Walk Unbalanced

OK so this isn't new, but I was listening to this again today and I had forgoten just how good it was. So five dudes from Reading UK and if remember correctly they used to describe themselves as hardcore kids gone tech and I'd go with that. Unfortunately they didn't last long and only released this and a demo as far as I know. So heard these guys described as Dillinger Escape esc a lot.. Well I dunno maybe kinda but not really and I wouldn't really peg this as mathcore maybe just me. I'd definitely go with hardcore gone tech, blisteringly fast chaotic hardcore maybe with grindcore styled guitar leads, sounds good doesn't it? Just love the guitars on this some of them just sound twisting they sound like the music is collapsing on itself great stuff, some great musical breakdowns in there too and some nice interludes of quieter melodic parts to let you mind recover for a few seconds. This still sounds new to me even though it's getting on for five years old now. I do believe that one of the guys is still playing in the band Antares (the ones on holy roar not the gash ones!) who are also good might put something up on them sometime.. I would put up a download link for this but you can get it for like 2 quid from Holy Roar and you can check out the tunes there first too so it just seem wrong. Link here, shame the actual physical has sold out, though I do have it lucky me anyway definitely worth checking out if you haven't. I kick myself for not seeing them when they were about!!
