SPOOK THE HORSES - Brighter [2011]

Spook the Horses are a heavy post-rock band from Wellington, New Zealand. The band formed as a four piece in 2009. Zach replaced Callum as drummer in 2010, and the group started arranging and finalising tracks for their first album, 'Brighter' which was released in December, 2011.

The band layers three guitars, synthesiser and samples with bass and drums to create monumental songs that are at once saturated and spacious. Desperate vocals sparsely punctuate the mostly-instrumental tracks. The album expands upon the textural sonic landscapes familiar from Spook the Horses’ live shows.

LAKESHORES - Lakeshores (EP) [2013]

We are "Lakeshores", unusual metalcore band from St. Petersburg, Russia. We are trying to combine the real lovely sound with aggressive shaky slow attack. Our songs are full of atmospheric melodies, middle-rhythm shaky breakdowns, old-stuff rock solos, agnostic lyrics and all of these are accompained with unusual extreme and really nicely-sounding female vocals. We've done a huge job, and we hope, you gonna like it, friends...

SEPTA - The lover (EP) [2013]

Septa is a four-piece alternative rock band from Odessa, Ukraine. Band was formed back in 2006, the founding members were Eugene Tymchyk and Alexander Kostuchenko. Then after long hiatus Septa surfaced again in 2010 with an addition of Alexey Sulima and Alexander Bezusov. Humbly considering themselves as ‘alternative rock’ they constantly endure their music with experiments, influenced by other genres, such as post-hardcore, noise rock and trip hop. As for now Septa is working on a five-track EP tentatively titled The Lover and on yet to be titled full-length debut album.

AS OCEANS - The Relics of Axiom [2013]

As Oceans is a metal band from Boone, North Carolina. Our music is largely conceptual of deep thought and reflection as well as peripheral sensation. Our sound is aggressive and heavy and will not let go till you have bled out of your ears. Thunderous rhythems, fast leads and roaring vocals is what we specialize in. We will warn you our music is not for the faint of heart and manifest the motivation to liberate yourself through head banging and moshing.

Really interesting work, not a usual music but with good feeling.



About the artist:
Hiya :) My name is Dathan and I write/perform music for many different reasons. One of them is it makes me happy and that's enough of a motive to experiment with it. I avoid sticking to one genre/style/rhythm as there are countless patterns and mechanisms to recycle and create, so it seems only right that my music should sound like a drunken eskimo exploring the amazon with a bamboo flute.

About the album:
Meraki:  (v.) to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work.
This album is something I've had a lot of faith behind for a long time. The genres included range from liberating melodies to grizzly riffs to spontaneous tapping to complex rhythms to cheeky bass patterns. Abundant with constantly shifting time signatures and all double-coated in a thick glaze of optimism. It's intended to invoke a lot of different emotions and be an experience for the listener. The song lengths are short as its intended for psychedelic community, and would seem much more meaningful/long whilst tripping. I have no expectations as to how it will be received and am ridiculously happy that its finally finished.
Thank you :)
