DGR Featured Musician - Mount Analogue

Good day to you all. Once more, it is time to feature an outstanding musician. This Feature goes to Mount Analogue. A musician from Glasgow in the UK.

To listen to Mount Analogue is know the ebb and flow of emotion. I have rapidly grown to appreciate and love the myriad influences in Mount Analogue's work. His devotion to the intricate journey of sound is awe inspiring. His music is a soundscape to unsettle, intrigue, quench and provoke thought. The surreal quality to his music is luring in many aspects and the unsettling aura to it will leave you feeling both entertained as well as intrigued.

If there was a chance to listen to music that inspires, moves, washes you ashore, lets you drown, gives you more questions than answers and lets your heart purge infinitely, this is it :) There is always an interesting, emotive moment. Always a chance to address the soul's wandering thoughts and distance yourself from this so called reality. Mount Analogue has many projects on the go and is always releasing top quality music to relish and change the perception. His music challenges boundaries put in place to control us all.

Mount Analogue also owns and operates Give It Water Records. He has a diverse taste in music and film and likes many genres, including Jim O'Rourke, Tortoise, Steve Reich, Cocteau Twins, Angelo Badalamenti, Ulver, Cornelius Cardew, Stanley Kubrick, Philip Glass, Ben Frost, Brian Eno, Stars Of The Lid, Matmos, Andrei Tarkovsky, Labradford, John Cage, Stereolab, Einstürzende Neubauten, Autechre, Fennesz, David Lynch, Arvo Part and Gaspar Noé.
 
All in all, Mount Analogue's music is layered with perfection. A dream within dream. A chillout to distorted landscapes. A whirlpool of emotion that hits hard and leaves you dazed.

So without another sentence folks, hit the links below and give this awesome artist some credit where it is due. I bring to you, Mount Analogue.

Peace all, Poppy.

DGR Brings you RavenHeart

Today DGR brings you RavenHeart.

Ravenheart are a UK based hard rock and metal band who fuse together darkness, gothic elements and rock metal. Their music has immense passion and the guitar work is fantastically powerful, top notch for those who like a good guitar wail amidst the song. The vocals are raw and passionate and there is almost a punk type feel to some of their songs. It seems diversity is abundant within their music.

In particular, "Geared for War" has a primal energy to it. It reminds me of a metal version of New Model Army in a way. The vibe from this song is reeling and engaging, full throttle!

Another track of theirs that lures and demands attention is "One Eyed God". Brilliant lead up to what becomes a hard journey into rock/metal, divinely enriched with a sensual essence.

"Big Bad Wolf" is an intriguing song. It reaches crescendo in a matter of seconds and allows you to divulge in the wickedly dark side your soul is always fascinated by.

For those who like it hard and raw, RavenHeart offers those elements and much more.

They state their influences as - "Iron maiden, aerosmith, manowar, rhapsody, WASP, Whitesnake, early Motley Crue, Black Sabbath, Dio, Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, Racer X, Randy Rhoads and lots of other cool "heavy" metal bands."

Hard to argue with that! I can hear many such influences in their music.

So folks ~ go treat yourself to a bit of hard darkness and primal power by clicking the links below and enjoy the experience. RavenHeart offer what original rock and metal have maintained all these years...a powerful and energetic fusion of guitar mayhem and deep vocals, you will love them!
