A Ripple Conversation With Stephen Bishop Of Thunder Horse

When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, and Simon and Garfunkel, the first time I ever heard Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," it was a moment of musical epiphany. It was just so vicious, aggressive and mean. It changed the way I listened to music. I've had a few minor epiphany's since then, when you come across a band that just brings something new and revolutionary to your ears. You and I are close to the same age. For me personally, KISS was an epic part of my life. My first album was Love Gun! I still have that vinyl to this day! BUT; There were 2 bands that literally changed my life. I have to say the first was Jane’s Addiction and the other was Ministry. I know, I know…..Not very “doom” of me, right? I have to disagree. Jane's taught me how to make art from my thoughts in the form of music. Ministry taught me how to say what I had to say, without compromise. I love those bands and have to say that In owe my entire music

Joe D. Carpenter - Memento Mori

After 10, yes 10, brilliant EPs in two years, Joe Carpenter has finally released his first full-length, 'Memento Mori '. And I think that's a very good move on his part. By doing the EPs first, which shifted and changed paths slightly, definitely helped Joe forge and shape the direction he really wanted to take and that in turn made the time right for a full album. And what is there to say? Hell fucking yeah! On ’ Memento Mori ’ Joe has crafted a very nice blend of black metal, death metal and cinematic tones, as well as a healthy dose of himself. And the outcome is perfect. Usually when several styles are mixed, the result shoots off in too many directions without anything holding it together. Joe is on the opposite end of the scale weaving and tying it together so seamlessly. And this gives the songs such a nice, well-balanced flow. All while the music is completely crushing me. Fantastic! Out of the eleven tracks, seven stand out a touch more than the others

Dead East Garden – 1 X 1 EP

17:12.... Seventeen minutes and 12 seconds. If this were some type of challenge, you might ask yourself: "Just what could I do in seventeen minutes and twelve seconds?" ::silence:: I don't know what you could do, or maybe not do for certain, in that span of time but, I've definitely got a few ideas. First of them would be to roll a joint... no, hear me out now. I'm kind of a self unaware, undiagnosed perfectionist which in this case, manifests as doing things in an efficient manner. That's right, formulaic, step-by-step approaches to any type of life scenarios that, when translated, means gettin' shit did! Right now, I'll say 17:12 sounds awfully damn good to me because I've been spending that exact amount of time enjoying some enticing, enthralling audio. Because seventeen minutes and twelve seconds is the running time of the 4-song debut EP from Cleveland, Ohio's DEAD EAST GARDEN. The contents of the "1 X 1" EP (pronounced a
