Hematovore Tha Dirty Souf's instru-metal guitarmy! Hailing from the deepest, darkest jungles of the Bama Bible Belt, this 3-guitar slinging quintet breathes a vibrant breath of fresh air through the realm of instrumental metal, bridging the gaps between numerous subgenres while rocking the collective panty to the collective ankle. Leaving no musical stone unturned, their imaginative arrangements are densely packed with ideas...an encyclopedia of riffs ranging from the intricately complex to the irresistibly anthemic. Startlingly catchy but never coming off soft, Hematovore turns even the most jaded music fans' heads--Metalheads, hardcore purists, gutter punks, and indie rockers alike--Hematovore invites them all to the table, pats them on the back...and destroys them.

Jaggery jaggery is a brooklyn-based musical collective whose songs and sounds left jack rabid of big takeover magazine searching for words: "not really jazz, not pop, not ethereal rock. . . this is not like anything else youve heard. . ." was his reaction to the groups self-released "in lethe" ep (2004), a collection of five genre-defying compositions that alluded to the bands potential as a force in the new york city underground and alternative music scenes. boston-via-london transplant and songstress mali sastri fronts ~ it is her dexterous vocals (one of the most beautiful voices in modern music, says oedipus, formerly of wbcn and infinity broadcasting) instinctive piano playing, and innovative, absorbing songwriting that lie at the heart of the jaggery sound. as likely to bring to mind elizabeth fraser of the cocteau twins as diamanda galas, mali's ability to bridge the delicate with the fierce is both a signature of her voice and of jaggery's repertoire ~ from haunting lullabies to furious, mixed-meter rants; tightly-woven, classicaly-tinged compositions in odd-time signatures to catharsis-inducing, barn-burning mini-epics (often-times within the same song). she is flanked by a rotating lineup of musicians and instrumentation that create an exotic musical mobile and a kind of avant-garde acoustic electronica around what are often highly personal song tales. the sound is rich, organic, engrossing, emotional ~ both delicate and fierce, enchanting and disturbing, dark and triumphant ~ definitely not easy listening ~
