Golem Dance Cult – Call of the Wendigo
[Where Industrial Stoner Rock Meets Cinematic Allure]
Golem Dance Cult is back with a new musical sensation, releasing their latest album “Shamanic Faultlines”. Known for their distinctive industrial stoner rock vibe, the Franco-Australian duo takes listeners on a philosophical journey through heavy guitar riffs, groovy basslines, and dark, glam vocals. Their latest video, “Call of the Wendigo,” is a testament to their penchant for the mysterious and the cinematic.
With contributions from notable musicians, such as guitarists Dick Dens and Haydn Walker, and special vocal appearances by Inga Liljestrom, this project also leans on the darker vocal stylings of Alex Zillon. Supported by cinematic textures like cello and theremin, the album exudes atmospheric depth. Co-founder Charles Why describes the unique sound as a “fusion of occult and spiritual atmospheres, channeling energy between Jane’s Addiction and Bauhaus.”
For fans of hypnotic, avant-garde sounds, Golem Dance Cult continues to push the boundaries of genre, making “Shamanic Faultlines” a must-listen experience.
Baron’s – Doesn’t really matter
Glam Rock Anarchy: The Surreal Journey of Baron’s New Video
Baron’s latest release, “Doesn’t Really Matter,” ventures into the chaotic tapestry of modern life with a sharp glam rock edge. Crafted by the enigmatic Le Baron de Vezeline and musical prodigy Freddy Kroegher, this track embodies a bitter-sweet scream that resonates with existential disillusionment. The song’s lyrics meander through mundane absurdities—like a bland cup of hot chocolate and the loss of a beloved duckling—provoking the listener to confront the ultimate question: when life feels meaningless, what anchors us?
The accompanying video, shot and edited by Le Baron himself, is a testament to raw visual storytelling. Eschewing artificial intelligence and digital trickery, it offers a visceral, lo-fi experience featuring real humans and animals. While the chaotic visuals unfold like a surrealist painting, one can’t help but be reminded of the chaos embodied by glam rock legends.
Baron’s ability to blend profound melancholia with biting irony positions them as torchbearers of a new wave in glam rock. Brace yourselves for their upcoming album “KIND AND ROUGH,” set to dazzle in 2025.
