The internet is an amazing thing.
Seriously, for the occasional hassle/ eating up of my spare time, it's such a wonderful thing. How else would I find all my music?
I discovered this band awhile ago and downloaded a few songs, but since my iTunes library is always being updated, their stuff got pushed to the side a little. Until now, when a fellow music enthusiast I know posted about them and rekindled my interest in them.
Violens (pronounced vy-lenz via their twitter page) is a band from New York with quite an intersting sound. And by interesting, I mean if you don't like loud and brash sounds, then don't listen to them. Heavy guitar riffs and harsh keyboard sounds, coupled with transcendant reverb creates quite the aural battlefield. See Violent Sensation Descends and their newest single Acid Reign for some blow your ears off awesomeness.
But the song of theirs that is currently on repeat for me is off their Summer Mixtape (which is available for free on their website). Another Strike Restrained (Sadguitarius Remix) is so so so good. I have no idea what the original sounds like, but I love this remix. I love the deep bass strumming in the background that just keeps going and going paired with the reverb/synth combo that gives the song a feeling of being intimidated, yet intrigued at the same time. Love it. Listen to it. You'll be hooked too.
Plus, Sadguitarius is a nom de plume of sorts of Ben Goldwasser, and, well, he's brilliant.
