Song of the Week - The Fool On The Hill Covered By Basement Alchemy

Hey guys how was your week? But less with the pointless interactions, anyway the song of the week today is a really cool cover of 'Fool On The Hill' by a YouTube artist called BasementAlchemy who's stuff is absolutely awesome so go and check it out. To be honest I didn't really like the original song due to its monotonous sound. However that is certainly not the case with this particular cover with beautiful transitions between melodic brightness and gloom. I particularly loved when the drums kicked in and the song began to build such tension and intensity. Anyway hoped you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!

Song of The Week - RAZORS.OUT

As mentioned previously, this will be my first proper review in at least 2 years so please go easy on me. Alright, this week's song is a really cool nu-metal type song with is very reminiscent of Linkin Park(especially the Meteora era), this song was actually on the soundtrack of the brutal cop movie The Raid: Redemption which though wasn't my favorite movie of all time did have this really cool song in it. I personally love the programming of the song which start off with a siren type synth which then explodes with a really myriad of audio textures and pallets. The key thing about this song for me was how Chino Moreno's voice blended with the sound-scape in a really awesome droning manner. Overall this is a really cool, solid and very textural piece of music with huge chunks of very nu-metal inspired themes and is really worth a listen. Anyway I hope you enjoyed my review and mostly importantly the song! Please feedback! And remember if there are any songs you would like me to review please leave a comment below!
