Burial..Something Different

Here is something different and a bit more child for your ears to soak up. Burial, an underground Dubstep, Garage, 2-Step artist who makes tunes in his room deep into the night and gets “Angry at people for..stepping into his time” he said in one interview I read that the Guardian newspaper did.

His songs are not far of creepy, they defiantly get the rating of ‘eerie’ With the hard hitting basslines and the dark sub-bass, also which makes this guys tracks even more intense are the chopped pitched bent vocal works he has ripped from old jungle and garage tunes he listened to on the way to school.

I got a friend of mine to send me the first LP

Titled Burial HDBCD001 This was releasd on Hyperdub records in May of 2006

Let me say it is so worth buying this album I now have it on CD and just ordered it on Vinyl for the added eeriness.

The second album titled Untrue HDBC002 Released on Hyberdub in November of 2007

I bought from the website www.boomkat.com and I ordered this also on vinyl for the same reason.

This album is so much more child than the first LP but don’t let this fool you, it’s still Dubstep through and through. The fact it’s more child gives it a more ‘eerie’ feel than the first LP, This album was nominated for and won the Mercury music awards.

Apparently William Bevan is in the making of a new EVEN DARKER album. Let’s hope it’s as good as the other two

Buckethead..? Uh?

Some of you may have heard of Buckethead? Some of you might not of. Well I have been so into Buckethead at the moment it was about time I did a blog on this monster of a man and the many bands he has featured in.

Buckethead & Friends (2005–present)

Science Faxtion (2007–present)

First off, I’m going to let this video explain some of it.


So...Weird guy huh? Well it’s been said that Buckethead is Autistic, whether or not this is true? Only an interviewer who will ask him will know. But what we do know is, he is amazing at guitar be it Tremolo Picking (That’s really fast) or using pedals and kill switch buttons to bring amazing chilling, fun, scary, awesome effects. Doesn’t matter...He Is A God!

Let this video tell you why...He plays just about every theme you people know and love in one live sitting.


Thanks for reading
