Listen to the amazing new album by Hellsongs!

hellsongs-cover

The new album from Swedish trio Hellsongs, Hymns in the Key of 666, is ten tracks of beautiful harmonies, guitars, violins, pianos…and heavy metal. Sort of. Hymns is a cover album of hard hitting classics like Black Sabbath’s Paranoid and Iron Maiden’s Run to the Hills. I consider myself a bit of a ‘covers’ fanatic. I find it fascinating when an artist can take a song, reinvent it and make it their own. Hellsongs does that and more in their freshman album – I didn’t even realize the album was covers until I heard AC/DC’s Thunderstruck on Track 7.

We think Hymns is so amazing that we’ve put the entire album in our First Spins rotator. But, don’t just take my word – listen to all ten songs from Hymns in the Key of 666 right here.

Top Picks: Symphony of Destruction (Track 2) Thunderstruck (Track 7) and Paranoid (Track 9)
Sounds like: A mix of Jenny Owens Young, The Corrs, Sarah McLachlan and Ben Folds Five
Most Impressive: Hymns in the Key of 666 rates about a 10 on the scale of ‘Awesome Album Titles.’

First Spin: Howling Bells!

The arrival of Radio Wars to our First Spins roster is, alright, coming almost five months after it’s UK release date back in March. It takes time to get across the ocean, guys! But if a good thing is worth waiting for, then boy, do we ever have a treat for you!

First Spin: Megan Hamilton

MuchMore First Spin: Megan Hamilton
Genre: Pop/Folk
Release Date: April 7, 09

I always love talking about local Canadian musicians. When you look at the roster of Canadian talent out there I think we have a lot to be proud of. So you can always be sure to check out MuchMore.ca to see new Canadian artists featured here.

I was asked last week to do a feature on Megan Hamilton. I hadn’t heard of her but I decided to give it a listen. Well she might not be everyone’s cup of tea and she is not the super upbeat pop and dance music that we have going for you every morning on MuchMore but if you like melodic folk/pop and nice relaxing music to work with, or have in the background while you rummage around your house – I suggest giving this album a listen.

This is Megan’s third album with co-producer Mark Vogelsang. The first single is ‘Cat’s Tail Leg’ but my favorite song so far is definitely the ghostly first track: Throw It Down The Drain With Your Morning Coffee Grinds”.

What do you think?

First Spins to Celebrate!

023009-bat-for-lashes

Oh, hello. We’ve got a couple reasons to be jubilant ’round these parts. One, (OBVIOUS) that we just launched this tarty new MuchMore site. Like it? Of course. Second source of dance-y joy comes from these three First Spins that will provide a soundtrack to our first week with a new look. Listen to them, enjoy them, deconstruct them, share them, listen to them again, and hey – you can’t even buy one of ‘em for another week. How’s that for a sneak peek…

Bat For Lashes – Two Suns (in stores April 7)
This UK export caught our eye with the amazing video for “What’s A Girl To Do” from her last album Fur And Gold. Since then, we’ve been loving her haunting themes, lush melodies and unique style. In Two Suns, apparently she takes on the persona “Pearl”, “a destructive, self-absorbed, blonde, femme fatale of a persona who acts as a direct foil to [BFL's] more mystical, desert-born spiritual self.” Listen now!

Great Lake Swimmers – Lost Channels (March 31)
This Canadian folk-rock band has released three full-lengths, an EP and a limited edition LP. Lost Channels, their fourth, features appearances by Serena Ryder, Bob Egan, Erin Aurich of A Northern Chorus and Paul Aucoin of Hylozoists and was named for a spot in the Thousand Islands (Ontario) where a reconnaissance boat from a British warship went missing in 1760. Listen Now!

Maria Taylor – LadyLuck (March 31)
Before going solo, Maria was a member of the duo Azure Ray as well as Now It’s Overhead. She plays every instrument known to man (more specifically: piano, guitar, drums) and has released three studio solo albums including this one. Listen Now!
