Shadow Smile signed in blood

Check out the video for signed in blood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECky73yPjVM
This is a track I have been meaning to talk about for a while, Signed in Blood has the feel of Black Veil Brides (Musically) meets the vocals of Buck cherry, a track to nod your head and stomp your feet and scream that catchy hooky chorus I really like this again another band I want to see more from, crank this one up loving the energy

Episode 119 reviews, Divided By Design
For the Fallen Dreams Shell Beach and more

Kicking off the show this week is Divided By Design and the return of a new album titled The fear of being forgotten due for release on 10th February 2023
It’s always nice to have an artist or band come back to me and ask if I will listen to the new project they have been working on.

The fear of being forgotten is another instrumental album from Divided By design and to be honest I kind of always seem to struggle with these albums, what I will say is the latest offering from Divided By Design is nothing short of magical some lovely soundscapes of music are presented to the listener and offer the idea of going on a concept about the beginning of life, this journey is achieved by due by offering some brutal riffs and mind-blowing guitar solos. Overall, The fear of being is forgotten and is nothing short of amazing with these wonderful riffs and stunning sounds.
Go and check out Divided by design this one is a huge thumbs of from Setting The Tone what a mind-blowing epic journey of sound.

EP 118 Ville Valo Neon Noir review

EP 118 Ville Valo Neon Noir review     Setting The Tone is proud to offer its thoughts on the upcoming debut solo album from Ville Valo Neon Noir out Friday 13th January 2023. Click the below link to choose your listening platform for episode 118     I will start with the following quote "Neon Noir is a sonic step-by-step guide on how to survive, and perhaps even enjoy, the realm of VV with its abundance of things that go bump in the night,” says Valo. “It’s a teary mascara marathon between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a dash of hope.”

 

I can safely safe if you’re a fan of HIM this record will not disappointment as their classics sounds and themes from Ville Valo, from cleverly worded lyrics such as the lyric is the forever lost (. moon dial up sun dial down) to soaring melodic chorus that will have you humming alone.

 

all of this is pieced together in these huge beautiful mesmerizing soundscapes vertigo eyes is the perfect example of this.

 

In closing HIM may have been gone for the past five years, but, it’s so good to have Ville Valo still humming and strumming on his guitar.

 There is still such love for Ville Valo, the key with Neon Noir is it’s not a HIM album it’s a Ville Valo album

Tracks to make your hairs stand up on the back of your neck

Echolocate Your Love, The Foreverlost, Neon Noir, Vertigo Eyes

 

Neon Noir is the perfect offering of mesmerizing soundscapes 9/10

EP 115 Forgotten Sons, Waterlines, and ville valo and that first Download festival; 2023 announcement

Brand new Episode 115 we have reviews for Forgotten Sons, Waterlines, and ville valo and that first Download festival; 2023 announcement  

 

Kicking off the show are Forgotten sons and their single Flipside.

 

Flipside has elements of pop punk/ rock it’s a track you can really enjoy and the theme of the song is great, I think the ingredients are there for this track but I would have like to have seen the track a little tighter, a bit more power/temp behind it and them vocals just a little tighter, as I say it’s a good track and the right things are there so I don’t want to see like I am slamming the song let me know your thoughts.

Closing out the show is Ville Valo and his brand new single The forever lost taken from his debut solo album Neon Noir out January 13^th 2023

 

This initially pulls you in with that little dance on the keyboard and then some really punchy driven guitars all met with the first 50 seconds of that voice we all know and love.

 

The Forever lost has it all changes in tempo, soaring vocals and hooks a real punch to this I love the production especially in the chorus with the vocals, and I cannot wait for the album wake me up when its January 2023

Blood sweat Tears kicks off the show this week and with soaring chorus with hooks and a song that has more u turns than British political party, where Blood sweet tears, where this catches my attention is the effortless switches between guitars and keys and being able to change the tempo with so little effort an amazing track oh, we have not even talked about that killer guitar solo

IInTechnicolourTurn it loose are up next week

What I love about Turn it loose is the melancholy of the song, it happily chugs away offering the listener killer vocal hooks and guitars with a real drive some lovely tones that will just leave you jaw on the floor

Following them we have Temples on MarsWith their brand-new single Day Dreamer

Check out the video for Day Dreamer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeGN86spLMI

Sutter is taken from the bands upcoming album Call This A Reality (out 27/1/2023) their follow up to Casino

Stutter a track about dealing with social pressures and anxiety, is a track that accomplices the theme with plenty of grove and foot tapping moments, a great introduction to what is to come on the 27/1/2023 with Call This A Reality
