The name stems from the Latin word meaning darkness, or the setting of the sun (a name of one of the Zaryathus songs).<br /><br />The finished/produced songs for the Occasus album 'The Obliteration of Planet 13' are currently being used as a demo album for submission to several record labels. Occasus desire to strike a record deal with an international or NZ based company in order to further promote its music and eventually enter the world of film and television, producing music for movies, tv shows and advertisements.<br /></div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-39675208807118313252010-06-06T22:36:00.005+12:002010-06-06T23:14:24.071+12:00Zaryathus - Prophecy [EP] [2010]<div style="text-align: justify;">Zaryathus - Prophecy [EP] has just been released.

Its been a slow time lately for the AMG music with all its main members frantically completing various work and study related assignments.<br /><br />However, there a few updates that I can type up for everyone. But first I'll throw down the names of four more bands that are worth checking out.<br /><br />The 4 Bands of the Month are:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 1. Arc of Ascent</span><br />---<span style="font-style: italic;">a New Zealand stoner doom band that is basically brilliant</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 2. Quantum Heresy</span><br />---<span style="font-style: italic;">another recent djent band that follows the trends that are becoming pretty damn popular</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Behindert</span><br />---<span style="font-style: italic;">a solo project that is somewhere between the sound and styles of Keith Merrow and Chimp Spanner</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 4. Maigra</span><br />---<span style="font-style: italic;">a band that incorporates djent into groove, similar vocals to Devil Driver</span><br /><br /><br /><br />Alright, now for the news. Two of the AMG bands have created their own MSN accounts and emails so that you can get in contact with them directly. Perhaps ask them to support at a gig or what have you.<br /><br />Deconstructed Surface:<br />------- deconstructed-surface@msn.com<br /><br />The Blue Devil:<br />------- the-blue-devil@msn.com</div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-64328107263543004762010-05-01T13:55:00.004+12:002010-05-01T18:52:34.552+12:00As Paris Hilton would Say "Like, O. M. G."<div style="text-align: justify;">Yea, its coming dreadfully close to a month since my last little post. Since then the bands of the asylum music group have done practically nothing but drink, smoke and die at the amount of university assignments due.<br /><br />Thankfully one of these assignments involves a couple of the bands (The Blue Devil & Deconstructed Surface) having proper band photos taken, so some good comes out of it.<br /><br />Other than that I recording of a live performance by Deconstructed Surface has turned up, and once I get ahold of it, I will upload it to mediafire and multiupload so you can download it for free. However, this is an unofficial recording. Whoever recorded it was in the bar at the time of the gig, so chances are it was done using a cellphone or dictaphone.<br /><br />Ok so I need to catch up on the bands of the week posts. Screw introductions and descriptions; by now you should know that if I upload them as a band of the week, then they are bloodly good. And you should all go download them with out hesitation. Buy it, but yea, a few offer free downloads. Legend!<br /><br />So heres 5 bands of the week to make up numbers, plus a bonus. :)<br /><br />1. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vorticerocks"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vortice</span> </a>(djent, groove)<br />2. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/inquestofficial"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In-Quest</span></a> (death, groove)<br />3. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/liquorworks"><span style="font-weight: bold;">LiquorWorks</span></a> (djent, progressive, atmospheric) <span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://liquorworks.wippiespace.com/kotisivut/News.html">official website</a></span><br />4. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/periphery"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Periphery</span></a> (djent, progressive, metalcore)<br />5. <a href="http://www.nme.com/artists/proton-kinoun"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Proton Kinoun</span></a> (atmospheric)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A note about Periphery...</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> The vocals absolute suck. If you can find, download (or buy) the deluxe edition. It has a 2nd cd with the instrumental versions of each song. Blew my mind. Brilliant. Just a shame they had to throw in this emo pussy shit vocals that djent bands seem to be doing.</span><br /></div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-9225642087542102252010-04-05T22:47:00.006+12:002010-04-06T18:51:35.512+12:00The Asylum Music Group News & Updates<div align="justify">There are a few things that need to be said and done for this post so I am just going to get straight to the point:</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The songs Through Hell and The Darkened Dawn, currently by The Blue Devil will no longer be their songs. Instead, the writters of those two songs (Chris and Matt) have decided that they are more suited for their latest project Deconstructed Surface, a mixture of death, djent and progressive music. The Blue Devil will focus on the southern rock, stoner and sludge songs it has been writting, drawing influences mainly from Deftones, Spiritual Beggars, Down and Black Sabbath.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">The three members of The Blue Devil (Matt: guitar/bass/vocals, Chris: guitar/vocals, and Dave: drums) may soon be joined by a fourth member, Andy Shone (Scientist, <em>ex</em> - Gate 13, <em>ex</em> -Nullifier), who will take the role of permanent frontman/vocalist depending on how he gels with the band. The first trial run is set for this upcoming Saturday. New posts will be put up as this progresses.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Lastly, the upcoming new feature to this blog: Redjent, will be launched during this week, with the first two riffs being finalised and prepared for recording. The first two riffs are the main riffs from the legendary Enter Sandman by Metallica and unmistakeable masterpiece Walk by Pantera <em><span style="font-size:78%;">(R.I.P Dimebag)</span></em>.</div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-63990883184536986522010-04-05T22:37:00.003+12:002010-04-05T22:46:37.313+12:00Band of The Week<div align="justify">God, I'm suppose to do another one of these things.

You can however download their albums from good old futuristic metal or as I've just found out, the links are on their myspace page. Anyway they are a Russian band that play a mix of death & djent with some wicked samples in the mix. I'd definately recommend them to any metal fan, especially if you like Meshuggah, Fear Factory and/or Cannibal Corpse.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">The band of the week is...</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><strong>HI-TECH</strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445828106161081602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrK6tB_bQc0n9rHbmRvda5hRTc8fbP0DZN0whyFXQFinY18Bw-SRVS68GNpbv405PN3BxYSAmG17ZgYlbzAKo_Ju6UDSGjJ7R-3ppynbRKBxHhgtxXLbRDCkIdq_rv7u0DIqzPn-eJuPDH/s400/1343Re-Nova1%5B1%5D.jpg" /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445828618315036274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjPpFo0zA8fM8kFc3bfeeGJUwmgu102b4xO7j0e9mfXKFt21voFV4xg_YKSDopDO-19VruLOMr_tiftAGhgzC3JsrYX3vczKqAb0pxTkKyNaRvWk3OmZGyakR2GPfkep69dJyQqW55iiAl/s400/eafe39229139997aec249a030ede%5B1%5D.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445828446712655714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi751_mOk1X7RRmTx6Go6PdKXHG5znl2DoTaQFc6CaaLeoSNE_fBTIjSINr_6YQl_z-Hy1BZTDIL2BS4-jt7ABAOr8-cx-6T86m4YKEZt16-jOIc8jPTEV6GutO8Rzzje675ilHAkqqnt6h/s400/9952f844df20a9e7d9f63c20b4b0%5B1%5D.jpg" /><br />Visit them at:<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/hitechmetal">Myspace</a><br /></p>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-3672286763635234622010-03-02T14:52:00.003+13:002010-03-02T15:01:23.553+13:00Band of The Week<div style="text-align: justify;">Ok, its back into work for us, so the practices are going a little slow. But hopefully there will be a release soon. Anway, this band of the week is another djent style band. One of the best really. Great tone and perfect execution. You able to download their debut album from their website so that pretty sweet. As usual all the links are below.<br /><br />The Band of the Week is...<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Uneven Structure</span></span><br /><br /><img style="width: 397px; height: 397px;" alt="http://mediapix.ru/pics/43a88bf2297ed12bc4bc783aa48291f1.png" src="http://mediapix.ru/pics/43a88bf2297ed12bc4bc783aa48291f1.png" /><br /><br />Visit them at:<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/unevenstructure">Myspace</a><br /><a href="http://unevenstructure.net/">Official Website</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Uneven-Structure/233641050469">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://got-djent.com/review/uneven-structure-8-ep">Got Djent</a><br /><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Uneven+Structure">Last.fm</a><br /></div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-15830673581031749262010-02-20T12:24:00.003+13:002010-02-20T12:42:31.295+13:00Band of The Week<div style="text-align: justify;">Well seen as I've already decided what the band of the week this week is going to be, I thought I might as well do it now. It's not like I've actually done the majority of them on the 'proper' day anyway. Oh yea, by the way thats Sunday. Ha, think theres ones on Friday, Monday, Tuesday, probably even a Wednesday in there too.<br /><br />So the band of the week this week is another instrumental, one man band. Surprisingly unsigned - so if any of you record label types are reading, make him a bloody offer (email below). You'd be a fool not to. Coming from Columbus, Ohio he has four releases to the name, all of which are offered for free download. How freaking sweet is that.<br /><br />In the style of some good old progressive djent music, this band is similar to Chimp Spanner, Tesseract, Keith Merrow and Vildhjarta. So just from that list you know its gotta be good - I mean 3 out of 4 of those have been the band of the week in the past.<br /><br />Anway without further wasting your time, the band of the week is....<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cloudkicker</span><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/4529/cover_153222452009.jpg" src="http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/4529/cover_153222452009.jpg" /><br /><br /><a id="ctl00_cpMain_ctl01_UserBasicInformation1_hlDefaultImage" rel="myspace:photo" href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=128930989"><img src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/144/m_b0008097e1d34cec968c2f1c7ec74a55.jpg" style="border-width: 0px;" /></a><br /><br />Visit him at:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cloudkicker/73914736084">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/cloudkicker">Myspace</a><br /><a href="http://cloudkicker.uk.googlepages.com/">Google Pages</a><br /><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/CLOUDKICKER">Last.fm</a><br /><a href="http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4529">Prog Archives</a><br /><br />Email: <a href="mailto:%20cloudkicker.uk@gmail.com">cloudkicker.uk@gmail.com</a><br /></div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-20155094802341854602010-02-18T21:55:00.004+13:002010-02-18T22:06:25.037+13:00The M.E.

Guitarist/Bassist/Vocalist Matt Edwards is looking at re-forming what they call The Hells Band. The Hells Band is the unofficial name of a group of former Hells Pizza employees that started jamming when they all worked together. However they soon drifted apart after the store closed down.<br /><br />Today Matt and drummer/guitarist/bassist /harpist Callum got together for a jam. The result was some epic acoustic - electric blues. They are contemplating re-forming The Hells Band with another guitarist (also an ex Hells employee).<br /><br />The Hells Band looks to be a promising prospect, and gives Matt an outlet for his blues influenced guitar playing and vocal style that doesnt have much of a place in The Blue Devil or the Untitled Project.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">-----<br /></div><br />In related news Matt Edwards is currently writting two more songs for The M.E. Project. The first song being a similar style to the band Earth and the second song being a much more rocky one, in the style of Godsmack, Rob Zombie and Soil.<br /></div>The Asylum Music Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03252246083894047244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784923533757808100.post-39809185937004545202010-02-17T12:22:00.002+13:002010-02-17T12:26:17.995+13:00Update<div style="text-align: justify;">The first official practice for the new band by Chris and Matt is this Saturday, hopefully by the end of it they will have decided upon a name for the band as well as written the drums for Matts new djent song.<br /><br />Also they plan on rewritting The Blue Devil song The Darkened Dawn, putting more progressive drums to it and altering the guitar parts slightly.
