The New Zaryathus Project
The dark ambient, atmospheric classical music that Zaryathus has been producing for the album "The Obliteration of Planet 13" has a name.
The project is called Occasus. The name stems from the Latin word meaning darkness, or the setting of the sun (a name of one of the Zaryathus songs).
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.

Another Month Goes By
Once again another month goes by without any posts by the AMG. Its been a slow time lately for the AMG music with all its main members frantically completing various work and study related assignments.
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.
The 4 Bands of the Month are:
1. Arc of Ascent
---a New Zealand stoner doom band that is basically brilliant
2. Quantum Heresy
---another recent djent band that follows the trends that are becoming pretty damn popular
3. Behindert
---a solo project that is somewhere between the sound and styles of Keith Merrow and Chimp Spanner
4. Maigra
---a band that incorporates djent into groove, similar vocals to Devil Driver
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.

As Paris Hilton would Say "Like, O. M. G."
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.
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.
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.
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!
So heres 5 bands of the week to make up numbers, plus a bonus. :)
1. Vortice (djent, groove)
2. In-Quest (death, groove)
3. LiquorWorks (djent, progressive, atmospheric) official website
4. Periphery (djent, progressive, metalcore)
5. Proton Kinoun (atmospheric)
A note about Periphery...
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.

The Asylum Music Group News & Updates
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:
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.
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, ex - Gate 13, ex -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.
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 (R.I.P Dimebag).
Band of The Week
God, I'm suppose to do another one of these things. Well I said I would. Anyway, this band has two albums to date, I personally like the earlier album, but the second one is rated best.
They combine deathcore and groove with the intoxication that is djent. What more do I really need to say. If you've read at least one or two other Band of The Week posts you know that these bands are much better than what they are given credit for.

Finally a Band Name
Finally the new AMG band has chosen a name. The progressive djent style band formed by guitartists Christian Geese & Matt Edwards have finally chosen the name for their band with Robert Mc-Cambridge as the drummer.
The bands name is: Deconstructed Surface
Band of The Week
Another djent band this week :). And I've also got some good news, I can finally put an non-band of the week post up today. YAY. Anyway I'll get to that in a bit.
This band is definately worth checking out if you're into Keith Merrow, Meshuggah, Uneven Structure etc etc. I dont really know what to say about him to be honest: instrumental (well except for one song), fucking brilliant (especially seen as hes, what, 16 years old?).
You've got to check it out. The album is free. Great stuff!

Band of The Week
Well it seems that the 3rd post in a row will be the band of the week post. This is why University sucks. Cant get your music done. Although this Saturday coming up the new band on the Asylum blog should have a recording to be posted up. Hopefully.
Anyway this band of the week is a rather rare band. Extremely hard to find any information on. 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.

Band of The Week
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.
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.
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.
Anway without further wasting your time, the band of the week is....

Potential New Band for The AMG
A potential new band may form and becoming part of the Asylum Music Group. 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.
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).
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.
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.
