I\u2019m certain DEAD AISLING is trying to make exactly that point as well. The record is a concept that takes you on a ride that weaves through sludge, electronica, desert rock, goth, industrial, and I would even venture to say shoegaze. Tracks one and two pique your interest and make your head bob involuntarily, and by the time song number three, titled &#8220;Overcome the Monkey&#8221; hits the air, you will be a fan of this band. The next track &#8220;Song for a Darkened Sky&#8221; is a down shift, and I&#8217;m not so sure its the smartest follow up to the previous song, however, when the guitar joins in on top of a slow, dreary and gloomy electronic groove, I\u2019ve got goose bumps, and I am wrong. The album mellows out for a little while and stays that way until &#8220;A Broken Body&#8221; comes on and lights it up, and showcases the band\u2019s ability to set it on fire. As I listen to this song, over and over, I am reminded of The Misfits while I can hear an influence of Glenn Danzig. I can picture rows of fists in the air, pumping in unison, and I want to be there too. DEAD AISLING hails from glorious Bakersfield, CA, and their profile can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/deadaisling\">myspace.com\/deadaisling<\/a>. I would suggest downloading and taking a listen, and if it is for sale, buy it.<\/p>\n<p>TM<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/2009\/april\/25\/dead.aisling.symbols.jpg?w=900\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEAD AISLING CD review by Tim Fennell I am thinking this music would fit well within the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Mastodon, Mondo Generator, or any other desert dock stoner-metal but, as we dig deeper and follow this music further down the rabbit hole, we quickly realize that we are wrong and its not quite so easy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14,"url":"https:\/\/reviewermag.com\/press\/2009\/04\/19\/cd-review-dead-aisling\/","url_meta":{"origin":629,"position":0},"title":"CD review: DEAD AISLING","author":"admin","date":"April 19, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Dead Aislingby Megan TriheyDead Aisling\u2019s flawlessly melodic, hauntingly hypnotic self-titled debut album is an essential trip for music connoisseurs who have been begging for a virgin sound amid this year\u2019s painfully mainstream batch of bands.The album\u2019s first track introduces you to lead singer Adam Richmond\u2019s forcefully gentle voice that will\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;archive&quot;","block_context":{"text":"archive","link":"https:\/\/reviewermag.com\/press\/category\/archive\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":289,"url":"https:\/\/reviewermag.com\/press\/2007\/04\/29\/zzyzx-movie-review\/","url_meta":{"origin":629,"position":1},"title":"Zzyzx movie review","author":"admin","date":"April 29, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"Zzyzx movie review by Jaime Dunkle Lou (Kenny Johnson, The Shield), a deranged Gulf War brute, drags his whiny wingman, Ryan, through the Mojave Desert on a wild trip to Vegas.
