Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Tonight I was able to talk with Herbert, the guitarist & founder of the April 21st Band. We talk about the underground metal scene in Brazil as well as  his manifold musical & guitar influences from Van Halen to Pantera. Also about the history and the specific sound of the Band of course. There is new material worked on currently and if all goes well, we might even be able to have the...

Tonight I had the pleasure to get to know Sarah King.  She has a great bluesy and mature voice.  Check out her Song "Nightstand":    https://youtu.be/miyQ5cFr2Ug  and you know what I mean.   We talk about "Murder Ballads", her former Spouse who was in the Military and what the Cover Song "War Pigs" means to her now and what for a very personal connection she has to it...

Tonight I was able to talk with the Musician, Producer & Sound Engineer Timofey Zelenski & his translator Michael.  Timofey Zelenski teaches Rachmaninoff Conservatory as a Music teacher, but in his free time creates music for his project "Timofey Zelenski".  His love for Metal music started at the tender age of 8 with a Iron Maiden Album he heard back then.  Nowadays he is i...

Tonight, Brendan, the lead vocalist of Hostile array found time for a chat with me. They just shifted their musical focus from Post Hardcore / Metalcore, to clean vocals and more melodies.  I really like their "Pop Song mixed with Metal" (my words ... ;) approach. This is what I really like to hear. They are very down to earth, easily approachable and have their head at the right place. ...

This morning I had the great pleasure to talk with Bree Mignano about her music.  So far she has released 2 Songs, which are somewhat in the "Dark Pop" realm, but are very much of their own unique kind.  She is a multi talented person, and besides her music she is doing photography, acting, modeling, hosting a Podcast and last but not least software engineering.  I like her very wel...

Tonight I was able to reach Eugene and Paul from Tangerinecat who create very interesting and hard to classify live music together.  They met in the Ukraine and share a deep passion for Carpathian Mountains traditional Folk Music and mix it with Doom Metal, Goth elements, Punk & electronic music.  This all done by using woodwinds, hurdy-gurdy, loops & samples.  I have not se...

This morning I had the pleasure to talk with the energy bundle Jessica about her music project "Doll Klaw".  We talk about what Art should be and how she went from very tame performances to very over the top ones and back to the more middle ground.  There is a Label deal on the Horizon, but even more importantly for us, the fans, a new EP is slated for February 2021.  So stay tuned...

Tonight I had the pleasure to talk with the voice of Sombria, who resides currently in Greece.  Sombria is her heart project, and even if the music might not be for everyone, it comes from her heart and soul and she stands 100% behind it.  Unfortunately the 2020 Pandemic canceled all their planned appearances in this year, to show and perform their debut album.   But hopefully 2021...

Last week I was on Vacation in Spain, thank you and shout out to Kim ( https://youtu.be/o94QlnLofgo ) for inviting me and organizing the trip.  Shout out to Martin, my radio boss at https://www.radio-dark-tunnel.net to take over my live radio show while I was away.   As I tend to get a bit more personal in my Monologues, I share with the audience, that I started a strict diet as I came b...

We talk about his musical Idol, Jean Michel Jarre and that a Daft Punk concert made him, a former Math Core Drummer, pick up electronic music as well. Besides the music he releases under the french Label La Ruche, where he was working as an Internship before, he also creates music soundtracks for video games. We talk about...

Tonight I had a lot of fun talking with three of the members of "SWMM" (Sometimes We Make Music) from Norway.  It was quite refreshing to find these funny and humorous people behind such great and somber songs like "Demon"  ( https://open.spotify.com/track/6ixEeTr0aETGlF1ShGvVYX?si=8BH-oMQnTsuT1IfM3kt88Q )   They played and play in different formations and almost have a next album r...

Tonight I was able to catch the whole band "Capulus", as they are currently recording their next EP.   As they come from different walks of life (even different continents ... ;) they draw inspiration for their sound and music from quite some different sources, but in the end are able to merge all the different ideas into one great sound and "Stadium friendly" Anthems (listen to "Apologies" h...

Today I had the great pleasure to meet Scoobert Doobert. He is a solo musician who really loves to make other people happy and swing, dance and dream to his tunes.   He is not my usual kind of conversation partner, as he is musically not very close to Gothic Rock or Industrial Metal, but funnily we are very "close" mindset wise and from a musician point of view.  He basically makes the m...

Hello you Youtube Mother Lovers!   After struggling with Instagram Live, I just put this out on YT.  I had a surprise appearance in the Live Instagram Event of  @FleischKrieg  and  @Ceraphym Music  today, which was quite fun. I also talked with David from  @Calling All Astronauts  and hope to have them on my Video Podcast Show soon.  As  @Rabbit Ja...

Tonight I was able to connect with the Band Phoenix and the SilverVoodoos. Phoenix, the lead singer and guitar player is heavily influenced by Kurt Cobain, which I think I was able to hear in her fragile but powerful vocal delivery.  She is very happy to have found her band mates as they can create their special kind of music in an environment of trust and understanding.   Stay tuned for...

Hello you Mother Lovers! After a "not so good" week I'm finally back in the Game. The latest Song my brother in Music (Simplefixty) and I finished, a Cover from the Sisters of Mercy "Temple of Love" is finally ready for launching into the world, which makes me quite excited as I love this song! I grew up with this tune, so I'm not subjective here at all!!! ;) The next big announcement is that, aft...
