"Some countries have been using them for a while, especially at ski slopes. People want to be able to make their homes a retreat, and people just like being around a fire." Tina Fox, a saleswoman and assistant buyer for the Rutherford County Farmer's Co-op, agreed and said, "fire pits are a neat thing for entertaining in the cooler months."This year, for the first time, the Co-op plans to carry an extensive selection of fire pits, and Fox predicts copper and stainless steel will be the must-have materials of the season.&q Read More... |

| | AlbertoStellpflug | News Item | MIAMI, FL - After a slight setback at the beginning of the week, gold was firmly back on track, Tuesday, reaching a seven-week high. Both the euro and the price of gold benefited from the news that euro zone members had agreed on a pact for tighter fiscal controls that will result in the setup of a permanent 500 billion euro rescue fund. At the same time, Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos stated that he seeks an early agreement with Greece's creditors. Greece desperately needs the next bailout to avoid default. This news was sufficient for the euro to recover and for gold prices to head firmly upward once more. Gold bullion is on track to make the biggest gain since August 2011 as January draws to a close. Investor confidence has been fully reinstated in the precious metal following a rush to liquidate in December. $1800 will likely be the next level to be tested by gold as it makes its way upward. Silver has also benefited from the market's renewed confidence, reaching just over $34 an ounce, Tuesday. & business advertising marketing finance Read More... |

| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | Sujo, like good wine, is both rare and an acquired taste. Fittingly then, their new "Terran" record is being released in limited fashion, only forty copies. These five songs are vintage Sujo, and a good place to start if the label has some left for you.Basically the band continues its majestic instrumental journey through noise, shoegaze and black metal, mixing those aural cues in a stew that is massive and gripping. Think Mono, Aun, or Burzum if you must, but this is all Sujo. From the caustic peaks of the title track, to the icy ambient "Freefall" (which includes vocals that can only be described a obscure and disjointed), Sujo is all about moods, and the more visceral the better. Of the other tracks, "Shale" is dark, slow and disturbed, and one of their best ever tracks. The closer is the noisiest, and the appropriately titled "Divination" leaves one with an echoing into the abyss, Ryan once again creating tones and atmospheres that sound eternal, if not comforting. "Terran" is one of Sujo's best, and r psytrance music releases and reviews releases Read More... |
| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | I have struggled with metal. Too often the obvious technical quality of the music is, in my opinion, ruined by the cookie monster style vocals which are used. I know that, for some, this is an essential component of the music, but it does make it inaccessible to someone who is coming to it anew to find some longhair growling incomprehensibly about demons and dragons. It was refreshing then when Jools (thanks mate) suggested I listened to Agis by Norwegian outfit Theatre of Tragedy.The songs have a degree of elegance about them which I find lacking in other examples of the genre. Credit for that must go, almost in its entirety, to Liv Kristine who provides the soprano female vocals on the album. These combine with the harsher vocals of Raymond I. Rohonyi who has apparently toned down his growling from earlier albums. Most of his vocals are almost spoken and rarely growled. Yet, my favourite track, "Venus" is the one where he returns to growling, albeit in a less over-the-top manner than one might have become psytrance music releases and reviews releases Read More... |
| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | While neglecting my reviewing duties this past week (a sabatical I find myself needing from time to time in order to put into context the hefty amounts of music I take in over a short period of time), I found myself both procrastinating about and attempting to figure out King Giant, a relatively young and up-and-coming stoner/doom rock/metal outfit from Virginia. Dismal Hollow is only their 2nd release but, right away I realized, this was a band who had a voice that commanded attention. That voice is foremost the actual voice of frontman Dave Hammerly, who often enough is a dead ringer for the likes of Glenn Danzig and whose phrasing, melody, aggression and lyrical swagger are all the elements needed to leave a mark. Oh, and the rest of the band isn't too shabby either. "Appomattox" is a very impressive beginning, feeling faster than it is while relishing in a mid-paced rhythm punctuated with bright and twisting leads, the occasional shout-along vocal stab and a crushing bit of percussion.

| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | They've been around for a number of years. Numerous placements on TV, film, commercials as well satellite radio and more. No strangers to the NHL's Dallas Stars, who commissioned the band for their power play song. But for those who's radar managed to miss the industrial metal band RivetHead, their latest full-length effort, Doomsday for Optimism is not a bad place to start. The album doesn't open as strong as I would've preferred. "Super Zero" is a solid track but doesn't have that wow factor the band is known for. "Deaf Ears", the second song, would've made a much better choice in my opinion. There are more things going on in that one to keep the listener tapped in. RH fans will notice their current sound having more of that electronic industrial leaning heard on Zero Gravity's title track from 2009. But to be clear, there isn't any abandonment of the pure metal you've enjoyed from the rest of their catalog. They're just reaching a little further this time, a little deeper, into their musica psytrance music releases and reviews releases Read More... |
| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | In the days before metal was invented, young long-haired Scandinavian males would find an outlet for their hormonal frustrations by climbing aboard wooden longships and setting sail to go and indulge in a spot of rape, pillage and plunder on some unsuspecting coastal village to the south. I suppose it was inevitable then that a music genre which appeals primarily to young males, full of pent up aggression, a genre which has been criticised for being aggressive, violent, and anti-religious, should lead its Scandinavian devotees to make that link between metal and Vikings. Ladies and Gentlemen, warriors and berserkr, I give you Hammerheart.The man behind Bathory, Quorthon, is generally regarded as being behind the so-called Viking metal genre. Now whether that is a genre in itself is open to question. Frankly, I just see Hammerheart as being a black metal concept album about Vikings, but each to his own I guess. And about Vikings this surely is, though let's be clear, we are talking the stereotypical image of V psytrance music releases and reviews releases Read More... |
| | Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews | Syndicated | Regurtitating up from the historically musical city of London, Lvcifyre have arrived with their debut offering The Calling Depths. The current 3-piece has gone through a lot to get to this point, and the scars of the path they've travelled are easily translated throughout this monster of an album. The inspirations are clear; a gritty, Immolation-esque brand of death metal that conjures up early Autopsy and even more blackened-death acts such as Behemoth, at times. It is a very familiar sound for me, very much in the vein of the limited amount of death metal I enjoy. Good for me, maybe for you! What stands out the most throughout these 8 tracks is the vocal approach of frontman T.Kaos, a wickedly low-register, snarling shout that definitely shuns the "cookie monster" approach in favor of something much more distinct. That doesn't necessarily mean more discernable, mind you. It takes a much more practiced ear than my own to get a grasp on just what's being sung.
