SHORTCUT 2 INFINITY - Band Of The Month - October 2021 - @thebeast

Coming in with 9,207 votes, Shortcut 2 Infinity wins Band Of The Month on MDR! Rock musicians have always reveled in the image of being trouble, wild-eyed loners living in the shadows of society, mad, bad and dangerous to know. But the reality is that, more often than not, it is all really an image, a stage persona which helps promote the music. But the Swiss band Shortcut 2 Infinity sound like the real deal and that makes for a refreshing change.   “I Know” is street rock at its finest, at its edgiest, at its most raw; a blend of low-slung classic rock and roll swagger mixed in with the smell of gasoline, blood, sweat and alcohol, brooding and bruised and bloodied. It isn’t so much the song itself which is the revelation here, it’s the attitude and swagger with which they deliver it. You may have heard better crafted songs, seen defter musicians, appreciated more adventurous approaches, but you wouldn’t have heard much which is as truly in your face, as confrontational, as honest, as this.   Image stumbling into the wrong bar and getting into a fight with a denim-clad biker whilst his friends cheer and shout, beer is flung around and Harley’s are turning donuts in the street out front. This is the musical equivalent of that.

SPIRIT COFFIN PUBLISHING is proud to present JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS' highly anticipated third album, Infinite Universe Infinite Death, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS is the solo project of Brett Clarin, ex-guitarist for classic death metal band Sorrow (Roadrunner, 1991-1993). His music manifests as a unique brand of symphonic black/death metal with dark-yet-expansive orchestral layers. Sinister, oppressive, and otherworldly melodies are the focus whilst maintaining a class ear for heaviness and intensity. JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS' third full-length, Infinite Universe Infinite Death, offers more than the previous album's contemplation of the vast void of space via breathtaking symphonic black metal aplomb but also emphasizes the weight of existential dread conveyed within via an emphasis on doomed and distraught atmospheric death-turns. The mind, the body, and sanity erode in the splendour of nothingness. Focused intently upon creating unity between elements, Clarin's style remains orchestral and defined by grand melodic statement, but here we witness greater resolve in new shades of doom and dissonance. "I have been involved with the death and black metal scene since its inception," says Clarin. "Between 1987-1993, I played guitar in the death metal band Sorrow - formerly Apparition - that released two records on Roadrunner. After the Roadrunner death metal purge in the mid '90s, Sorrow called it quits. Inspired by the intros and interludes on extreme metal albums, I started JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS in the mid '90s as an all-synth solo project. After releasing just one album, Life Is a Near Death Experience, the project was put on hold for years. I went on to own a CD/record store and record label (None of the Above) during the '90s. When I resurrected JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS in 2018, 20 years had passed, but my passion for extreme music never waned. This time, guitars and vocals were added to the compositions to give new dimension to the music. The result is a sound like no other."

In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Journey Into Darkness and if you are fan of symphonic black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. - ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZine The song has a pronounced theatrical quality, which comes through not only in the feelings of dread induced by the haunted organ-like chords and the lunacy transmitted by calliope-like arpeggios but also in the call-and-response of the adamant barking growls and the extravagant screams and cries in the vocal department. The music generates a thoroughly diabolical atmosphere as it twists and turns…. - No Clean Singing Continues to blast and howl like an icy ride through hyperspace delivering anthem after anthem of symphonic black metal mixed with some death metal horror and the gloomy eeriness of darkwave music. - The Independent Voice Journey Into Darkness - Infinite Universe Infinite Death - MoshPitNation I have a colossal speech about the album, but to put it on paper is another story. - Author – Michael Litteral Clarin’s mind of the unending depths of eternal darkness (i.e., space) merges haunting passages with brutal heft. - Decibel Magazine Infinite Universe Infinite Death introduces us to an intense progression into this orchestral and violent universe that gives life to powerful riffs and howlings you need to listen to! - Acta Infernalis Infinite Universe, Infinite Death is an expansive collection of symphonic blackened death metal that is as otherworldly as it is obliquely oppressive! With Brett Clarin’s ongoing passion for all things extreme clear to hear, Infinite Universe, Infinite Death is very much an album that is as honest as it is heavy, as experimental as it is enthusiastic and as atmospheric as it is antagonistic. Subsequently, anyone for an ear for music that thinks ‘big’ and embraces the epic should find much to enjoy here. - Worship Metal Make the album experience a gripping one from start to finish, though in almost all instances the elaborate keyboard overlays and accents maintain the feeling that we are witnessing pageantry on a vast and alien scale. - NCS With this third full-length, Journey Into Darkness have painted a near-perfect aural picture of galactic ghastliness. What a journey Infinite Universe Infinite Death is! - Metal-Rules.com The frostbitten grandeur of the aforementioned Emperor is a closer match for the atmosphere laid bare here, albeit with a much clearer production and a significant helping of death metal in the primordial soup. Clarin’s clearly got a vision for the freezing, uncaring, endless void of horror that is the cosmos. Additionally, and more importantly, he has more than sufficient chops to convey it. When you redirect your attention to the riffs, there are a lot of damn good ones crammed in the tight 35 minutes of running time.  - Angry Metal Guy JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS has just released an absolute banger of a symphonic black metal album in “Infinite Universe Infinite Death”.  Brett Clarin of classic death metal band SORROW fame has created a cosmically malignant orchestral annihilation of the universe in this epic masterpiece.  I can literally feel the walls of creation closing in upon me as I’m being barraged with blast beats and stringed instruments.  The dynamic vocal style of black and death metal vocals really sets this music apart from most other symphonic black metal acts. All in all, JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS delivers a very well thought out and original addition to symphonic black metal and it would be a tragedy for a fan of such a genre to go without giving it a spin.  I promise you there are ideas and concepts within it that you WILL NOT hear anywhere else. - Metal-Temple.com
