MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL reviewed ASS LIFE

I’m not sure if I fully get this L.A. band’s mix of D-beat, stoner riffs, and surreal humor, but maybe I’m not supposed to. This CD compiles three ASS LIFE tapes into a thirty-one-song endurance test. The tracks (especially the older ones) are heavy—mostly blistering D-beat assaults with occ...

The long-awaited new album from More Ephemerol is out today for purchase on vinyl in two color variants, and in digital formats.

The 10-track LP was mixed and produced with Matia Simovich at Infinite Power Studios in Los Angeles, CA and mastered by Josh Bonati, with brilliant artwork by Colin Strandberg.

Only at: EphemerolNightTerrors.bandcamp.com

The 2nd full-length album from Minneapolis prog rock trio K’mono, “MIND OUT OF MIND”, is out today only at EphemerolNightTerrors.Bandcamp.com

With even more hills & valleys, and sound dynamics than their first record, there is enough here for any music fan to have a field day with, regardless of your preferred genre. “Mind Out of Mind” is a concept album about a king getting banished from his kingdom and chasing his brain through the vast unknown landscapes as he's losing his sanity.

Reviews for the first K’mono album made colossal statements such as, “Sometimes a debut album is so incredible and transcendent that it cripples the rest of a band's career. Other times, it happens that an incredible first album announces only a glorious future for the group, the first of a long series of masterpieces. I believe that we have here one of the bands that will mark the future of progressive rock in the years to come”
We at E.N.T. believe that K’mono is fully capable of living up to this potential 🎠

Mixed & mastered by the same studio wiz who did the band’s debut album, Jake Wagner does a phenomenal job with the material. This is another timeless LP for the ages.

The devastating final single, "Secrecy", from More Ephemerol's upcoming LP is out today on Bandcamp and streaming through Post-Punk.com.

Full LP, "Apotheosis Pageant", will be out on May 22nd, and pre-orders on LIMITED BONE and standard black VINYL are up now.

In the resplendent depths of the mysterious, "Secrecy" emerges as the conclusive melodic offering from the impending More Ephemerol magnum opus - Apotheosis Pageant. Today, it graces the realms of Bandcamp, and soon, on the 5th of May, it shall permeate the ubiquitous streaming platforms.

Thanks to IDIOTEQ.com for the expansive write-up on ASS LIFE and their new self-titled album! 10 years of obnoxious hardcore punk from the L.A-based unit, more unpredictable than ever on their new self-titled album. Read the track-by-track breakdown and artist-on-artist interview.

ASS LIFE just released their third album and it's a wild and unpredictable ride through various sub-genres of punk, infused with indie and alternative influences.

The first pre-emptive album review of the upcoming K'mono LP is astonishing, and totally on point. Get stoked if you're down with the prog. Full album, Mind Out of Mind, out May 28th.

Well, this is rather odd; I feel as though I’ve walked through my wardrobe and emerged in some weird medieval fantasy. I mean I obviously know what I like, and as strange as this is, I do like it v…

More Ephemerol offer a new slice of sparkling synth pop by the name of “HYPERNUMB”, streaming everywhere as of today. It was written for their upcoming LP but didn’t make it onto the final album due to certain restrictions - it is one of two compositions under that same umbrella, which will both see independent releases as floating B-side singles instead.

“HYPERNUMB” is the project’s brightest, poppiest effort to date. It features guest vocals by Margot Rhodes (Madeline Goldstein, Mirror of Venus, etc). This is yet another song about urgency in lieu of embracing humanity as we’ve known it before tech changes it forever.

“HYPERNUMB” was mixed and mastered by Jake Wagner.

The full More Ephemerol LP “Apotheosis Pageant” will be out in May and you can now PRE-ORDER it on our Bandcamp page! 🚨
