The Symphony of Screams – 'Heed To The Voices'

16 Sep 2008 // A review by JohnS
The Symphony of Screams, What a choice name for a band and with the eye catching graphic artwork to support the name. When I first laid my eyes on to it I immediately flashed back to my teen years listing to death/trash metal, but with a unique “Blues Metal/Rock” which at first listen did not really appeal to me but the album has grown on me. Wicked World has to be my favorite song on the album.

Their Debut album Heed to the Voices at the Red Room in Whangaparaoa. The studio was built specifically for this album, and now operates as a not-for-profit studio, for other recording artists who may not necessarily be able to afford full price, quality studio time.

The boys have worked had and it shows with the awesome riffs and dark and unique vocal tones have lead to a bloody great album.

About The Symphony of Screams

The Symphony of Screams comprise of 4 similar minded musicians, who share the same passion for music without compromise,or ego, putting the music first before all other concerns and despite being relatively unknowns from Whangaparaoa, were selected to be the main Kiwi Headlining act at Rock2WGTN

As a result of the most bizzare and twisted experiences we now find ourselves... a band, of demented, twisted individuals, now best of friends, writing music from our hearts, without any fear. We love it! and we know that if we love it, there will be other similarly minded people out there who get it too!! To all those like minded people, from here on in........welcome aboard. We hope our words and song fill your minds with feeling. The whole reason we do what we do... is for you!

We are true to ourselves, and feel priviledged to be playing together

11 May 2013 // by JohnS
School holidays for my family almost always involve a decent amount of time traveling via the car and I always use this time to introduce my boys to new music to expand their every growing playlists on their MP3 players. The latest EP from the Hurricane Kids looks as if it may be another enjoyable addition.

Nervous Doll Dancing - Eidolon - Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Nervous Doll Dancing is a new name to me, which came as a surprise. I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of kiwi musicians and I’m always a little taken back when I haven’t heard of someone who is this talented before.

Julie Lamb - Trippin' The Light Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Blues, rock and accounting aren’t something that would normally be put together but Wellingtonian signer Julie Lamb somehow pulls this off. Her second album entitled 'Trippin’ In The Light' displays a range of talent, which is rarely found on the shelfs nowadays.

Known Associates: Penny Love
05 Jul 2011 // by JohnS
It’s hard not to pick an album and solo judge the music inside by its cover. It’s the whole basis of trying something new, Do you like the look of them, are they wearing the latest fashions or even the classic do I know that guy?
