Within Temptation – The Aftermath [Livestream Event] (July 16th, 2021)
Within the annals of female-fronted symphonic metal, the name Within Temptation is among the oldest and most immediately recognizable, though also one of the hardest to truly pin down. Having arisen from the mid-1990s when Gothic rock-tinged melancholy with some remnants of the earlier death/doom craze was all the rage, they forged a smoother and more anthem-based approach that dovetailed…

E-An-Na – Fascinathanatango E-An-Na has long been a diamond in the rough, from their explosive high-caliber debut album “Jiana” through the nuance of 2019’s “Nesfârşite.” Though they have whet the appetite of their fans with sporadic single releases, this May the band dropped their most unique and ambitious release yet: the new instrumental EP “Fascinathanatango.” The proposition is strange on its face, and certainly enough to turn heads: “Fascinathanatango” presents an avant-garde take on modern tango music, delivered by a band best known for their metaphysical ponderings through folk metal. But if anything has defined E-An-Na’s style over the last…
