So it's official that the Singapore Dark Alternative Movement (SDAM) didn't only change their logo but went for a complete virtual overhaul and redid a new website for their upcoming events and articles regarding the dark alternative/goth scene in Singapore.
If you're unfamiliar with what SDAM does and what they are, I will give a small synopsis of what they do. SDAM ,basically, is a community of people with an interest in dark arts, music and literature. They will organise events that welcome people with similar interests to come together and hang out at several pubs and clubs while basking in the glitches and thumps of Industrial/EBM throughout the night. For more on what they specialise in and what they did for the dark alternative scene in the past, click on their swanky new logo.
And the another update to top up the whole week of new sites is the new Metal Horde Singapore website. Metal Horde Singapore (MHS), as many of you would've already derived from the name, these group of individuals handles the Singapore Metal Scene (as well as international Metal) news and music reviews. Click on the image to get your dosage of sweet, melodic brutality.
Upon further investigation, I've found out that the current main man of SDAM is also helping out with Metal Horde Singapore on top of his involvement in SDAM. So if you're interested in finding out more about him and all the other projects that he might have dipped his finger in, visit his personal website at http://dalsixvisser.com.
The RSS feeds of the aforementioned websites have been added to the right sidebar named "Links", so you can just click on that tab and you can view what has been recently updated on those sites.
So that's about it for now, check back for more reviews and news and long periods of nothing in between reviews and I would like to apologise for the awkward colour scheme and background to the site, I'll get to it soon.

Experimental rock band, In Each Hand A Cutlass will be performing on the 24th of June, 2011 at Esplanade Recital Studio. For more details, click here.
I'm not too sure if this is an album release or just a gig to remind people how awesome they are, but irregardless of the reason, you have to be there if you're a fan of experimental and ambient music that covers a broad range of genres. So be there to get your dosage of quality music.
I apologise for the lack of words for this gig, but I really have not much to mention other than to be there and experience the awesomeness yourself. However one thing I do wonder is, where's the bassist?
As fans of A Perfect Circle already know, the band is back and performing at big festivals (Rock On The Range, Lollapalooza) this year. But the main question has always been "Will there ever be a new APC album?". That answer has finally been given (kinda) by mastermind/guitarist of APC, Howerdel in an interview with Gotham Radio.
With the recent announcements of tour dates, A Perfect Circle is pretty much back from the dead (albeit the small shows that were performed back in 2010). So it came as a nice surprise to see that Gibson went to conduct an interview with one of the main songwriters and founding members of this supergroup.
In the interview, he covers on the process of getting his signature sound from the records back on stage, how ASHES dIVIDE changed his method of approach to playing and composing his music and his favourite guitars for studio recording as well as what he brings on the road along with him. He also discusses about this new song that he's composing currently. Any APC news is good news to me!
Been awhile since we've heard from these Grunge giants, the last time was during their small tour in 2010 where they actually played the creepily awesome Beyond The Wheel without Chris sounding like he's being grated like cheese. Video can be seen below and courtesy of Soundgarden off of their youtube channel.
They posted the following update on their official website:
"Over the past few months, we've been busy jamming, writing and hanging out together — exploring the creative aspect of being SOUNDGARDEN. It feels great. We have some cool new songs that we are going to record very soon.
"Thank you for all of the support!
Loudest of Love,
Ben, Chris , Kim and Matt"
Just seeing Kim's name included in that statement is already making me anticipate this album very badly. Here's hoping that the album will be released sooner than later cause they might just part ways again.
Photos of their recording process can be viewed here or from their official Facebook page.
The last new material that came from Soundgarden was in the form of a single called Black Rain which was included in their 2010 compilation album, Telephantasm. Kim Thayil also wrote and composed a new piece which is available on iTunes called TheTelephantasm.
It's been a long time since we've last heard from Tool, other than their mini 2010 tour and the upcoming BDO mainstage set in February. These are a few clips to get those mouths salivating for an awesome year of Tool touring and hopefully an album release.
ZETALAMBMARY started off as a music blog by Wraith and Zen. They are the sole contributors to reviews, news and articles. Anything and everything on Metal. Now three years later, January 2011, they have come up with a physical copy available to all metal fans in Singapore.
The magazine will be sold at:
Inokii
#03-30, Far East Plaza, Singapore.
A list of more available locations will be updates soon. Check back for more information on the debut issue.
UPDATES:
"Due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, printing process is kind of interrupted at the moment. Hardcopies will probably only be out by early February." - Zetalambmary on Facebook.com
Finally found the HD version, so I've decided to share it here.
An interview with Maynard on Carson Daly discussing his first steps into the wine business and his current vocal prowess as compared to his past vocal achievements.
Recent news has said that the Limp Bizkit guitarist, Wes Borland has temporarily left the band to join Electro-Industrial band, Combichrist. Limp Bizkit has yet to release their upcoming anticipated album, Gold Cobra. This would supposedly be Borland's forth time departing with the band.
Well, being a huge fanboy of this band, I was very excited by this 37sec clip posted on youtube by Maynard.
It's awesome to see Josh and Billy Howerdel back along with the hands of (supposedly) James Iha on the rhythm guitar. Hoping that there'll be new tracks once they've gotten past the "warm-up" club gigs.
It's been awhile since this great band has surfaced with anything big, but after the recent announcement of tour dates and touring lineup, Antiquiet conducted an interview with Billy Howerdel. It's quite a good read, so check it out.
