Galactic Protector : Evening

There’s truly something quite magical about Galactic Protector’s debut album Evening. It’s made much in the same fashion as a lot of electronic/synth-heavy records are; human in a room with synthesizers, drum machines, and recording device. Ideas based around futuristic worlds and epic struggles put to music. But with Bryan Richie(bass/keys player for rockers The […]

Imitation Girl Soundtrack : Natasha Kermani and Kevin Hufnagel

Imitation Girl is one of those little movies that if you don’t pay enough attention you might just miss it. This would be an absolute shame as it’s quite a unique and endearing sci fi film that works and connects on a very human level. The film, written and directed by Natsha Kermani, stars Lauren […]

Hopeful Dystopia : Bryan Richie Talks Galactic Protector, Songwriting, and Influences

I know The Sword. I mean, I don’t know them personally. We don’t hang out and have beers together or anything, but I’ve been privy to their groovy 70s doom/prog/stoner sound for some time now.

Imagine a Frank Frazetta painting in music form; chromed-out cod pieces, blood-red skies, and the battle cry of warriors taking […]

Kelton Jones’ ‘Dry Blood’

Dry Blood tells the tale of a man who retreats to a cabin in the woods to quit drugs cold turkey. He calls a friend to meet him there and help him on his journey to sobriety. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, as simple as a junkie heading to the woods to sweat out years […]

Daniel Davies : Soeurs De Glisse Soundtrack

Daniel Davies is not one to sit on his laurels. He could, as he’s earned a bit of looking back and admiring what he’s done in just the last couple of years. He’s released a bevy of amazing records with John and Cody Carpenter(Lost Themes, Lost Themes 2, Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1988), not to mention […]

Deadly Avenger : Your God Is Too Small

Damon Baxter and Pete Diggens blew our minds and eardrums back in 2018 with the behemoth that was Deadly Avenger’s I Am Godzilla, You Are Japan. Not a single window or piece of fine china was safe when the beat dropped on that epic piece of beat blastin’ science fiction. The synth riffs were dense and […]
