With Sails Ahead to conduct operation: Darting Eyes, this Wednesday

Every November, the AsterTracks team takes a month off to prepare for Best Of month as well as reflect on the year as a whole. However, the two of us have received some pressing information linked to a string of disappearances that needs to be released to the public immediately. In two days time, New Jersey rock outfit With Sails Ahead are to conduct operation: Darting Eyes within the school the aforementioned disappearances have taken place. Below is a report that we recommend reading in order to remain safe against forces still unseen.

With Sails Ahead’s forthcoming single, seemingly the first in anticipation of their debut record, opens with a sense of urgency. A storm siren followed by a riff that activates a feeling of danger starts things off and utilizes all audio channels, even if only for a moment, to awaken the listener to assailants in close proximity. The lyricism here is quite clever, being dual natured by serving as both a warning to something that may wish to do you harm, but also reminding you that sometimes it isn’t your strength, but your wit that could play a role in your survival. Instrumentally there is a well played progression from the guard dropping opening.


Sierra Binondo, captain of With Sails Ahead, solidifies herself as one of the best in her field here. Sierra pushes her voice, seemingly, to a strain on a chorus so effective that we feel it’s one of the catchiest of the year. This vocal effect is something that drew us to her talents in the first place and this is only driven deeper by a declaration that she “swore she stared at the face of death,” a line whose delivery we’ve been thinking about since this intel was delivered to our office. This chorus and the section after only does a better job of creating a sense of danger and in the post chorus is in its purest form, quick, compact and vital for safety. The track comes to a close with a burst of energy that leaves you out of breath as if it were happening right in front of you, but we’ll leave that confidential until it's available to the public.


Remember to keep an eye out this Wednesday, fifteenth of November, when this operation is conducted. Also be sure to look out this spring for even more action from With Sails Ahead. We thank you for examining this report and hope it assists in your safety and survival. We’d also like to thank With Sails Ahead for leaking this information. The two of us must rest now.


Until December.

Best of Month: The top 25 songs of the year

Hi, it’s me, it’s Claudia, and today I’m going to do something I haven’t done yet. So every year I do the top ten singles of the year, but I don’t actually even listen to singles anymore. Unless I know they’re going to be singles, like on their own, otherwise I feel like they’re spoiling the record for me. This year I thought it’d be fun to broadcast my top twenty-five songs of the year because I do this every year for friends, mainly myself, but now it can be content. So, this won’t be a highly produced blog post and instead be very casual but hopefully you’ll get something out of it. If you’re coming from Reddit read the link below before leaving any comments for me on here or Reddit itself and let’s get started. Also, quick note. Some of these did not come out this year but are on records released this year. In those cases, assume I haven't heard the track till this year. Coming from Reddit? Start here! #25 “Glow in the Dark” by Mothica is from Rocksmith+ but it's also just

Best of Month; the Top 10 Albums of 2023

2023 has come to a close and it was a lot to unpack. After relocating last year I had to figure out what to do next, admittedly a scarier process than moving itself. I’ve settled in now, changes have gone on, there were a lot of hard times and a lot of great memories made throughout the year. You may have noticed, if you’re a long-time reader, I was far less open about my own personal life in my reviews. If you’re new and this is your first year here, then hey you never knew this part of the blog. In these blurbs there are personal anecdotes, but they are far less revealing. Regardless, thank you for even clicking here. This year for my own writing was possibly the best yet. I reviewed more albums in one year than ever before and worked with ten artists to promote their stuff before the release date. If all the stars align there’s one more thing coming out this year. I hope you had a great year yourself, are having a relaxing holiday season and enjoy this recap of albums. Please suppor

Best of Month: The final reviews of the year

Image
Best of Month! We wrote so many reviews this year there were a ton leftover. So, to open the year end stuff this year, we're emptying the vault. There are a few pre-requisites for reading this year (but only if you came from Reddit) So look for that below. From Reddit? Start here! Rat Jesu - Prepared to Die (Drixxo Lords) I have been a pretty public cybergrind defender on the timeline, but in all honesty I haven’t dug into the genre on my own time. I’m not sure if you would consider Rat Jesu cybergrind but they’re definitely part of the movement, in fact I came to this record by following this artist from a feature on the newest Blind Equation. As I said above, Prepared to Die isn’t so much cybergrind but it is a neat, quick nu metal record with hyperpop influence. James from Blind Equation does show up as a feature and the song he’s on is a hit regardless of genre. My favorite track on the record, however, has got to be “Priestess of the Godless Valley,” There are two other featur
