Been running around like a headless chicken, seen days turn to nights and Monday suddenly thrust upon us! Well, let’s have a quick glance back at what happened on the HiVe and hope to do more this week. You check out Gjenferd yet? Great seventies rock! Got tickets for RippleFest Texas? Or HufrFest, happening almost next week? Hope so! If not, get inspired by the instrumental beauty that is Bismut! Get electrified by Devil Electric and mystified by Misty Route! And if all that isn’t enough, make sure to revisit that Quick Fire Friday segment done by Ronny Dijksterhuis, eight gloriously heavy bands there! So, check’m out! All of’m! Have a great week!

Rated: ****
 

We never wrote about the earlier Without A Trace release, and we certainly should have. But luckily we can now remedy the fact that we neglected to write about Misty Route by publishing a few words on the wild and wonderful new album Ethos! For it has a certain burning desire to it all, a story to tell and in a way only Greek bands seem to be able to do it. Their countrymen of The Same River, for instance, have that gift as well. Well... You just have to let go and follow the music as it leads the way.

A traveler steps onto a shadowed path, where each turn reveals a new shade of sound and emotion. Misty Route’s Ethos unfolds like this journey. Driven by modern, muscular riffs, thunderous bass, and powerful, haunting vocals. The road shifts between heavy rock grit, grungy undertones, and progressive metal complexity, never settling, always pulling you deeper. Moments of melody break through the darkness, only to be swallowed again by brooding grooves and dynamic contrasts. Each track feels like a chapter, rich with tension and release. By the end as the mist clears… You are left with  a striking, immersive album that lingers long after the final note fades…
