A thread for hardcore, metal, noise and generally heavy music in 2013 that could be a roller, I guess
What sort of things are looming over the next year that you're creaming your knickers about?
Hoax are playing in Glasgow at the end of the month and I'm both beside myself with excitement and absolutely terrified. Undoubtedly, if you choose to seek out some live videos of Hoax, you will most likely bear witness to their singer indulging in some ferocious casual violence, mostly directed to the faces of audience members. Pull the fucking trigger.
And anything you're hoping for?
I could do with a Loma Prieta UK/European tour this year. They're supporting Raein on their American tour and if they'd accompanied them on the UK leg…my god, that would've been really nice. Anyway, they haven't played in the UK since 2011, and since they released IV last year (which is fucking intense), I think they should come over here for a bit with utmost immediacy.
Step up and speak.
New Kvelertak in March
Radio 1 premiered a new song yesterday. I haven't heard it yet but I assume it's amazing.
Apart from that I'm looking forward to new stuff from the Bronx and Pissed Jeans. And I don't know who else have releases lined up so I'll be monitoring this thread with interest..
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Kvelertak!
I'm also looking forward to hearing Honeys, too, but the artwork is terrible. Pissed Jeans have had near impeccable artwork for their past albums - even Shallow had a certain King-of-the-Hill-cell charm to it.
There was a new Kvelertak song up on youtube briefly
but it got taken down. It was played on the Radio 1 rock show originally, so you can still listen to it on the iplayer I think. But then you'd have to listen to the Radio 1 rock show.
It's business as usual anyways. Big riffs, oddly catchy vocals, a one note piano solo, a sudden break into a 'God Gave Rock n' Roll to You' esque bit in the middle...yup. I can't wait for the album.

Please do not discuss noise on DiS.
Unless Sonic Youth have a new album out, of course.Cementimental, no-class, ThisTemporaryLife, and Antelope this'd this
Saint Vitus are touring in March.
Lots of dates.
hang on a minute
st vitus are back!
when did this happen
New Pianos Become the Teeth/Touché Amore split
coming out on Deathwish at the end of the month. Both songs might be the best they've put out.poptimusgrime and Caesurob this'd this

link? only heard ribcage, innit.
Youth Wasted
From the Ribcage 7" - Into The Black
Both complete bangers, so pumped for this 4th album.
Ya think?
They've gone quite...ah...'heartland rock', I guess. Which is fine by me, I love Tom Petty, but I do miss the rip-yer-throat-out pissed-offedness of the first three records. Thoughts?
what's 'heartland rock'?
The three tracks I've heard all sound like beefed up versions of what III was doing. They've still got it. I heard them play some new stuff last year when they toured small venues in November, and it absolutely killed.
There are definitely
some fucking huge choruses on newer Bronx. But I do miss the earlier more hardcore'n'roll rough round the edges stuff too.
Live though - it's ALL good.
Who's going to the 13th london Bronx show?
If so, I'll be the chump selling the screenprinted posters.
Now that is interesting
Thinking of going to see Cult of Luna in a couple of weeks. May have to investigate ahead of time..
Two pretty amazing-lineup noise compilations from the late 90's/earlu 2000 just web-released
Recently unearthed from deep within the vaults of the Anti-Everything noise label resurfaces the long lost masters of "Noise Conglomerate" Vols. IV & V. Two 99 track CD compilations that never saw the light of day. An international collection of turn of the millennium noise, extreme music and sound art compiled between 1998 and 2002. Now freely available for mass consumption.lemonbrickcombo and lardsnail this'd this
HATERS vs MOZ!!!!
Can't listen to this at work, but my god I hope that's HAters doing a Morrissey cover!
I don't think i've heard any recorded Eugenics Council stuff either (that's not just a live video).
Look forward to downloading/listening to this when I get home.
:D alas i don't think so...
Listening to vol IV now, it's good tho heavy on the found spoken word over noise kind of thingg so far
Aluk Todolo will be touring in May
I highly suggest you already block out all of May in your calendar
no chance they'll come to Brighton
I guess.
Might actually go up to London for this.
Ash Borer's first album is out on CD on Profound Lore now, which is nice - anyone who doesn't have it should get it.
When will Ash Borer or Fell Voices visit the UK please.
Agalloch are touring Europe but not the UK. gah.
The new Fen album 'Dustwalker' is pretty good, that's just come out. Norfolk Black Metal. Not much dust there though.
Was thrilled to see Ash Borer & Fell Voices were doing a Euro tour
Less thrilled when no UK dates were added. Grrrrr.
This might have been mentioned last year but I really like the Slomo record they released in Decemberish
The Grain. It's the kind of folklore I can get along with.
also, the Dillinger Escape Plan are recording at the moment,
so that should be out sometime later this year
I'm pretty excited about this and the tour that'll come with it.
Never tire of that band live.
I could JAG a million Cementimental things but people would complain
So I'll just link to this post on Troniks which I'm keeping updated with listing of all my shows including Bristol and London this fri/sat and Ireland tour later in the month and hopefully many more throughout the year, keep an eye on it if you're interested (and/or the google calendar on www.cementimental.com) :)
anselmo warbeast is real good
New Clutch album out in March called 'Earthrocker.'
New Bronx one as mentioned above.
Probably not HEAVY enough, but I've heard 2 new Funeral For A Friend songs and they're pretty damn great sounding.
The Distance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XXKa6YjJaU
Very melodic hardcore style, so yeah, looking forward to Conduit actually.
When I used HEAVY, I, of course, meant heavy in inverted commas
so it would cover everything from stuff that weighs several hundred tonnes to your neighbour's wee brother's Descendents tribute band! (Y)
I miss the days when I got excited about a new Clutch record
But the last two haven't been much cop, and judging by the title track this one sounds every bit as lazy as those two. Sad times.
yeah :(
I think Robot Hive Exodus was the last one I liked and I only liked about half of that
I'm a big fan of Robot Hive personally
but that's the last album they did where they bothered to road test songs. Now they just rock up to the studio and write shit on the fly. And their complacency shows.mug_mug_mug this'd this
I really like the direction FFAF have gone in since they faded from mainstream popularity.
Much better than the big emo sap power ballads of old.
I heard another new one the other day, definitely gonna get Conduit I think.
How much of the Casually Dressed ... line-up is still in FFAF?
Didn't recognise most of those people :(
Only 2.
Singer and one of the guitarists. Their drummer left last year to start a family or something. Will miss his big screamy face.
What do you think of the new stuff?
That song up there had a nice soaring BIIIIIIIIIIIIG chorus
a nice poppy-hardcore riff thing going on in. Don't think I'd seek FFAF out to listen to them any more, but I wouldn't turn them off if they came on TV or the radio or something. Too into my bellend 80's cop show electro now.
you and your bellend 80s cop electronic music
*ruffles hair*
Yeah massive choruses is a big tick for me. This is the first of their stuff I've listened to since Hours, so I dunno how it compares to those two albums that were in the middle.
there were three in the middle.
Tales Don't Tell Themselves isn't great - pretty much a blatant stab at mainstream success.
Memory And Humanity is really awful - it was released after tales didn't make the impact they wanted, and sounds really confused as to what band they wanted to be, as if they wanted to go heavier but just couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Welcome Home Armageddon is a good listen though - a lot more hardcore than previous ones.
ah, thought I'd forgotten one.
someone else told be Welcome Home Armageddon is the best of that lot in the middle section.
It appears two of them are still in the line-up from then
Matt Davies and Kris Coombs-Roberts. I didn't even recognise Matt Davies...
Plaids from Nottingham have a nice line in melodic hardcore...
sort of reminds me of old No Idea stuff. Might be up shucks' street...
The drumming is HUGE on this, lovely stuff.
This is so far up my street, I've invited it in for a beer and flapjacks.
I play drums in Plaids; this was a nice thing to read.Alex-in-Ciderland this'd this
This is one of the things I love about drownedinsound!
Your music is great, how long have you guys been around?
We started up last year.
This year's going to be really busy (hooray!). We've got the EP coming out soon, then we'll record again in Feb/March for 3 splits with Football Etc, No Action and XaXaXa. Then we're planning a tour in summer with Football, Etc. After that, maybe some European dates and a 12" in the winter.
When's your stuff being released?
the bandcamp says "when the vinyl is done" or something and I want you to take my money for the EP that is REALLY VERY GOOD
Thanks :)
The music and artwork are all finished and with the vinyl pressing people. So the EP will be out as soon as they make it and send it back to us. Hopefully February!
Vales are about to record their debut, have high hopes for it.
Going to see Kerouac play a benefit gig for the Joiners in Southampton. Their gig at the Old Blue Last in July was one of the most intense gigs I have ever been to, so I am looking forward to it. Would be good if the Long Haul played as well.Caesurob this'd this
Ginger from the Wildhearts
...has just released 2 albums under the Mutation banner. They are MUCH heavier and more brutal and extreme than the Wildhearts.
For fans of Faith no More/Motorhead/Sepultura.
these albums are solidly WIERD.
Merzbow and Mark E Smith contributing to the same track? Yeah okay.
heavy as fuck, absurdly twisty and off the wall... pretty excellent.

Drunk In Hell are releasing their debut album this year,
as well as a split 7" with Kilslug.
Both of these should be absolutely thrilling in the worst way possible. A flaying on record in 2013.DaddyorChips, supahotfire, and gonad this'd this
Tomahawk have a new album out soon
and it's an actual Tomahawk record and not a bizarre collection of native American weirdness, so that could be good.
I can't listen whilst in work
so I'm just going to have to hope you're wrong.
Though I've heard the title track, and that was pretty poor..
seems to be an attempt at a radio friendly pop song
but they sound bored and old
it's actually pretty average. I dunno why, but they were better with Kev on bass.
new album by comadre released yesterday
for fans of old school screamo/hardcore punkSarahIsPi this'd this
are recording a new album and put up two new tunes for people that peldged.
pretty fucking excellent, i am now incredibly excited about this album.
new Retox (in Feb I think)
The PR build up suggests they've put a bit more effort into it but no Gabe drumming on this one sadly.
There first show at Old Blue Last in April'11 was awesome
Wasn't too keen on the last one - no Gabe drumming and I think he added a lot of the energy to the band. They were also very quiet about him not being on that tour - all the promo shots for it had him in it so we were pretty pissed with some 17 year old trying to compensate for Gabe
Not at all heavy, but some tasty riffs
But as connected to bands like Hot Snakes/Drive Like Jehu...
Speedo's other other band The Night Marchers second album comes out in a couple of weeks.
I know about 1/3 of the tracks on there, and they're bloody awesome, can't wait to hear the whole record.
Excellent; I'll be listening to that.
Bloody Mammals, from London, play that sorta stuff, and they've got an EP coming out in a month or two.wibblypig007 this'd this
Put on his old band with Silent Front a way back.
Btw - The Night Marchers album is EXCELLENT - as is the Metz ST album.
This new band of his
is way better the old one. Silent Front, meanwhile, were awesome then and still are now. Hopefully they'll do more stuff this year too.
Silent Front are recording a new album
Have possibly finished now - a friend of mine engineered and recorded it and it's apparently sounding immense. Not surprising though, they're a great band.
Yup, Yup,
Yes, BM are better than SG. Fact. But SG did have one song with a beast of a hook.

New Circle Takes the Square album was put up on their Bandcamp before Xmas.
Gonna give it a listen tonight. I expect good things.
it's pretty good
first half is the EP they already released but the second half is pretty bangin'
So very true.
I've loved As The Roots Undo like it was my own flesh and blood for YEARS, and I often wonder if this is because I always secretly thought they would never make another record. This kinda makes it hard to connect with the new record.
That said, the album is very, very good. CTTS are incredibly solid songsmiths, meaning that it's all lovingly crafted and sounds about as lush as anything they've made so far. It's just not the record I fell in love with. It's not them, it's me.
it suffers horribly in comparison to 'As the Roots Undo'
but then so does almost everyhting ever recorded ever.
It's good, it's ambitious, it's a grower, but as the follow up the best record ever created by human beings in any genre ever ever then it's a bit of let-down inevitably.

New Your Demise video
possibly the worst and most embarrassing band associated with hardcore?
on a more positive note
am really looking forward to Despise You coming over to play some gigs.
I dunno, I've seem some pretty awful tough guy bands.
but then they're never as popular as your demise seem to be.
I dunno, breakdowns get very boring
was made aware of a band who say 'lets get fucking autistic' to get their crowds going the other day.
From what I can gather
the singer also announced on stage that 'tote bags are for queers' and then Punched the (female) singer from Vales and pissed on a load of their tshirts when confronted about it.
That was Emerald Eyes not Your Demise.
That was appauling though, they pissed on Vales' merch as well...I mean WTF.StormJH this'd this
I wouldn't consider myself particularly knowledgble regarding grindcore

Scott Ian is doing a spoken word tour later this year
I'm pretty sure that Scott Ian being an awesome dude is at least 50% of the appeal of Anthrax as a band.

Re: Scott Ian being the appeal of Anthrax.
I couldn't tell you the name of anyone else in the band. And it always seemed weird that Scott Ian was in Anthrax and wasn't just some guy who was best friends, yet utterly respected, all of the metal bands ever, so was invited to do interviews for Behind the Music and metal documentaries and that all the time.
i might go see them both separately in Newcastle this year
New Bring Me The Horizon (lol)
Just sounds like something Underoath would've written a decade ago. Except they probably wouldn't have randomly shouted 'fuck' halfway through the song.
Had lunch with Scott Ian last week.

They've already destroyed parts of Spain and France, so I guess they're going back to finish off what's left of them.
Witch Cult announced their break up
:( one last show with Despise You.
For real this time I think
It's been on the cards for a while but kinda hush hush.
The drummer from Bastions has left too, that was a while ago now I was waiting for them to announce it before bringing it up but it doesn't look like they're going to.
I missed them last time they came up, too.
Fucking hell, what?
:( One of those bands I never got to see because of stuff getting in the way.
they're doing one last show in bristol
My friend might try and sort a minibus if enough people want to, PM me if you wanna know more, you're in southampton right?
Glasgow, it's hunt/gather's final show tonight at bloc
its free, and this other great band is playing.
came out last year, but i've only just got round to listening to it
Colum of Heaven - Mission from God
Members of The Endless Blockade, noisy powerviolence.
Pretty pretty good
cool profile of Jacob Bannon
All We Love was probably my favourite of all of last years new releases which I bought last year (arguably overtaken by Bell Witch and Pallbearer which came out last but I bought this). It's so rare that a band just truly has IT
Fauna - Avifauna
came out late 2012 to little fanfare, amazing though if you like the greener side of things
Missed this
how did this sneak out without me knowing. Probably because their label "has been optimized for unsearchability"

Really liking the new Funeral For A Friend album
been blasting it out this afternoon. Some proper bangers on it. Liking the poppy punk-hardcore direction they've taken.
Ive been listening to No by Old Man Gloom a fair bit recently
just about every part of it is something that i might look for in a heavy record but there's something about it that I just can't quite connect with. Theres a kind of sterility to it, perhaps not being a full time band robs it of some emotional weight, but its something that I find with a lot of Aaron Turner's albums with OML and Isis. I appreciate his work but I find it hard to love despite being right up my street on paper.
That said there is so much to like about this album, its probably my favourite Aaron Turner album, and while admitedly I didn't keep up with new releases very well, it would probably have a solid entry in my favourite albums of 2012.
Does anyone have this problems with any bands or albums or am I overthinking and should shut up and enjoy the riffs?
The latter.
Personally I prefer Old Man Gloom to ISIS.
you don't like to feel a connection or bond with the music you listen to?
one of those nick hornby list makers are you?
- ethricdouble this'd this
blasting it while stomping too and from town
in the howling wind and lashing rain helps
one day it will click
it has to
the music has some many things i should really love about it
Haven't really felt too strongly about much punk/metal recently
But there's always a few records I love each year. What would you guys recommend if I've loved the following over the last few years;
Dangers - Messy, isn't it?
Ceremony Rohnert Park
White Lung - Sorry
Joyce Manor - s/t
Trap Them - Darker Handcaft
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
Arabrot - Solar Anus
Retox - Ugly Animals
If you loved the Trap Them album, I'd definitely recommend getting your ears around Nails - Unsilent Deathsoapy and poptimusgrime this'd this
Yeah, I remember liking that when it was released
Definitely worth a revisit I reckon. That new song that was released last week sounded cool too.
I think maybe it's just I have less energy to listen to heavy records all the time at the moment for whatever reason. I kinda pick and choose what I get into, but I don't doubt there is loads of great stuff about.
i haven't heard the new track yet
but every time i search youtube for new albums i want to check out i find the video reviews of this one bald guy who seems to like all the music i do - and actually say some interesting things for a youtube reviewer - and he was tripping balls over it so I'm looking forward to getting into it when i have time
annoying-jumpy-video-edit-thingsoapy this'd this
The Needle Drop guy?
He is fucking deplorable. His videos used to feature these weird jittery/glitchy edits in them, kind of like Max Headroom, where things would double up, or slow down, and they were so infuriating. Are they still like that?
more so
and he has a sidekick of himself playing keyboard in a cardigan sometimes too
i wonder how much time he's actually giving some fo the albums considering how many he reviews. Like when I get a new album I really like I'll listen to almost nothing else for a few days or even a few weeks so to turn it off and appreciate a different record about four days later is kind of alien to me. But then, we all listen to music in different ways so whatever works for him, he obviously gets through some quality releases in his time.
He seems to contradict himself from one review to the next, but he's able to talk about music with enough eloquence for people not to notice.
It often sounds like he can't really find anything to say, so he just expands really grandly on minor niggles in attempt to seem a bit more informed. I find his style to be a bit grating.
he sounds like he's reading a wikipedia entry
about types of music he'd never heard about 5 minutes before
What I find quite strange is how he requests which albums to review next,
so I wonder how many are albums he actually wanted to listen to, how many were sent to him for reviews, and how many are ones that enough people have asked him to review.
I also can't imagine labels or whoever sending him recently released albums, asking for reviews. I mean, they might, like they would send them to magazines, and he does somehow have some sort of strange respect or clout as a youtube album reviewer, but I can't picture anyone taking him seriously. It would be totally different if he was reviewing swathes of DIY/underground/unknown releases.
he doesn't get thousands of views either
although he is very prolific in getting all over every hip new release
Oh my GOD
He's 10!? Shit...
new lows as well might be up your street
if you like Nails/Trap Them
Arabrot are awesome!
You might like trying out Mælstrøm by Oathbreaker - pretty great stuff right there. Deathwish are my favourite label at the moment, they keep releasing utter fucking brilliance.codpieceface this'd this
this for oathbreaker, they're so very good
could never get into arabrot meself.
hows about martyrdod kyle?
Great, cheers for the suggestions!
Gonna check out New Lows, Oathbreaker and Martyrdod over the next few days. Will let you know how I get on.

i still love this video
you listen hayaino daisuki soapy?
it's the guitarist and chang from gridlink fulfilling all their super fast thrash metal dreams. spent far too much time recommending their stuff to people on here but both EPs are 10/10, no fooling. if loads of people started buying them then maybe they'll make a new one someday.
I gave the new Pissed Jeans album a listen this morning
It's streaming on Spin, for whom Matt Korvette writes a fashion blog (really: http://www.spin.com/#writers/matt-korvette). It's quite gnarly and totally numbskull and pretty vile. Therefore, it's absolutely great, despite the still criminally awful album cover. I really like 'Health Plan'. I had to listen to it twice.
BOOM. http://www.spin.com/#articles/pissed-jeans-honeys-new-album-stream
Yes, this is great, and yes, the cover art is...disappointing.
No love for the new Voivod record yet?
It's excellent. A real return to form after a handful of ropey efforts. Spidery, discordant riffs vocals aplenty.
haven't spent enough time with this so far but my-my, it's good. mechanical mind is especially massive.
New Kvelertak video. :D
the chorus has a great moment in it
This is fucking great :Dsoapy this'd this
Lyrics videos though :(
Song is pretty great.
It's growing on me a little
but still sounds like a pale imitation of the Clutch I know and love. Sad.
to be honest
it feels to me that after Blast Tyrant - or arguably Pure Rock Fury - they really settled upon The Clutch Sound and have been working very much on just tinkering around the edges. Whereas every album leading up to PRF was very different to its neighbours.
Although the Clutch Sound is so much better than what pretty much everyone else is doing it doesn't really matter
Yeah, that's fair to say
Blast Tyrant was the last album where they really road tested the material. Since then they've just shuffled into the studio knocked out some songs that sound like Clutch and toured the crap out of them. They've fully earned these lazy years to be fair to them, and like you say Clutch half asleep sound better than most bands on their best days, but I just miss getting excited about them releasing stuff :(
They need to bring back the trumpets like on Elephant Riders
stonking album that, probably my fave of theirs.
well good

gorguts announce first record in more than a decade
this is all relevant to my interests.
Invisible Oranges is good
Hopefully now that Gorguts contain 2/3 of Dysrhthmia, they've written some music that can hold my interest for more than 5 minutes.
The Body are terribly underrated band, and that Intronaut song's making me pretty excited for their new album
it's changed loads since i last checked it
i knew cosmo had quit but there must be a new editor or something, miles more content.
The production is a bit ropy on that new Intronaut tune eh?
It sounds like I'm listening to a demo.
metal is the best music

He did.
Grinning like a champ - I love the non-poser style / persona he has - Just a dude loving being a frontman. No posteuring, just having fun.
It's only rock'n'roll etc etc
somewhat alarmingly
the guys who are two of the biggest people in rock music in newcastle didn't know st.vitus were playing
i'm worried that if i go to the show now that if those two didn't know then no one will and it'll be really sad watching the grizzled old band going through the motions to 24 semi-interested folk and one nutter going crazy at the front embarrassing us all
sort of
but imagine a gig that even Jonesy and Big Gordon don't know about in a medium/large sized venue by a veteran metal band who probably shouldn't be in a room that big anyway
it'll be like when Sepultura headlined the academy but the gig wasn't advertised with the rest of the tour in the press so it was downstairs and less than half full all over again
but emptier because no one even remembers that northumbria uni is still a venue
FFS Jonsey what are you playing at?!
Expected better of ol' Big Gord too.
I don't actually know who they are, I'm just being a bit of a dick. :(
I don't think any of the tour has been promoted too well so far. I only know about it because I happened to see a London show listed on Last.fm
they've been around forever and have dj'd and put on shows and run the rock bar in town and everything over the years
The Magic Band are playing in two weeks
just found out yesterday. The Magic fecking Band. In Cluny 2!!!!

still went hard though
new Nails stuff
they get mentioned on here a lot so thought i'd post it
anyone know
when we hear more hevy additions?
last years lineup was scarily good
The latest speaker-pushing air-boiling from Moss
According to Commentators of The Internet, apparently it hasn't been too well received by some people, but the jury's still out as to whether the haters are Moss purists or kids baffled that music can be this slow without being put through a time-stretch program.
I for one am enjoying the turning of this cook's spit. Proceedings begin typically Moss-like - less a riff, more a succession of despair - but once the Horrible Night settles in, things get pretty triumphant. Best they've done yet.
This is really nice
But I'm really not a fan of the vocals.
I'm putting on some silly grind/punk bands next Thursday.
A free gig at The Unicorn in Camden. It will probably be rather fun. Come down if you feel so inclined. I'll try and sneak in some proper music between and after the bands.
Crap Punk from Manchester.
Relentless hellnoise duo featuring Dom Lawson.
Daft death metal parody wizards.
Genuinely just an awful band.

Big fan of this d-beat/crust/Entombed revival that's flourishing at the moment, and these chaps are probably the best of the bunch. Just total, unrelenting punishment. Ace.
Speaking of D-Beat, this is the new(ish) band that the drummer from Marzuraan is now in:

Sodb - Don Seantalamh a Chuid Fein
Irish shoegazey black metal featuring the drummer from Altar of Plagues - quite like WITTR but a bit rougher round the edges. I personally don't rate the vocals but they're pretty sparse & the instrumentation's great.
Looking forward to new Wode stuff sometime soon too.
her parents loud enough>?
Anyone who has seen Hookworms live knows that they are an enervating, entrancing, life-enhancing experience. The Leeds quintet create hypnotic, cathartic, discombobulating dance music through a disorienting combination of echo-swamped vocals, garage bred organ, fuzz-blitzed wah-wah guitars and constantly driving rhythms. It just sounds like so many rock & roll clichés on paper, but these unassuming young men who rarely remove their coats and insist on only being known by their initials somehow make it completely new. You forget about your record collection and mental index of comparisons, and find yourself just stood in a small sweaty room with this vicious, compulsive noise swirling around you, and singer MJ stood at his keyboard screaming his lungs out about how "you're losing your face" and god knows what else.
Broadly and correctly described as a psychedelic band, Hookworms are fans of Black Flag and US hardcore who deflect individual attention (hence the initials-only stance), show no desire to give up their day jobs, and enthusiastically muck in with the experimental DIY scene loosely centred on Nottingham's exemplary Gringo Records (the indie label on which Pearl Mystic is released). So far they've released a clutch of limited-run EPs, live cassettes and split seven-inches, but these offered little clue as to how well the occult fire of the gigs (because magic is too wimpy, too precious a term) would transfer onto their debut album.
Well, fret no more. Pearl Mystic is that live bacchanal, focussed and given clarity but not compromised or cleaned up in any way- it was self-produced in MJ's own Suburban Studios, after all- and with a couple of newly-crafted curveballs thrown in for good measure. All you could wish for, in other words- and at 44 minutes, it even hits that "one side of a C90" classic perfect album length. It fades in with the epic 'Away Towards,' building slowly until the song finally crashes into life dead on the three minute mark, and every Loop / Stereolab move you thought was old and worn out suddenly becomes fresh and vital again. It's metronomic, but not droning; psychedelic, definitely, but shoegazing? Fuck, no - the vocals may be reduced to near-unintelligibility by the Roland space echo, but MJ looks you right in the eye throughout, his rallying cry of "Come on!" Iggy-defiant as each vertiginously-descending rollercoaster chorus kicks in, the song oscillating wildly with the acid evangelism and garage fervour of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators linked to Suicide's street punk, sci-fi nihilism.
The call-and-response Velvet Underground swagger of 'Form and Function' follows; screaming desperation blistered and burnt in the body's own chemical maelstrom as the mind struggles to come to terms with rejection and loss. There's a loose lyrical theme of depression and break-up running throughout the album, and this song in particular feels like the endless internal dialogue of that situation that all the drink and drugs just can't block out; they just wrap it in distorted guitars and deep organ stabs, and if you're lucky hit you with just this level of warm fuzz overload so the pain seems almost pleasant and you stagger blithely into the opiated haze of 'i', a blanket of unconditional white noise that finally gives way in turn to the loping bass and needle-guitar prickling of 'In Our Time.'
This is the album's first real wild card, a strung-out ballad that recalls Primal Scream at their most fractured and narcotic. It takes a while to love, but the decision to vary the pace on Pearl Mystic, in contrast to just replicating Hookworms' brain-frazzling live shows, was a wise one, and 'In Our Time' could prove to be one of the album's most rewarding tracks. Likewise the tambourine-driven pulse of 'Since We Changed,' which more closely resembles Spacemen 3 or Wooden Shjips, its shamanic healing trance repeatedly circling a core of contained pain, like the Doors' 'The End' as deconstructed by Sunburned Hand of the Man. Speaking of whom, what's the betting Hookworms were among the youngsters whose heads were turned and lives changed by those incredible Sunburned Hand live shows in the early noughties, their chaotic freeform ritualism offering a million possibilities that are still being acted out by the small and scattered provincial freak units who allowed themselves to be possessed by the capricious, maverick muse the Sunburned collective fleetingly summoned?
The Raymond Carver referencing 'Preservation' blasts the light from the room, an armoured train careering through the Pennine sidings as Pudsey, Bradford, Halifax and Hebden Bridge are all immolated in apocalyptic rapture. Carver is nodded to again on 'What We Talk About,' pulling away from the ruins on blackened wings and gospel dreams, a repeated lament of "we say goodnight" hanging over slide guitar and organ intertwining without the slightest hint of retro reverence, just the sound of the view from the hill at night, the golden lights of Factory Town and the distant motorway roar.
Pearl Mystic is the best British psychedelic album since the 1990s; maybe more than that. There are promises in its depths that will only be made good in the weeks, months, years to come. Hookworms don't strike a pose, go through the motions or indulge in narcotised narcissism, stoned mirror-gazing in leather trousers. They are useful, they are fierce and alive, they are nuanced and open, and every noise, every rhythm they create serves a purpose. That purpose is not to recreate other records, or other eras; it is to dislocate the present moment, and to wrench freedom from our self-made psychic prisons. In other words, Hookworms are the real thing.
sorry. someone delete that? meant to post this youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvdRm0_og5Q but instead posted a hookworms album review that i just read WHAT

in other weirdo bm news this SPEkTR record is fucking grand
the drumming is really jazzy and there's dark ambient bits, psychedelic deasthspell/blut aus nord bits and scary door vocal samples. probably gonna end up one of my favourite bm records at this rate.

New Zozobra album available for pre-order on vinyl
Much gnarlier, faster and more direct than previous albums. Features everyone else from Cave In bar Steve Brodsky. I've put my order in.
Circle Takes The Square are touring europe this summer
So far, the only UK dates are:
30/7- Underworld, London
1/8- Manchester, The Star and Garter
as well as Hevy fest
glasgow too
classic grand!
the new No Omega album is pretty great
falls somewhere between doomy, melancholic post-metal and fiery post-hardcore.
new motorpsycho this week! still life with eggplant.
to the extent that major-key clean-sung prog-rock can be shoehorned into this thread - big recommends. apparently boosted by reine fiske from dungen!!!(!) playing on a bunch of tracks.(!)
not mad keen on that single so far, still, i love motorpsycho, they're one of the best bands and i trust. am excite. that golden void record still kicks everything's arse. listen to that too.
new single from the body
the suicide cult footage does not help but fuck that guy has some unsettling noises come from his mouth.
A band that scare me more than any other
Can't wait for the new album.
Circle Takes the Square, Code Orange Kids and Full of Hell

Pariso are playing at the London date as well

How are people finding Kvelertak's Meir?
Being someone who listened to their first one constantly, it's taking some time to sink in, but I'm really enjoying it. Bruane Brenn is so FUCKING good - that chorus. I don't care that I have no idea what they're singing. Spring Fra Livet, Evig Vandrar (the boot stomping bit is ace) Underto (really love the outro on this) and the track Kvelertak (totes AC/DC style) are all favourites at the moment. I want an owl hat.
my friends are releasing this album that you can listen to here :
I think it's pretty great and a massive grower. enjoy!
saw them last night and they left me just a little slack-jawed. double drums, trombone and saxophone live set up...think they would bring the house down at supersonic and/or atp etc! www.egetvaerelse.dk

Alas it's the last DISCIPLINE night for the foreseeable this friday:
Should be a great one. When I played there before it was total havoc. :D
at The Bunker Club, 46 Deptford Broadway:
"I am moving back to the states for an indefinite amount of time, and unfortunately what has been a great night will be drawing to a close for the forseeable future. But not without an almighty bang; come and join us on Friday the 26th of this month for what is sure to be an appropriately killer final act.
featuring sets from some of our favourites!:
the music starts at 10:30 so come down early!!
otherwise, business as usual--10pm doors, £2 in (all proceeds go to the bands and the venue). drinks--still only £2.50 doubles!
while I'm at it, would like to extend a big big thanks to all of the fantastic acts we've had on, and, most importantly, to Anne Bocking and the Bunker Club for their undying patience and support in putting up with our awful racket over the past 8 months."

Fell Voices - Regnum Saturni (as with Ash Borer, you need this band if you want to know why people like me still hammer on about how VITAL black metal still is. Post 2010 black metal is off the scale of essential. www.gileadmedia.bandcamp.com/album/regnum-saturni?. Listen to Emergence. Track of the year.)
Gevurah - Necheshirion (blackened death on Profound Lore: www.soundcloud.com/profoundlorerecords/gevurah-flesh-bounds?)
Horna - Askel Lähempänä Saatanaa (old school Finnish BM. this must be their 20th+ release in almost 20 years or something, yet somehow they just keep coming up with powerful stuff.

heh wouldn't be too hasty
toby said they need another 200 people to buy it before they can finish recording it, and they haven't delivered on their last kickstarter project yet.
excited for the album though, just not getting ahead of myself. the trailer is cool thuogh, does sound like they're trying to encapsulate all of their albums in one place.
I heard that they'd finished recording
but it needs to be mastered and that. I might be wrong.
yeah you're right, but:
We're still running our preorder to help fund the mastering and manufacturing of this record, so please have a listen to the trailer, and then head on over to http://kayodot.bigcartel.com to preorder a.s.a.p. so we can get this record out in time for our tenth anniversary in Autumn 2013. We need to sell about 200 more copies of the vinyl to move this along! Thanks so much for your ears & heart & continued support!

i preordered the deluxe vinyl
cost about £60 with postage
be worth it when it arrives i'm sure, the wait is killer though
well to be honest
I only ordered the digital copy since I'm really poor at the moment. Oh yeah, and I don't have a record deck. But I really hope they sell enough for this to happen
Might as well post the link to the Deafheaven album here too
I'm curious what people will think of it.
Just me or is the streaming quality a bit shit?
It sounds like the cymbals are underwater. Or maybe that's intentional.
I got into Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats recently...
70s style doom rock. Their new album is pretty great...
My friends over in For This World And These Hands Have Touched The Sky are doing a last set of shows soon
details here https://www.facebook.com/forthisworldishollow go see them, they're pretty good.
Listen to them here
FFO: being sad
Dillingers new album is on Spotify
half way through, really enjoyin it
i liked option paralysis!
ire works is the weak one for me
yeah agreed
i definitely like this more than OP though i think. really getting in to it now..
Haapoja - s/t album
Crusty dirty Finnish blackened hardcore. Can't decide whether it's more black metal or hardcore, it flips between them and melts them together really aggressively. Not that it really matters - It's fast, nasty and fun.
name-your-price d/l from bandcamp:
the cover art is pretty cool too.
New TesseracT album is surprisingly good
Loved their debut album, although I had it playing in the car the day a deer ran headlong into it on the way home from work, so I can't listen to it now with feeling a little bit jumpy. This one is less meshuggahesque and more mellow, with less deer-induced flashbackswewerewerewolvesonce this'd this
I've banged on about these guys before -
slow and heaviness
Enjoying this Xerxes EP
Kinda raggedy hardcore stuff with some old-school mewithoutYou bits.
Really need to make a more concerted effort to listen to heavier stuff more these days.
This new Filthy Turd album is pretty great!!
Recording every day since September '83. Fresh ejaculations from the Burselm tombs.
Humid scarlet leper observing tape
Squirming on the nightmare carpet
Despondent skull tape
Amazing fingers gone awful
Crude worm priestess droppings ere everywhere
Paranoid girls
Why quit the slime trolley now?
Graveyard tubes the sacred sex
Magical tape beasts on the planet of stinky dreams
New Gorguts song
I love how they have 2/3rds of Dysrhythmia now, Colin Marston's the man
New locrian is streamingbrainfeedr and GoatmeatMF this'd this
Indulge me a second
What might I like from this year's cull? I'm listening to Jute Gyte now and loving it. Spektr is presumably next. But what else?
ok you can probably upgrade Jute Gyte to 'possible album of the year'
and accept that what you recommend probably won't measure up
mother of fucking god
I'm glad you're a fan - I can't listen to it very often but by christ it's great when I can
if you like Jute Gyte you *might* like this guy called Blackest Lava, though he's more straight-up noise - http://blackestlava.bandcamp.com/album/darker-triangle
HONNINGBARNA - Verden Er Enkel
I made a thread about them but none of you dicks bothered to respond. ANYWAY....they're like a punk rock version of Kvelertak (all lyrics/shouting in Norwegian - full of big Refused-style riffs with a bit of cello thrown in as well.)
Here's a couple o' tracks:
Seriously, check these guys out, they rule hard.
Yeah heard good things about them. Might put it on later.
is out there. nice floaty chino post-metal goodness.
it's amazing. don't know what else i was expecting from chino + isis.
soudns exactly like you'd expect but it's pretty great. love that drummer, he's so... tasteful.

Former members of Ramesses and Bong have started a new project.
Needless to say, the results are fucking massive.

"This next song means a lot to me..." *RANDOM BLAST BEATS*
New Pelican
No prizes for guessing what it sounds like. I'll just add them to the list of bands I loved from 2003-2010 then got bored of when they started getting lazy.
Little JAG for a free download web-re-release of one of the most 'rare' (ie I got bored of making copies) Cementimental CDrs
two longish tracks of no-nonsense (or is 'all-nonsense' a better way to put that?) noise.
Check out True Widow
Blend of doom and shoegaze. Awesome stuff, their latest record is out on Hydrahead.
Really like Erlen Meyer's debut album
like a French Will Haven all stomping about like Godzilla and with a singer screeching like his lungs are haunted. Great stuff.
That's a good word for it
but, y'know, harrowing a good way.
circle takes the square tomorrow
well excited
- wewerewerewolvesonce and SarahIsPi this'd this
I don't think the new album had the same impact live.
The run of As the Roots Undo tracks near the end were so good though. In the Nervous Light of Sunday was awesome.
Code Orange Kids were cool, but I would have liked to see a headline show at a smaller venue. Seems a lot of people left before CTTS, which is mental.
yeah but those bands were much more straight hardcore
which is what the proverbial kids are into innit? good chunk of the people there couldn't possibly have been around for the first album.
i like the new stuff, it's a bit more atmospheric and a bit less skramz. in the nervous light was amazing though, urite.
Possibly my favourite gig this year
people shouting the lyrics back to the band during the 'In The Nervous Light Of Sunday' was one of the greatest things I've seen. Code Orange Kids were good too, reminded me a little of early Kylesa.
It was strange to see so many people leaving early, I'm not quite sure what they expected CTTS to sound like.
to be fair it was a really long time between albums
can't expect everyone to still care, especially about the new stuff. think a lot of people there were box-ticking.
oh for sure
I actually only started listening to Decompositions because of the gig, but then again they don't have that much material overall so I figured people would stay to hear them play some of the music from As The Roots Undo.
There were quite a few fairly young looking folks there too so I did wonder how many of them were actually familiar with the band.
it was the same in Manchester
a few people left
loved the show, disappointed at the lack of Same Shade but oh well. Loved every support act. Not sure of the first bands name, Estoric Youth? Strange little way in which audience members just became a vocalist for a bit
Code Orange Kids were great, Full of Hell were brutal
they didn't play it in mancs?!
that sucks
nahh :(
they also had a weird projection just showing kathys legs
Full of Hell (who definitely aren't a straightforward hardcore band) were miles better
The noise bit at the end especially. CTTS were dull I thought. New album stuff meandered all over the place. Listenable enough on record but boring on stage.
Where do I put the new Lustmord record?
In this thread. It's mental, hypnotic vocal sub bass churning. I love it.
been playing this a lot this week
I do love it too.
Godzilla Black have a new album out 30th September
It's called 'The Great Terror'.
New single featuring Dale Crover (Melvins) available now for free download:
First album still available for free here:
DiS review of first album:
Just been sent a link to The Body's new album
Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
just been listening to these guys a bit on spotify...
badass indeed...first bit of heavy that's grabbed me for a while...
caspar brotzmann put out a new record under the name nohome
fair enough, he probably stands in front of a full length mirror, wearing leather pants & staring into his own eyes. i wont deny it. but he makes really good noises.
it's got one of the chaps from einsturzende neubauten playing a big spring on it. the drumming is mental.
brotzmann is a badass
will check this out shortly
just saw a live clip on youtube
this is mesmerizing!!! Brotzmann is a beast of a man

Been enjoying Wilson quite a bit
Stupid, party rock 'n roll - think Every Time I Die and Turbonegro forming a supergroup and all they did was drink beer and had fuck off great parties and stuff. College Gangbang is the best song.
The Okkyung Lee LP on Ideologic Organ is truly terrifying
I'm pretty sure she's murdering the instrument at certain points. Cellos aren't meant to sound like that. It's still oddly beguiling and soothing. For some reason.
Also really enjoying the Chris Corsnao and Bill Orcutt hookup. Splatterblues.
that Corsano/Orcutt record
was sounding very good indeed last night.
like, first lesson was so far, so chaotic, but when you find your way into it and get used to the crazy internal logic, that's when the magic starts to reveal itself.
this band don't have a name but make truly incredible post-black metal
along similar lines to Bosse-De-Nage, Young and In The Way, Celeste etc
dunno if this has been posted yet...
but the new Corrections House (feat. Scott Kelly (Neurosis) & Mike WIlliams (Eye hategod))track is great. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15837-corrections-house-serve-or-survive/
apparenty they're going fast
lots of skramzy stuff.
Kayo Dot - Hubardo
Album of the year, calling it.
new gorguts
new ulcerate
That new Gorguts stuff
Never heard them before, but HOLY SHIT.
The new Kayo Dot stuff is also ridiculously good.
oh nice
Just giving the new Church of Misery a spin
More of the same really. Which is brilliant.
NILE playing london on the 10th!!
but their recent album
was soooooo shit.
If they did a Black Seeds of Vengeance album show....I'd go.
i liked it :3
but yea. Anyway they'll play some of the hits i'm sure
finally checked these out as i've seen them TIPPED FOR BIG THINGS a few times in the past week or two
but christ, it sounds like a really shit combination of mudvayne and meshuggah.
thats my kind of music.
these sound nowt like that though.
fair enough, I found it quite amusing in places
calling out fake hardcore bands isn't it?

Kayo Dot
incredible stuff (avoid the first track)
this new Depravation album
'II: Maledictvm' is pretty rad - all harsh screamy hardcore black metal. Bit like that Finnish Haapoja band I posted back up thread, but darker and German.
Wrath is really fierce. There's a high pitched scream in Malfunction that is totally sick. good stuff.
the new Raspberry Bulbs album sounds canny good
Blackened garage punk? feat the bloke from Bone Awl on Blackest Ever Black
Anyone know when The Body's new album is out?
I'm shit at finding out information on the internet.
fall 2013...
according to thrill jockey...master we perish ep is solid...
It really is - looking forward to the album rather a lot.
October 14th, to be precise
It's rather good (showing off)
Has anyone heard the Satyricon s/t album yet?
The centrepiece - Phoenix. Unbelievable, in different ways, whichever way you take it. Some people might even take it personally. I hope they open their gigs with it.
The rest of the album sounds like Volcano stuff. Not quite as good (that's an 8/10 album for me) A lot of the riffs are recognisable relations to tracks off that album.
But Phoenix. woah.
The Dead C's new record slays
As usual. In case you were wondering. Which if you had any sense, you wouldn't have been
A Page Of Punk - Fools Punk Line LP, 49 songs
anyone else heard the new skullflower reissues?
some pretty good stuff there
Not yet, need money
They were great in Leeds on Wednesday though. Literally walked into Matt Bower just after they played and unfortunately the ability to say anything that wouldn't make me sound like an idiot deserted me.
What do we think of the new Norma Jean record then?
On the third play and i like it more and more
This intrigues me, as I only really know Bless The Martyr...
And only really liked Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste.
Listening now. First track reminds me of old DSHS a bit. Bit ETID. Dunno. Will definitely give the whole album a listen.
napalm death and children of bodom next month
got a soft spot for bodom
I saw CoB so many times during my teens
Used to go mad for all that noodly Scandinavian stuff. :D
new The Body track

New Arnocorps EP is the fucking boss.
songs about Conan, Red Sonja, Hercules, and being strong on mountains.

JAG for grind/noisecore/techno etc free gig at the Unicorn tomorrow:
Were back! Since the overwhelming success of our first issue released back in April, we are pulsing with adrenaline in the run up leading to the launch of Issue#2 on 27th September. We decided to celebrate once more with a launch party at The Unicorn in Camden, London, UK, and what a fucking line up we have for you!
? https://www.facebook.com/tribazik
Sounding somewhere in between Chris Liberator, Deftones and Killing Joke, London based free party crossover live band TRIBAZIK have been kicking up a storm on various underground subcultures for their fusion of rock, metal, and electronic dance music. Their latest single "Spacetime Collapse" was remixed on wax by acid techno warrior, Chris Liberator aswell as none other than the grandfather of breakcore, Venetian Snares. We are absolutely ecstatic to have them headlining this show!
? https://www.facebook.com/petrolbastard?directed_target_id=0
We got them in the bag! Leeds based industrial / techno-punk are back again to rape your senses and lick your soul. Recently signed to Armalyte Industries, they are working on new material for their brand new record. Never heard them? Think The Prodigy meets GG Allin! Never seen them? Now's your fucking chance!
? https://www.facebook.com/RIPSanity
Featuring on the cover CD of Decompression Issue#2, we thought it would only be right to have them play live for you all too! Savage thrash / death metal with hardcore punk vocal influence. In their own words; "Nothing is infinite, only constant. Everything ends."
? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spastic-B-U-R-N-Victim/126865940690467?fref=ts
Featuring members of Skat Injector and Cementimental. Recently releasing thier debut EP "Carehome Inferno" on Hirntrust Grind Media, we welcome the bastards of noise grindcore to blast their un-PC vomit ridden cacophony all over The Unicorn.

"Sound Beyond Borders, Music Without Rules"
from Bridgend. quite a lot going on with this one so it's hard to pin down, a couple of them used to be in Hondo Maclean but you wouldn't really be able to tell... dirty riffs, keeps you guessing what's coming next, has a didgeridoo and a viola on it too apparently.
Right, that's it

Has there been any love for the new Dead In The Dirt album here?
It's up there in the top 3 albums of the year. Dirty, sludgey hardcore on Southern Lord
Mothertrucker - The Power of Independent Trucking
Yea....I'm in the band so apologies for the plug but our new lp is out today......you can listen here: http://mothertrucker.bandcamp.com.
After ten years of powerful psychedelic riffcraft, the instrumental juggernaut that is Mothertrucker have finally crafted their magnum opus: "The Power of Independent Trucking". Combining the hard riffing of Sabbath and Kyuss, the quiet menace of Slint and Mogwai and the wild freak-outs of Earthless, The Power of Independent Trucking is a 6 track, 30 minute hellride into the heart of sweet oblivion. Thick dirty distortion, menacing atmospherics, head nodding tempo changes, rewarding climaxes...this release has it all!!
Over the course of their existence, Mothertrucker have shared the stage with
the likes of Boris, Mono, Baroness, Jesu, Grails, Red Sparowes, Aereogramme and Truckfighters and kicked off their tenth anniversary year with a devastating performance at the 2012 Supersonic Festival. This album marks the dawn of a glorious new chapter for the band who are hungry to spread their love of the riff far and wide and add to this illustrious list of comrades in rock.
Once you have found yourself trapped in the headlights of the Mothertrucker, you can but only lay back, stretch your sack & make peace with your maker.
Have a listen to it at:
http://mothertrucker.bandcamp.com where you can also download or order a vinyl copy.
It's also available from Richie Speedowax's store 'Ignite Records' in brum, and his webstore; http://tinyurl.com/oeu33lp
Also available from field records both digitally and on vinyl; http://www.field-records.com/store/
If nothing else have a listen......I hope you enjoy it

Melt-Banana's new album is out today.
It's absolutely amazing. They might have never had an album so detailed and cohesive. And silly. And fun.
I had no idea they were still a thing, never mind had a new album in the works. I'll have to listen to this later.
I saw Ufomammut last night.
They were amazing. Definitely the heaviest and probably the best thing I've seen all year.
Going to see 'em tonight

Raime go noiserock. This is brutal.benfyffemusic and GoatmeatMF this'd this
That woke me up! Need to get onto buying this.
been listening to this all week
reminds me of Khanate - the space in the guitars. although it's a whole world less bleak.
First time I heard it was with my local record shop owners
Asked if we could put it on. all of us instantly initially shocked that it was Raime but then all agreed that it still has the Raime-ness about it. It's the use of space and silence, such a tense sounding track. You can feel every sinew of it.
Have a video for Oktave Dokkter by Hey Colossus.
Off 'Cuckoo Live Life Like Cuckoo'
Just getting into listening to a few metal albums of 2013
.. and found this one:
'Sahg - Delusions of Grandeur' and I like it!
Clear vocals and great guitars. Mastodon - ish I think.
(not being the greatest expert in the genre!)
Not how I'd have described them admittedly but see what you mean
Why are you listening to that out of interest? It's not been particularly hyped anywhere has it?
I' subscribing to a 'new releases - metal, rock' playlist on Spotify
... I just started listening to it for first time in months, so going backward. Sagh's album must have just come out. :)
Here's the list if interested:
Fair enough
Tbh the playlist looks awful from the top 30 tracks on it.
As I'm listening along, I came across another band ..
Breakdown of Sanity - Perception
I haven't listened to something with so much punch for a while, brilliant.
Spotify link for the last two albums
and for a laugh .. what these guys were thinking of?
Strangely appealing in a weird way .. Did I say that? I need to stop listening to that metal playlist right now.
New Body/Head LP is ace
Kim Gordon and Bill Nace's new band just released a killer LP. Easily the best post-SY project. Noisey soundscapes which are reminiscent of the Dead C.
Also the recent Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke/Oren Ambarchi LP
is awesome, jazz infused demented noise rock. 3rd great LP by these guys, this one is perhaps a little more mellow than last years Imikuzushi but still contains some pretty heavy numbers.
imikuzushi and nazoranai were great
eagerly awaiting delivery
Y'see this is going to be one of those records that I know I'll like but won't pick up until some point next year
But thanks for the heads up, it does sound good.
i really like it too.
Did you catch them on their recent tour Phil? Hear some great Dead C parallels. Nace is an amazing guitarist.
new Sea Bastard album
Excellent Brighton doom band just finished recording their new album and it's already online. No pissing about with months of mixing and mastering, that's what I like to see.
heavy, fuzzy, screamy stuff.brainfeedr this'd this
I'm playing in Leytonstone this thurs!
RITUALREDEMPTION - Glitchy alterna-pop and fuzzed out electronica. This is the good stuff!
CEMENTIMENTAL X ANZHEL HUTOPIA - Live collaborative explosions from power electronics pedal abuser Cementimental and omni-experimentalist Anzhel Hutopia.
GUNCLEANER - Abstract weirdo-electronica noises. "The house band at the techno club in Silent Hill"
SELF DEFEATING SOUND WAVES - A lighthouse in a sea of undulating tones. The beacon in the dark noise-spaces between worlds.
MUD AXIS - Dadaist neo-folk performance art. Special mystery exposé! One night only! Not to be missed!

Cross Country runners get off to solid start
Boys place third at Cozad Invitational.
COZAD—Starting the cross country season at the Cozad Invite has its pluses and minuses for Gothenburg runners.
The meet is always a good one for establishing a baseline, said coach Steve Reeves.
"It gives you official times to work with," he said.
The meet is also tough, though, because it pits small Class B schools such as Gothenburg against large Class A opponents."When you're competing against Class A schools, you're not running against any weak sisters," Reeves said.
The Gothenburg boys finished third on Thursday behind North Platte and Kearney while the girls came in eighth as a team behind winner McCook and runner-up Kearney.
"We knew it would be tough," Reeves said of the boys competition. "North Platte has some solid distance runners. We saw that during track season last spring."
The Swedes held their own, though, placing three in the top 15 to earn medals.
Senior Andrew Collins finished seventh and junior Luke Rehmert was close behind in eighth. Sophomore Brett Dockweiler came in 10th.
"To get three boys in the top 10 is as good as we have done at this meet since 1985," Reeves said. "It should serve as a good confidence builder for them."
Work for the boys, the coach said, comes in getting the fourth, fifth and sixth runners on the team closer to the top.
North Platte finished with two medalists and Kearney had four.
Brady McGuire of North Platte was the champion in the boys race with a time of 15:37.5.
On the girls side, Swede senior Tabitha Paul was just shy of earning a medal finishing in 16th place.
"Tabitha ran a solid race for the first meet," Reeves said. "We didn't finish as well as a team as I would have liked or as the girls would have liked but we're going to improve."
McCook won the girls title with four medalists and a narrow two-point advantage over Kearney.
Ashley Ogborn of North Platte was the girls champion in a time of 15:35.9.
Running against strong competition only makes a cross country team better, Reeves said.
"Hopefully it will help prepare us for the end of the season," he said.
The team will travel to Broken Bow on Saturday. Reeves said the large meet includes schools from a variety of classes and areas, including many of the conference schools.
"Every meet helps us learn what the competition has, what we've got and where we need to go," Reeves said.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at the Broken Bow Country Club.
