How's deafkids?

 

looks like I'm driving to Salt Lake

 

no Texas dates? c'mon!

 

Damn, these are intimate venues

 

Neurosis sold out Thalia Hall the last two times they played there so I'm surprised they didn't go a bit bigger in Chicago on this run.

 

They're a weird Brazilian band on Neurosis's record label:

I'm not even going to attempt to make a direct comparison because they're a weird amalgamation of noise rock, math rock, punk, hardcore, and sludge. They have a new album coming out later this month.

 

New Earth song. Repetitive and droney - just what I expect from them. Good stuff.

 

Another new Inter Arma song. This one's a 12 minute long-one called The Atavist's Meridian. Listening to it now, and it's definitely a slow burner.

 

The new Herod album is heavy as fuck.

 

I want to see them with Thantifaxath. Forward thinking metal wombo combo.

 

i want to see thantifaxath so badly...i missed my chance to see them at mdf last year because i was stuck in one venue watching grindcore while they were performing other in the other venue. we were stuck because of a massive rainstorm outside. :/ someday it'll happen.

 

Going to this tonight. I kind of want to get there early to check out Fists of Fury since it's their first show but then it's another 2.5 hours before Creeping Death plays. Anyone familiar with any of the other support bands?

 

Vatican is early 00s metalcore worship

 

Man beats Burzum's Vikernes in Jeep race, wins Vikernes' only copy of debut CD, sells CD for $1500

In today's metal news.

 

Gonna start the Lords Of Chaos book next week. Super pumped.

 

Slow day!

 

it made me chortle. *shrug*

 

Hey, at least you didn’t shart!

 

I would highly recommend Dayal Patterson's Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult for a really in-depth look into the genre. Tons of photos, tons of interviews. Very insightful.

 

The new Misery Index and Sinmara are really, really damn good.

 

In today's listening slate:

(Yes, I already know I posted about these two, but they collectively might be my favorite releases of the year so far so I'm reupping them because I think they're that good. On the first couple listens, this might be my favorite Misery Index release since Traitors, which is probably a top 25 release of all time for me. Sinmara just does it for me, and I can't explain it).

(Gonna be listening to this one on a recommendation of a buddy of mine - seems like it should be good considering the band is made up of current and ex-members of Beyond Creation, Inferi, The Faceless, and Chthe-ilist)

(Debut release from a death metal band on Dark Descent. All I need to know to want to give this a listen)

(Figured I should see what the hype is about this considering all the praise I've heard about it on the blogosphere)
