In case my oh-so-witty headline didn't give it away, Corrosion of Conformity are hitting the road for a U.S. headlining trek. I haven't seen the reunited CoC, but I've heard some people say they're great and some people say they're not so great... I guess this will be my chance to finally find out. Support [...]
Kenneth Thomas, in a tunnel. If you care about heavy music and still believe that art should trump commerce every time, you owe it to yourself to check out Blood, Sweat & Vinyl: DIY in the 21st Century. I've written about Kenneth Thomas's music documentary in these e-pages before. After watching the film a second [...]
Eighteen venues, four days, and a whole earful of great of music make up this year's MusicFestNW.

Having rested from their jaunt last fall, Idaho drone-doom duo Wolvserpent are going back out on the road in the next couple weeks. They'll be touring in support once again for their under-recognized but still-killer 20 Buck Spin release Blood Seed. Joining them for the tour are Seattle's A Story of Rats. Along the way, Wolvserpent will play with a great assortment of bands such as fellow
Vince and I both have framed posters from the Neurosis/Mastodon shows in Brooklyn a few years back, which means we both have the words "A Storm of Light" on our respective walls. But that's really incidental, 'cause they were one of the support acts for those shows. I'd be lying if I said I was [...]
Resident Neurosis visual artist (and ex-Red Sparowes guitarist/Battle Of Mice multi-tasker) Josh Graham & his revolving cast of players are releasing the third A Storm Of Light album next month: The rock-oriented (but still vast) As We Become The Valley of Death, Our Silver Dreams Fade follows 2009's Forgive Us Our Trespasses . (Instead of doing it on house label Neurot, he's jumped to Profound Lore.) Appropriately, the heavy, doomy, truly lighter-lifting 9-song collection includes Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil on two tracks. Graham passed along his thoughts on the collaboration: Read his words and then take a [...]

by Ryan Buege It's that time of year again! The snow has melted, birds are flying home, and soon all the trees in Minnesota will once again enter their rare period of leaf-bearing. As you're probably well aware, it's also the time of year when the nation's finest names in underground music descend to Austin, TX ...

Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land.Well, High on Fire isn't for a couple weeks, but escapism never hurt anyone.Headbangers, this weekend is fucking CRUCIAL. First off, you got Teutonic titans Kreator and Canadian legends Voivod ripping the Bottom Lounge a new one on Friday. To me, Voivod ain't Voivod widdout Piggy...but market
by Casey Boland Those familiar with A Storm of Light 's pedigree won't be surprised by Forgive Us Our Trespasses ( Neurot , 2009). Vocalist/guitarist Josh Graham's involvement with Neurosis and Red Sparowes rubbed off on his musical inclinations. As on ASOL's debut And We Wept the Black Ocean Within , the band erects massive songs of epic ambition not unlike Neurosis. In its weakest moments, the album too closely resembles that progenitor of the form. From tempestuous swells to eerie passages bathed in violins, ASOL readily adopt some of [...]

Due to the obligations of the holiday season and a general desire on the part of folks to do fuck-all, [...]
by theseseans (NYC)Last Night Nachtmystium and Marduk wrapped up the 2009 US Plague tour in NYC. Full show review to come shortly, but it was one hell (ha!) of a show. What's left then this year? Number one on my list is to finally catch Coalesce December 30th at Europa thanks to Brooklyn Vegan. A Storm Of Light and Coliseum will also be crushing/pummeling that night so get your tickets now.
The title of this post is intentionally sarcastic, so please don't get cranky or confused! Still, I think we all can agree that the traditional single has become ever rarer with the rise of digital downloads. Though still in circulation, 73 singles maintain a tenuous, uncertain existence even in the punk and hardcore [...]
