by BBG Picastro Yosh , the pint-sized terror that leads Bloody Panda , will headline a bill of shadowy and haunting beauty at Saint Vitus on March 15th with fragile post-rock from Picastro and the delicate and haunting Sondra Sun-Odeon (who recently impressed while supporting Religious to Damn ). Tickets are on sale for [...]
Cynic's Carbon-Based Anatomy EP highlights this week's release slate, while White Wizzard, Blut Aus Nord, Bloody Panda, Coliseum and more are also releasing new albums. Let's take a look after the jump. Bloody Panda – Summon: Invocation (self-released) Epic doom crew Bloody Panda are self-releasing an album of remixes to their 2009 album Summon. It's [...]
What do Portal and Bloody Panda have in common? Well, on the most surface level, members of Portal wear executioners masks on stage, and members of Bloody Pan used to wear executioners masks on stage. On a somewhat deeper level, though, is the fact that they're definitely both of the "love 'em or hate 'em variety." I [...]
by BBG Portal at Knitting Factory ( more by Samantha Marble ) Continuing our ongoing Bloody Panda remix series (we interviewed both Sanford Parker and Matmos ), we sat down with the veiled madman behind Portal , Horror Illogium, to ask him a few questions about his contribution to Summon: Invocation . The results and the song stream, which appears here for the first time, are below. [...]
by BBG DOWNLOAD: Bloody Panda - "Gold" Matmos Remix (MP3) Bloody Panda 2011 The idea of a remix album for a metal band is an odd one, but Bloody Panda is anything but conventional. So when the topic was broached about remixing their 2009 LP Summon , the NYC Doom band put out the call to a litany of great contributors including Matmos , Sanford Parker [...]
So I don't think there's any way I can make an argument for this video as being what you might call "relevant," but I saw it on Metal Injection awhile back and, well, I feel the need to support the minority race whose females are most likely to sleep with a Jewish dude like me. [...]
Kudos to Fred/BBG for opening last Friday's doom extravaganza at the Cake Shop with something a bit different. Providence, R.I.'sTinsel Teeth played chaotic noise rock with just enough of a rhythm backbone to root the mayhem in something solid. Let's be honest though, it's hard to focus on the music when a bare-breasted heathen, wearing a strap-on and covered in paint and blood, is growling,
by ill? ya! (NYC) Highest on my list this week are the two Monarch!/Bloody Panda shows. Monarch! - from France - play dark, ritualistic funeral doom. Bloody Panda are similar in style, but throw in an unsettling layer of chanting/shrieking in Japanese, courtesy of Yoshiko Ohara, sometimes also backed by throat singing. Their shows come close to a religious experience - don't miss it! Saturday
by theseseans (NYC) PortalWhen: Wednesday, May 26, 2010Where: The Knitting Factory, BrooklynWith: Krallice, Bloody Panda, Gorguts Bloody Panda opened Adam Shore's latest Blackened Music installment and curiously, they did so without their usual executioner's masks. Bloody Panda were an excellent choice to open this show: Portal may have been coming up, but Bloody Panda got the audience
by Graham "Gruhamed" Hartmann For a while now, Australian spectral doom band PORTAL has been seeing some serious underground support. Mostly through online metal forums and youtube, the band has developed an almost cult following of experimental metal enthusiasts. It's beyond difficult for an Australian act, especially an extreme metal act to make it over to ...
Footage from last night's show courtesy unARTigNYC Before Portal took the stage at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn last night, some variation of the same phrase was on pretty much everyone's lips: The singer had better be wearing a clock on his head. I heard at least one person threaten to riot if the performane was [...]
Tonight Vince and I are hitting up one of those nifty pre-MDF shows, this one with Gorguts (YES!), Krallice (YES!!), Portal (YES!!!), and Bloody Panda (whatever). And as stoked as I am to see Gorguts and Krallice, for me, personally, the expected highlight is Portal. Listening to Swarth for the first time is still one [...]

Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2010 BLOODY PANDA @ KNITTING FACTORY 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 $14, 7PM There are a few bands where the name pretty much says it all, and with a name like Bloody Panda , do you even have to ask? In case you do, the band photo (to the left) should answer any doubt about how awesome this band is. Violent Soho @ Mercury Lounge Steel Phantoms @ Brooklyn Bowl Holly Miranda, Class Actress, & [...]
by theseseans (NYC)I'm currently vacationing in Missouri, which is awesome, but equally awesome is that Trash Talk are playing NYC tonight (for free!!) with my current favorite local band: Psychic Limb. Every time I've seen Trash Talk (and every Trash Talk show I've heard about in passing) has been an out right riot. It should be fun to see a headliner match the intensity of Psychic Limb (for all
Not Krallice. I don't want you to be confused, because I start this blog by talking about Krallice. Krallice live is truly something to behold. After checking them out at the inaugural Scion Fest last year, Vince wrote the following about them: Krallice's intense psychedelic black metal had me captivated with every turn after twisted turn [...]
Yes In My Backyard is a semiweekly column showcasing MP3s from new and emerging local talent. New York's Bloody Panda are downright scientific with their avant-gloom. Second album Summon (Profo... Continue reading "Yes In My Backyard: Download Bloody Panda's "Pusher"" >
I've heard a lot of smart people with opinions I respect sing the praises of Bloody Panda, and I just do not get it. I saw them live once and they bored me to tears - and that was while I was high. Do you know how bad you have to be to bore me [...]
New York experimental/ritualistic doom crew Bloody Panda are one of those groups who sound great on record, but emerge a different monster entirely when you see them live. Everyone in the group minus vocalist (and visual artist) Yoshiko Ohara wear black executioner hoods, immediately transforming some of the nicest guys in the world into bleak funeral doom henchmen. (Ohara's contribution to "The Beacon" from Ocean's Pantheon Of The Lesser is something else worth checking out live/on record.) The group's new collection Summon , the first for Profound Lore, was recorded gorgeously with thick, dank atmospherics by Jason [...]
It was only 233 years ago that the church bells first rang out over these great United States to signal our newly-earned independence. To be honest, I do not know what the holiday has in common with rock 'n roll's bastard son, doom metal. However, it's undeniable tha today just happens to be a great day to listen to some slow-burning headbanding epics while you sip your beer, and some of the finest names in underground doom are offering up new MP3s to guarantee you get your dosage of doom amongst the happiness & excitement of the 4th.
