Well, hello there. Remember when we used to hang out? Right here? I would tell you about the music I liked. And you'd get me up to speed on everything going on in your life-that new job, your new love interest, or that new zany electro-twee trio from Brooklyn-in the comments section. I miss that. It's been a fantastical year for The Days of Lore , filled with all sorts of life-shaping events ... ahh hell, here it is in digestible list form: 1. I got married! Yes, married! Me! Married! To [...]
Early 2011, the world was given a taste of the forthcoming third album when one new track, "The Illusion Crawls," found its way onto Kemado's three-way split with Earthless and Lecherous Gaze. Now, finally, enter the Hemisphere of Shadows… "Ruling nations in a clever disguise / The ring of power / The all-seeing eye / Something wicked going on inside / This hemisphere of shadows," Danava
Settimana decisamente pesante a lavoro e in parte anche tra le mura domestiche. Lo 'straniero in terra straniera' venuto dalla Sicania ci ha messo il suo, anzi ha rincarato la dose proprio il primo novembre, per me lavorativo, e la mazzata finale l'ha data il due. La Bestemmia sulla torta è stato l' inatteso sold-out di Clutch e Volbeat all'Alcatraz per cui il Porco Lui ha deciso che io sono rimasto fuori senza biglietto. Epic Fail. Quindi gli ascolti sono stati molto doomy , nel feeling soprattutto, ma niente di cui valga la pena di parlare. Ci [...]
by BBG Batillus @ Acheron Batillus headlined Acheron last night , their last show of the year on their homebase of NYC and a primer for their forthcoming West Coast dates with The Atlas Moth and Kowloon Walled City . Batillus's appearance featured a new song, one of several that band has already written for their follow-up to Furnace , the band's celebrated debut with Seventh Rule . Details on that are [...]
Compared to last week anything would be considered a small release week, but this week's slate still has almost ten new records. Highlights include music from Danava and Absu, so you'll have a few new things to check out if you somehow already made it through everything from last week. Enjoy. Absu – Abzu (Candlelight) [...]

There is big money to be made in human organ trafficking. The exchange of human organs for cash or any other "valuable consideration" (such as a car or a vacation) is illegal in every country except Iran. Nonetheless, international organ trafficking—mostly of kidneys, but also of half-livers, eyes, skin and blood—is flourishing; the World Health [...]
MP3: Earthless - Demon Lady A while back I posted Danava's song from their split with Earthless and Lecherous Gaze and it ripped! Today I bring you "Demon Lady" by the aforementioned Earthless who rule quite a lot. Serious buy this split, it brings the fun back to the concept and the whole thing jams hard. Fuck yeah!
RED FANG, WEEDEATER, DANAVA, LECHEROUS GAZE, AND ZOROASTER ON SUNDAY MAR. 13TH AT THE ECHOPLEX, 1154 GLENDALE BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 7:00PM/ $14/ ALL AGES
After the last bit of touring on Unonou, my #1 record fo 2008, Danava dropped off the face of the earth. Between then and now, they had a secret lineup change and have been writing: exciting stuff. The first evidence of quality to come is "The Illusion Crawls", a new track featured on a 3 way split 12" with Earthlesss and Lecherous Gaze. It rules to say the least.
Continuing with TDoL's super-duper, metal-up-your-ass, season-in-an-abyss Fall Into Darkness preview, I give you Danava . Now, I wouldn't necessarily consider these guys metal ( neither would vocalist/guitarist/former TDoL neighbor Dusty Sparkles ) ... perhaps epic, mind-melting prog rock would be more accurate. I saw these guys play a few weeks ago, and it was LOUD ... like make-you-faint loud. It was the band's first show in about a year as Sparkles and a new crew have been holed up working on a new record. If you can see them live, do so. Just be sure to bring [...]
MP3: Danava - Where Beauty & Terror Dance #7 - Danava - Unonou Kemado Records 2008 Joey On Unonou: Solid record is metal goodness, kind of prog, all sorts of amazing. Danava was a shining star this decade, and I am grateful for them. Also maybe the best show I ever saw.
Zach Hill is the John Henry of percussion. He has been destroying the need for drum machines since he first picked up drum sticks back in 1995. CHLL PLL , one of Zach's many side projects, will be releasing their debut album: Aggresively Humble on October 20th through Porter Records . CHLL PLL is Zachary Nelson ( Hexlove ) and Zach Hill, with a guest appearance by Zachariah Dellorto Blackwell ( Danava ); CHLL PLL should change their name to: Zach Attack! I've only heard three tracks from CHLL PLL, but [...]
North Carolina's Weedeater are unflagging primal monstermen who convert weed and bourbon into simple energy and don't stop touring til at least three things burst and deflate. They are working on a new album for Southern Lord and speak now from the road. This interview by Matt Dupree.
It's been more than two months since I've written about the mysterious band that lives in my apartment complex. Well. It finally happened. I came face to face with the face of pure rock magic. Get that? If you're an avid reader of TDoL (and I know you are ... wink) you'll recall that when I moved to Portland three months ago I became mildly obsessed with a gray van that occupied a space in my complex. It would disappear for days at a time, and I only caught fleeting glances of the inhabitants as I [...]

ARTIST: Down w/ Danava - [Live] show date: 11.12.08 VENUE: House of Blues, Chicago DATE: 11-15-08 REVIEW BY: Mark Ziemke PHOTO: Mark Ziemke I won't lie, I'm a sucker for a super group. It's like the first Olympic "dream team" or like when the Traveling Wilburys got all those old dudes together for a few hits. This time it's Down, which has a list of ex-bands that range from Pantera to Corrosion of Conformity and Crowbar, [view more]
MP3: Danava - Down From A Cloud, Up From the Ground NOTE: As the year winds down and we look back at the records we've come into, it's a good time to figure out what may have been missed. This week I will take you there, and over the weekend there will be 2 bonus posts of albums you probably didn't miss, but I'll talk about why I think they rule and maybe open a dialog. Fuck yeah! Danava 's "UnonoU" came out very [...]
ARTIST: Ground Control's 2008 Half-Year Review With 50+ mp3s for download DATE: 07-07-08 WRITER: GC Editors PHOTO: GC It's hard to believe that 2008 is already half over. The longest day of the year (or the shortest, if you are reading this in the southern hemisphere) has come and gone, and it's pretty much guaranteed that Christmas decorations will start showing up in store windows any day now. <br [view more]
MP3: Danava - Down From A Cloud, Up From the Ground "UnonoU", the first official full length effort from Portland's Danava may be one of the most creative "metal" ( if that's what we're calling it ) albums made in recent memory. It's fully laced with horn parts and layered organ tracks over the group's typical 5 minute plus epic stories, making it a unique and utterly enjoyable listen. In fact, since I got this record a couple [...]
by crustcake gerf (NYC) Perusing Boing Boing earlier today as part of my daily internet travels, I was struck by a familiar image . Turns out Danava 's cover for their recently-released (and much talked about on the 'cake) UnonoU is a 1961 Syd Mead illustration. Mead, who started his career as a designer for Ford, is probably best known for his work on films such as Blade Runner and Tron , but these US Steel-commissioned illustrations [...]
