Talk about a first world problems: there are too many awesome tours coming down the line in the next few months! Too many great bands to see! Too many excuses to leave the house even though I'm high and it's freezing out side! THERE'S TOO MUCH FUN TO BE HAD! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! The latest "Holy crap [...]
Of all the bands to do a performance on TV, the last one I would think that would be asked to do so are my good friends, Brooklyn doom masters Hull. The band were recently asked to perform on Cake Boss spin off show, The Next Great Baker which airs on TLC. The metal-themed episode ...

![Ferriswheel & Rolf Klausener @ Le Temporaire [December 8, 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3919229_lg.jpg)
Went to a show down in Hull on December 8, 2011. Fearing of getting lost I actually found Le Temporaire. It is a really nice venue/artspace. This was a record release show for Ferriswheel . They released their album Un Peu au Nord et Sans Distorsion . Ferriswheel doesn't get to play live alot due to the some of member's busy schedule with their other bands. The set [...]
FEATURING MEMBERS OF MELVINS, RED FANG, JUNIUS, EXHUMED, RWAKE, ORPHANED LAND, HULL, EARTH, AND KILL THE CLIENT Every year year, MetalSucks asks musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in a few cases, the almost-metalsphere) what their favorite albums of the year have been. Death metallers, thrash metallers, black metallers, stoners, grinders, and djenters alike [...]
A perfect example of an album that's greater than the sum of its parts, Beyond the Lightless Sky by Hull is a musical saga loosely based on the adventures of the Mayan Hero Twins . Hull's second effort showcases the contrast between light and dark, as if to call attention to one of the central pillars of Mayan belief: duality. A concept album like this, with the artist's intention so obviously laid out for the listener beforehand, is a tricky thing. Knowledge of a storyline can allow for a new level of intellectual engagement, but [...]

Alright, alright, so The Waffbags is a pretty horrendous name for an act. It doesn't roll off the tongue particularly elegantly, quite a contrast to the music in fact. If you're not a fan of slightly cheesy, Scott Walker inspired 602s ballads then The Waffbags are probably not for you. However, if like myself, you love charming sonnets and a sultry drawl that sounds as if it should belong in an American dinner, then you're gonna lap this up. Picture this. A near desolate cinema, a 19602s classic romantic film flickers despairingly [...]
Photo by Jason Frank Rothenberg THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Battles w/ Nisennenmondai Friday, October 28 The Masquerade - 695 North Avenue in Atlanta 30306 Admission $18 / Purchase Tickets I can't think of a more innovative rock band to emerge in the last decade than New York-based, Battles . I put the emphasis on rock because for all their experimentation and rhythmic ingenuity, the never strays too far from the traditional rock template. At [...]

Next week, some 900 bands will rain down upon New York City at the 2011 edition of CMJ Music Marathon . Here's the dilemma: You can't see 900 bands. You might see 100, but despite all the cab fares and hours of sleep you'll waste away, you won't see it all. That's okay, you'll still catch plenty of talent. Even if your plane lands late (it's inevitable), or your trip from JFK to Manhattan ends up being one long, monotonous slog, chances are you'll still have plenty of tales from The Cake Shop or The Bowery to [...]
We have a decent amount of new stuff this week, including quality releases from Skeletonwitch, Black Cobra, Hull, Fuck The Facts and more. This writer's opinion on all of it after the jump. 3 – The Ghost You Gave To Me (Metal Blade) 3 are an odd band to be on Metal Blade. They play [...]

Brooklyn's finest metal band, Hull, has a new album entitled Beyond The Lightless Sky and it's streaming for free on AOL. Link: Hull Beyond The Lightless Sky
At least here in New York, we are now experiencing full-on the-sun-never-comes-out-and-it 's-cold-as-fuck weather - y'know, in case we somehow failed to realize that it's October. Luckily, we have two terrific records with uplifting, happy-go-lucky titles to stream this morning, so that should perk you right the fuck up. Cold Winds on Timless Days, the sophomore [...]
