g.a.n.g. - "incantations" (download) An early 802s Italo disco "cover" of Mike Oldfield 's "Foreign Affair ." Much more upbeat and a bit more dance-able. I've already sampled the hell out of it.
This is the final Haunting The Chapel. In case you missed my earlier tweet , I accepted a position at Pitchfork, where I'll be returning as an Editor on Monday, 8/1. "Returning," because I worked there as a Contributing Writer from 2003 to 2008, writing 200+ reviews and then launching the site's metal column Show No Mercy in 2006. To answer what a number of folks have been asking: Yes, Show No Mercy will be back, made better with some things I learned while working on Haunting The Chapel. Since starting Haunting The Chapel at Stereogum [...]
If you missed 20092s The Vault of Membros demo or this year's Winterwolf split or The Manifestation 73, take note: Clifton, NJ's Disma is a suffocatingly down-tuned quintet led by legendary ex-Incantation (and Evoken, etc.) growler Craig Pillard. That's likely enough to get you listening, but his insanely heavy, guttural lows are complimented by a perfectly fuzzed, cavernous, atmospherically deep wall of old-school death-metal doom 'n' crust powered by guitarist Daryl Kahan (Funebrarum, Abazagorath, Citizens Arrest, Assück), guitarist Bill Venner (early Incantation), bassist Randi Stokes (ex-Methadrone), and drummer Shawn Eldridge (Funebrarum). The pace is glacial, even [...]
. . . Incantation are one of death metal's elite bands. After a genre-defining debut album in Onward to Golgotha , they've continued to put out compelling albums for almost two decades. While many of their peers from the late '80s have fallen off creatively or strayed into questionable territory, Incantation have kept to their murky, darkly melodic style. John McEntee founded the band with Paul Ledney in 1989, and has been its main creative force since then. In this interview, we delve into his creative process and what has kept Incantation so consistent [...]
by Cosmo Lee There's much to love about this month's Decibel (#52, Darkthrone cover). First, our own Jess Blumensheid is the Reader of the Month. Her excellent invisible orange form alone is worth the price of admission. But there's more: features on Mournful Congregation and Outlaw Order, 66 album reviews (I love it when that happens), and a heartwarming cover story on Darkthrone. Yes, heartwarming. Regardless of one's opinion of their music - I love [...]
