ISIS may be on permanent hiatus, but that doesn't mean they can't squeeze a few more releases out of their system. Drummer Aaron Harris has confirmed via Twitter that a new release is in the works, but made it clear it would not be a new studio album, but rather a collection of previously unreleased ...

the holidays should be about family, friends and cheer. they're also a time where we give thanks to everything and everyone that has helped us along the path of our lives. booze and gifts are nice too. this is a playlist for you, dear reader. take it with you on your road trip to grandma's house or chill with it at home with a nice bottle of brandy. cigars are optional but highly suggested. Hail Santa - a together in digital dreams holiday mixtape

It feels a little odd reviewing stuff like the Pyramids/Horseback split and the new House of Low Culture release for a site with "metal" right there in the goddamn name. They aren't "not metal" in the "they're almost more of a shoegaze band" sense, but are aggressively unconventional in terms of even basic popular music [...]

Rival Schools | Photo by Jon Boulier The sun is out and the temperature is down, but that is no reason not to go out and enjoy this weekend to the fullest. On tap this weekend are the post-hardcore sounds of Rival Schools at Schubas , the always enjoyable R&B groove of The Velcro Lewis Group at the Empty Bottle , plus a Halloween bash at Beat Kitchen featuring Magic Milk , Gabe Liebowitz from Dastardly and more. Step into the light already. [...]

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 [...]

I got really excited when Kurt Ballou said a new Old Man Gloom record is coming, then really sad when it became a joke, and then possibly excited again when teased. This is of course the band that features Converge's Nate Newton and Aaron Turner of ISIS amongst it's ranks. But, it's been months and ...

One of the things that I love most about underground metal is that so many diehard fans fulfill so many roles within the metal community. A lot of the kids that you see at the grind show are also in bands. The dude rockin' out at the front might own a distro. That girl might [...]

2011 is coming to its halfway mark already, and suffice it to say, we rock fans anticipate some heavy hitters on deck: Soundgarden and A Perfect Circle have reunited, both with respective circulating stories surrounding new material; Rammstein are finally touring their "once in a lifetime" sets for us North Americans; 3 of the "Big 43 touted Jagermeister's banner last year ; Mastodon and Liturgy are, in varying ways, experimenting with the metal medium as we know it; Disturbed and Machine Head are returning to the Mayhem Festival bill for its [...]

I was listening to an interview with Sarah Vowell last weekend, in which she proclaimed that, as a writing exercise, she did not allow herself to use any F-bombs in her new book, Unfamiliar Fishes. I decided to do her one better this week - I did not swear at all. Unless you count "crap," [...]

ISIS fans were shocked and saddened when the experimental metal band announced last year that they had "done everything [they] wanted to do, said everything [they] wanted to say," and consequently broke-up. Though ISIS never made it out into the mainstream music scene (and some might say thank god for that), they remained a successful underground group that built up a steady fanbase for over 10 years, all while drawing well-deserved critical praise. The band is known for their melodic and atmospheric song-writing, a contrast against singer/guitarist Aaron Turner's rumbling vocals, as well as their spellbinding live shows. [...]

I have a friend who swears that the basement of her workplace is haunted by a g-g-g-g-ghost... She also mentioned an affinity for reality shows about paranormal activity. So naturally I asked her if the ghost at her workplace came before she started watching said reality shows or vice versa. What do you think her [...]
