A 2008 post? Why not? You know there is still stuff you missed last year. Like why didn't anyone tell me that Krallice album rules (a post about that coming soon)? Here are, umm, 12 awesome mp3s that were not freakin' everywhere in 2008. Enjoy. Downloadables: "Dog Years" (box.net mp3) by Ghetto Cross ( 2 posts ) "Draped Up, Oxed Out" (box.net mp3) by Smart Growth ( 2 posts ) "Hands Up (The Race)" (box.net mp3) by Susu [...]
With its lo-fi production, characteristic chord structures, and violent history, black metal is one of music's most distinctive genres. It's a style whose compositional elements and stereotypical banalities almost come hand in hand; so when a band comes together who recreates the sound without the style, it can feel like a breath of fresh air. New York's Krallice is most definitely black metal sans corpse paint, but what makes the band even more unlikely is two of its members: Mick Barr and Colin Marston. Mick Barr is known for his sporadic and technical approach to metal music; it's [...]
So apparently, instead of taking the traditional route and advertising on TV, billboards, etc, Scion has decided to host music festivals instead as a means of promoting their brand. Strange? I thought so too, until I saw the lineup for their "Rock Fest." Holy mother of fuck, I don't care WHAT they're selling - any [...]

Another great year for music and another difficult one to whittle down a huge list of albums that came out and try and make a top ten , my list was in the Burroughs stage (chicken scrawl on scraps of paper) for quite some time I even make a graph (above) but as you can see i kinda got distracted one track mind and all. As with last year my list is no order apart from alphabetized Department of Eagles - In ear park Album always makes me think of a log cabin with [...]
Withered have returned to Atlanta after their tour with the almighty Watain. The band is working on new material in between playing a few more shows this year. We here at the 'cake are especially excited to catch them at Europa December 19th with Krallice and A Storm Of Light, especially after their show stealing performance with Watain. Plus (while my list isn't finalized) I think Withered's
The Gates of Slumber have announced a headlining tour across 27 U.S. cities in support of their new album, Conqueror . The classic metal/doom outfit has been recently gaining wild attention and praise in the U.S. after years of success in Europe. Thrasher's Demicious will be direct support for the tour, along with local acts throughout the tour. We are especially excited to get a second look at Krallice at Lit Lounge December 1st. Check out The Gates of Slumber's video for 'Trapped in a Web' [...]
by theseseans (NYC) Last night me and Gerf took the train across the East River to grace Manhattan with our stank presences, but mostly to take in the Black Metal Magic Tour at the Knitting Factory. It was awesome , really awesome. The show started off with Krallice , and props to them; not only did they play very well, but they had the show packed tight at 8PM sharp. Withered stole the show for me last night, bringing an urgency and vitality to their songs in a live [...]
Though black metal is typically associated with the cold and distant terrain of Scandinavia, its growing ubiquity has lead it to spring up worldwide, including an increasingly rich pocket of it stateside. Though it's been present here for some time, the last year has been incredibly fruitful for USBM, leading to some of its biggest [...]
by crustcake gerf (NYC) As if you didn't know it already, At The Gates are in New York City at this very moment . Tomas and his friends are probably bogged down in endless interviews and press-related events today... That or they're still sleeping. The melodic death metal inventors played the first of two NYC shows last night, and Blabbermouth has the setlist . The second long-soldout show is tonight, but you can still find tickets at face value on Craigslist . Oh, and Municipal [...]
