Hey dudes and ladies, sorry I haven't been posting much this month. I've been travelingeven more than usual, and haven't had much time to sit down and write down much of anything besides flight confirmation numbers and directions to wherever I happen to be sleeping any given evening.

More festival news to make you jealous! This time it's about Roadburn, which we've salivated over like most men do over Christina Hendricks. If you thought they couldn't rival last year...well, they did. Trust us.Godflesh are playing Streetcleaner in its entirety. Swans are headlining one night. Candlemass will perform their classic debut Epicus Doomicus Metallicus as a whole, featuring original

Bloody battles were imagined, in which one race virtually exterminated another and populated the country anew.

Corrupted, Ludicra. Asunder Slim's, SF, 10.31.08 Lots of good metal going on this All Hallow's Eve. Japanese doom legends Corrupted kick off a short US West tour ( dates ) with Bay Area doomsters Asunder tonight at Slim's in San Francisco. Corrupted haven't been to the US in 11 years, so this is a big deal. Making it bigger is the addition of Ludicra - my favorite metal band - doing their annual Halloween hometown gig. [...]
This month we talk to French legends Gojira, French Canadian Alien8 group Menace Ruine, ambient black metal duo Empire Auriga, and the whiskey-soaked black/war metal quartet Bahimiron. read more

Their full-length debut, Cult of Ruins ( Alien8 , 2008), proffers a vision of hell that isn't dark and foreboding like its grayscale artwork. Nor is it red and orange like the Christian Crayola invention. Instead, it's a blinding flash of light. The full color spectrum sears the record like a soldering iron to the ass. "Process of Bestialization" recalls the glory days of [...]
