Mose Giganticus have released a video for the song "White Horse," and while I can't really tell you what the hell the video is supposed to be about, I can tell you that it has lots of pretty colors and arresting imagery and beautiful, and that it's never really boring. So it's kinda like a Jodorowsky movie, [...]

I was totally skeptical about Mose Giganticus - until I saw them live. They put on a really, really fun show. And in that regard, their new video, for "The Left Path," is a smashing success: It portrays the band gradually winning over a room of jaded hipsters, which is exactly what I saw them [...]
Mose Giganticus is an eccentric force in the heavy music world, one that - surprisingly - comes equipped with keytar. Yes ... keytar.Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mose Giganticus is Matt Garfield, a one man powerhouse, and Gift Horse, his sophomore release, is a frenetic purge of the musician's wild mind. Pulling from punk, metal, and outer space, Garfield sets the scene early on "Last
For last week's Photo Caption Contest we offered up two copies of Bison B.C.'s latest stormer Dark Ages. The lucky winners are: Bayonetwork: "Amon Afart" MeesterDerp: "This is how a real warrior makes soup." Congrats, kiddos. This week we've got two copies of Mose Giganticus' debut release Gift Horse up for grabs from the good folks at Relapse [...]
Being a metal blogger makes me some sort of music journalist, apparently, and membership in this club has its privileges. Perhaps the coolest of these is the tendency to hear new albums weeks or even months before the general public. Unlike you, I don't have to speculate on whether or not the forthcoming [...]
I like this time of year. Yeah, the weather's great; it's warm enough that you don't really have to worry about bringing a coat or hoodie out most of the time, but not so hot and sticky that you can't sleep. But I'm talking about the metal: a lot of the bigger bands are over in [...]
Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins once said in order to make a perfect song, "you have to... be able to hide what you're stealing from really well." Evidently, new Relapse Records signing Mose Giganticus haven't quite figured that out just yet, because the verse to their song "The Left Path" seems like a seriously [...]

A couple of weeks ago we told you that Relapse was slowly unveiling a new sign via The Deciblog, first by by posting some album art, then by giving away an entire mp3. Here’s what I wrote about the little scheme at the time: “…the band has to either be someone really prominent, or feature at [...]

Grrrr, my internet's been cutting in/out all day... and the only cure is a monster batch of even more 80s covers! Here are some that didn't make the first cut , mostly because they don't carry the same personal resonance as some of those earlier picks. Some I just plain forgot to include and the 80s police got mad at me. The Pigeon Detectives - The Power of Love [originally by Huey Lewis & The News] Tropical Jazz Big Band XI - [...]
The MySpace Roundup: A place for some of my new best friends and their bands to get noticed! This time around I am pleased to introduce you to Philadelphia's most bad assiest keytar-welding son of a gun Mose Giganticus , Dallas indie-MC Pikahsso and Minneapolis' answer to the age old question "can young adults gather and form under the moniker 'Mouthful of Bees' while still creating enjoyable music?" - Mouthful of Bees . In concept this [...]
