More Music For Your Babies To Headbang To…

Nov 10, 2008, 4:10pm The Daily Rind

We're just in that sort of mood today. So how about a metal round up? Last week, Thursday and Envy unleashed a weighty split on Temporary Residence, with Rickley and co. reminding us why Full Collapse was such a hit, and the manic-metaloids of Envy offering up three hefty love letters to dynamics and [...]

OPETH are definitely not a cock rock band

Nov 5, 2008, 1:04pm METAL Injection Blog

About a month an a half ago, OPETH came into town and were absolutely amazing. We had the pleasure of speaking with frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt and guitarist Fredrik Åkesson before the show. Maybe its just because they are Sweedish, but they came off very honest and humble and it was truly a pleasure for [...]

Opeth and High on Fire - [Live]

Oct 27, 2008, 8:44pm Ground Control

ARTIST: Opeth and High on Fire - [Live] plus free mp3s VENUE: Regency Grand Ballroom, San Francisco DATE: 10-27-08 REVIEW BY: Raymond Ahner PHOTO: Raymond Ahner To say that I was excited about this show would've been an understatement. Opeth, a band that I had missed every time that they've played San Francisco, were back, and this time they were bringing with them one of my favorite bands, High On Fire, and a band I had been curious about for a long time, [...]

NEW MEMFIS SONGS! (+ OLD ONES + LIVE VIDEO)

Oct 27, 2008, 4:44pm MetalSucks

Metal Bastard tells us that Swedish metallers Memfis have got two new tracks up on their MySpace page. I've written about Memfis in this space before, but it bears repeating because you all have thick skulls: they're an excellent metal band from Sweden (NOT melodeath/metalcore/Swedecore/ whatever) whose 2006 release The Wind Up turned more than a [...]

IN WHICH WE FINALLY SENT A SINGLE TO RADIO

If you're in the mood for a horror movie because Halloween is coming up, there's better fucking things you can rent. For fuck's sake, just watch John Carpenter's original Halloween again. [...]

Satan's Inn: Willkommen in der Hölle!

Oct 22, 2008, 6:51am »78s

Hell-o! Willkommen zur neuen Hard'n'Heavy-Kolumne auf 78s.ch. Um der drohenden Verweichlichung der 78s-Leserschaft entgegen zu wirken, hat die 78s-Redaktion meine Wenigkeit engagiert, um euch mit einem minimalen Wissen in Sachen Heavy Metal auszustatten. Heavy Metal macht nämlich nicht nur Spass (wann hattest du zum letzten Mal Spass beim Musik-Hören, lieber Bright Eyes-Fan?), sondern auch klug, wie Harald Schmidt schon vor eine Weile berichtete . Etwas zu klug, für meinen Geschmack. Die Verwissenschaftlichung der Diskussion um das neue Metallica-Album find [...]

OPETH'S MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT AND FREDRIK ÅKESSON: THE METALSUCKS INTERVIEW

Oct 21, 2008, 12:30pm MetalSucks

A month or so ago Opeth came to New York's Nokia Theater as part of an awesome (and diverse) package with High on Fire and Nachtmystium. It was one of those nights; a Monday or Tuesday, I was fucking exhausted from having traveled cross-country the night before, partied too many nights in a row, just [...]

Nachtmystium leave Opeth tour

Sep 22, 2008, 1:05pm crustcake

Metal Sucks is reporting that Nachtmystium have been forced to drop off the Opeth tour due to "issues beyond control." We recently discussed this tour's stop in NYC, and can say with certainty that Nachtmystium will be sorely missed for the rest of this leg. Live, they brought an intensity to their new material, without neglecting their older catalogue. Nachtmystium stated that they hope to have everything in order soon, to ensure their dates with Wolves in The Throne Room go on. Read [...]

NACHTMYSTIUM DROP OFF OPETH TOUR, ROB THOUSANDS OF METAL FANS OF AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE

Sep 22, 2008, 11:39am MetalSucks

Even the best package tours usually have at least one weak spot, band-wise; but the Opeth/High on Fire/Nachtmystium tour, which Vince and I got to check out last week, is pretty much perfect from start to finish. And one of the reasons is - or guess now I should say "was" - the presence of Nachtmystium. [...]

Crustcake Reviews: Opeth, High On Fire, Nachmystium - Irving Plaza 9/18/08

Sep 19, 2008, 2:45pm crustcake

by theseseans (NYC) Shows have been starting early lately, and when I saw that the doors at Nokia Theater were opening at 6, I made sure to get there early at 6:15. Of course the one time I get there early, the show didn't start until 7:30; a minor annoyance however, could not touch the good mood that Nachtmystium put me in when they kicked into 'One Of These Nights.' The band played the first three song of their latest album, Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1 intensely. Following those up was 'Your [...]

Do NOT miss OPETH when they come to your town

Last night, Frank and I attended the NYC stop of Opeth's headlining tour with High on Fire and Nachmystium. Unfortunately, we missed the opening two bands so we can't speak for them but everybody we spoke with said that we missed a hell of a show from both bands, and I believe it. We [...]

HOW AWESOME IS THE NEW BURST RECORD, YOU ASK?

Sep 5, 2008, 3:01pm MetalSucks

And it's a question I can't answer just yet, because I haven't heard all of Lazarus Bird, which drops September 16th on Relapse. But from the three songs I've heard on their MySpace page ("I Exterminate the I," "Cripple God" and "We Watched the Silver Rain"), I can tell you this: it is without a [...]

A novel idea: instead of posting EVERY new release, I'm just posting what I deem to be the "important" ones. As always, anything I miss is up to you. Radiohead , Coldplay , A Perfect Circle , Opeth and My Morning Jacket are putting out vinyl versions of their back catalog. Other than that, the only major highlights are the new Underoath album and the return of New Kids On the Block . :: A Perfect Circle , Mer de Noms [...]

Crustcake is very excited about September 18th, the NYC stop of will surely be one of the best US tours this fall : Opeth , Baroness , High on Fire , and Nachtmystium . Not satisfied to let any of America go without their unique take on black metal, Nachtmystium has scheduled several other U.S. dates in support of their 2008 release Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1 . After the Opeth tour, Nachtmystium will be hitting the road with Wolves in the Throne Room . Read [...]

Too close to the fire

Aug 11, 2008, 7:22am Goodnight Believer

I'm not sure what it is about Sweden, but their music scene doesn't seem to have too much in the middle ground. Either it's more-twee-than-twee pop like Jens Lekman or The Radio Dept. or it's face-melting metal like Opeth or In Flames. (OK...I realise this is a gross generalisation and where would you put a stoner-rock band like Dungen in there?) I like both ends of spectrum for completely different reasons. And the thing with both of them? You have to suspend your sense of the ridiculous for a moment. Twee pop can be so unbelievably wussy and [...]
