Allah says that when the Trumpet is blown for the Resurrection, and the people rise from their graves,there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask about one another, meaning that lineage will be of no avail on that Day, and a father will not ask about his son or care about him. And no friend will ask a friend about his condition, though they shall be made to see one another, meaning no relative will ask about another relative, even if he can see him and even [...]

Sorry for the delay, things have been KARAZY! Indie hip-hop hardcore and metal about in this weeks episode of the dogcast!

DOWNLOAD: Black Cobra - "Negative Reversal" (MP3) Sludge-metal band Black Cobra released their third full-length CD, Chronomega , at the end of September and this release marks the band's Southern Lord debut. As a two-piece band, guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian and drummer Rafael Martinez make a hell of a lot of noise and producer Billy Anderson (High on Fire, The Melvins, Sleep) gives the band a heavy, brutal sound. Black Cobra's sound fits well with some of the past and current California-based metal bands as they combine [...]

For many, Pelican have much to answer for. Their career thus far has been haphazard. For every great doom-laden slab like the self-titled EP or Australasia , there are messy, wankish post-rock releases like City of Echoes and the Pink Mammoth EP. A label switch to Southern Lord didn't raise hopes for a change in direction. Perhaps the threat of excellent albums released by instru-metal peers Russian Circles (reviewed here ) and Red Sparowes lit a fire under Pelican's collective ass, because What We All Come to [...]

by Van Damned (ATX)I'll keep this short and sweet: basically, we got a nice three-day lineup to transition into November, which could end up going down as THE single best month for metal this town has seen in a whole minute. Stay tuned. This weekend though, we got some classic industrial metal, some classic deranged, psychedelic alt-rock and some classic instrumental post-metal. Plus, time falls

Pelican has officially broken the mold on this album. "What We All Come To Need" is an exploration of sound and a definition of no one standing above the other. The playing is super tight and spacey, bringing back the sound that Thrill Jockey bands brought in the 90's. You know, back when being instrumental wasn't hip but an exploration of sound and composition. "Ephemeral" starts like a score to a Robert Rodriguez film about hunting the dead. It brings sense of urgency and taste of post metal that is to be bitten in to, by the [...]

[Ben Harper turns 40 today. He'll be one of the folks doing the big "Hullabaloo" fundraiser for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music at Union Station on Halloween night, by the way ...] Should be a nice night to bring a sweater a settle in for some music under the stars — Regina Spektor , who's been touring behind her acclaimed album "Far," working on music for a Broadway-bound musical "Beauty" and making "The Calculation" on "Saturday Night Live," visits the Greek Theatre. Jupiter One [...]

philosophically i hate the genre enthusiast. generally a bunchof taste nazis. see metal is what i grew up on, up with and (scene-wise) away from. reason being, as a pup, the willful cuntishness of yr reactionary fan on the street sometimes made me wish i'd never borrowed number of the beast or paranoid or master of puppets. the ficklest of the fickle; any hint of progression from a band slapped down as a move away from their metal roots towards big gay pop. exclamation mark. course it's all changed hasn't [...]

While Yo La Tengo is taking the year off from their regular run of Hannukah shows, New Yorkers will still be able to celebrate the holiday with music as Matisyahu has announced the details for his fourth annual Festival Of Lights. The eight-show run, which will be split between Webster Hall and the Music Hall Of Williamsburg, will feature a diverse roster of opening acts which this year includes John Brown's Body , Brothers Past , Kid Koala and a rare appearance from RANA . Tickets for the entire run are [...]
Pelican's 2007 album, City of Echoes, was maligned by some upon its release, perhaps because of its penchant for shorter songs and Fugazian guitar interplay after the majesty of 2005's The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw, an album full of epic-length tracks and panoramic sludge/doom riffs. The problem with this train of [...]

On paper, Washington's Black Breath is not the sort of band one typically associates with Southern Lord. Dronesmiths Sunn O))), doomy stoners Eagle Twin, instrumental rockers Pelican, and black metalheads Wolves In The Throne Room all coexist comfortably together on the Californian label. Yet Black Breath's hybrid of gutter-level punk and classic thrash [...]
by Andrew Wilhelm (Denver)PelicanWhen: Tuesday, October 22, 2009Where: Marquis Theater, Denver, COWith: Black Cobra, Sweet CobraAnimalistic. That's perhaps the best word for Tuesday night's bill of Pelican, Black Cobra, and Sweet Cobra at the Marquis Theater in Denver. Metal shows are quite zoo-esque anyway: crazed animals out for blood in captivity. The fact that there were two bands with "Cobra
by beatmasterspeech (LA)Hey Angelenos! How about that Ancestors record release show where the cops shut it down before Black Math Horseman or Ancestors even had a chance to strum a note? That was cool! I love the police! Well this week we have two shows at official venues that either have a permit to put on shows or have paid off the necessary pigs to leave 'em alone. Stop one should be this
