Artist: Shrinebuilder

It's mid-week and there is a ton of new music out there, so get your ears ready, cause it's time to rock! Let's start with a new Trivium track titled "Inception Of The End." I really dig this straight up heavy metal tune, and longtime Trivium fans will too. Haters will continue to hate. In ...

And here's a great way to continue continuing your morning: fan-filmed footage of Shrinebuilder performing two new songs - "Let the Hell Come" at Scion Rock Fest back in March, and "Nagas 1&2," at the recent Roadburn festival. As was the case with that Neurosis footage we posted a little earlier, one of these clips [...]

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. Cheers once again to those of you [...]

No, I'm not endorsing this American indie flick that just opened last week: Nor am I hyping this Chilean movie from a couple years ago: I do think if y'all haven't seen Super Size Me (starring Burley O), you should check it out: But c'mon people, this is a MUSIC blog........... And thus I would [...]

Powerful handshake, body littered with timeworn tattoos and with a veritable sweep of gently whitening hair, there is no mistaking the legendary guitarist/vocalist Robert Scott Weinrich aka Wino . Slumped so deep into a sofa, he seems almost past the point of no return, yet he rouses enough of himself to reflect on his recent achievements, a mere scratch on the surface of his long association with what many would pigeon-hole as doom or stoner rock. The reality, as his latest slice of acoustic nostalgia is testament to, is something that is, on the face of it, impossible to define [...]

In advance of the US release of his solo album Adrift , Wino will hit the road stateside this February on a short acoustic tour, rocking alongside longtime friend, and also Shrinebuilder bandmate, Scott Kelly (Neurosis). The tour will be in support of the upcoming split 7" between Wino and Kelly, to be released early in the year by Volcom, as well as the Adrift album. Wino/Scott Kelly February 2011 Tour: 2/05/11 Viper Room - Hollywood, CA 2/07/11 Casbah - San Diego, CA 2/08/11 Emo's - Austin, TX 2/09/11 Abbey [...]

Click on any image to enlarge | All photographs by Rich Etteridge Ducking into the Scala to escape the capital freeze is a pointless exercise tonight as, be it deliberate or not, the band room is chilled to the point where their cloakroom becomes wholly redundant. It's the perfect temperature for Wolves In The Throne Room though, who proceed to ramp up the emotion with a combination of gloom, jettisoned fog, etched bannersand a protracted candle-lighting ceremony. With the stage fully anointed, their crushing gloop of malevolent black metal, crust and doom rings out, regularly [...]

One half of Shrinebuilder -- Scott Kelly of Neurosis and Scott "Wino" Weinrich of Saint Vitus -- will embark on an acoustic tour next month. Yes, they will leave the stacks at home, but don't expect some coffee-shop lite-folk bullshit from these dudes. Unless you're one of the lucky few who has tickets to Roadburn, you have no reasons to miss this tour. Wino also put out an acoustic release,

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

Per adesso me ne esco con qualche foto , appena ho due minuti butto giù qualche impressione, dico solo che ne sono uscito con le orecchie letteralmente sanguinanti.

No, non parlo della band americana, confermata tra l'altro al prossimo Roadburn, ma del giorno che aspettavo da un anno intero, Shrinebuilder live, bocca sempre più bavosa dopo il "pacco" allo scorso Roadburn causa fuckin' volcano. Gingillino in mano, ci scappa qualche foto, Turdo ti penserò intensamente. Quello che mi fomenta intensamente in questo periodo è Angry Birds per Iphone e "lawless darkness" dei Watain . Ormai ogni momento è buono per spaccare il culo ai maiali bastardi ritagliando traiettorie improbabili [...]

Out of the ashes of traditional music business comes Coextinction Recordings. Based in Brooklyn and run out of the Translator Audio recording studio, the label was started by several local musicians, including Dave Curran of Unsane. Rather than focus on signing artists and putting out full-length albums, the idea is to work with musicians on quick, creative, one-time projects, then distribute

Das wird ein hartes Wochenende für Unentschiedene. Am 20./21. November spielen gleich drei ÜBER-Bands in der Schweiz: The Residents, The Fall & Shrinebuilder verlangen nach deiner Aufmerksamkeit! Wer das Wochenende vom 20./21. November vor der Glotze verbringt, ist eine Pfeife. Die Herren Scott "Wino" Weinrich, Mark E. Smith oder die in edle Tuxedos gekleideten Augapfel-Köpfe sollte man sich nicht durch die Lappen gehen lassen - und darum heisst es an besagten Tagen: Raus aus der guten Stube und ab vor die Showbühne. Doch vor [...]

By: Navjot Kaur Sobti Now, I'm not usually a chick who has the patience to get through most doom metal, unless it's my bedtime, snooze-inducing soundtrack to abysmally sweet dreams. When I picked up Black Math Horseman's 2010-released Wyllt, however, let's just say I got a wake-up call from a genre I'd otherwise have remained all ...

Wino – the nom de guerre of Robert Scott Weinrich – has been making heavy music for nearly 35 years. Starting with War Horse, Wino has since been in a string of incredible bands: The Obsessed, St. Vitus, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, Palace of Skulls and now Shrinebuider. Wino has also released [...]

Diesen Donnerstag ist die Doom Metal-Band Shrinebuilder in der Roten Fabrik in Zürich zu Gast. 78s macht Träume wahr und verlost 2 x 2 Tickets. Zugegeben, die Ankündigung einer "Supergroup" vermag heutzutage kaum mehr als ein beiläufiges Schulterzucken zu provozieren. Zu oft wurde man unter diesem Label mit einer pseudo-symbiotischen Zweckgemeinschaft bleicher Bubis abgespeist. Wenn der [...]

UPDATE: Eyjafjallajökull strikes back: Shrinebuilder werden es nicht rechtzeitig über den grossen Teich nach Zürich schaffen. Das Konzert in der Roten Fabrik ist abgesagt.

Hey revolutionaries! I can thank that crazy volcano in Iceland for tonight's surprise Shrinebuilder show! They were supposed to be playing Roadburn Fest in Holland but because of cancelled flights they will be playing at Europa. In case you don't know who Shrinebuilder is (shame on you) it consists of members from Melvins, Neurosis Om, and Saint Vitus. So if you're a loser and not doing anything tonight (like me) then head over to Europa and rock the fuck out. Check out venue info and a video of "Science Of Anger" Below. Show starts at 9pm (doors at 8pm) [...]

Pictured: Pelican Live at the Scion Rock Fest (Skully's) Lateness disclosure: I didn't wanna mess with Texas O.K, O.K I think I'm finally over that saddy sad seasonal affective disorder nonsense and I'm super stoked for life all over again (oh man) and boy howdy, the Scion Rock Fest was the bee's knees AND the cat's pajamas no shit. I've also been speaking more freely and talking to anyone who will listen. It's basically like listening to a live stream of my brain (stuttering=buffering). Seriously though, [...]

by Graham "Gruhamed" Hartmann I thought I was too old to have a life changing experience at a rock show. Music is more important to me now than it ever was, but I never thought a live band could blow my mind like back in my teenage years. Last Friday proved me wrong. As I stood ...
