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 [...]

A couple of weeks back we reported on the sudden glut of U.S. metal festivals this year, the latest of which is the MetalSucks-sponsored Planet Caravan 2-day metal festival being held in Asheville, NC this September. Quick refresher: Clutch, Pentagram, Kylesa, Burst (first and last U.S. tour ever!), Wino and many others. Today we're thrilled [...]
Sandwiched conventiently between this dude (good) and these winners (skip bad to ugly), there is metal. Perhaps not in festival form, but metal nonetheless. And I, being an indoor kid, appreciate that.American symphonic black metallurgists Abigail Williams (dude from Emperor played drums on their first record!) crash the Pearl Room in Mokena on Thursday, and I'd be lying if I said I knew where
Crossing an ocean and more than a few international borders in pursuit of the almighty riff has taken up a bit more time than I'd expected, but after a European metal-induced hiatus of sorts, Grim Kim is back to spread the good word about the best bands you've never heard of. I've settled into a [...]
Instead of posting a half dozen bite-size stories about the latest news from the doom/sludge underground, I decided to compile it all into one big nasty ball o'resin and load y'all up with enough album updates, tour dates, and general sludgefuckery to BLOW. YOUR. FUCKING. MINDS. Load up the bong, and read on... Cult sludge act [...]
NC-by-way-of-NOLA dirty sludge spewers Sourvein are hooking up with Candlelight Records for a new EP, Imperial Bastard (due Sept. 30), and a full-length to follow early next year. No new tracks on the interwebs yet, but check out 2003's "Bangleaf" on ye olde MySpace to satiate your nearly-insatiable appetite for dirty doom. Sourvein are currently punishing tympanic membranes on their summer trans-US trek. Dates after the jump... Sourvein - 2008 US Dates: 07/15/2008 Great Scott - Boston, MA 07/17/2008 31st [...]
The Secret I was watching UFC a few nights ago, and it occurred to me that brutal music is like mixed martial arts. One has to vary one's attack. When bands do blastbeats for entire songs, that's like going into a fight doing only high kicks. You look for any opening, then shoot in and take advantage of it. Sometimes you triangle choke, sometimes you armbar, sometimes you go for the good old-fashioned KO. The Secret - Funeral Monolith [...]
by crustcake gerf (NYC) Another big week for shows in the Big Apple. I'll give you a quick overview of the highlights; check out the whole list below for more. Brooklyn post-rockers The Big Sleep released a new record this week. What do you do when you release a new record? Record release party of course! It's tonight at Mercury Lounge and joining them will be Priestbird (formerly Tarantula AD), who are highly recommended. Each of the three members are multi-instrumentalists, and they weave an epic soundscape [...]
