All too often though the ideas and formula seems repetitive and recycled. I find it hard to recall any of the highlights after listening and nothing really stays with me or pulls me back in. - By Phil Johnston
The SOTO inbox is always full of cool stuff that never gets to see the light of day on the actual site, and I’d like to change that. So, every Friday I’ll be posting the best album streams and videos that were sent my way during the week. Take a scroll and find something worth remembering.

Hunter Hunt-Hendrix cuts a polarizing swath through black metal both with his band Liturgy , and his manifesto that divided a particularly passionate genre fanbase. While the new album from his other project Survival is decidedly less metallic in its appeal, their self-titled debut deals in a lot of the same transcendental themes and moods. Survival may not court as much controversy as Aesthetica , but its droning insistence and abyssal intensity match the transcendental ecstasy pound for pound. Some elements of Survival recall Liturgy more clearly than others. The barbed-hook guitar [...]

Sometimes a good music video does just one thing really, really well. That's the case with the Eric Wren-directed video for Survival's "Tragedy Of The Mind." Survival are the new and old band of Liturgy frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, and it's hard not to get excited for their debut album with every new song we've heard. The video for "Tragedy" is so simple (a single unmoving shot) yet its execution is as powerful as the music. Starting with a flaming mic cable, the band's instruments are thrown one by one into a growing fire while occasional streams [...]

Survival have shared a video for "Tragedy of the Mind". The song features Liturgy's Hunter Hunt-Hendrix on guitar and vocals. Survival's self-titled debut album is out on Thrill Jockey May 14th. While Survival's...

Big Flippers simultaneously resorts to survival mode and takes the unofficial official title for most videos ever released from a single UKHH project .

The top mp3s have gone through many incarnations since the beginning of Consequence of Sound in 2007. What used to be an exhaustive roundup of all the singles, remixes, covers, and undiscovered gems emailed to us any given week evolved into a compilation whittled down to our 10 favorite new songs. For 2013, we’re again changing up the format with the hope of giving our selections some added weight. We’re still posting about our 10 favorite songs, but they’ll be ordered in quality from 10-1. Who takes home #1 this week? You’ll have to click ‘Next’ to find [...]

In the modern world, it's rare that we'd ever have a chance to experiment with really surviving. Our every need and whim is entertained, and should we be even remotely uncomfortable, it wouldn't be long before we'd feel right again. Listening to the debut single from Thrill Jockey band Survival, however, we realize that the myth of survival, of being really alone with nothing but our resources and our brains, can be found in this track and we don't even have to leave the hous...

Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, the excellently named mastermind of the fight-starting New York art-metal band Liturgy, is about to release the self-titled debut from his side-project Survival. Survival isn't exactly a new band; it's a reactivation of Hunt-Hendrix's pre-Liturgy post-hardcore band Birthday Boyz. We've already posted their intense, circular, seesawing " Tragedy Of The Mind ," but "Since Sun," the second song we've heard from the album, is a different beast: It's monolithic, ominously pretty acoustic doom-folk. Listen to it below. Read More...
Liturgy frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix seems to be embarking upon a more solo-oriented musical journey as Liturgy's next album is yet to be released. While that's a bit of a personal disappointment, this new project, Survival, might sit a little better with those who were turned off by Liturgy's fast, abrasive black metal style. While Survival still takes away a lot from metal music, the riffs and vocals feel a bit more toned down. CoS accurately compares the track streaming above to something Alice In Chains if Layne Staley were a bit more timid. Though [...]

Survival el nuevo proyecto de Hunter Hunt-Hendrix debuta con "Tragedy of the Mind" Survival es la reencarnación de la banda black metal Liturgy , comandada por el vocalista Hunter Hunt-Hendrix .

Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, lead singer of the ontologically-focused, transcendental black metal band Liturgy , will be playing his headstock-less guitar in a new band Survival, who will release their debut self-titled album on May 14th through Thrill Jockey Records. The band consists of Hunt-Hendrix, Greg Smith, and Jeff Bobula, with some help in the studio from Colin Marston (Krallice, Dysrhythmia). The group's first single, "Tragedy of the Mind" is a good bridge away from the pure trance of Liturgy and into the more repetitive, riff-based '70s Brit-metal of Survival, with Hendrix sounding more like a timid Layne Staley (Alice [...]

![[Listen] Survival: "Tragedy Of The Mind"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4853128_lg.jpg)
No sé qué esté pasando con Liturgy en este momento, pero realmente espero que este año podamos escuchar algo nuevo por parte de ellos, con todo y que en Mayo estarán visitando nuestro país dentro del line-up de un festival cuyo nombre no recuerdo, en el que también se estará presentando Boris . Mientras tanto, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix de Liturgy está por poner a la venta el primer álbum de larga duración de su proyecto alterno de nombre Survival, mismo que previamente era mejor conocido bajo el alias de Birthday Boyz. Thrill Jockey es [...]
"Tragedy of the Mind," a fresh track from Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's long-running post-rock project Survival (formerly known as Birthday Boyz), rides into space on a single, four-note guitar motif, repeated so many times over that its ... read more
Survival is the reincarnation of Liturgy's Hunter Hunt-Hendrix screamo band Birthday Boyz. For those who are expecting the same kind of punishing, emotive sounds you got from BBZ, that's not what you'll get from this new track "Tragedy Of The Mind." It's droning, math rock-influenced hypnosis, teetering somewhere in classic rock territory but still with sounds gleaned and then toned down from hardcore. Check it out below. Read More...
