Just in the last year, he released ?Adrift,? an acoustic follow up to the electrified ?Punctuated Equilibrium,? as part of his solo-dubbed band.

I send you out over a month ago to find me the next big thing, and you fail to locate one bankable artist. You call yourself a talent scout?" "Mr. Im-Basil, I don't know what you mean. I have found several high quality singers and songwriters recently. Haven't you received any of the music samples I've sent you?" "Of course I have. The employees in the mail room actually know how [...]
Download: Wolvserpent "Serpent" (edit) (from Blood Seed available now from 20 Buck Spin) Wolvserpent is a Boise-based duo of drone-adjacent metal that write the soundtrack to freezing to death. Half-tucked within the usually niche world of doom, the two create lurching cinematic soundscapes of lawless splendor. They play this Thursday with Wino and more. This interview by Matt Dupree. Usually I can hear a band's hometown in their music—like when you listen to sludge you can [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your seats and kiss your collective ass goodbye. June 21st marks the return of doom rock legend Scott "Wino" Weinrich , whose tenure with St. Vitus sired the Black Sabbath on cough syrup approach to metal and gave subsequent rise to a countless dirging bongwater bands. Recent years have found Wino focusing on acoustic music and participating in random one-offs (Dave Grohl's Probot, the Henry Rollins-curated Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three ), but Premonition 13's maiden [...]
