THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Cloud Nothings w/ A Classic Education, Gold-Bears Friday, February 17 The Earl - 466 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission $8 ADV / $10 DOS / Purchase Tickets After listening to Cloud Nothings' self-titled debut on Carpark and feeling unimpressed by Dylan Baldi's catchy but ultimately pedestrian bedroom recordings, that last thing I could have expected was the rousing, feedback and distortion-drenched Attack on Memory . Baldi's latest, Steve Albini-produced effort is a [...]

"Black Dunes" by This Will Destroy You is a song entirely dark and ghostly. Beginning with subtle sounds, this post-rock meets shoegaze band out of Texas does a great job creating a haunting melody, and their new video for "Black Dunes" capitalizes on their ability to create an eerie song. Malcolm Elijah overlaps black and white footage with surreal results. A typical song is about three and a half minutes long. It takes that amount of time for "Black Dunes" to build to that ever-so-known [...]

En una atmósfera verdaderamente profunda se desarrolla el video de This Will Destroy You , " Black Dunes ", del último trabajo del cuarteto de post-rock instrumental ( Tunnel Blanket ), que ya se encuentra disponible para su compra en iTunes . El clip muestra a una joven deambulando través de una casa vacía, apariciones fantasmales e inquietantes abstracciones visuales, todas concebidas mientras nos vemos inmersos en medio de la niebla en una zona rural de Suecia. This Will Destroy You es una de [...]

This Will Destroy You - Black Dunes ( Holy Other 's Woman In The Dunes Mix)
. Pheramones- We Already Know . . . . . .When in doubt open with pheramones. At least that's my philosophy when it comes to playlists i'm not sure what the track 1 should be. Energy, talent, pretentiously unpretentious... these guys have it all when it comes to being an ideal indie band. This song [...]
Explosions In The Sky have built a motley fanbase through six solid albums of transcendent, expansive guitar instrumentals. The Texan post-rockers' profile was raised considerably by having some of those life-affirming compositions placed in Friday Night Lights , and that made many of us like them even more because Friday Night Lights is one of the best TV shows ever and those Taylors are so wholesome and good looking. But, despite the band's burgeoning popularity over a dozen years, "Last Known Surroundings" is only their first music video. It was produced by Sissy Emmons and David Hobizal [...]

This Will Destroy You Live Review: This Will Destroy You June 9, 2011, The Earl, Atlanta by Eric Wildes Going to see an instrumental band play live is often a very different experience than seeing a typical rock outfit. It requires a different set of tools for the listener when you can't passively stare at the singer or shoot a careless glance at the guitarist during a lead. Watching Texas band, This Will Destroy You, carve lines at The Earl with its [...]

The post rock power of This Will Destroy You has been playing their ambient style of cinematic rock all up and down the east coast lately and are set to stop in at Strange Matter tonight with Nighty Nite and John Lamonica . This Will Destroy You - Communal Blood
This Will Destroy You's latest LP starts and finishes with flying colors, but it gets a little underwhelming in the middle for me. Hearing the band revisit old sounds, work with an odd drum mix, and working with similar structures throughout this album make me rethink my original love for some of the tracks here. In terms of structure, I'm really not wowed by this album. Where I am incredibly impressed is with the textures here! The sounds are fantastic, and some of the best I've heard this year. They're kind [...]
*shels is a band we haven't written much about here at MetalSucks, mostly because... I honestly don't have a good explanation. We're just dopes I guess. But Heavy Blog is Heavy has alerted me to the fact that the band has a new album coming out this summer called Plains of the Purple Buffalo (see [...]

Before we begin, I have some news about The Indie Sabbath . As you should know by now, the southern part of the United States has been ravaged over the past few weeks by violent thunderstorms, tornadoes and massive flooding. The scale of the disaster is incredible, and the people living in those areas are suffering in a way most of us can't even fathom. Starting Monday the 16th, I am going to be traveling to Missouri to help with the relief effort. This is going to be a physically draining experience as I will [...]

It's actually somewhat comical: I feel like I change and mature at the same rate as This Will Destroy You. A few years ago, I was a post-rock purest; anything past Russian Circles in terms of heaviness was completely out of the realm of playing possibility for me. That's why This Will Destroy You was perfect: Young Mountain and their Self-Titled were just what I needed, and were practically my post-rock anthems for a number of years. And then some things changed. I became unsatisfied with listening to just post-rock . Tunnel Blanket came at a perfect time for [...]
