Savage Imperial Death March Part II Storms Michigan!!! (Concert Coverage)
Over the last two nights, Michigan has been stormed by the mighty forces of the Savage Imperial Death March Part II Tour. (say that ten times quickly)
Throne – That Who Sat Upon Him, Was Death
A new creature has arisen from the DNA of these older monsters, and it won’t be stopped!
Niboowin – giving in (Review + Interview)
I just walk away from listening each time feeling like I’ve grown or changed in some vaguely satisfying way, like I’ve achieved a catharsis I didn’t even really know I needed.
Cavalcade – Evergreens
There is genuinely never a dull time on this album.
Gossamer – The Culling of Crones
The weight of the subject matter, the strength of the composition, and the rugged excellence of the playing make this an album worth many repeat spins.
Zebulon Kosted – ...how important can living be when everyone is doing it... (Single)
Ghafur channels his inner prog and gives us a single more reminiscent of Voivod than anything else.
Barrel Bones – Shake-Rattle-Roll
…the band I most think of in comparison to Barrel Bones is one of my favorites, namely The Gaslight Anthem.
Mouthful of Locusts – Human Dissonance EP
Basically take parts of those two bands, a little hardcore, a little jazz, the dissonant sensibilities of Diskord or Replicant and you might be in the right wheelhouse.
Jesus Wept – Psychedelic Degeneracy EP
Death metal with a grindy sound, but not the grind speed. Nasty riffs that I’m pretty sure could actually cut you if you listen too closely. A nice mid-paced groove that gets the ole noggin’ banging. What’s not to like?
