been meaning to post this for a week or so but hadn't gotten to it yet. I'm so out of my element with this style of death metal. I usually stick to 2 schools of death metal. one being the entombed school and the other being bolt thrower. this fits into neither of those. beer fits in my belly though and that's what really counts. know what I'm sayin?



1914


this is actually a few years old now but I just found it so here it is. blackened death metal out of the Ukraine. its all about WWI. hence the name 1914. this is honestly one of the best things ive discovered lately besides child bite. really really fucking good. you know what else is good? beer. beer is good.

BASALTE


atmospheric black metal out of montreal. when it comes to black metal this type usually isn't my thing but when its this good...its always my thing. like beer. beer is my thing. it this good.

(U.S.) Committee(s)-(Final) Flares LP (2018)

Country: USA
Genre: Post Punk, New Wave, Shoegaze, Alt. Rock
Label: Lovitt Records
Tracks: 10
Length: 44.15'

Final) Flares is the debut full-length by Committee(s). Conceived across three cities -- Chicago, Chapel Hill, D.C. -- Committee(s) is the brainchild of Chicago resident, Sean Husick (Milemarker, huSEQ, Static is a City)

Formed in 2015, the project’s roots go back to a years-gone post-show conversation between Husick and Ben Davis (Milemarker, Bats & Mice), in which Sean asked Ben if he might want to collaborate on a “goth” project together.

Husick took a stab at it, drafting a couple of tunes that betrayed a heavy debt to dark eyeliner-heavies like Samhain and Siouxsie Sioux. As songwriting progressed, the music’s influences began to turn toward atmospheric post-punk and shoegaze. Often, Husick used a bass guitar to form each track’s melodic foundation, freeing up room for guitars and synths to play a textural role while Davis added vocals.

After adding Ben’s fellow Sleepytime Trio and Bats & Mice bandmate Dave NeSmith (Maximillian Colby, Men’s Recovery Project, Rah Bras) to the mix, the trio had generated a record’s worth of songs and recruited friends from Chapel Hill to form a live version of the band, including guitarists Pete Wagner (Midnight Plus One, Challenger, Auxes), Rachel Hirsh (Bruxes, I was Totally Destroying It) and drummer John Crouch (Solar Halos, Horseback).

(Final) Flares includes 10 songs recorded over a number of sessions in Chapel Hill, D.C., and Chicago, produced/mixed/mastered by Husick. (Press Note)


* Wow, this is a really awesome hybrid of post punk, new wave, shoegaze, and alt. rock.  Committee(s) somehow makes their sound be all these things at once, but in a way that makes it none of these things at all.  I know, it sounds weird to say this, but I'm at a loss for words in describing this album.  Awesome stuff, none the less!  Enjoy!

SUNDAY SERMON #1 is live


It seemed that the majority of the people that voted in my poll were into the idea of this, so I went and started something I am calling SUNDAY SERMON. Every Sunday, I'll go back a week and add a song from every band that was either posted on the main page or mentioned in the chat. So every week there will be a fresh batch of things to listen to. If you hear something you like, you'll know that it can be found somewhere on the blog within the last week. Sound good? The link will always be to the right, just under the chat. The first one contains 66 songs and clocks in at over 5 hours. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to let me know. Spotify seemed to make the most sense to me, but what do I know.
