« Lemonade releasing 'Diver,' playing a show w/ Elite Gymnastics (who are making their NYC debut); Sleigh Bells touring | Rock the Bells 2012 dates, venues & some artists announced »

Vattnet Viskar
Vattnet Viskar and Yellow Eyes teamed for a Broken Limbs Recordings showcase at Lit Lounge last night (5/14). Black metal was the theme of the evening, with Yellow Eyes shooting for Weakling/Drudkh-style grandiosity while Vattnet Viskar attacked similar influences with a distinctly punk rock ethos. Yellow Eyes, who were playing their first NYC show, were impressive, especially considering their minimal experience as a live unit, but Vattnet Viskar was downright venomous.
More pictures from the night are below, alongside streams from both of their recent releases.

^ yep.
it's kind of funny that krallice (who aren't good but at least are a black metal band) are influenced by nattens madrigal so they have some higher on the neck stuff, then all these bullshit "transcendental" bands think that black metal = blast beat + high pitched guitar part.
