Hour of 13 at their debut live show in 2010 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Hour of 13

Though he has been in and out of the band since the release of 2010's great The Ritualist, Hour of 13 have welcomed back the pipes of Phil Swanson for their latest effort 333. The new long-player continues along the path previously-paved by the North Carolina/Connecticut crew, toiling in old-school traditional doom for new label home Earache Records. Order your copy via the label, but you can give a first listen before that -- the entire record is streaming at the bottom of this post.

Hour of 13 shows are somewhat of a rarity, so dates for the band are few and far between though they will play Saint Vitus on 10/26 with Gravehill (tickets). Until then, check out most of their new effort 333 below.

I agree. Let's leave this one alone, all right? We'll stick with the Saint Vitus thread, okay?

No, no, no I won't. I won't leave them alone. I need to know which one will help with comprehensive wealth management services and which one will tell me which chablis goes well with the chicken breast I plan to make for dinner!

Sorry, they're too busy touring. You, on the other hand, seem to have nothing but time on your hands so have at it... just don't let your mom catch you with the dirty stuff again. You might lose your internet access, and then you would lose all contact with other humans!?!

STILL WAITING.

2:27 not true. I defended a touring band. You sit on the internet all day anonymously flaming said band, and others like them. You're fooling no one. You're anathema -- no one likes you.

In all sincerity this new HO13 release is album of the year.
To the casual listener it's at the very least dynamic and powerful, but to the seasoned ear there are hidden deferential easter eggs (of a sort)within the tracks that conjure up emotions and memories of a golden age long passed.

Sausage fail @6:52
Don't think so? You're too stupid too understand, how is that my fault.

Fucking hypocrite ignoramus.

On a listen its pretty typical metal.

"Rite of Samhain" ?? Guess so.

LULZ internet troll 6:52 fails to see that he is describing himself with his rant about "you ... seem to have nothing but time on your hands .... You sit on the internet all day anonymously flaming"

Such Projection! Such blindness! Such a stupid young man!

You really need to go in the bathroom (don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to shower) and look at yourself in the mirror. Your ignorance is spellbinding.

^ Says the sad, pathetic l'il troll named, Lulzy... The very fact you jumped on this thread to flame says more about you than anything I could ever write: Face it, you're a human garbage can.

meh, senior citizen sausages. nothing to see here.

Says 10:36, the human garbage can. We can do this all day, you silly little bunny. The more you project, the more I will call you on it. Obviously you never got the beatings that you deserved when you were growing up.

C'mon Lulzy! The classic "I know what you are but what am I" defense. Save it, shit for brains... and I have no doubt that you could, in fact, do this all day. You go a lot going on, huh?

Holy crap. Mr. Anti-Sausage a.k.a. LULZY and Buckeye Shrimper a.k.a. the only person who takes LULZY seriously need to rent a room and "work out their differences" and then get breakfast together.

^ another bad herpes day I see. Buckeye Shrimper, you need to stop concerning yourself with things involving logic and intelligence and just stick to the AIDS jokes, and pretending to actually be a sausage (and not a hipster homosexual), and pretending to actually be from NYC. You are good at hiding from shame and playing pretend - stick to that. You really aren't any good at "building an argument" or "investigative journalism"

You sausages better get driving - 3 minutes 25 seconds until my pizza is free, bitches!

Actually, it's not 11:14 with the AIDS jokes, but me. And I have to LOL @ you all this time somewhow thinking I'm a hipster pretending to be a sausage. Confused scarf is indeed confused (and has been all this time).
