Gaza at Acheron, 11/12
Gaza

West Coast punks No Statik will return to NYC to play Acheron on January 7th. Details on support are still TBA. This San Francisco band features members of great bands like Artimus Pyle, Scrotum Grinder, and Look Back And Laugh and is streaming some material below.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed is streaming a new set of songs available from their forthcoming flexi in Decibel. Stream those at Soundcloud. Make sure to check out the lyrics, which diss everyone from Scion to Obituary to Kurt Ballou and everyone in between. Speaking of Obituary, I have a pair of tickets available for giveaway for their Saturday (11/19) show at Santos. Details on how to win are below.

After playing a FREE show at Acheron a couple weeks ago, Seraphim will return to play with Pilgrim, Dutchguts and The Year is One on December 15th at Saint Vitus. The band is returning form a recent stint of dates with Pulling Teeth overseas.

Windhand will team with NATUR and Pilgrim for a 3/1 show at Public Assembly. Windhand ripped it at Acheron in their last outing, and their new LP out soon on Forcefield is gold. Ordering details are forthcoming but doom fans, you need this one.

As previously discussed, Brain Killer will lead a Nick Poot memorial show on 11/26 at Tommy's Tavern. Joining the band will be Green Beret, featuring members of the great Social Circkle. Check out their demo above and buy a cassette copy via their label. Social Circkle also recently released their Expiration Date EP via Side Two, check out "No I Won't" from that release above. Fans of 80s style hardcore take note of both.

A full set of photos of Gaza at Acheron on 11/12, a Doomsday Student video, and all suggested shows are below. What did I miss?

Seraphim at A389 2010 (more by Chris Bavaria)

Seraphim's The Light In The Distance dropped earlier this year via A389/Chainsaw Safety, and it is truly a gem for fans of the epic-hardcore minded by bands like Isis. The band is playing a string of East Coast dates on their way towards a European tour with Pulling Teeth which will include a FREE show at Acheron on 11/7 (MONDAY) with Kings Destroy. The show kicks off at 9PM, and though the show is free, donations will be taken at the door that will go back to the touring bands. Stream The Light In The Distance below as well as the Waste EP, and catch Seraphim in your city if you're so lucky.

In related news, A389 have announced an impressive slate of releases that include a new Seven Sisters of Sleep/Children of God split 12", a new Ringworm/Mindsnare split 7" and Ringworm flexi, a reissue of Pale Creation's Twilight Haunt on vinyl, and a somewhat uncharacteristic release in Anne's Dream Punx 12", a band that owes more to Ride or My Bloody Valentine than Integrity. Check out tracks from all releases in the A389 boombox (the SSoS release comes HIGHLY reccommended) and order/preorder your copies at the webstore.

Stream a new Anne track called "Get It How You Live" and check out a video of "Virginal Plight" below alongside new SSoS and CoG videos and all Seraphim dates....

Starkweather at ABC No Rio

This Is Hardcore Fest 2010 details are officially in the open, and the three day Philly festival will feature appearances from Sheer Terror, Ink & Dagger (with Geoff Rickly of Thursday filling in on vocals), Kid Dynamite, Cro-Mags, Nails, Ringworm, Starkweather, Trapped Under Ice, Seraphim, and many others. The full list is below. Tickets are on sale for the full weekend, or each individual day (Fri, Sat) though Sunday (with Kid Dynamite and Ink & Dagger) is sold out.

One of the This is Hardcore bands, Starkweather, played ABC No Rio on Saturday (May 29) with Rosetta and Shell Shock, one of TWO Rosetta shows for the weekend (the second was the BV/1000 Knives production with Ken Mode). I ducked out before the headliner Shell Shock, and missed a good portion of Rosetta's set due to beverage consumption across the street, but Starkweather were as good (better?) than I had remembered, playing a mix of metal and hardcore all anchored by vocalist weighty and powerful Rennie Resmini's voice. The band's material from their new LP This Sheltering Night sounded fantastic live as well (cop that). More pictures from their appearance are below.

Another This is Hardcore band, Seraphim, is also on board to play SATURDAY at Cake Shop alongside Altered State, Voyager, and Monolith as part of a BV/1000 Knives/Science of Silence production. The show kicks off at 5PM!

Some pics and video of Starkweather at ABC No Rio, and the full This is Hardcore fest lineup are below...

DOWNLOAD: Voyager - "There is No Hope" (MP3)

Seraphim at A389 Anniversary (more by Chris Bavaria)

Crushing space-core will collide with riffy hardcore when Voyager and Monolith will team up with the touring Seraphim and Altered State for a show at Cake Shop on June 5th. The show is one of two NYC shows for the Seraphim/Altered State touring party. The second is sooner, 5/27, at new Bushwick venue Acheron with Divider and Colony.

The Cake Shop show will double as a release party for a new Voyager / Monolith split LP which will be the inaugural release on the new Science of Silence Records ("A NEW LABEL VENTURE RELEASING LIMITED EDITION VINYL FOR THE BEST IN POST-ROCK, INSTRUMENTAL & AVANT-GARDE METAL"). Voyager's "There Is No Hope" is the 5th song of the six song album. Download that track for free above, preorder the whole record at The Omega Order before it drops on June 8th, and check out the full tracklist below.

Seraphim's debut 7" is out NOW on A389 records. The band is recording their debut LP at the end of this month with Chainsaw Safety handling the CD/Digital honors and A389 doing the vinyl.

Speaking of space-core, the band self-described as "music for astronauts" (Rosetta) will play Union Pool on FRIDAY (5/28), alongside Ken Mode, Engineer, and My America.

All tour dates and some video below....

Surprise! After a few CDs made their way into record stores accidentally (I am told) Twilight, the Blake Judd/Wrest project that now features N. Imperial (Kreig), Aaron Turner (Isis), Stavros Giannopoulos (The Atlas Moth) and Sanford Parker (Minsk) is out NOW on CD via Southern Lord! The record was engineered by Sanford Parker, who also contributed synths, and features eight tracks with Robert Lowe (Lichens) contributing vocals to three of them. No official word on a release date for the LP, but get out and order a copy... I think I may enjoy it more than the new Nachtmystium. Speaking of the new Nachtmystium, Stereogum recently premiered the keyboard heavy "No Funeral" from the forthcoming Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II. Dig on that above.

Call me obsessed, but the new Black Breath, Heavy Breathing, is on serious rotation lately- much like their previous EP Razors To Oblivion was last year. The new LP has Kurt Ballou's dirty little fingers all over it, bringing their rich early Swedish death metal meets hardcore sound to life, as exhibited in "Children of The Horn" available above. Get Heavy Breathing now via Southern Lord. Black Breath will open the BV/1000 Knives/AEG Live Converge extravaganza at Santos Party House on 5/6 along with Touche Amore and Lewd Acts. Make sure and get their early (their live show is worth it), and get your tickets in advance (it WILL sell out). Seriously brutal and fun stuff... you gotta love a band that screams "reject Christ, spit on the cross" at the top of their lungs. Or am I alone on that one?

Though it only lasts two tracks (but conversely- 35 minutes), the new EP from Altar of Plagues, Tides, is every bit as powerful as White Tomb, one of my favorite LPs of last year. AoP's new Tides EP is currently up for pre-order via Burning World Records (cop it), but until that package arrives, make sure and dig on "Atlantic Lights" from the EP (50% of the record!) , which makes it's world premiere here!

An LP from last year that was just too good to be free was Celeste's Misanthrope(s). With a potent mix of black metal, furious hardcore, and even melody, it was a seriously underrated record that deserved much more attention than it got. Even though Misanthrope(s) is barely in the rear view, the band has released their new LP, Morte Nee(s) for FREE download (get it above). Make sure and order a copy of the LP for yourself via Denovali as well though, it's one to keep for posterity.

Richmond's Inter Arma totally floored me at The Charleston with their furious mix of black metal, southern stoner style and Neurosis-style imperial riffage. Besides being a jawdropping live band, Inter Arma has also put together a pretty memorable record as well in the form of Sundown, out soon on Forcefield Records. Featuring members of another great Richmond band, Bastard Sapling, check out the band when they hit the road in July, but until then, check out Sundown!

A darkness has settled over the land... details on Watain's new album have been revealed! Entitled Lawless Darkness, the effort was recorded at Necromorbus Studio (Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, Ondskapt, Nominon, Unanimated et al) in Alvik, Sweden, and is due on June 7 with the below cover art and the tracklisting as listed down below. The release follows their picture disc EP Reaping Death which quickly disappeared, though the CD single is currently available.

That Watain cover, plus news on Blood Revolt (Primordial + Revenge), Loss, Man Is The Bastard, Hail of Bullets, Woe, a new Inquisition LP, and more as Short Wave Warfare continues....

DOWNLOAD: Seraphim - "Unbelieve" (MP3)

Seraphim at A389 Anniversary (more by Chris Bavaria)

It's never a bad look when your record is packaged for sale with hardcore heavyweights Integrity, and if you're a young band, it's a definite show of faith. That young band? Tupelo, Mississippi's Seraphim, who rise to the occasion on their debut 7" on A389. Channeling post-metal and post-hardcore through a blackened sieve, the band bludgeons with introspection on the EP's opener "Unbelieve", available above. Seraphim push the pedal to the floor for the remaining two tracks, but without ever losing the punishment/dread. Three killer tracks, and I can't wait for the new LP planned for release later this year. Fans of Neurosis, Mastodon, Mouth of The Architect, Rosetta and Amenra, take heed. Ruling.

Seraphim will hit the road on 2/13 for a string of dates that will take them out west through middle March, so get out and catch 'em (no NYC dates yet). All dates and live video from their recent show for A389 Anniversary, below...

Dwid of Integrity

Billed as "The Show That Ends The World", heavy music label A389 Records celebrated six years of existence (and it's owner Dom of Pulling Teeth celebrated his 33rd birthday) at Sonar in Baltimore on Jan 8th & 9th, 2009. It marked the second year in a row that Integrity and Pulling Teeth graced the Sonar during one of the first weekends of the year. Integrity (featuring Dom on guitar) teamed up with Oak, Pala, and War Priest last year.

Dwid, PT & the gang were on board for the second night at the venue (along with Ringworm, Seraphim, Gray Ghost, and Gehenna), but Pulling Teeth also made an appearance the night before as the backing band for Jon Mikl Thor of Canadian metal greats Thor:

Jon Mikl THOR is an enduring icon of glam rock/metal, and one of the true originators of rock theatre. THOR's enviable career got off the ground with his appearance on the Merv Griffin Show in 1973 and he has maintained a steady pace ever since, selling hundreds of thousands of records. Over the last three decades, THOR has explored the tongue-in-cheek Sweet/Mott the Hoople/Bowie stylings, hard hitting metal moves of the 80Õs, and flirting briefly with Nu-Rock/Metal in the late 90Õs. - [Thor bio]

Slumlords (which also features Dom of PT), Deathammer (mems of Oak), and No Redeeming Social Value were also on board for the festivities, though the previously billed Starkweather were forced to cancel their appearance. No offense Starkweather, but from the looks of the near riot below, Baltimore did just fine.

More pics and a shit ton of videos from the melee are below...
