The multi-venue Calgary music festival is now underway. Day one for me included a quiet set by 40 Watt Sun in a noisy bar.

The song is off Del Judas' upcoming record 'Deity,' which he's celebrating with a Saint Vitus show in Brooklyn.

After working in the long song format for their first release Vitava, the instrumental band quickly turned around and dove into shorter songs, returning now with a full length album that tightens their focus and gives them room to see each concept to its logical conclusion.

The renowned drummer speaks with us about River Black, Burnt By the Sun, Brain Tentacles, Municipal Waste, and more. You can also catch River Black at two upcoming shows.

Sannhet discuss their excellent new album, and talk working with Interpol producer Peter Katis, Sufjan Stevens wearing their shirt on television, and more.

A discordant and deeply unsettling experience

The "Temple Of The Morning Star" Anniversary tour continues in September
