Did Dark Castle open for YOB?

Yes they did. they were great too.

That same show is here in NOLA last Friday of the month. I plan on attending.

That's great. They don't disappoint, have fun!

Helms Alee / Torche / Big Business last week was pretty good. Helms Alee were surprisingly decent, had never heard them before. Seeing Torche again was definitely the highlight for me. I wasn't too into the Big Business set, but it was nice to see them live.

Definitely hitting the Dark Castle / YOB show here on Saturday and really excited for it.

Did YOB have Alma on vinyl?

No they had Atma Cds and The Great Cessation Vinyls

Derp, yea Atma, my bad. That's a shame. Will probably pick up the Great Cessation though.

Like stoner? Like shoegaze? Cool, me too. Then you'll probably like this band a lot:
True Widow - Skull Eyes

Oh, and unrelated but equally great:
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - I'll Cut You Down

Picked up the Ungoliant CD yesterday, fuckin rules!

also been listenin to Bongripper alot lately.

Steady rotation of the following all last week while at work.

Sleep
Om
Thou
Zoroaster
Black Tusk

The new Mournful Congregation & the new Esoteric are both excellent IMO. Also the latest from Argus & The Gates of Slumber are both really good too.

EVOM def showed me the door to this HEAVY music!

Currently listening to:

Skullflowers
SUNN O)))
Candlemass

Bummed they couldn't work out a deal to get die kruezen to reform and play. Then I'd know another skullbrainer would be there for sure.

Witch!

edit:
Looks like the NW is well represented!

one thing I love about being back in Louisiana is getting to see my local favorite Thou
check em out if ya have time
http://noladiy.org/thou/

I can't WAIT for the Thou / False show here soon. If you haven't heard False, please do so here:

PROTIP: Just put in $0 if you're a cheapskate or are hesitant to pay for music you haven't heard. Buy the vinyl though, like I did.

sheila's been dropping the electric wizard lps lately on her 1200s. makes for good dinner atmosphere.

Whuuuuuuh?! There were/are rumors Die Kruezen were reforming?

Voivod is curating a day and invited them.

Hoping everything aligns with work and money so I can go to Maryland Deathfest this year.
Electric Wizard, Saint Vitus, Church of Misery, Eyehategod, Noothgrush, Yob, Today is the Day.

and off topic butttttt Nasum farewell/reunion show(rip Mieszko)

any details on the death fest? I will definitely be there if work and money are right for me too.

oh the new Chelsea Wolfe – Ἀποκάλυψις (Apokalypsis) isn't doom really but hints at it a lot. I haven't stopped listening to it..... http://pendusound.com/releases/psr-0045/

Beastwars. Check out the sunday sessions videos on YouTube.

The whole album is better than your average stoner album.


Saw Cave last night. Now that's some hypnotic, robotic, kraut, stoner rock.
