The Time Lord is a 5 song album of never before released tracks by the classic doom band Pagan Altar. Originally recorded in 1978, the the album was re-issued in 2004.
Featuring members of the now hipster worshiped Fucked Up, Career Suicide play straight on, old school hardcore. This EP was released in '08 and only available during a short tour they did of the UK.
...if they took away all the instruments and relied solely on their voices of course. This is the classic album Pet Sounds a la acapella. Personally, I prefer it the real thing, ya, I went there.
Probably the best show I have ever been too. I still can't believe I saw this band. You can make out the back of my buzzed head in parts of this video, I was into it.
It's official, Sleep is going on tour this September. According to the band's myspace they will be starting a mini-tour across the U.S. shortly after their gig with The Stooges in New York on 9/3. The dates are as follows: 9/7 Philly 9/8 Brooklyn 9/9 Chicago 9/10 Austin 9/11 Portland 9/12 San Fransisco More info available here.
Needless to say, I will be either at the Chicago or Austin dates. So fucking excited. I've heard that tickets for the Philly show are only 25 bucks, so hopefully the rest of the dates are a similar price.
Anhedonist is a new band hailing from Seattle playing music of the death/doom kind, which if you haven't figured out by now, is always a plus with this blog. As you might have guessed from the title, this is their demo; it features 3 songs each clocking in at around 10 minutes. Worth it. If you're into it you might also want to check out Winter and/or Mystic Charm. Thanks to Joe for showing this to me.
