“It’s all been written and rehearsed… now it’s time to record it!” That was stated by progressive metal role models Between the Buried and Me on their official Facebook page this past Saturday. The band entered the studio today to begin work on their forthcoming album which has a yet unannounced release date. If you’ve kept up with the band’s releases over the years, you know that they can really do no wrong and still somehow manage to evolve and expand their sound. Their most recent release, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues EP is surely evidence of ...

Between the Buried and Me have entered the studio with producer Jamie King to begin tracking their next album, a follow up to 2011's The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues .

The photo attached to this post is of drummer Blake Richardson and producer Jamie King tuning drums in the studio. Why are they tuning drums? Because Between The Buried and Me have officially kicked off recording sessions for their new album, the sequel to their EP, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues. The working title is currently ...

Calling the split “amicable but lamentable to say the least,” Averse Sefira have sadly called it a day. The long-running Austin black metallers are survived by a stellar discography — see Advent Parallax or Tetragrammatical Astygmata for the incontrovertible evidence — as well as a very entertaining, sporadically updated blog that explored the band’s occult [...]

American black metal titans Averse Sefira has officially disbanded. The band formed in 1996, and went on to make their mark through Europe and the Americas, performing with other notable black metal groups like Dark Funeral, Gorgoroth, Watain, Marduk, 1349, Absu, Antaeus, and Secrets of the Moon. The band gained a respectable following despite a fiercely independent stance that garnered them a complex reputation in the underground. They achieved wider exposure with their signing to Candlelight Records in 2007 and the release of their highly-rated fourth LP, 'Advent Parallax', the following year. Over the last decade, they also appeared in ...

The Anglo-Saxon wing of the Boys Noize cohort is back with another delicious slice of Neo-Acid. Blasting onto the scene in 2008 courtesy of the “Suck My Deck” series  Shadow Dancers Paul and Al Farrier have consistently been pleasing our ears with tracks such as last years Parallax, Cowbois,...

4AD Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox’s third official solo release is an ambient landscape of beautifully odd guitar work, swirling electronica and trancing pop, and it makes for something unusually potent. Deerhunter’s psychedelic, shoegaze style has roots in Cox’s blueprint for Atlas S...

Live Impressions by Cara Giaimo The Paradise Rock Club (w/ Carnivores & White Rainbow) Boston - March 8th Everything about Bradford Cox is long. He’s tall enough that he doesn’t really need a stage. He throws out such a far-reaching aura that he probably doesn’t even need a concert hall – if he were to unpack his guitar and his yawp of a voice in the middle of a field, villagers would be drawn from miles around and birds would settle on his pointed shoulders. He folds his arms around his guitar like a spider wrapping a fly, and his fingers stumble over the frets like a gangly teenager. Live, he even stretches his songs out, spinning the 3-minute forays of his albums into reverb-soaked sagas, with buildups and teardowns and valleys and peaks. And alone under the Paradise’s swampy stage lights, he throws a shadow like a redwood. [ Editor's Note: Painting perhaps a more perfect picture, take a look at this Interview Magazine photo shoot .] The internet’s reach is long, too, and reports of Cox’s onstage antics – black ski masks, preteen doppelgangers, an hour-long cover of “ My Sharona ” – got the Pitchfork-reading public out of their dorm rooms. The ‘Dise was stuffed to the gills; the air was thick with expectation and exhaled PBR vapors. Five hundred trigger fingers loomed over five hundred iPhone “record” buttons. Cox wasn’t biting. He ambled onstage between openers and slouched against the wall, eating from a sleeve of Saltines. He wore a Hawaiian-style shirt patterned with happy skiers, a little bone on a chain around his neck, and sometimes sunglasses. He brought the second opener a bottle of wine. During a break in the middle of his set, he teased the crowd. “It’s the last night ...

100 Flowers: Introduction by Josh Feola on 03-09-2012 100 Flowers is a roots-level view of the of the contemporary Chinese musical underground. The aim of this column is to articulate the contingencies of the Chinese scene and arrive at a parallax view of Chinese society from the perspective of its most peripheral negotiators.

by Ze Pequeno • February 2012 About 20 years ago, some people decided it was a good idea to boost concert-going in San Francisco and, possibly taking a cue from the International Pop Underground Convention some time prior, focus primarily on lesser-known styles of music. The subsequently-named Noise Pop Festival has since survived mayors with awful hair, too many suicides, too many good clubs being closed down for one reason or another, and this band essentially playing every year until they broke up . Which is to say 10 times. Now, they serve as the lead-in for tours that usually involve Austin ...

Escuchando lo que más me gustó de 2011 me pregunto todo el rato  ¿dónde nos hemos dejado los estribillos?  Y, también, dónde vamos a encontrar los de 2012 ahora que  Lanadadora se ha ido . Igual es que vamos a tener que acostumbrarnos a vivir en la excepción continua, a no poder predecir cuándo viene el subidón ni saber cuándo se va a repetir lo que ya conocemos . Todos los años me pasa igual: en las listas de la gente en cuyo criterio confío encuentro un montón de referencias sugerentes y gracias a ellas dedico el mes de enero a descubrir ...
