I don't do anything, but this kind of music makes me want to do drugs ;)




The heavy bit


..but I like the calming effect of their trippy songs better

saw them live at some point. drug and drink addled so i don't recollect when or where. small show really not impressed. the guitarist told me they never practiced. it showed. the recordings sound decent compared.

Yeah, I was thinking these songs probably didn't translate very well live. I think the not rehearsing thing is done deliberately to try and achieve that BEDEMON rawness - a Meg White drumming thing.

don't know. i was trying to be the nice guy on account the guitar slinger was up at the bar with me. he was kinda down on his performance and that of the band as a whole. said they barely did anything, just get together to record once in a blue moon. bummed dude for certains. weird live vibe the singer is into 70's metal fashion and tries real hard. the others seem like average joes. strange dynamic.

[i]Awesome sound indeed:):)[/i]Awesome sound indeed:):)

just got into this band a week or so ago therefore I have been listening to "the burl..." nonstop. wow- love the lo-fi heaviness. I emailed the band and they said "the burl..." will be getting the vinyl treatment sometime this year. very excited. what are the opinions of the newest release, "tome of the future ancients"?

I've only heard one track from the new release and I actually don't remember it because I was listening to a similar band 'Balam' at the same time. They're very similar:

Listening to the new album now on youtube and 'man sitting in a field of green grass' and ' illuminations foretold' are very cool.


Check out the Randolph Carter-esque written into:

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently discovered the manuscript while rambling in the woods with my dog. It was a few weeks shy of the vernal equinox, and the fine ends of the trees had just begun to show green. My hound had left me alone on the trail to go nose about the scrub—and possibly ferret out something living to eat —when suddenly I heard him calling. I found him pawing furiously at the ground in front of a weird tree with a huge trunk and massive branches sprouting low. Its bark was hard as granite and almost blue in color. My dog ceased his digging and looked at me, seemingly imploring me to dig further. I loosened the soil with my knife and continued the excavation until I struck something hard: it was a bound volume bearing the engraving "Tome of the Future Ancients by Ice Dragon." Inside, the leaves were filled with inscrutable symbols, ritualistic diagrams, and illustrations of strange flora and fauna. Even the must that invaded my nose as I turned the pages was alien.

What had I found?

Once home, I began to research and quickly discovered that there was a musical entity named Ice Dragon who worked in a basement not far from where the book had been. I contacted them to see if they had hidden it as some sort of promotional stunt. When I mentioned the engraving on the front, there was a pregnant pause on their end of the line. They assured me they had no knowledge of the book. However, what they revealed next gave me pause:

They had just completed their third album, and it was titled Tome of the Future Ancients. It was to be released on the day of the equinox. Sure enough, this turned out to be true.

By now, I was almost certain they were simply in the business of creating hype. There was no doubt they were responsible for the creation and burying of the book. Or so I was convinced, until carbon dating proved ineffective, and my academic peers who specialize in cryptography responded to my inquiries with blank looks.

Then, quite simply, the book vanished. One day it was in my study, and the next it was gone. Perhaps one of my colleagues grew jealous of my discovery and stole it; perhaps the woman who cleans my house disposed of it in fear upon opening it. Truthfully? I'm almost relieved it is gone for I hadn't experienced a restful night since bringing it into my home. My dreams were black, and my dog would bay at the threshold of the room that held the damned book.

For now, the only Tome of the Future Ancients by Ice Dragon available for study is this one. May it always be so.

I like what I heard from the youtube clips. Any specific album of theirs i should look into getting first?

check out "the burl..." -- great place to start.

Thanks. I'm going to be searching for that album after I get home from work.

They just released a 3rd album...in one year! (plus 2 splits).

Listening to it today, sounds solid as usual.

funny that they said they only record once in a Blue Moon, something must be up with that Blue Moon two weeks ago because this year they have released at least two or three things. I just learned of their existence recently from someone on this site (thanks, whoever) bought everything available and it was a bunch. Dig it all.

One of my favorite discoveries of 2012. All fucking hail.

Digging these guys a lot lately.

Song #7 - ifnotforthispatheticheart - is my favorite thus far. It reminds me of the timeless Resident Evil save room music.

Ice Dragon is some good shit. They are obviously working hard, putting out that many releases in a year and they make sure that they stay fresh and avoid redundancy.

I really want to play a gig with them, but I think they play out even less often than we do!
