Earth to Release Primitive and Deadly in September

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 29th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

So you’ve got an Earth record with Mark Lanegan singing on it? Well fucking a. Yes, please. Sign me up.

Details of Earth‘s forthcoming long-player, Primitive and Deadly, come via the PR wire below. Southern Lord will have it out in September, and it seems like yet another fascinating turn in Earth‘s ongoing progression is in store.

More to come I’m sure:

EARTH Reveals Details Of Their Tenth Studio Recording, Primitive And Deadly

International Tour Dates Begin Next Week

EARTH’s career, like its music, has always been a slow, deliberate progression. Each record slightly removed from the last, a constant refinement of a singular vision. Dylan Carlson has remained focused throughout on coaxing moments of strange beauty and reflection from “the riff”. This elemental foundation of rock is refracted, in their earliest recordings, through the prism of sheer volume and feedbacking drone or, in the twin Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light set from 2011 and 2012, via a sparse unraveling take on folk.

With Primitive And Deadly, EARTH’s tenth studio collection, Carlson and long term cohort, drummer Adrienne Davies, manage to pull off the trick of completing an Ouroborean creative cycle, twenty-five years in the making, whilst exploring new directions in their music. For the first time in their diverse second act, they allow themselves to be a rock band, freed of adornment and embellishment. As much as Carlson’s guitar has always been the focal point of EARTH’s music, it’s been surrounded by consistently diverse instrumentation. Here the dialog between Carlson and Davies drumming remains pivotal, underpinned by the sympathetic bass of Bill Herzog (Sunn O))), Joel RL Phelps, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) and thickened by additional layers of guitar from Brett Netson (Built To Spill, Caustic Resin) and Jodie Cox (Narrows). Perhaps the largest left turn on Primitive And Deadly, though, is prominence of guest vocalists Mark Lanegan and Rabia Shaheen Qazi (Rose Windows) who transform the traditionally free ranging meditations of EARTH into something approaching traditional pop structures.

On “Rooks Across the Gates,” a song stylistically the closest to the folk inspired modality of Angels Of Darkness, Carlson stretches out into some of his most lyrical playing to date, creating an almost symbiotic relationship between his performance and the vocals of old friend Mark Lanegan. “From the Zodiacal Light,” meanwhile, takes the late 60s San Franciscan/freaked-out jazz-rock transcendence of The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull and quickly re-appropriates that sound into a musky torch song for the witching hour.

This contradictive tension between a band pushing itself ever-forward whilst surveying their history is reflected in the albums twin recording locales. The foundation of the record was laid in the mystic desert high lands of Joshua Tree, California where EARTH recorded hour after hour of meditations on each tracks central theme at Rancho de la Luna. Upon returning to Seattle these were edited, arranged and expanded upon at Avast with the help of long-term collaborator Randall Dunn (who was previously at the helm for the Hex, The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull and Hibernaculum sessions).

Thick, dense and overdriven, melodically rich and enveloping, Primitive And Deadly is EARTH reaffirming their position as a singular point in the history of rock. The album will see worldwide release this September, with a final street date to be announced shortly.

Prior to the album’s release, Southern Lord shall be reissuing Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method and The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull on LP on June 24th in North America.

EARTH shall embark on a run of international tours beginning next week, including June and July dates across Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Europe, followed by another European tour in support of Primitive And Deadly, with much more in store.

Revolving Beast and Turbojugend Kokomo Stream Tracks from New Split 12″

Posted in audiObelisk on May 29th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

Seems like a safe assumption that between the feedback-soaked intro to Revolving Beast‘s “Hogs,” the Voivod-meets-MondoGenerator weirdness that plays out from there, and the acoustic, “Tiki-themed” cover of Turbonegro‘s “All My Friends are Dead” by Norwegian cover act Turbojugend Kokomo, at some point as you make your way through the nine minutes or so of music below, you’re going to wonder just what the hell is going on. It’s okay. That’s pretty much the whole idea.

The tracks come from a Self-Destructo Records split 12″ between the two vastly different acts, based alternately in North Carolina and Oslo, and yeah, things get pretty weird. Revolving Beast are given to layered solos, prog-metal rhythmic insistence, and deft turns that create overarching groove where one wouldn’t expect it could thrive. “Hogs” has a jagged feel and makes quick work of its shifts, which betrays some of the trio’s pedigree in acts like Valient Thorr, The Church of Zann and The Black Hellatones these are guys who’ve been around — but the three-piece keep a steady flow and hold the track together, which is a significant accomplishment considering how off-the-rails some of it sounds.

And “All My Friends are Dead?” Well, it’s an acoustic Turbonegro cover. At under 90 seconds, it’s over before you know it, but before then, it keeps the madcap infectiousness of the original, which appeared on Turbonegro‘s 2005 outing, Party Animals, but strips the song down to its bare bones, a verse, a hook, repeat. As zany as Turbonegro have been for the better part of the last 25 years, Turbojugend Kokomo emphasize that what’s underneath the wacky hats, drunken antics and perpetual cult following, there’s a quality of songwriting serving as the foundation for all the rest.

If you wanted something a little off from the norm, start with either. PR wire info follows the tracks below:


Self Destructo Records announces split 12” with North Carolina’s Revolving Beast and Oslo, Norway’s Turbojugend Kokomo

North Carolina power trio Revolving Beast and Scandinavian vocal/guitar quintet Turbojugend Kokomo to be featured on split LP out in late summer 2014 via Self Destructo Records. We welcome them to the family!!

Revolving Beast is a NC based power trio comprised of guitarist Benjamin Earl, drummer Storm Castañeda, and bassist Kenneth Ells. While their collective musical pedigree implies a form of rock and roll that is equal parts aggression and complexity – see Valient Thorr, Thunderlip, The Kickass, The Church of Zann, and The Black Hellatones for a short list of their previous work – they write songs in an unnamed argot. Amorphous and crystalline, a landlocked island, they pierce your hull, sever your canvas, and nurture you with their affectation.

Revolving Beast has already played a handful of shows around the Southeast area and has been met with good responses by the crowds.

Revolving Beast live:
– June 1st at The Cave (Chapel Hill, NC): Brief Lives, Revolving Beast, Bitter Resolve.

Turbojugend Kokomo is a vocal group consisting of five drunken Norwegian rock n rollers who are members of Turbojugend Oslo, the mother chapter of the Turbojugend, the global fan club of the Scandinavian hard rock band Turbonegro. Formed in the winter of 2006 under the influence of pizza and beer and hailing from the cold city of Oslo, these Beach Boy worshipping, Hawaiian shirt clad Scandinavians have traveled throughout Europe (most notably Germany and Sweden) using their natural talents to have audiences walking into bars in curiosity and walking out in disbelief since. They’ve played such events as the Welt Turbojugend Tage (St. Pauli, Hamburg) and the Oslo Bloodbath; they’ve been featured on various recordings and tribute albums from various labels (most notably for Trashcan Darlings and for Turbonegro).

Turbojugend Kokomo is:
Tanked Mongo – Vocals, Guitars and Tambourine
Party Cowboy – Vocals and Kazoo
Twin Turbo – Vocals and Triangle
Turbo Truls – Bass & Vocals
Peke PresHenning – Vocals

The two bands will have four songs each be featured on a limited split 12” LP out in early Fall 2014 via Self Destructo Records. Both bands, despite their difference in sound, are excited to be a part of this release and to be working alongside each other.

Track listing is as follows:

Turbojugend Kokomo:
1. All My Friends Are Dead
2. Whiskey in the Jar
3. Sloop John B.
4. House of The Rising Sun

Revolving Beast:
1. Four Banger
2. The Burning Of Salem
3. Hounds
4. Hogs

Black Moon Circle, Black Moon Circle: Space Disposition

Posted in Reviews on May 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

The self-titled debut from Norwegian trio Black Moon Circle makes little effort to mask its intent. It is a space rock record, built around three heavy jams split effectively onto two vinyl sides, and for all its sense of exploration, improvisation and general farouttery, there’s an encouraging lack of pretense. Based in Trondheim, which on the average December day will see roughly five hours of sunshine — in June, that goes to over 20 hours per day — the core three-piece of vocalist/bassist Øyvin Engan, guitarist/vocalist Vemund Engan and drummer Per Andreas Gulbrandsen teamed up with none other than Øresund Space Collective swirlmaster and friend of the site Scott “Dr. Space” Heller for the recording of Black Moon Circle, and Heller‘s noisemaking and matter/energy disruptors contribute much to the open feel and heavy psych feel of the release. He’s proved ready to jam under most circumstances — this year’s Roadburn had him paired with Carlton Melton and Øresund Space Collective have a collaboration forthcoming with Damo Suzuki of Can — so that he’d be malleable to Black Moon Circle‘s “Enigmatic SuperBandit” is relatively expected, though how well the fit works winds up a pleasant surprise, as Black Moon Circle retain some of the roots of structured songwriting amid their propensity for jamming out into the stellar reaches across “Plains” (8:22), “American Eagle” (5:28) and the side-B-consuming “Enigmatic SuperBandit” (14:24). Their debut feels quick at a little over 28 minutes, but it is an engaging single-LP nonetheless that is able to pull together a cohesive vibe with apparent ease in that time. You won’t hear me complain.

And of course, calling in Dr. Space to add nebulas of effects to the songs isn’t going to hurt either, but Black Moon Circle distinguish themselves even apart from that partnership, with a languid rolling groove on “Plains” that sets up the flow to play out over the subsequent two pieces. Each song has plenty of room to jam, and the Engans and Gulbrandsen use that time well, but both “Plains” and “American Eagle” — presumably not named after the clothing company, though one never knows — make an impression with their verses and choruses as well, a laid back sense of structure emerging that moves well into and through wah-soaked spaces. It’s telling when they bring back the chorus of “Plains” after an extended guitar solo to finish out the song with a proper bookend, showing commitment to songwriting as well as to instrumental exploration, and that balance serves Black Moon Circle over the course of “American Eagle” and even “Enigmatic SuperBandit” as well. It’s a mood and dreamy feel not so unlike what New York heavy psych jammers Sun Voyager have concocted in their early going, and some post-shoegaze vocal similarity can be heard too, but that seems most likely to be a case of shared root influences and sonic coincidence, and one can just as likely hear some early 2000s Swedish heavy rock — Dozer, Lowrider — at work underneath “American Eagle” as anything more recent. Either way, Black Moon Circle do well taking these elements and beginning to carve out their own feel from them, “American Eagle” breaking cleanly at about 3:30 in to shift into a bluesy, open-sounding build of a solo before also returning to its central hook, no less encompassing than that of the opener.

Wino Wednesday: Saint Vitus, “The War Starter” Live in Houston, May 2014

Posted in Bootleg Theater on May 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

The West Coast leg of Saint Vitus‘ 35th anniversary tour wrapped up this past weekend in Texas with three shows in a row. They did Austin, Houston and Dallas on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to round out the run of gigs playing the entirety of 1986’s Born too Late as well as other selections from their hugely influential discography. It’s a show they’ll take to Europe and the UK in October/November alongside Orange Goblin (dates here), and presumably onward from there. However eager I might be to hear another batch of new material from them, 35 years of Vitus is an occasion worth marking, and they’re doing so in righteous fashion. They were here last fall, but I’ve still got my hopes up they do another East Coast leg before the touring cycle ends.

Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, and I suppose you could say the same of another album, but it’s hard not to get greedy looking at the clip below for “The War Starter,” the closing track from Born too Late which was the first Vitus record fronted by Scott “Wino” Weinrich and in many ways the band’s most landmark release — rivaled, perhaps, by their 1984 self-titled debut, on which Scott Reagers sang. I had to laugh when I watched it for the first time and saw the camera, which is set up on bassist Mark Adams‘ side of the stage, vibrating from the band’s waves of low end. Yeah, that’s about right for Saint Vitus‘ tones. There are a bunch of videos shot in HD from the same night, but the dark vibes of “The War Starter” and foreboding atmosphere seemed to lock in really well in Houston, and it’s not a song they play at every stop on tour.

Enjoy and have an excellent Wino Wednesday:

Deville Announce First-Ever US Tour Dates

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

Deville are in for a slog. The Malmö, Sweden, native heavy rocking four-piece have announced the first US tour dates in their decade-long existence, and they’re not exactly taking it easy on themselves. To take it easy would be the West Coast, go out, do 15 shows in the Northwest and down the coastline into California, maybe cap with a few in the desert somewhere or in Texas or the like. Deville are going the other way — starting in the Midwest and coming east to play venues in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. They’ve given themselves one day off and are playing four shows to cap the run in Ohio. It’s not going to be easy, but I guarantee whatever tour they do next time in the States is going to seem that way by comparison.

Kudos to the band for the undertaking. I’ll look forward to seeing them at the Worcester gig and hope they get to have some good times along the way. The US needs more European bands touring here, and the better stories Deville go home to tell, the more likely someone else is to come over too. So show up and buy merch.

Here are the tour dates:

The dates are up for the US tour! Check it out! Starting next week!

VIDEO PREMIERE: Mars Red Sky, “Hovering Satellites”

Posted in Bootleg Theater on May 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

I couldn’t be more thrilled to host the premiere of the new Mars Red Sky video for the track “Hovering Satellites.” Stranded in Arcadia, the Bordeaux fuzz-roller trio’s second album and Listenable Records debut from which the song comes, is easily among the best records I’ve heard this year (review here), refining the ultra-warm tones of Mars Red Sky‘s 2011 self-titled debut (review here) and complementing them with a far-out heavy psych expansion. I can’t think of another album that’s come along in 2014 that I’ve gone back to as much even since doing the review, so yeah, pretty much any chance I get to talk about how awesome it is, I’m gonna take it.

The new video is directed by Colin Manierka and it blends live footage (captured by Bartosch Salmanski) with psychedelic color work, space scenes and wave patterns, all feeding into the atmosphere of the song itself. We do indeed get to see the satellite hovering in orbit, as well as some artful details of Mars Red Sky — guitarist/vocalist Julien Pras, bassist/vocalist Jimmy Kinast and drummer Matgaz — on stage, but of course the highlight is the song itself, which perfectly encapsulates Stranded in Arcadia‘s accomplished melodic sensibility, heavy grooving and memorable songcraft. I’m a total nerd for the album, but the video makes my day anyhow.

Mars Red Sky recorded Stranded in Arcadia with Gabriel Zander in Brazil following their visas being denied by US customs — they had originally planned to put it to tape in the California desert — and the band is just off tour in Europe and preparing to head out again in June with appearances slated at Hellfest in Clisson and Germany’s Stoned from the Underground festival. Dates below.

Stranded in Arcadia is available now in Europe and out June 10 in North America on Listenable Records.

Enjoy:

06.01.14 – PARIS (Fr) La Cigale ***

High on Fire Begin Writing New Album

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

Not much to say about it yet but since it’s High on Fire writing a new record, the news is good. As the PR wire informs, fresh off the Scion Rock Fest, the Oakland crushers have also snuck in a few dates in Chicago ahead of trekking to Australia and thereafter to Europe before returning to the States to hit the Hopscotch festival in North Carolina this September. No word on whether they’ll continue writing on the road or have any new material in tow for the shows, but screw it, that High on Fire are working on a follow-up to 2012’s De Vermis Mysteriis (review here) and eying an early 2015 release is a pretty solid takeaway to have. Figure one or two songs might be ready to go at this point, as High on Fire have made a habit of road-testing new material in the past, but don’t quote me on that.

From the PR wire:

HIGH ON FIRE Begins Work on New Album

Hard Rock’s Heaviest Band Prepping “Herculean” LP

Chicago Residency, Australian, European Headlining Tours Announced

California rock giants HIGH ON FIRE have begin work on their new, as-yet-untitled studio album. The globally-celebrated group — guitarist/vocalist Matt Pike, drummer Des Kensel and bassist Jeff Matz — have convened for strategic writing sessions in both New Orleans, LA and Oakland, CA, with early reports indicating the band’s new material to be both “epic” and “sonically huge”. A winter 2015 tentative release date via eOne is expected for the new LP, the follow-up to 2012’s De Vermis Mysteriis, which has been hailed as “not for the faint of heart ” by The New Yorker and “a fantastically constructed bloodbath” by Entertainment Weekly.

“Des, Jeff and I are really getting creative and writing a hell of a new record,” states Pike. “It’s a crazy project and I can’t really explain what it’s all about just yet, but we’ve been writing a lot of crazy intense material that will up the ante, and bring things to another level.”

“Everyone is asking what the new High on Fire music sounds like,” adds Kensel. “Chew on some mescaline and listen to side B of Sabbath’s “Master of Reality” backwards at 78 RPM and it might give you an idea.”

In addition to constructing the new album, HIGH ON FIRE has announced a handful of upcoming U.S. live dates as well as an Australian headlining tour and a European headlining trek. The Land of Oz trek will launch on July 16 in Brisbane and the Euro jaunt will kick off on July 23 in Germany and run through August 9 in London, England.

Previous to the out-of-country dates, HIGH ON FIRE will undertake a Chicago area residency that will begin on May 29 in Rock Island, IL. The band will then gig as one of the headliners of the Do-Division Street Fest on May 30 (w/ J Mascis, Bass Drum of Death, etc.) before back-to-back headlining shows at Chi-Town’s Empty Bottle on May 31 and June 1.
HIGH ON FIRE tour dates:

Mos Generator Launch Heavy Home Grown Series of DIY Releases

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 27th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

As they get ready to hit Germany’s Freak Valley festival this coming weekend and play to a sold-out crowd supporting their recent Listenable Records debut, Electric Mountain Majesty (review here), Port Orchard, Washington, heavy rock specialists Mos Generator have officially launched their Heavy Home Grown series of DIY releases. Guitarist/vocalist Tony Reed has issued an update with info on the series, which begins with a live set recorded at Nuemo’s in Seattle back in 2006 and a collection of demos from their past two albums, and frankly, it looks like an awesome project. The demos have already sold out on preorders, and both come with minimal-but-handmade packaging and band-written info about each release.

From producing his own stuff to overseeing art and more, Reed‘s always been a hands-on kind of guy, so this kind of thing was really inevitable, and for fans, a great way to dig deeper into what Mos Generator do while supporting them directly.

Dig it:

We have started a series of releases that will be called “Heavy Home Grown”. These packages will be very DIY and assembled by us. The first in the series is Mos Generator Live at Neumos in Seattle 3/17/2006. The second will be the “Electric Nomads” demos hand crafted Lps that are limited to 100 copies and are already sold out just on pre-orders. I have been digging through the vaults and gathering a lot of cool material for future releases.

We have recorded hundreds of shows over the years on audio and video and we would like to make some of the better performances available for those who are interested. There are also 14 years of demos laying around so this series could see quite a few releases. Each one will also have an insert with a few paragraphs about what is on the disc. -TR
