On Feb. 16, Bible Black Tyrant will release their debut album, Regret Beyond Death, via Argonauta Records, Cheddar Brothers Records and Anima Recordings. The seven-song/43-minute onslaught of sludge extremity is the latest in a line of studio projects conceived and directed by multi-instrumentalist Aaron D.C. Edge, whose pedigree includes the 2013 outing from Lumbar that […]

Bible Black Tyrant to Release Regret Beyond Death in Feb. 2018

Monday, September 4th, 2017

There’s no audio public yet, so you’re going to have to take my word for now that Bible Black Tyrant‘s upcoming debut album, Regret Beyond Death, is absolutely crushing. Claustrophobic in its tonality and atmosphere the whole way through. February is a long ways off, but with Aaron D.C. Edge (Lumbar, Roareth, Iamthethorn) at the […]

Who’s ready for another round of 10 reviews in The Obelisk’s Quarterly Review? I know I am. We gotta hit 50 by Friday, and there’s still a lot — a lot — of ground to cover. Yesterday was all over the place style-wise and today has some of that going as well, but there’s a […]

Minor Fret Release Debut 7″ Four

Monday, July 20th, 2015

It’s a concept project. Last month, when we heard from friend of the site Aaron Edge of Lumbar, Roareth and many, many others, it was the news that he’d broken his back mountain biking. And given his track record, it’s not surprising, then, that he’d have a new release out, “persistence” being his thing the […]

Aaron Edge of Lumbar Fractures Vertebra; Fundraiser Launched for Medical Expenses

Monday, June 8th, 2015

I try not to spend too much of other people’s money, because I know it’s a finite resource and because it is for me as well. However, we are also fortunate enough to live in an age where even passing off a couple bucks here 5and there can genuinely make a difference in someone’s existence. […]

Process Black Issues First Demo

Thursday, January 22nd, 2015

Any new endeavor from Aaron Edge is welcome by me. The many-banded guitarist — Roareth, iamthethorn, Rote Hexe, etc. — was last heard from in 2013 when he joined forces with YOB‘s Mike Scheidt and his former Brothers of the Sonic Cloth bandmate Tad Doyle for Lumbar‘s The First and Last Days of Unwelcome (review here), Edge has a new project going (always, it seems) with vocalist Tim Singer of Deadguy and Kiss it Goodbye. […]

Visual Evidence: Searing Limb’s Poster for St. Vitus Bar’s Aaron Edge Benefit Show March 26

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014

God. Damn. Quite a lineup, quite a poster. I’ll give credit to Hollow Leg‘s Brent Lynch who first brought my attention to the poster for his band’s March 26 gig at St. Vitus Bar in Brooklyn. The evening, on which Kings Destroy (fresh off their West Coast tour) headlines with Hollow Leg, Holly Hunt, Clamfight […]

Debut of the Year: Lumbar, The First and Last Days of Unwelcome

Monday, December 23rd, 2013

I know, I know. There’s been a pretty fair amount said about Lumbar‘s The First and Last Days of Unwelcome around here, from the announcement to the interview, album review, and best of list, and I can’t really promise this’ll be the last of it, but a few words and then I’ll leave it alone […]
