mostly because i'm in a listening rut.
i've been getting a bunch of emails from bands who want their shit spread around so i might as well do my part. these are three of the more worthy bands. i really recommend downloading all three albums.

they put out their fifth album called "Heliogabalus" last year.
i'm listening to it now actually and....well. fuck. it's really good.
it's a single 70 minute long song filled with doom and drone and i can say it's for fans of music like blutch, maybe. and there's a little bit of mare in there, for those of you who remember that band.
what's also remarkable is the packaging for this album...i'm a huge nerd when it comes to stuff like that but i think it's worthy of mention. black on black with a red sealing wax? yes, please.
i recommend this highly. for whatever the shit that's worth.

it's....black metal. ish. it's not bad. kind of thrashy, kind of chuggy, kind of melodic. with a few slow parts. sounds like it would be schizophrenic sounding but they blend everything together well.
also. i like the cover art.

last band is called passenger.
these guys are friends with WUSS, a band that we reviewed and posted here a while back.
they call themselves a 'hardcore / punk band with a heavy shoe-gaze influence.'
i usually hate things that might be labelled hardcore or punk, but i really dig this a lot. i can't say that there's nothing out there like this because i don't know, but i've certainly never heard a combination of those genres done so well.
the last track is particularly awesome.
listen.

let us know what you think.
