Tune In and ‘Burn On: Roadburn Festival 2013 Audio Streams (Ash Borer, Blues Pills, Endless Boogie, Golden Void and Satan’s Satyrs Among Others)

Posted: May 7, 2013 at 2:50 pm

Roadburn 2013 was an extravaganza of great bands from Alcest to Zodiac. Sometimes, trying to decide between shows (or get into the Green Room or Het Patronaat) was as hellish as anything screened during the Electric Acid Orgy Grindhouse Cinema. And if you couldn’t make it at all, well… Have ...read more

The Sleeping Shaman: Roadburn 2013 – Day 3 and Afterburner Review By Saúl Do Caixão

Posted: May 3, 2013 at 12:27 pm

The Friday had been an absolute pinnacle of Roadburn’s history, and this left a rather daunting task to the bands booked to play the Saturday and Sunday’s Afterburner. Of course, it was essentially an act that was impossible to follow, but there were enough bands that stood out enough to ...read more

The Sleeping Shaman: Roadburn 2013 – Day 2 Review By Saúl Do Caixão

Posted: May 2, 2013 at 3:25 pm

Friday the 19th of April 2013 is liable to be a day I shall remember with great fondness for many years to come. I don’t think I’ve ever had a whole day at a festival that was as universally enjoyable on all fronts as this one. I saw some bands ...read more

The Sleeping Shaman: Roadburn 2013 – Day 1 Review By Saúl Do Caixão

Posted: May 2, 2013 at 3:15 pm

There are many ways you can speak of the Roadburn experience – a pilgrimage to the riff-filled land, a celebration of Heavy in its various guises or even just a straight-up music festival. Personally, I consider it a joyous meeting of some of the nicest characters and freaks to be ...read more

The Obelisk: Roadburn 2013 Afterburner Recap by JJ Koczan

Posted: May 2, 2013 at 3:00 pm

My watch alarm went off at 13.00 to serve notice that it was time to wake up, get cleaned up and head back over to the 013 for Astra kicking off the traditional Afterburner, the final, pared-down day of Roadburn 2013. I hadn’t fallen asleep until after seven, could hear ...read more

Before Black Magician went on at Het Patronaat to start off day three of Roadburn 2013 and the final day of the fest proper (the ceremonial Afterburner is tomorrow with two stages instead of four-plus), there was a showing of Costin Chioreanu‘s animated short film, Outside the Great Circle, which ...read more

The Obelisk: Roadburn 2013 Day Two Recap by JJ Koczan

Posted: May 2, 2013 at 10:05 am

I was early to Het Patronaat for the start of day two of Roadburn 2013. Stupid early, as the kids might say. Dread Sovereign – the new and doomly trio from Primordial vocalist Alan Averill and drummer Simon O’Laoghaire, also with Bones on guitar — were going on until 14.00, ...read more

The Day After The Sabbath Vol 87:
Do I Look High Posted On Line
Posted: May 9, 2013 at 10:05 am
TDATS 87

The Day After The Sabbath is a blog specialising in regular compilations of obscure heavy 60s and 70s rock. It’s Rich’ aim to reveal the secret world of bands that were inspired by the early psychedelic, doom and hard rock greats but were too short-lived, un-commercial or just plain unlucky ...read more

Album of the day:
Spiritual Beggars – Earth Blues
Posted: April 7, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Spiritual Beggars - Earth Blues

Lovingly pinched from ThisIsNotAScene: Hard to believe that this year sees Spiritual Beggars celebrating 20 years as a band. Formed after guitarist Michael Amott left death / grind legends Carcass, the band took a more relaxed approach to their metal, playing 70′s-inspired hard rock with psychedelic and stoner influences, with Earth ...read more

Blaak Heat Shujaa – The Edge of an Era

blaak-heat-shujaa-lp-cover

Lovingly pinched from The Obelisk: Since the release of their 2010 self-titled debut, Blaak Heat Shujaa have moved from Paris to Los Angeles — with a stop in New York City as well for a time — have honed their desert rocking chops on tours with Fatso Jetson and Yawning ...read more

Album of the day:
Encircling Sea – A Forgotten Land
Posted: April 5, 2013 at 2:31 pm
Encircling Sea - A Forgotten Land

Lovingly pinched from Last Rites: Here’s the thing: You’ve probably heard this before. Australia’s Encircling Sea grafts earthy black metal themes and musical motifs onto a bedrock of lengthy clean doom structures and sweeping post-rock. So, while the band’s sound is altogether more lilting and pastoral than Wolves in the Throne ...read more

Melvins – Everybody Loves Sausages

Melvins - Everybody Loves Sausages

Lovingly pinched from The Sleeping Shaman: Ask several discerning Melvins fans which of the group’s two dozen (well, something like that, I’ve lost count!) albums they consider the best, you’ll most likely get several wildly different answers. But then this isn’t any “normal” rock group; this is the Melvins, credited with ...read more
