Thanks to You Ain’t No Picasso and JP’s Blog for the tip-off on this one. For a live bootleg the quality is pretty good, so it’s an enjoyable listen for sure. You know what you’re getting into with Grizzly Bear, I’m still not a huge fan but hopefully some of you out there enjoy this. I still can’t listen to “Knife”.

Sunday Metal Minute: Irepress, “Cyette Phiur”

Posted in Sunday Metalhead Minute with tags boston, dark castle, fargo, irepress, live, Metal, minnesota, post-rock, progressive, shoegaze, sol eye sea i, SXSW, thresholds of imbalance, triple rock social club, vernal pool on Monday, February 2, 2009 by Ryan Buege

For these final minutes of your Sunday evening, I highly encourage you to light up, kick back, and enjoy this adventurous new track of polyrhythmic progressive/post metal from Boston, MA group Irepress. The group’s press sheet states that the band will “readily find appeal with fans of Battles, Cynic and Explosions in the Sky alike”, and I’m inclined to agree with it. While much of the song vibes off of Meshuggah-esque abstract brutality and dissonant hardcore, “Cyette Phiur” is a shoegaze/post-rock epic at its heart. I never thought I would be able to say that I really enjoyed a song integrates both gang vocals AND a string section, but when it works (as it does here) I’ll be the first to admit it. It’s rare that a progressive metal band sounds so at home in such foreign territory, and they’ve got me interested to see what other ideas they’ve pulled together. So far it sounds genius..

Listen: “Cyette Phiur” (from Sol Eye Sea I, in stores 2/17)

Also worthy of note is that Irepress and Fargo, ND (..almost MPLS..) post-metal prodigies Battlefields will soon be heading out on a massive U.S. tour to support the release of their new albums including a 4 day stint in Austin, TX for SXSW. They’ll be in the metro on March 11th for a show with Dark Castle and Vernal Pool. Keep reading for all the tour dates… Continue reading →

Sunday Metal Video: Sepultura, “Arise (Live in Barcelona, 1991)”

Posted in Sunday Metalhead Minute with tags a-lex, cavalera conspiracy, live, roadrunner records, sepultura, under siege on Monday, January 19, 2009 by Ryan Buege

Sepultura, is releasing their next album A-Lex this week (their first without a contribution from EITHER Cavalera brother, who have now rejoined together in the band Cavalera Conspiracy). Although Sepultura 2.0 has undeniably made an exceptionally good album, Sepultura with the Cavalera brothers was untouchable. In fact, I would confidently stand behind the statement that 1989-1996 era Sepultura provided the greatest output of any metal band of all-time. Today, we take a look back at the band to their peak to celebrate this unbelievable, visionary band.. this is their classic “Arise” taken from Sepultura’s original VHS release, Under Siege.

NIN leaks 405 GB of live video online

Posted in Music News with tags free, live, nine inch nails, Video on Friday, January 9, 2009 by Ryan Buege

Trent Reznor truly is the man of the future. ..Really I bet this guy is having more fun continuously pleasing and exciting his fanbase than anyone you can imagine. From NIN.com this week:

The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the footage is excellent.

If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I’ll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.

Oh yeah, you didn’t hear this from me.

Videos of the show are already starting to pop up on the bands forum, and as time goes on, it’s presumable we’ll see some even better releases. In the meantime, Reznor’s fans will keep waiting to see what he’ll do next as they enjoy their free FAN CREATED concert dvds. Visit This One Is On Us to read more about the project.

Pavement: Minneapolis 6/11/92

Posted in Music News with tags 1992, live, minneapolis, mp3, Pavement, Stephen Malkmus on Friday, December 19, 2008 by Erik Burg

The fine people over at an Aquarium Drunkard have dug up a magnificent collection of live Pavement collection from back in their prime circa 1992. The 30 track set features plenty of highlights for any Pavement fan out there, I’m not huge on them but I know my man Alteezimo will be digging this for sure.

Considered one of the greatest bands of all time, Pavement have been all over the map lately with re-releases and rare material surfacing.

Hop on over to the original article and grab some mp3s and read up a little more on the concert.

Concert Photo Recap: Today is the Day, Count Vesuvius, Ambassador Gun @ the Turf Club

Posted in Concert Reviews with tags ambassador gun, count vesuvius, david hall, live, minnesota, st. paul, today is the day, turf club on Thursday, November 20, 2008 by Ryan Buege

The date was Saturday, November 15th for experimental metal (underground legends) band Today is the Day‘s headling performance at the Turf Club in St. Paul with local crust/grind stalwarts Ambassador Gun and psychedelic doom prodigies Count Vesuvius. Despite being vastly underattended, the opening bands were AMAZING (..seriously, check them out)..) and the main set was a brilliant showcase of Today is the Day’s most recent album Axis of Eden set to feature film directed by David Hall. For nearly 2 decades, Steve Austin and Today is the Day have been redefining and expanding the definition of music, and even the performance that night redefined how a metal band can present a new album to its audience. The videos played throughout the performance were shockingly realistic, stark, and beautiful – the perfect mindfuck to complement the music of Today is the Day, a band that has embodied and defined this imagery ever since their early days on local AmRep.

While I didn’t capture any video, I’ve got a pretty spectacular photo gallery from the night!
