Buried Inside

Nothing was really catching my eye as far as brand new metal media this week (..maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough?), so I’ve decided to dig back into my vault for this week’s Sunday Metal Minute. In addition to acknowledging my deep love of doom metal, this post serves to honor the date that Buried Inside hasscheduled w/ Battlefields at the 7th St. Entry on July 16th (which we announced earlier this week); download below and listen in to Buried Inside’s “Time As Imperialism” from 2004’s earth-shattering Chronoclast opus.

Besides the fact the the lineup is rounded out by a who’s-who of must-see local doom metal acts (Battlefields, Frontier, and Lungs), the appearance by Buried Inside alone will make this a metal show to sonically annihilate all other metal shows this summer, and I believe is pretty solid evidence.. Enjoy, and I hope to see you all at the show!

Sunday Metal Song: transmission0 – “Cocoon”

Posted in Sunday Metalhead Minute with tags , , on Sunday, December 14, 2008 by Ryan Buege

It’s Sunday, many people who have the day off, and it’s the last chance to unwind before the shit starts hitting the fan on Monday again. As such, I decided to create a (hopefully) recurring column that fits the mood of how most of my Sunday’s go. For the 2 people who read this blog who enjoy metal, these weekly song profiles should give you a should give you a good chance to get a full session in and I hope it will be to your liking! To everyone else who reads this blog and doesn’t listen to metal, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN ALONG – I’m trying to pick songs that would be appealing to stoners in general, and hopefully some of this will open you up to some good metal that you can be proud to enjoy.

Start  things off with a cut from transmission0, an inactive German sludge metal band with a taste for abrasive balls to the walls hardcore. Unfortunately, transmission0 never got much of  a following outside their homeland of Germany before they called it quits, but they were very well respected by anyone who knew them for their organic (yet brutal) sound. The album opener “Cocoon” is a fine intro for anyone who missed them. A meandering piece of powerful sludge encrusted in throat-shredding vocals, soaring guitarwork, and mind numbing transitions. There’s a lot to be appreciated about the soul-stirring effects of their skilled implementation of full-on Pink Floyd style murky, foreboading electronic ambience. Enjoy!
