IRON TONGUE: Debut Album Set For Release Via Neurot; New Track Posted

Thursday, May 23rd, 2013

In less than a week, IRON TONGUE will proudly present their debut full-length The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown to the public via Neurot Recordings.

Set to hit North American store shelves this Tuesday, May 28th, The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown harnesses over forty-five minutes of seven-piece Arkansas-based outfit IRON TONGUE’s soulful, bluesy, and undeniably honest modern take on classic American rock, each track a legit tale of sorrow, regret and painful days past, as well as a harbinger of more rough days to come. The stories were chronicled by Billy Anderson (Melvins, Sleep, Neurosis, etc) at Wolfman Studios, owned by guitarist Jason Tedford, the band completed by guitarist Mark Chiaro, bassist Andy Warr, drummer Stan James, keyboardist JR Top, vocalist Stephanie Smittle, and fronted by Rwake vocalist Chris “CT” Terry.

In preparation of its release, a brand new hymn from The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown is available, as Invisible Oranges unfurls the LP’s gritty fourth track “Moon Unit.”

Comments James, “This tune has all facets of IRON TONGUE on display and showcases some of our influences. We are stoked to give you ‘Moon Unit’ to chew on until the record is out next week!

Check out “Moon Unit” now playing AT THIS LOCATION.

If that’s not enough, catch up with the album’s previously-released singles with “Lioness” streaming via Classic Rock Magazine HERE, and also with “7 Days” hosted at The Obelisk HERE. Pre-order The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown at THIS LOCATION.

In a slow and steady stint of regional live appearances, IRON TONGUE have a pair of record release shows confirmed over the coming days, including an acoustic set in Bryant, Arkansas on release day, Tuesday, May 28th, followed by a full-lineup gig in Little Rock on Friday, May 31st. Additional tour dates will be announced in the near future.

IRON TONGUE Live:
5/28/2013 M.F. Music – Bryant, AR w/ J. Baker *IRON TONGUE acoustic set
5/31/2013 White Water Tavern – Little Rock, AR IRON TONGUE Record Release Show

“With its heart in blues and its soul in metal, this cathartic crusher, hammered out by a mélange of Arkansas veteran musicians, pays due deference to its forbears. Initially, the music bears a strong resemblance to the recent batch of Townes Van Zandt covers, perpetrated by doom Illuminati Steve Von Till, Wino and Scott Kelly. Brief bursts of it emerge as Iron Tongue roughly feed their country affectations and hefty, blues-tinged rock through the chomping maw of old school doom metal in much the same manner. However, there is no getting away from where much of this album’s running time is spent; playing between the twin forces of St. Vitus and The Allman Brothers Band.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

SHAI HULUD Announces Shows With Earth Crisis, Early Graves + More

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

After completing an extremely successful tour of Europe supporting Propagandhi, followed by a headlining tour, hardcore legends SHAI HULUD have returned to the states and are preparing for their next set of confirmed shows. In July, fans on the East Coast will be treated to a handful of shows featuring Earth Crisis as part of their Firestorm 20th Anniversary Tour. Additional support for the East Coast portion of the tour will be from Thy Will Be Done and White Widows. Additional SHAI HULUD shows have been confirmed for June, and July, including an appearance at Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, Quebec. For the complete listing, see below, or visit facebook.com/shaihulud.

SHAI HULUD’s Matt Fox reflects on 2013: “2013 has been a banner year for SHAI HULUD, and it’s not even Summer yet. Seeing the release of Reach Beyond The Sun, touring Australia as a part of the Soundwave Festival (headlined by Metallica – pretty much the reason we play heavy music) and having just returned from Europe after a tour with one of our favorite bands, Propagandhi, has made this year thus far both a blur and a dream, or one and the same depending on how well you remember your dreams, if you can remember them at all. 2013 is one dream we won’t soon forget, etched further into our memory receptors – if there are such things – with the dates we confirmed with Earth Crisis, a huge and direct influence on the formation and existence of SHAI HULUD. This is a special year for us, and we’re grateful not only to share it with those who find something in our music that speaks to them, but also with so many of the bands whose music has spoken, and still speaks to us.”

In other news, French metal vocalist Rachel Aspe, known across the internet for her appearance on France’s Got Talent, has posted a vocal cover of SHAI HULUD’s “Reach Beyond the Sun.” The track can be heard on Aspe’s youtube channel: youtube.com/rachelaspemetal.

Stay up to date with SHAI HULUD’s updates from the road via their newest official social network, instagram! Fans can find them simply at instagram.com/shaihuludofficial.

ČERNÁ: Exclusive Track Premiere Brought To You By New Noise Magazine

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013


In anticipation of its impending release next week, today New Noise Magazine offers up a stream of “Restoring Life” from instrumental, post-blackened solo project, ČERNÁ.

The tune comes by way of ČERNÁ’s debut of the same name. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2011 by Cody McCoy of ambient prog exhibitionists The Omega Experiment, ČERNÁ is a cerebral, multi-dimensional sound expedition self-described as “a musical expression of the many elements missing in modern music today…” Emotionally stirring by design, Restoring Life was recorded in Tecumseh, Michigan with engineer Ashton Parsons and centers itself around the perpetual hardships of existence through its consuming layers of sonic darkness. At once melancholic yet nostalgic, the record delivers voiceless hymns of self-reflection, the changing seasons and the harsh realism of love and loss.

“I recorded this album in about 10 days. I was incredibly rushed and forced to perform twelve-hour sessions on the regular,” McCoy elaborates. “It was incredibly stressful at first but as the album came together I lost track of all time and was overwhelmed with excitement. It was such a surreal feeling, hearing my music played back to me… Though I did find myself over contemplating things as well as re-writing entire sections. This would typically happen at about 5:00 am. I’m guessing it was because I was delusional, starving and exhausted. These sort of things happen when you’re sitting in a studio that long, pumping every ounce of creativity you have into a four-bar section.”

Hear “Restoring Life” at THIS LOCATION.

Restoring Life will be released via Domestic Genocide Records on May 28, 2013. For preorder bundles in the US point your browser to THIS LOCATION. In Europe, go HERE.

THINNING THE HERD Breaks Down Freedom From The Known With Album Stream

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Freedom From The Known, the sophomore full-length from NYC trio THINNING THE HERD, is now available on CD and via iTunes with additional digital outlets to follow, released via the band’s own Saint Marks Records. Therefore, This Is Not A Scene is broadcasting Freedom From The Known in its entirety, paired with a lively summary of the album’s foundation and what’s transformed within the band between the album’s initial inspiration, the inception and completion of the album, and the hardships they endured bringing it to fruition.

Get down with THINNING THE HERD’s transcendentalist ideology and full-on stream of the genre-defiant Freedom From The Known at This Is Not A Scene RIGHT HERE.

Physical copies of Freedom From The Known can be purchased alongside other new THINNING THE HERD merch via the band directly at the TTH website, or via iTunes.

THINNING THE HERD will perform regionally and through the Summer months in support of Freedom From The Known including a show at Brooklyn’s Grand Victory with Los Letharios on May 30th, and more to be announced in the coming days.

THINNING THE HERD Live:
5/30/2013 Grand Victory – Brooklyn, NY w/ Los Letharios

Founding THINNING THE HERD vocalist/guitarist Gavin Spielman had replaced the crew on debut full-length, Oceans Rise, recruiting a new rhythm section in 2012 with bassist Wes Edmonds and drummer Rick Cimato (ex-Locked In A Vacancy). The new lineup traveled to Chicago last Summer to record the sophomore album Freedom From The Known at Electrical Audio Studios with Steven Albini, and as they were preparing to release the new album, Rick Cimato was tragically killed in a head-on collision over the 2012 holiday season. Mourning the loss of their friend, Spielman and Edmonds hosted several local listening parties of the album for local fans and friends to honor Rick and his family, and then recruited local drummer Garth Macaleavey to carry the new material and TTH as a whole forward.

HARM WÜLF: Solo Venture By Blacklisted Frontman To See Release Via Deathwish

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Coming to Deathwish Records’ forward-thinking roster of hardcore acts early this Summer is a release that stands in heavy contrast from its peers, as the label prepares to set loose the debut release from eclectic Philadelphia-based entity HARM WÜLF.

From a vagabond spirit rooted within dissimilar worlds, but both yielding a dim outlook, HARM WÜLF perpetuates a vagabond emotiveness; a non-complacent style of America. Fusing elements from multiple genres and eras into something both classic and contemporary, HARM WÜLF is the bedroom musical entity of G. Hirsch. Known for his moving lyrical and vocal contributions in Philadelphia’s hardcore purveyors Blacklisted, Hirsch’s debut solo venture There’s Honey In The Soil So We Wait For The Till is a collection of songs which touch upon the dark and rustic themes of solitude and aging disappointment, songs inspired by a wide range of artists, from the tranquil resonance of Low, rhythmic acoustic strumming of Strength Through Joy and the ascending power of Angels Of Light, to the insular, grotesque Americana of Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O’Connor. At most times the passages are sparse and austere, others are apocalyptically orchestrated, the album intertwining elements of sadness and strength, and casting a foreboding outlook on tomorrow.

Following his debut live show in Philly, Hirsch will bring HARM WÜLF to the live setting again in the coming weeks, laying the path for the release of There’s Honey In The Soil So We Wait For The Till, with a trio of California gigs supporting cohorts Nails, Xibalba, Power Trip and Palm, preceded by a hometown show in Philly this Sunday, May 26th with hometown shoegaze act Nothing.

Stay tuned for updates on HARM WÜLF live actions, more music from There’s Honey In The Soil So We Wait For The Till and more in the coming weeks.

HARM WÜLF Live:
5/26/2013 Gunners Run – Philadelphia, PA w/ Nothing
6/07/2013 Gilman – Berkeley, CA w/ Nails, Xibalba, Power Trip, Palm
6/08/2013 The Echo – Los Angeles, CA w/ Nails, Xibalba, Power Trip, Palm
6/09/2013 Unit B – Santa Ana, CA w/ Nails, Xibalba, Power Trip, Palm

Deathwish has released the sixth track from There’s Honey In The Soil So We Wait For The Till, “Spectrum Blues.”

FULL OF HELL: Month-Long U.S. Tour Assault Begins Tomorrow

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Pennsylvania/Maryland-based noise/hardcore revolutionaries FULL OF HELL will embark on their most intense run of their heavyweight 2013 tour itinerary this week, as the act’s month-long American assault in support of their second LP Rudiments Of Mutilation is set to set Long Island ablaze tomorrow evening.

Following the tour’s start, subsequent shows as part of this year’s Maryland Deathfest, Chaos In Tejas and more are to follow, including a string of shows alongside the mighty Integrity followed by more than two weeks of shows alongside Seven Sisters of Sleep, possibly the only time SSOS will ever fully tour. Just one month after the wicked U.S. trek, FULL OF HELL will invade Europe for a three-week bombardment of the continent alongside Circle Takes the Square and Code Orange Kids.

Now just three weeks from its official release into the populous, Rudiments Of Mutilation is undoubtedly a contender for most scathing album of the year, as FULL OF HELL’s bestial power and corrosive elements continue to become more apparent. Through their barrage of whiplashing psycho-drone feedback holes and noise-drenched pedal attacks a noxious brew of Converge and Pageninetynine gone the ways of Bastard Noise and Discordance Axis, Rudiments Of Mutilation proves to be the band’s most incapacitating material yet. Recorded with Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations and mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Old, Phantomsmasher), Rudiments Of Mutilation captures the incredible conviction the young crew culminate live, catapulting their energetic hatesurge into the audience and inspiring riotous angst amongst the humans.

Stay tuned as FULL OF HELL prepares for the release of their first official video in the coming days, in addition to new tour updates and more. Rudiments Of Mutilation will hit the streets on June 11, 2013 worldwide via A389 Recordings.

FULL OF HELL U.S. Tour:
5/22/2013 The Zebra Club – Copiague, NY w/ New Lows, Homewrecker

TRAIL OF TEARS: Norwegian Goth Act’s 7th Album Nears North American Release

Monday, May 20th, 2013

Following its recent European release, Oscillation, the grand seventh studio full-length from Norwegian Gothic/dark metal masters TRAIL OF TEARS, is set for North American release via Massacre Records on June 11th.

After experimenting under the moniker Natt for several years, TRAIL OF TEARS was officially born in 1997, immediately took root in the European circuit and has infiltrated audiences internationally more and more with each album. Over a decade the band released six powerful full-length albums boasting their premier style of foreboding but beautiful melodic metal, the debut album released via DSFA Records, and the following five through Napalm Records. They’ve continued to tour heavily and steadily for their entire career thus far, not only spanning the European continent several times with Tristania, Sins Of Thy Beloved, Cradle Of Filth, Biohazard and others, but also two tours of Mexico and a full tour of Canada and the United States, not to mention the endless list of European festivals the band has performed at.

Having signed with Germany’s Massacre Records to handle the release of their newest album, the band began the writing process in 2011, and as with previous efforts, returned to Sound Suite Studio in Marseille, France to once again record with Terje Refsnes. After a long and torturous recording session and a pristine mastering job by Mika Jussila at Finnvox (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Children Of Bodom, Eternal Tears Of Sorrow), TRAIL OF TEARS now proudly unveils their most magnificent album to date, with the mighty hour-long masterpiece, Oscillate.

Listen to the album’s massive title track and view the cover artwork by Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (Apocalyptica, Manowar, Legion Of The Damned, Korpiklaani, Impaled Nazarene, Stratovarius) HERE:


Oscillate Track Listing:
1. Waves Of Existence
2. Scream Out Loud
3. Crimson Leads On The Trail Of Tears
4. Oscillation
5. Path Of Destruction
6. Vultures Guard My Shadow
7. The Dawning
8. Room 306
9. Our Grave Philosophy
10. Lost In Life
11. Eradicate
12. Sleep Forever [bonus track]
13. Quick Fix Of Shame [bonus track]

DRUNK DAD: New Brew From Portland Sludge Squad On Tap At Pitchfork

Monday, May 20th, 2013

As Portland’s bastardized brew crew DRUNK DAD prepares to belt the public right in the mouth with their Morbid Reality 12” via Eolian Empire on June 11th, today the enablers over at Pitchfork want you to start off the week with a total bender, cracking open a new track from the EP.

Bail early, drink on the job or do whatever you gotta’ do, but be prepared to pay DRUNK DAD the “Scum Fee” RIGHT HERE.

The band recently spilled “S.O.U.” from Eolian’s massive KEEP OUR HEADS comp available HERE.

If they weren’t such dirty fuckers they’d be one of the town’s shining success stories of unrelenting hard work and dedication: in a surprisingly short time DRUNK DAD went from favorite-band-shirts-on-their-hearts-on-their-sleeves to a unique and dynamic fusion of the heavy, the noisy, and the aggro, with a healthy dose of high drama, as they consistently churn out some of the most devastating live sets Portland has seen in years. Complex but in-your-face arrangements, push-pull duel-guitar interplay, searing behind-the-head leads, heavy motherfucking bass, and hard-hitting, tight, technical traps with dynamic, disturbing vocals to hold it all together evolves to ethical scumbaggery at its finest. Their first vinyl release, Morbid Reality merges off-kilter sludge/noise the Pacific Northwest perpetuates so well into a drugged-out but aggro vibe; elements of scathing crust-ish degenerate punk brutality are cold-filtered with slow-motion acerbic sludge basslines and noxious riffage with a post-Melvins experimental vibe.

DRUNK DAD is currently getting their shit together for a July tour with local brethren Big Black Cloud, and in the meantime plan on meandering around Pacific Northwest dive bars, with several June gigs locked and more shows coming together.
