reason's greetings. we got a lot going on right now. at least more than usual. next shows coming up:
reason why finally plays baltimore. last time i saw no idols, it was at this very venue, and it fucked me up. I liked the demo a lot, but seeing them live was another level. hearing the vocalist yell to the crowd "burn this place down" sealed the deal. this one is fresh into the new year so hopefully it brings some good omens.
this one is fucking massive. the second street compilation LP comes out this weekend, a culmination of a diverse scene flexing their chops. there are three shows this weekend, with this one landing on the sunday, on january 18. this is also grand scheme's last show. you don't need me to tell you how incredible their run has been. we share a member with them, and borrow another occasionally (russ is basically in the band at this point), so knowing this is their end makes me feel like i'm watching my older brother go off to college or an oil rig off the coast of alaska. promise me you'll come back? this is your last chance to dance to one of the best bands of the last decade, so don't lag on picking up tickets.
beyond the scheme, this line up is fucking stacked. pray to be saved had one of the best demos (the best?) of the year, watching people mosh for retain makes me feel like i should be wearing a bulletproof vest, sluggo have a legendary track on the comp... there is so much to admire on this show. imagine holding a document of it on wax.
and fucking mouthpiece is coming down that weekend. can you believe that shit? and the glitterer record release? it's fucking insane pepe and vanessa at second street put this together. blood, sweat, no tears. you can find tickets here.
in RZN WHY world, expect to find a new promo tape at the sunday show. get the comp first though.
as a christmas treat, jonas has ranked every sepultura release for you to get angry at:
- arise
- beneath the remains
- schizophrenia
- chaos ad
- morbid visions
- roots
- against
- roorback
- nation
- a-lex
- machine messiah
- kairos
- quadra
- the mediator between head and hands must be the heart
- revolusongs
don't shoot the messenger. i'd probably rank chaos AD up top, but if you come up to me at a show and start talking death metal, i'm turning in a 180 degree direction and walking. i would like to take this moment though to say that max cavalera's brazilian flag guitar is a thing of beauty. it makes an appearance in the movie demonlover, which is incredible.
even more news coming up soon. i'll post even more about the show too. that's how sick it's gonna be.
peace on earth
