Death to All Tour. Gothic Theatre. 04.15.13

Death rode in on a pale white horse. Well, actually, the surviving members of the Human-era line-up of Death rode in on a bus while the city was being blanketed by pale white sheets of Spring snow. The roads into the city were not a pretty sight, as cars and trucks were slipping and sliding...

September more than made up for August’s lack of color.  Maybe there wasn’t anything as dense and mindblowing as The Seer, but I seriously doubt I could’ve handled another one of those anyway.  What follows is a fitting goodnight to the long days of summer.  And as much as I hate grouping these albums...

‘of grim eloquence’: Recommended Releases 07.12

Most of July was spent in transit, so my tastes might be skewed towards albums that sound good turned up loud while flying down the freeway, but that’s not to say there wasn’t variety in my roadtrip soundtrack.  The past month might have been heavy on metal, but it also saw exciting releases in...

Fiona-Apple

The first half of June was spent working on the mid-year review, so there wasn’t quite as much time for new music.  That being said, there are still quite a few recommendations from this month — a month dominated by metal and female vocalists, including one incredible metal album with a female vocalist.  And...

May was almost overwhelming in its presentation of new music.  Not only were there countless new releases, I also took the time to catch up on some of the metal I had been missing out on, making this a heavy month in recommendations.  And as much as I hate grouping these into posts like...

Heritage Hunter Tour.  Fillmore Auditorium. 04.23.12

The Heritage Hunter Tour brought three metal heavyweights back to Denver on Monday night.  The sea of black shirts could be seen migrating down Colfax to the Fillmore Auditorium before the sun began to set.  With a start time of 7:00pm printed on the tickets, those familiar with the Satanic stylings of Swedish revivalists...

‘take everything away’: Recommended Releases 02.12

February turned out to be a great month for music releases, and as much as I hate grouping recommendations into posts like this, other aspects of life are getting in the way of individual recommendations.  These types of posts will have to serve as ‘better than nothing’ for the time being. Perfume Genius –...

‘i like damage’: Recommended Releases 01.12

Cleveland's Cloud Nothings have arrived with Attack on Memory. There was no doubt this album would be my pick for this first month of 2012. It's inevitable that I miss out on a band at Fun Fun Fun fest every year and it seems 2011 was no exception. I had no...
