At the end of this post, you will find a list of tour dates. These dates are for the one and only Converge, who will be packing the van and hitting the blacktop in April for two weeks. Loma Prieta and Git Some (which features former members of Planes Mistaken For Stars) will open. Select Read More
The first instrument to get recorded for any album is usually the drums. Gotta lay down a base first, you know what I mean? So, it’s a good sign that the drum tracks for the new Converge disc are tracked. That means we’re not that far away from getting new Converge, which is called All Read More
Yes sir. Would I lie to you, you butt man, you? Massachusetts’ own hardcore metal moguls Converge entered guitarist Kurt Ballou’s Godcity studios in Salem, Massachusetts, today (January 23) to start tracking their new album, All We Love We Leave Behind. This is probably old news to you by now, but you know what? I Read More
They’re done. High On Fire are done recording their forthcoming album. Oh happy fucking day! I can’t wait to hear it. Really I can’t. My asshole is already puckering in wanton anticipation of the new disc. The album was produced by Converge’s Kurt Ballou.

Man, I am fucking slacking lately. Sorry kids. Today is basically my one day off from the day job, so I fucking slept in. Until 11. Fucking crazy, I know…but my bed is basically softer than labia and I have these curtains that basically black out my entire bedroom. I also have an alarm clock Read More
For some reason, all the other sites are getting all ball tingly over the fact that High on Fire are recording. But we knew earlier this month the dudes were in the studio tracking. Welcome to the fucking party, gentlemen. High on Fire is in Salem, Massachusetts’ GodCity Studios with producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Read More
This is kind of awesome! Just like Clutch, Norwegian blackened punk metal outfit Kvelertak have brewed their own beer, which they’ve christened Kvelerbier. The beer will be on sale exclusively at the band’s Vienna, Austria, concert at Szene on December 3. Fucking bummer. I live at least a 300 days walk from Vienna. The beer Read More
