  • Jay Gorania’s SXSW 2010 – Part 1

    … point viewed from downtown, one can literally see the University of Texas, as well as the university’s tower upon which a deranged student was perched when he was responsible for 14 murders in the 1966 tower sniper massacre. On a less dismal note, one can also see the 6th Street area, one of the…

  • Jay H. Gorania’s SXSW 2011 – Part 2

    … he sounds. His singing was essentially some kind of twisted rambling or story telling-like session layered atop the well-played, ’70s hard rock-based, prototypical doom metal. They’ve been at it for years, and they still have it. Metal ’til death. It was a great year for metal and heavy music at SXSW, even though I…

  • Roadside Bombs – War On Love 7”

    … over again. On the B-side, Roadside Bombs trades its Misfits/Danzig chops and digs a little deeper into the proverbial tombs to exhume some shaky, Heartbreakers-esque swagger which, while vintage, does not feel stiff in the slightest. In fact, it could easily be argued that “Looking” is the more accessible song of the two on…

  • Ulthar – Helionomicon Review

    … absolutely no exception. I am confident in saying that they are the best death metal project of the past few years. Comprised of only three members and centered around cosmic horror and abstract themes, Ulthar consists of Steve Peacock on bass and vocals (Spirit Possession), Justin Ennis on drums (ex-Tombs, ex-Void Omnia) and Shelby…

    … than beefy and rich. The performances added by rhythm guitarist Craig Fairbaugh, bassist Jason Woods and drummer Scott Abels stay true to that too, and Fairbaugh sticks close to Frederiksen while Abels keeps his sticks off of the cymbals perched on his drum kit for the most part, relying on toms, snare and kick…
