TRACK PREMIERE: DREADNOUGHT CALLS YOU “WITHIN CHANTING WATERS”
July 19, 2017 Shawn Macomber
On its brilliant boundary-annihilating upcoming third full-length A Wake in Sacred Waves — out vial Sailor Records in October — Denver quartet Dreadnought delivers a deftly executed, completely entrancing sonic amalgamation that calls to mind everything from Bergtatt-era Ulver, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Kate Bush to Slint, June of ’44, Sabbath at its psychedelic doom-iest. This particular Rocky Mountain High has got the raining-fire-in-the-sky blast beats, guttural vocals, and fuzzed out nasty riffs, but also serious grooves and softer-than-a-lullabye ethereal croons, mandolin, flute, and saxophone.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT & TRACK STREAM: CHAD STROUP’S “SECRETS OF THE WEIRD”
July 12, 2017 Shawn Macomber
In his exhilarating, consciousness-mutating debut novel Secrets of the Weird, Chad Stroup fuses a kaleidoscopic embrace of the surreal and fantastical with a punk hardcore velocity and sensibility — think Twin Peaks meets Damaged or David Cronenberg adapting I Against I. Which is why it is not all that surprising when a Minor Threat-esque band dubbed Civilized Cannibals materializes amongst the tome’s motley crew of willful outcasts, reluctant protagonists, and apocalyptic cultists.

TRACK PREMIERE: HEAR MRTVI CHANNEL THE ABYSS ON “NEGATIVE ATONAL DISSONANCE”
July 5, 2017 Shawn Macomber
The UK/Serbian MRTVI describes itself as a “one-man black metal project concerned with exploring the negative dissonance and atonality of the aural and emotional spectrum,” secured the Facebook URL “/sustainedthroughdeath,” and has whittled its about section to a single Tolstoy quote: “I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless” — which is a pretty steep goddamn self-created mountain of malcontent to scale. And yet “Negative Atonal Dissonance” — the long, dark sonic journey streamed exclusively below from the album of the same name out July 30 via Transcending Obscurity — manages to accomplish just that.
