Boris - Vein (for Friday the 13th)
Boris - Vein
Oh My God! I had to add this extra post today for two reasons; 1. Boris fucking rules, they are "Japan's Highest Ranked Ampgods" and they are one of my favorite bands. 2. It is Friday the 13th and this is the perfect thing to post on such a spooky day.
This record is an Ultra-limited, Vinyl-only release from Important Records. It came out at the end of last month and it is already Sold-Out! I dont even have a record player anymore, so I couldnt have listened to this release without the help of Mr.A over at Wine-Women-Song. You should visit his site as he has one of the best blogs going today and he has impeccable tastes that range from avante-garde to doom metal and other experimental musicians. I am sure you can get lost for days at his page. Be sure to thank him as he is the reason I can offer this to you now.
As for a Boris release, this is instantly one of the best. This is their most Thrash oriented release, fast and punk, squawling and screeching and crashing with no regard for eardrums whatsoever. Samples, feedback and all hell breaking loose and damn if it doesnt make you move. It comes highly reccommended to all fans of Doom Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Thrash, Grind, Death Metal, and even the adventurous Rock and Roll fan. This one is seriously NOT TO BE MISSED. Thanks again, Mr.A.
While youre at it, check out Southern Lord Records for other Boris releases including the massive new album, Altar (a Boris/ Sunn O))) collaboration) as well as other tasty slices of Doom such as Sunn O))), Earth, Goatsnake and Lair of the Minotaur. They are the premier Stoner/Doom label going right now.

so far, you've been on a hard-core, post-punk, and all that jazz streak, but you mentioned that the last time we exchanged meeages. i've never heard of this band, and am eager to check it out. it's a few hours past fri. the 13th, but i'm still feeling a bit risky today. great blog, by the way!

blend 77, thanks for the advice and you're most welcom for the Fugazi link! if you guys haven't checked the Trade Friendly Bands list out yet, do so. i was surprised by a lot of what i saw on there. i was afraid at first that it would be mostly jam bands, but there's a good mix. thanks for the provided link and i'm sure i'll put it to good use.
one thing about me: i know very little about labels, in the sense that if someone tells me it's (punk/ thrash/ stoner/ shoegaze), that tells me little. i do appreciate the education. really, i'm here to learn about new bands that i may not usually listen to. i'm sure there will be a good prtion i don't like, but that won't take away from my objective opinions. i'm one of those wierd people that owns a considerable amount of music that i personally don't enjoy, but know there is something amazing about it. feel free to always let me know what styles you're talking about, but if you're short on time, you can always rest easy, because i'm just starting to have an idea what many of them mean. if anyone wants me to repost the links to the trade friendly's just say so. i'll do it anyhow from time to time to make sure people get it.
--cari saluti da brandon
okay, blend77, now i get what you mean a little more. i had to go to the link first. still don't get terms like 'shoegaze' and so on. i've heard it, but it draws a blank. it's like 'emo,' i think i know what it is, i've had it explained to me a thousand times, and everytime i hear a new band that someone tells me 'it's emo' it sounds different than all the other albums i've heard with that label. all this expansion of terms business took place while i was in germany. i can tell you easily the difference between UK, french, and german house music (although you find any of these acts labeled under the generic term 'house'), but know little of the american name game. thanks again for the links. i'll select a few. already getting ready for 'feedbacker.'
