Video: Old Man Gloom - "The Lash"

Late in 2014 super group Old Man Gloom released their latest record, Ape of God, to much acclaim in the “metal underground.” Now in 2015 we get a video for lead “single” "The Lash." The clip was directed by Andrew Cox who of course also makes music under the names Axed Crown and Andraus.

Listen: Old Man Gloom - "The Lash"

Metal super group, Old Man Gloom, who feature,  Aaron Turner, Santos Montano, Nate Newton and Caleb Scofield, are back with a new record, The Ape Of God,  on November 11th via SIGE and Profound Lore. What does this all mean, well for one we got a new track to share with you that goes by the name “The Lash.” Straight up quality but what would you expect from a band that boasts key members of groups like ISIS, Converge, Cave In, Zozobra, Doomriders and more. Stream it from below and take a second to appreciate some of the art work that will accompany the release. Alongside Jake Banon of Converge fame, Aaron pretty much defined an aesthetic for the scene back in the day so you know it will be quality, unique, and poorly mimicked by others.

Listen: Joey Bada$$ - “1999” Mixtape

Current golden child and Brooklyn emcee Joey Bada$$ dropped his debut mixtape 1999 today. Featuring the 17 year-old laying down rhymes over a handful of borrowed beats from the likes of DOOM, Dilla and KNXWLEDGE amongst others, 1999 is a solid effort from the emcee that will most certainly find it’s audience with fans of 90’s NY hip hop or more specifically Tribe Called Quest.
