Video: “Here Is A Gift For You” Old Man Gloom Documentary

As the title above states “Here Is A Gift For You” is a 42-minute documentary on metal super-group,  Old Man Gloom (Cave In, Converge and ex-Isis). Kenneth Thomas put together the feature which chronicles the band up to the making of their 2014 album, “The Ape Of God.” The film is a great mix of interviews from various musicians, family remembers and scenesters that often retain a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. A must for fans of any of the bands these guys are involved with or if you consider yourself a fan of gloomy psychedelic metal.

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: Sumac – "The Deal” Full LP Stream

Sumac is the latest group from ISIS and Old Man Gloom heavyweight Aaron Turner; the project teams him up with other big names including Brian Cook (Russian Circles, ex-Botch, ex-These Arms Are Snakes) and Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists.)  Their début record titled The Deal is out on February 17th via ProFound Lore and Sige Records but you can stream the whole thing now from below…

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: Krallice – “IIIIIIII”

After three albums on Profound Lore, Brooklyn-based technical black-metal band Krallice are set to self release their forth LP, Years Past Matter, as a limited-edition CD on August 25. Our first taste of the record comes in the form of “IIIIIIII,”  which for the uninitiated, is as good a starting point as any to get to know Nick McMaster and Mick Barr’s trade off vocal styling's and hyper fast  riffage. Check it out below…

Listen: Leviathan – “Blood Red and True"

We got another sneak peak at the upcoming one-man San Francisco based black-metal project Leviathan who’s new LP is out November 8^th  via Profound Lore. "Blood Red and True" closes True Traitor, True Whore and is another gut retching classic from Jef Whitehead that won't disapoint fans of the genre.

Listen: Leviathan - "Her Circle Is The Noose"

Leviathan is a one-man San Francisco based black-metal project whose alter ego is Jef Whitehead (a/k/a Wrest). Whitehead has been making Leviathan music since at least 1998, including 15 demo’s, 7 splits, two EPs, and four full-length albums of which I am a huge fan of. True Traitor, True Whore, is going to be the latest release from Leviathan and is scheduled for release by Profound Lore on November 8. Check out a track from the LP called “Her Circle Is the Noose”.
