UNO CON KAOS


Volahn! Fuck! Volahn is a one man band playing black metal of a mystical and uncanny hue. After digging the digital version of "Dimensiones del Trance Kosmico" for some time, I finally got a hold of it in physical form at their NYC tour date, which I did not attend in spite of Thurston Moore's attempts to get me in (after he serenaded my buddies and I with Discharge!). Stoked to have this LP, it is definitely one of the better black metal albums to come out recently. I got to see the Bone Awl/Volahn/Ashdautas tour down in Philly at Disgraceland, and, while all the bands were awesome, Volahn was absolutely fucking incredible. The place just exploded when they played and it was altogether really powerful shit. This album was apparently four years in the making, and it shows--it is superbly crafted, well written black metal full of strange, dissonant melodies and lyrics in spanish invoking ritual kaos to alchemize flesh into stars. This is out now on Klaxon Records, grab it before it's gone!

the breaking wheel


Here is the demo from Boston's Brain Killer, an ear decimating testament to burly raw punk brutality. I just saw these guys twice in the past 2 days here in NYC and they absolutely fucking destroyed, especially at 538 Johnson on Friday night. My ears havent stopped ringing and I doubt they will for a while. This is one of the best fucking punk bands around, with a sound that rivals greats such as (everyone says this and i hate to repeat it but its true) Japan's almighty Bastard and a guitar tone that strikes the perfect balance between deafening feedbacking noise and the clarity necessary to hear the sweet riffs. This demo has just been repressed onto a 7", and they have just released a new 7" that I've heard but have yet to pick up. Highly recommended!
