You know what it is. And if you don’t know, now you know: I write, you read. I get rich (with virtual hugs) and you get informed. Win win.<\/p>\n

If you’re anything like myself, there is a good chance you\u00a0enjoy healthy doses of\u00a0Dying Fetus<\/strong> and Misery Index<\/strong>, perhaps even in the same package. John “Sparky” Voyles, who has played guitar for both bands has recently joined the ranks of\u00a0Fulgora<\/strong>, a progressive death metal band that features both Adam and John Jarvis, the cousins who are perhaps best known for their involvement in the absolutely killer rhythm section of\u00a0Pig Destroyer<\/strong>. You can stream Fulgora’s 2015 release,\u00a0Stratagem<\/em>, by stabbing this link<\/a>. Be on the lookout for the following gigs:<\/p>\n

05\/21 Brooklyn, NY @ The Acheron (w\/\u00a0Blooded Head<\/b>, Sunrot<\/b> & Scowl<\/b>)
\n05\/23 Baltimore, MD @ The Edison Lot*
\n09\/12 Cave-In-Rock, IL @ Full Terror Assault<\/p>\n

*This is the main stage of Maryland Death Festival. For details on this and all the other great festivals I will never be able to attend, report here<\/a> & here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, we’re up for something that left me salivating. Crusty sludge\u00a0mavens\u00a0Unearthly Trance\u00a0<\/strong>are reforming. This is really exciting. Taken from their new blog:<\/a><\/p>\n

Like a phoenix undead, Brooklyn based black\/doom\/sludge trio\u00a0Unearthly\u00a0Trance\u00a0has returned! After putting the band on ice in 2012, Darren Verni, Ryan Lipynsky and Jay Newman have decided to resurrect and start playing together once again.\u00a0 The band is already currently writing new music for what will be their sixth full-length album and fourth for Relapse Records.<\/p>\n

In the past\u00a0Unearthly\u00a0Trance\u00a0<\/strong>has shared the stage with the heaviest bands on the planet including\u00a0The Melvins, Sleep, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Autopsy and Morbid Angel to name a few.\u00a0 Now\u00a0Unearthly Trance\u00a0<\/strong>have announced their first performances in over three years with\u00a0a few NYC area shows booked in May and\u00a0July with support from Samothrace, Primitive Man and Churchburn.\u00a0 A series of Northeast dates are also in the works for August as well as a soon to be announced Fest in California this November.\u00a0 A complete listing of confirmed dates is available below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

05\/24 Brooklyn, NY @ Saint Vitus (w\/\u00a0Samothrace<\/strong>,\u00a0Trenchgrinder <\/strong>and Beefrot<\/strong>)

Short hair band (seriously, it’s on their Facebook<\/a>)\u00a0Kowloon Walled City<\/strong> are recording a new album! Here’s the brief update offered by the band.<\/p>\n

If you’re not familiar with these guys, you should get acquainted. Start with their last album\u00a0Container Ships\u00a0<\/em>(2012) and work your way backwards. Thank me later.<\/p>\n

My favorite pastime is plugging random shots of hip hop into metal blogs.\u00a0De La Soul<\/strong> just put out a new track, featuring none other than Nasty\u00a0Nas<\/strong> himself. This song won’t be on their new album, but you can download it for free on this link<\/a>. Stream “God It” below:<\/p>\n
