Happy Bandcamp Friday!

Just picked up A Hymn of Loss and Hope, by Vile Creature & Bismuth, and ...An Invocation, the first EP put out by Faetooth.

I've really fallen in love with the sludgy, doomy greatness of Vile Creature, and this was a great introduction to Bismuth for me too. This is a single, 40+ minute track, which was originally planned as a colaboration for the Roadburn festival in 2020 (which, for 2020 reasons, didn't happen), but they eventually got to perform it in 2022, but worked together across the Atlantic ocean to put this out in the meantime. It's emotional, raw, but ultimately hopeful as well. I've also been finding it amazing background music to concentrate/study to, but maybe that's just me ;)

This is the first EP put out by one of my favourite bands I discovered last year, the LA-based doom band Faetooth. Full disclosure: while this is not as polished and epic as their first full album, Remnants of the Vessel (absolutely one of the best albums of 2022), there's still a lot to like here, and a lot that remains really interesting.

Plus, I appreciate being able to support two (now three!) of my favourite bands!

インドネシア・バリ島よりGabber Modus Operandiが来日。共演にはMERZBOW、∈Y∋（BOREDOMS）、VMOをはじめ、アーティストデュオMESによるパーティー「REVOLIC」も！　レイヴ、ノイズ、ハードコアが閃くエクスペリメンタルな祝祭。

インドネシア・バリ島よりGabber Modus Operandiが来日。9月2日（土）名古屋CLUB GOODWEATHER、9月3日（日）大阪CONPASS、9月6日（水）東京WWW & WWWβと巡るジャパンツアーが決定した。 Gabber Modus Operandiは、レイヴ、ノイズ、ガバ、グラインドコア、ファンコット、ガムラン音楽などを同列に捉えて、曰く「架空のハードコア・ミュージック」を生み出しているDJ／プロデューサーのKasimynとアーティスト／ファッション・デザイナーのIcan Harem（本ツアービジュアルはIcanが手がけている）の二人によるグループだ。実験精神をもとに、生まれ育ったインドネシアの伝統音楽と先鋭エレクトロニック・ミュージックを交差させた革新的なサウンドとパフォーマンスで、世界中のカッティング・エッジなフェスティバルからアンダーグラウンドなローカル・パーティーまで熱狂させ、激震を与えている。ビョークの最新アルバム『Fossora』（2022年）にも参加するなど、現行の音楽シーンにおいて重要な位置を占め���存在と言っていいだろう。

東京公演には、ノイズ・ミュージックの象徴的存在であるMERZBOWや、2022年にはウガンダのNyege Nyege Festivalにも出演するなどオルタナティブな表現を拡張し続ける∈Y∋（BOREDOMS）をはじめ、ポスト・レイヴの最重要レーベル〈NEVER SLEEP〉から2ndアルバムのリリース間近のVMOは本ツアーに帯同し、ブラックメタル×レイヴをスパークさせる。東京の新世代オルタナティブ・ハードコア・バンドmoreruや日本スケートボードシーンの革命児、吉岡賢人によるパンク・バンドJapanese Super Ratsといったエクストリームな面々もラインナップされるほか、昨年、閉店前のContact Tokyoを賑わせたアーティストデュオMESによるパーティー「REVOLIC -revolution holic/革命中毒-」がWWWβをジャック！　新進気鋭のDJ、ヴィ��ュアル・アーティストとともに、この日のためだけのエッジィでスペーシーかつSLAYなレイヴを蠢かせる。 猥雑な、爆音な、ダンスな、カオスな、昂揚と実験と解放とリアリティーのあるフロアへ!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Gabber Modus Operandi Japan Tour 2023】

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ［プロフィール］ ■ Gabber Modus Operandi Gabber Modus Operandi（ガバ・モーダス・オペランディ）は、バリ島デンパサールで開催されたアンダーグラウンドのパンク・コンサートに影響を受けて、DJ／プロデューサーのKasimynとアーティスト／ファッション・デザイナーのIcan Haremによって結成された。彼らの実験は、ジャティラン、ガバ、ダンドゥット・コプロ、エベの踊り、ファンコット、シカゴ・フットワーク、グラインドコア、ノイズ、そして特にインドネシアの小都市で疎外されていたコミュニティ・パーティーのエネルギーと激しさへの執着から始まることとなる。デビューLP『PUXXXIMAXX』は〈Yes No Wave Music〉からデジタル・フリー・ダウンロードでリリースされ、セカンドLP『HOXXXYA』は上海を拠点とするレーベル〈SVBKVLT〉からリリース。2020年にはデビューLPが〈Danse Noire〉よりリイシューされている。 Gabber Modus Operandi は、ジョクジャカルタの Nusasonic festival（2018年）でパフォーマンスしたことを皮切りに、CTM Festival（ベルリン）にてヨーロッパデビュー。Unsound（クラクフ）、Dark Mofo（タスマニア）、ALL（上海）、Final（台北）、WWW（渋谷）、MACAN（ジャカルタ）、WSK Festival（マニラ）、Nyege Nyege Festival（ウガンダ、カンパラ）、Soft Centre（シドニー）、Rewire（デン・ハーグ）、Kilbi Festival（スイス、クレムス）、Primavera（バルセロナ）など世界各国のカッティング・エッジなクラブやフェスティバルに出演している。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scMgtqD4WRQ https://www.instagram.com/gabbermodusoperandi/ ■ VMO a.k.a. Violent Magic Orchestra ダークスローン、メイヘム、エンペラー（真部脩一）らブラックメタル バンドの名前を日本語のカタカナで名乗る人間達、ヴィジュアル担当のKEZZARDRIX。そして3台のストロボライトとスモークマシーンで結成。その後ボーカリストのザスターが加入。2099年のHELVETECHという惑星からやって来たという設定。テクノ、ブラックメタル、インダストリアル、ノイズが渾然一体となり発光されるアートミュージックプロジェクト。それはまるでブラックメタルmeets Kraftwerk。コープスペイントを施したAphex Twin。ちなみに現在もっともライブハウス、クラブで電力を喰うユニット。VMOの総電力量は、5000W（わかりやすく言うとアンプ56台分）。 The BodyのChip King、SUNNO)))、MAYHEMのAttilaが参加した1st album「Catastrophic Anonymous」を、国内盤はworld's end girlfriend率いるVirgin Babylon Recordsより、ワールドワイド盤はCONVERGEのDEATHWISH傘下Throatruiner Recordsよりリリース。 Roadburn Festival、BANGFACE、Brutall Assault、le gues who?など世界中のフェスティバルに出演する。2020年6月フロントマンザスターが参加する初の音源がNEW RAVEの旗手Gabber EleganzaのレーベルNEVER SLEEPから『PRINCIPLE OF LIGHT SPEED INVARIANCE ep』を配信リリース。2021年に京都国際舞台芸術祭で発表されたAsian Dope BoysのTianzhuo Chenの「Sheepman」の2��間のインスタレーション・パーティーに両日出演。

2023年、2月にはベルリンのCTM Festivalに出演し、ベルグハインでプレイし絶賛を受ける。6月、タスマニアの暗闇の祭典Dark Mofoを熱狂させた後、シドニーのSOFT CENTREにて17m×30mの巨大スクリーンを仕様した圧巻のAVライブを披露。Sonar festival 2023にommatidium studiosとのコラボVR作品と音楽を提供した台湾のヴィジュアルアーティストYuen Hsiehの作品DIGITAL AFTERLIFE AGENCYが展示される。まもなくNEVER SLEEPからテクノ、ハードコア、ブラックメタルなどからジャンルを超えた豪華ゲストが参加する待望のセカンドアルバム「DEATH RAVE」を発売予定。秋には複数のフェスティバルを含む長期のヨーロッパとイギリスでのDEATH RAVEリリースツアーを予定している。

Zola Jesus - Live At Roadburn 2018 - from the days of live music festivals that you could go to

Zola Jesus Live At Roadburn 2018 is Zola Jesus first ever live album. Recorded at Roadburn Festival 2018 where Zola Jesus was invited by Jakob Bannon of Converge to play at his curated day. Zola Jesus is the stage name of Russian American musician Nika Roza Danilova. Under the name Zola Jesus, she has released a number of genre bending EPs and albums. Her approach is a cross pollination of electronic/industrial, classical, and gothic sounds. All of it coming together as a dark and emotional artistic experience.

Even longer and more epic, A Dawn to Fear is less concept-driven (I mean, you can’t get more concept-driven than mirroring Fritz Lang’s Metropolis) though no less cinematic and dark. Moments of quiet are just as important as the clashing metal dirges. Squeaky, foreboding droning guitars introduce “The Silent Man”, gorgeous, sliding guitars bringing it to its logical conclusion. Guitars buzz to silence at the end of “Lay Your Head To Rest”, contrasting the lawnmower pulls at the beginning. The longest track on the album, “Lights on the Hill”, is mostly creeping and quiet; “Nightwalkers”, which purportedly took forever to write, builds around a repeated main riff. I didn’t expect Cult of Luna to center around so many circular rhythms or doomy slow-burns, but they prove another side to themselves on A Dawn to Fear. “Sleep, sleep, sleep / Our eyes are shut, my hands are shaking / Bodies aching,” Johannes Persson sings on the lurking “We Feel the End”, finding the appropriate words of demise to match the structure of the songs.

We previewed Roadburn 2020 co-curator Emma Ruth Rundle’s set at Empty Bottle two years ago:

“Singer-songwriter, guitarist, and visual artist Emma Ruth Rundle has released her opus. On Dark Horses, inspired by her move to Louisville and musical and life partnership with Evan Patterson of Young Widows/Jaye Jayle (who we profiled earlier this year), is about anxiety, dealing with pain, and escaping trauma, but it’s also about being enveloped by love. Its songs are sludgy and slow-burning, anthemic and emotional all at once. The verses chug and the choruses crash, the core band of Patterson on guitar and piano, Todd Cook on bass, and Dylan Nadon on drums providing tension between darkness and light. At the center of it all is Rundle’s weary, empathetic voice, addressing a loved one’s trauma on ‘You Don’t Have To Cry’, the perfect complement to Patterson’s baritone on love duet 'Light Song'.”

Intronaut’s Kurt Ballou-produced sixth album Fluid Existential Inversions was released last Friday, five years after their previous record. Parts of it were written immediately after the release of 2015′s The Direction of Last Things, but the band took a break instead of rushing into recording it. Adding drummer Alex Rudinger and working again with producer Josh Newell and guitarist Ben Sharp on a couple songs (“The Cull”, “Sour Everythings”), the album is progressive and thoughtful, per usual. Instrumental opener “Procurement of the Victuals” ascends into chaotic drumming and riffing, laying the foundation for buoyant guitar-heavy songs like “Contrapasso” and the groovy “Check Your Misfortune”. Best, though, are the songs where guitarist/vocalist/lyricist David Timnick shines. “Tripolar” was inspired by a nightmare of his. “Pangloss”, referring to the character in Voltaire’s Candide, bemoans blind optimism. So does the anti-xenophobia anthem “Speaking of Orbs”; lead vocalist Sacha Dunable sings of the current world where “austerity bites...Luddites try as they might / Disconstents appear in every face / And dwell upon every tongue.” It’s not a political diatribe as much as a plea for a spiritual revolution. “We miss the forest for the trees,” he warns on “Sour Everythings”, arguing before on “Cubensis” that “shadow and substance / its depth knows no bounds,” that critical thinking is the one thing that can save us all.

Sudan Archives, Sleeping Village

Sudan Archives’ Athena was our #8 album of last year:

“On her debut album Athena, violinist/singer Brittney Denise Parks–better known as Sudan Archives–directly explores and conveys her sexuality. Adapting church hymns and delivering classical music-inspired interludes, among honest songs of love and relationships, she manipulates the violin to convey all-encompassing emotions and physicality. 'I realize I lost my mind,' she sings on opener 'Did You Know?' next to staccato plucks. 'Confessions', on the contrary, features lush, weeping lines over a panning click beat. And violin textures provide even percussion on the resonant 'House of Open Tuning II'. The best songs, though, are confrontational. 'Do you wanna go play outside? Do you wanna go down?' Parks poses to a lover on 'Green Eyes', a song that begins stark with a low-mixed flange effect but eventually juxtaposes synth and violins for maximum depth. And on the finger-snapping 'Limitless', towards the end of the album, she addresses someone changed for the worse by an unhealthy relationship. 'What happened to your dreams? All you care about is things,' she asks, the alternate to this materialism the spirited love and lust she’s presented throughout Athena.”

Wire, Metro

British post-punk band Wire’s latest album Mind Hive succeeds, ironically, when it abandons post-punk. While sharp, staccato tracks like cynical opener “Be Like Them” and propulsive, synthy “Primed and Ready” are heavy, it’s the poppier and softer songs where Wire achieve something new. Take “Cactused”, which centers around a simple chorus but is nonetheless smartly catchy, the sky-high melodies of slow ballad “Unrepentant”, or the jangly sunny-to-dark “Off The Beach”. These are songs you wouldn’t have expected to hear on a Wire album in 2020 based on aesthetics alone. Juxtaposing lyrical dread with gorgeous hues and textures takes it to another level. On “Shadows”, Colin Newman sings about mass execution. More subtly, on the 8-minute, noisy, minimal “Hung”, he repeats a story too often heard on the news these days: “The jury was hung / In a moment of doubt / The damage was done / Trust was lost / And the wheels had spun”. On Mind Hive, misery comes in equal parts from societal structures and the chaos of living. Both appear on closer “Humming”. “Spy the Russians / Brushing scandals / Under oligarchy rugs,” sings Newman, topically, before Graham Lewis moves on to the random nature of trouble, independent of location. “I’ve been robbed in Roma,” he sings, “Gutted in Glasgow / From the Rockies to Chicago.” That’s one way to certainly relate.

Tonight, opening for the band is a member of Wire itself, spinning some tunes before they take the stage.

Dutch alternative pop innovators GGGOLDDD announce fifth studio album, This Shame Should Not Be Mine. The first single and video, 'Notes on How to Trust,' is available now.

The band’s most ambitious and masterful work to date, This Shame Should Not Be Mine was conceived in the silence of 2020’s pandemic lockdown, partly as a way for GGGOLDDD lead singer Milena Eva to confront parts of her past and partly in response to the Roadburn Festival’s invitation to propose a commissioned piece for its 2021 online edition.

Milena says: "While the album tells the story of my personal experience with sexual assault, the song ‘Notes On How To Trust’ is about learning how to trust again after such trauma. When every boundary is blurry and every person you meet is a possible risk, it’s a challenge to keep sane."

Visually, the album is complemented by stunning artwork courtesy of Milan-based photographer Szilveszter Makó. The images depicting Milena as a pre-Raphaelite beauty encased in armour display a metaphor for the emotional armour she has worn for years.

Capturing the essence of both extreme vulnerability and the strength gained from the process of reclaiming ownership of one's past, these ten tracks are an intimate anthology of transformative power.

This Shame Should Not Be Mine is due for release on April 1, 2022, via Toronto-based Artoffact Records as deluxe double-vinyl and double-CD editions, which include a recording of the band’s 2021 Roadburn Festival performance as bonus material.

This Shame Should Not Be Mine:

You’re so nice!!! I would be down for either Asami x reader blurb or Korra x reader blurb for the leather prompt

kinktober 2020 | this week’s list

A/N: i decided to go with Asami since it was easier for me to come up with a scenario for her! again, like my last leather prompt, this one isn’t super nsfw, but still kinda spicy!

by clicking read more you verify that you are at least 18 years old

You were so incredibly excited for your girlfriend’s first ever race. Ever since things in Republic City had started rebuilding from Kuvira’s attack, Satomobile racing had been on the rise as a popular sport. And, of course, since Asami was phenomenal at racing, you had begged and begged her to participate in a race until she finally laughed and agreed, so long as you would come to all of her races.

Unfortunately, you were late to this one, so you didn’t get to see her off. Your shitty boss had forced you to stay late because of a mistake one of your coworkers made, and you scrambled to your spot beside the racetrack that Asami had reserved for you. You were too late to see your girlfriend off, but at least you wouldn’t miss the start of the race. The entire arena was screaming with noise, and you cheered for Asami as the engines revved and the vehicles roared to life, zipping around the track so fast that the wind whipped your hair.

You didn’t know much about this new sport, but you did know just by the announcer’s commentary that Asami was ridiculously good at it - as if you needed him to tell you that. She ended up sweeping the competition, earning first place by a landslide. 

You cheered, scrambling out of your seat and to the driver’s exit that wasn’t too far away. You were grinning ear to ear, so excited to see your girlfriend - 

And when you finally spotted her, your jaw dropped. 

Asami was wearing a red and black leather jumpsuit, the future industries logo emblazoned across the shoulders. You should have expected that - all the other racers were wearing similar leather suits, since in the case of a crash, the leather would prevent them from getting roadburn.

But what you didn’t expect was for Asami to look so good in hers. As she excited her vehicle, she unzipped her high necked jacket, revealing her delicate collarbone, and just a teasing hint of cleavage. But that wasn’t even what caught your eye the most - her pants were skintight, and showed off every curve of her thighs as ass as she strode forward with confidence, grinning in victory.

Oh, spirits. You were definitely going to have to celebrate her win.
