Slayer Hate Appeals To N.A.R.A.S. Members |
This, Slayer's fourth Grammy nod in the Best Metal Performance category, is for the track "Hate Worldwide," off of the band's new album World Painted Blood, which offers a Slayer-ized viewpoint of our world - God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the way-too-close proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, and a chilling hypothesis of how the rest of the world might view America.
"Hate Worldwide," written by King, showcases classic Slayer hate-fueled venom spewed forth at impossible speeds - "That's why it's become my obsession/To treat God like an infection/My scars, insane/My life, profane/I deny, defy, and spread a little hate worldwide."

The Gun and Doll Show Release New Concept Album |
The album is a versatile and imaginative auditory trip across the radio dial, compared in sound and style to The Tubes, The Breeders, Garbage, Frank Zappa meeting Todd Rundgren, even Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Killian MacGeraghty is the ringleader, mastermind, writer and lead singer of this super-charged 7-member band consisting of three female vocalists, two guitarists, a bassist and drummer. Known for their attention-commanding live performances, and recently deemed the "Best Damned Rock Show in San Francisco"1, the Gun & Doll Show over-delivers.

Audacity To Support Crystal Antlers Tour |
Known for their characteristically frothing-at-the-mouth live performances that Seattle's The Stranger called, "raw, raucous, ramshackle rock with youthful vigor that sometimes threatened to spill over into dissonant chaos," AUDACITY along with Crystal Antlers (who themselves are known for their highly charged live performances) will be providing for all those in attendance the sweatiest two hours of their lives this winter.
Audacity's latest debut full length release, Power Drowning, which Vice Magazine described as "rambunctious, slop-pop garage [that] wobbles like shopping cart wheels at terminal velocity" was recorded and mixed in under a week at Costa Mesa, CA's surreptitiously legendary Distillery-used also by the Seeds, Mika Miko, Rocket From The Crypt and the Black Lips (who flew to California specifically to work there)-and released on vinyl earlier this year by Anaheim garage-pop label Burger. Power Drowning's fifteen songs collide the Adolescents' blue album and Redd Kross' Born Innocent with the supercharged teenage melodrama of the Shangri-Las and the tossed-off swagger of the Sweet or Alice Cooper-before his complexion fell apart.

Iron Age Mini Tour |
Iron Age have been slugging it out in hardcore and punk circles since the middle of the decade, touring the North America and abroad with such contemporary hardcore luminaries as Rise And Fall, Cold World, ----ed Up, and Trash Talk while steadily honing the riffed-out hardcore sound established on their 2006 debut Constant Struggle.
With The Sleeping Eye, Iron Age remains a modern torchbearer for the long tradition established by the crossover classics (Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity, Crumbsuckers' Life of Dreams, Cro-Mags' Best Wishes, etc), but twists the NYHC-inspired thrash of their debut to create something bigger and darker, enhancing the violence of their former efforts with mammoth Lovecraftian atmopshere. Gargantuan guitar riffs conjure images of astral behemoths while unnamed terrors lurk in the unwavering, resolute rhythm section. The demon doesn't truly emerge though until the blood-curdling, blasphemous growls of Jason Tarpey crawl to the startling forefront. Fans of the vocal madness of King Diamond or G.I.S.M.'s Sakevi can rejoice at this reverb-drenched shrieking.
The Sleeping Eye is a sprawling modern heavy metal opus that doesn't forsake its hardcore roots, but follows them to their sonic extremities, forging a sound that honors the crossover forefathers while treading new ground in brutal atmosphere and doomy ambiance.
