MUSIC VIDEO: Shabazz Palaces – “An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum”

June 17th, 2013 Brian Lion

Just shy of two years since the release of their debut album, Black Up, Seattle’s experimental hip-hop duo, Shabazz Palaces, have just gotten around to releasing the visuals for my favorite track off the album, “An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum.”

In a fitting black and white video directed by Joris Grelet, the excellently edited visual accompaniment to Black Up‘s second track features two assassins wielding their weapons of choice near the ocean. You can view the video immediately after the jump along with the duo’s brief stint of summer tour dates primarily spanning Asia …

I See Stars Premiere “Violent Bounce”

June 17th, 2013 James Shotwell

Michigan’s I See Stars have debuted a new song online, entitled “Violent Bounce.”

The first song to surface off the group’s forthcoming new album, New Demons, “Violent Bounce” continues I See Stars’ foray into the world of electronic hardcore music. The song begins unassuming enough with heavy synth and bass, then explodes into an all out rock riot that is sure to crush on Warped Tour and beyond. The screams take front and center, of course, but it’s the soaring vocals of frontman Devin Oliver that pulls “Violent Bounce” from mediocrity into potential hit. You can stream the track …

June 17th, 2013 Brian Lion

Artist: Liquid Casing
Album: A Separate|Divide
Genre: Rock, Progressive, Experimental
For fans of: Russian Circles, Fugazi, Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Liquid Casing‘s newest effort opens with “A Path of Footprints Forged in the Midnight Sun,” a raw and gritty exploration through different variations of experimental and progressive rock that sets up a nice foundation for what’s to come on A Separate|Divide. The opener is immediately followed by “Alambrista” which starts out in a fury of rhythmic guitar and drums with cymbals crashing violently, and adds even more elements than were found on the album’s first offering. The horns …

Black Sabbath Reach No. 1 On UK Charts After 42 Years, Continue To Be Old

June 17th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

In 2009, Bob Dylan released Together Through Life, his thirty third studio album. It was the first album of his to hit number one on the UK charts in 39 years. Back in March, David Bowie mounted a good effort and reached number one in the UK (and number two in the US) with The Next Day. Black Sabbath have seemingly topped them all, debuting at number one in the UK forty two years and eight months after Paranoid charted that high, according to Billboard.

The new Black Sabbath album, 13, features Rage Against The Machine …
