ALBUM REVIEW: Scarcity – The Promise Of Rain

Posted on by

Second album from Scarcity, the Brooklyn based avantgarde Black Metal collective, who have managed to create a sound like no other on a record that well and truly bends the mind.

CONCERT REVIEW: Baroness – Primitive Man – Midwife – Agriculture Live at The UC Theatre 

Posted on by

On a beautiful autumn night we headed out to see one of my favorite bands in one of my favorite Bay Area venues.

We recently did a deep dive discography over at the Glacially Musical Pouredcast. I even own an exclusive John Dyer Baizley-made print from the Yellow and Green album era (Relapse Records) that holds a special place in my heart. Needless to say, the 2023 release of the album Stone (Abraxan Hymns) has not left my rotation. Not only was I getting to see one of the best bands to ever do it live, three other killer bands were joining them tonight in Primitive Man, Midwife and Agriculture. The approach of the headline band to have different sets of rotating openers should be a more common practice when possible.
