The now defunct Low Places died a quiet death this September, announcing the cessation of their negative sludgy hardcore violence on the Facebook page of the product of their dissolution, Child Brides. Before they left however, there was talks of new material on the rise, news that ultimately dwindled into the cracks of Internet time and certainly out of my mind until now. I awoke this morning to news that Low Places have decided to finally release their final works in the form of the eponymous Black Tape. Set to be pressed on limited tape copies, Black Tape is streaming its A-Side below and can be downloaded free here. Check that and a stroll through some of Low Places history below. Keep it trill.

Bird Eater, full set, Gaza, live, new material, Salt Lake City, The Shred Shed, Utah
Live footage of Bird Eater’s (Gaza, etc) entire set at The Shred Shed in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 1st has surfaced online. The set features the band performing some new material that will be featured on the band’s upcoming record, which is untitled and has no release date as of yet. The audio gets a little out of sync sometimes but you get the jist of the songs. From what my feeble ears can hear, these songs are hard hitting and just brutal. Check out the video below and be sure to check back for more Bird Eater news.

Writing is officially underway for Suicide Silence’s next full length record. Vocalist Mitch Lucker took to Twitter to announce that the band were in the process of writing new songs. The record is not scheduled to be released until Summer of next year so fans will have to twiddle their thumbs in the meantime. This is slated to be the first Suicide Silence record on Nuclear Blast Entertainment. To pacify your need for Suicide Silence’s suicidal chugs, here is “Smoke” from their sophomore record No Time to Bleed.

No other details were given but I will post them as soon as they become available. Until then, check out this cut from Reports From the Threshold of Death, “Dance on Blood”.

In a recent short Pitchfork interview, Kevin Shields of the legendary My Bloody Valentine teased the possibility of releasing a new album. He’s hinted at the possibility of a new record for awhile now but according to this interview, this time it might be official. If you haven’t heard of My Bloody Valentine before, I suggest you give their album Loveless a listen. It is regarded by many as a landmark in the shoegaze genre. Who knows, maybe we will see new MBV this year. I hope so.

Ion Dissonance announced on their Facebook that they have written a “ridiculously heavy” new song. So, we should just assume that a new record is in the works right? To be honest, the only album by this band I am into is Breathing is Irrelevant. But who knows, this new album may knock my socks off. But until then, let’s jam some Breathing is Irrelevant jams!
