Fontanelle, funk, Jazz., Southern Lord, Vitamin F, When the Fire Hits the Forest

Experimental jazz fusion outfit Fontanelle has returned after a ten year silence for the release of a brand new record. The record in question is entitled Vitamin F and will be released through Southern Lord on October 23rd. Spin.com has the first taste of the record in the form of the LSD laden “When the Fire Hits the Forest”. The song begins with an oscillating array of absinthe inspired effects and groovy baseline that walks confidently into a full blown avant jazz swagger full of noisy guitar leads and a dizzying display of complex instrumentation. I personally have never heard of this band before today but I can tell you they impress the hell out of me. I am a sucker for jazz and weird music and Fontanelle combines both of these in a nice saccharine package. Check out that track and tell me it is not awesome.

Brooklyn Vegan have an exclusive stream of Xibalba’s new record Hasta La Muerte (August 14th) for your listening pleasure. Xibalba’s music isn’t overly complicated by any means but it makes for its simplicity with pure brute force. They mix hardcore and crust punk aggression with downtuned, sludgy breakdowns that a band like The Acacia Strain would create. Anyway, check this record out at Brooklyn Vegan or stream it below.

Salt Lake City’s own Eagle Twin, who are currently on tour with Gaza (see dates after the jump), are currently streaming a new track off of their forthcoming album The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale. This track is called “The Ballad Of Job Cain Part II” and it’s a filthy, sludgy beast of a track. As a long time fan of Eagle Twin I have really been enjoying their new album in all of it’s disgusting goodness. You can stream the track below (courtesy of Guitar World) and weigh in in the comments section. Are you stoked for The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale? You should be.

The Feather Tipped The Serpent’s Scale will be released later this month on Southern Lord Records. [Continue...]

Ataraxia/Taraxis, EP, Pelican, review, Southern Lord

By Lane Oliver

2009’s thunderous What We All Come to Need was Pelican’s most diverse and well written and focused record to date. Three years is long enough to wait for new Pelican material in my opinion. Throughout their existence they have created some of the most expansive and epic instrumental passages I have ever heard. This year, Pelican once again raises the bar for other bands in their class with the four song EP Ataraxia/Taraxis. This short but sweet EP begins a new chapter in Pelican’s career and takes their established sound a step further.

Ataraxia/Taraxis, Pelican, Southern Lord, stream

Pelican are currently streaming their upcoming EP Ataraxia/Taraxis, which will be released on April 10th. I have already listened to this thing a handful of times and I must say it is pretty damn good. It may be only four songs, but Pelican’s songwriting abilities make it feel like a whole album worth of material. Listen to the EP below.

Oh, and a little birdy told me that the band should release a new full length next year.

black breath, review, Sentenced To Life, Southern Lord

By Lane Oliver

Black Breath made their presence in the heavy music scene known with 2010’s Heavy Breathing. Bearing a crossover thrash/hardcore hybrid with some rock and roll swagger, Heavy Breathing was an insanely catchy and promising debut for the band and definitely helped them gain exposure. Sentenced to Life, the band’s upcoming follow up to Heavy Breathing, will be released on the 27^th of this month. This new release bears ten heavy hitting tracks and a slight change in sound to boot.

black breath, Southern Lord

Filthy, wrecking crew Black Breath are getting ready to unleash their follow-up to 2010′s Heavy Breathing which was one of my favorite albums of that year and is still in steady rotation around American Aftermath HQ. The band is currently streaming a new song titled “Mother Abyss” over at Revolver and it’s a crushing son-of-a-bitch if ever I’ve heard one.

Click To Make Big

As I write this I am giving my first listen to the bands forthcoming album Sentenced To Life and I gotta say it’s not on par with Heavy Breathing. It surpasses their previous records by a landslide. This album is a filthy, crusty harbinger of destruction and it is, in my opinion, the bands best material yet. The album art I’m not too excited over as it’s a little bland, but the bands new working logo is fucking sick.

I guarantee you will be hearing a lot about this record this year. Get fucking pumped. Sentenced To Life will be released on March 27th via Southern Lord Records. If the Revolver page spazzes out like it did on me a few times, you can peep the track here.
