Howdy,
outlaws. Just received my subscriber copy of Decibel Magazine and
wanted to list my articles in this fine issue. I incorrectly thought
Amon Amarth had grimaced on a Decibel cover within the past year or so,
but it’s been more like two and a half. Nothing wrong with them, but I’m
still waiting for a Church of Misery cover. Here are the three pieces I
had in this issue:
Page 23: Lesbian band profile. I talked to the thoughtful, shroom-snacking Seattle band about their new album ForesTeleVision
and the female space warrior they discovered together. The album is
one amazing 44 minute track that ranges from funeral doom to sludgy groove to
earthy ambiance and King Diamond-inspired galloping metal. Check them out now, they're sprawlingly awesome.
Page 92: Black Tusk - Tend No Wounds review.
I have really enjoyed stuff but these guys in the past, and I bet their
new songs from this EP would be solid live, but I wasn’t feeling it. I
gave it a 6/10 and submitted some snarky baseball related barbs. It was
tough, I really wanted to like this EP.
Page 99: Naam - Vow review.
These fellow Brooklynites rank high on the coolness scale with a casual
charm and swaggering approach to their amp-busting, fuzzed-out stoner
rock. I gave their new album an 8/10 and recommend this to anyone into
stoner/doom music. Not among the heaviest albums of the year, and there
are a few throw-away interludes, but some of this songwriting is just
god damn incredible.
Pick it up this week, and check out some other awesome articles (with the Maryland Deathfest review, Shawn Macomber’s piece on Integrity’s Dwid Hellion, and Kevin Stewart-Panko’s Pig Destroyer HOF entry as my favorites).
