  • ​Dyk Ned I Sludge-Riget Med Mægtige Eyehategod
    2019-06-05 10:00 CEST Dyk ned i sludge-riget med mægtige Eyehategod VEGA præsenterer Dyk ned i sludge-riget med mægtige Eyehategod Den 6. oktober kan du opleve legenderne fra New Orleans, når de skruer helt op for deres unikke mix af punk og metal i VEGA. Eyehategod startede tilbage i 1988 deres tunge eksperimenter med bluesede og distortede guitarer. Siden har det genredefinerende band fået spillesteder verden over til at ryste med deres dystre mix af punk og metal, som deres karismatiske frontmand kalder heavy blues. Fra 2000 og 2014 var bandet hårdt ramt af orkanødelæggelser, afhængighed, depressioner og til slut trommeslager Joey LaCazes tidlige død i 2013. Men året efter rejste bandet sig med et potent selvbetitlet album, der høstede store roser hos anmeldere verden over. Trommeslageren fra Mountain of Wizard og Missing Monuments, Aaron Hill, overtog efter LaCaze, og han har på fornemmeste vis løftet arven videre med indlevende, energisk trommespil, der indkapsler bandets karakteristiske lyd. Med skarpskårede guitarriffs fra Jimmy Bower og Brian Patton, tordnende trommer og Mike Williams dæmoniske vokal skaber bandet et kakofonisk lydunivers. Det er Black Sabbath mikset med Black Flag og en portion old school blues oveni hatten. Da bandet sidste år fyrede godt og grundigt op under Pumpehuset, skrev anmelderen fra Devilution begejstret om legendernes energiske optræden: ”Eyehategod leverede en af den type koncerter, hvor man som publikum ikke i ét splitsekund tænker, at man har med en rutinepræget præstation at gøre. Det gør man ikke, fordi det er leveret med indlevelse, og fordi de med Mike IX Williams snart 30 år inde i karrieren – og med sin anden lever! – stadig er et i den grad dopesick individ fyldt med mismod, afsky og muligvis nu også en snert af taknemmelighed.” Fakta om koncerten: Eyehategod (US) Søndag d.

  • Crowbar Symmetry in Black ENG
    “Symmetry In Black” CD • LP • Digital Download European Release Date: Ma y 26 th , 2014 Hope ya’ love it slow, hard and heavy, because the rebirth of CROWBAR is upon us. Make no mistake: the massively influential merchants of sludge never went away. But as the band’s 25 th year of existence dawns and their tenth full length album is unleashed upon the world, cofounder, frontman and riff- making warhorse Kirk Windstein is determined to give the band he unapologetically calls his “baby” the total dedication it demands. The unrestrained push and relentless concentration surrounding Symmetry in Black is music to the ears - figuratively and literally – for new adherents and the legion of underground fans and fellow musicians who swore allegiance to Crowbar long ago. Symmetry in Black is the perfect album to arrive in the number ten slot of the Crowbar catalog, a penultimate achievement embodying the early sloth of doom touchstone Obedience Thru Suffering (1991), the moody dissonance of modern classic Odd Fellows Rest (1998) and the crisp thunder of the album’s predecessor, Sever the Wicked Hand (2011), with nuggets of Crowbar’s storied history sprinkled throughout. The crushing signature sound of Crowbar is at its peak on Symmetry in Black , the band’s most diverse yet cohesive release. It was coproduced with fellow New Orleans resident Duane Simoneaux, who worked on Sever the Wicked Hand and mixed by Josh Wilbur, whose diverse credits include work with Lamb Of God, Gojira and Killer Be Killed. “We needed to move our sound forward but at the same time, make sure everything stayed 100% true to who and what we are,” Windstein explains.

Our first Boston show was with DYS, The Mighty COs and The AMERICA’S HARDCORE FU’s. It was very intense for us. We were so intimidated. Future generations will fuck up again THE OUTPATIENTS got started in 1982 by Deep Wound bassist Scott Helland At least we can try and change the one we’re in and his older brother Eric “Vis” Helland, guitarist/vocalist of Mace — a 1980-82 — Deep Wound, “Deep Wound” Metal group that played like Motörhead but dug Black Flag (a rare blend back then). The Outpatients opened for bands like EAST COAST Black Flag, Hüsker Dü and SSD. Flipside called ’em “one of the most brutalizing live bands In 1980, over-with small cities and run-down mill towns across the Northeast from the period.” 1983’s gnarly Basement Tape teemed with bored kids with nothing to do. Punk of any kind earned a cultural demo included credits that read: “Play loud in death sentence in the land of stiff upper-lipped Yanks. That cultural isolation math class.” became the impetus for a few notable local Hardcore scenes.

  • CROWBAR Have Returned with Another Righteous Slab of Devastating Heaviness
    “Sever The Wicked Hand ” Ltd. Edition CD Mediabook, Digital Download EU street date: February 14 th , 2011 They’re back. It’s been six long years, but New Orleans sludge legends CROWBAR have returned with another righteous slab of devastating heaviness. Led by guitarist, vocalist and mastermind Kirk Windstein — who also lends his considerable talents to the super groups Down and Kingdom Of Sorrow — CROWBAR have influenced an entire generation of metal musicians through the sheer force of their massively detuned riffage and the crushing emotional weight of Windstein’s soul- baring lyrics. From the bruising slow-grooves of their 1991 debut, Obedience Thru Suffering, and 1993’s Crowbar (produced by Down/ex-Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo) to the roaring redemption songs of 2000’s Equilibrium and 2005’s Lifesblood For The Downtrodden (featuring Down/ex-Pantera gunslinger Rex Brown on bass), CROWBAR have honed a signature sound that has become instantly recognizable around the world. CROWBAR began in 1988 as the brainchild of Windstein and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Bower (also of Eyehategod and Down), with an eye to playing slow and — most importantly — low. “When we started the band, thrash was at its peak,” Windstein recalls. “Then Jimmy and I started rediscovering Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus and bands like that. We started tuning to D and then C and then B and even A on some songs. It was all about how much low-end we could get out of it.” Bower split CROWBAR in 1990, only to return to the drum pulpit for 1996’s Broken Glass and 1998’s Odd Fellows Rest , the latter of which also featured Goatwhore’s Sammy Duet on second guitar.
