this is a quick one.

if you are on a road, inside a vehicle, behind the wheel and enjoying some kind of early eighties phil collins thinks he's better than the rest of genesis shit on your fm tuned stock radio and you are cruising at a solid "slowest fucking driving speed in the world", well, i suggest you get the fuck out of the left most lane.

that's where i am. and i am moving in a straight line towards you. see that tiny speck in your rearview? yeah that was me 4 seconds ago and now my car is transferring rust to your car so...

get

the

fuk

out

of my

way

dick

Holy Jesus.

i know i'm not alone. sometimes i think i wanna try to put my foot up on the dash, but 1. my leg would bust through the windshield,2. my seat would get pushed way too far back, or,3. i would get stuck that way and attempt to free myself by driving faster. the paramedic would wonder just how a guy my size would have his leg wrapped around the back of his head once pulled from the wreckage...

so here is some not shitty music from Canada...you faggots.

Bison BC kicks some serious ass. i dunno what you need described, four dudes from western canada, ripping shit up across NA with the likes of Baroness and Kylesa to name just two. They fucking rule and they will see me in march.

stick a toe in the water

dive the fuck in

Labels: baroness, bison, drive it or park it, maybe running you off the road would be worth it, music |

peaches and metal

1:09 AM | Posted by jenniy

I'm a Georgia girl born and raised whether I like it or not. I think I've accepted the fact or rather more lovingly embraced it in the last couple of years. And, as luck would have it, there are a few good reasons not to mumble through the state name as quickly as possible when someone asks where I'm from....at least if you have a taste for metal. And I do. Oh, boy do I ever.

Savannah, with its touristy attractions and quaint atmosphere, has been home to several bands I enjoy of late. Spin magazine even detailed as much in a recent article which you can read here. Baroness, which is, by far, my favorite band of the now hails from Savannah along with Kylesa and Black Tusk which also rank pretty high on my list. In fact, not too long ago, I made the 5 hour trek to the city just to see Kylesa and Baroness in concert. It was epic...well worth the time and money spent to get there. I remember standing near the stage, sweaty, completely charged with energy, and feeling so fucking free. So...me.
Here is me in my lovely Kylesa tee:

Black Tusk is the least known and newest of the three bands. They formed in 2005 and have one full length album, Passage to Purgatory, which was released in 2009 from label Hyperrealist. The band has since signed on with Relapse Records which also carries Baroness as well as other greats like Birds of Prey, Mastodon, High on Fire, Rwake, Jucifer, Coalesce (already featured here) and more. The band labels themselves swamp metal but carries that sludge/doom kind of sound that I've been enjoying so often of late. They've recently released songs on several split lps which are worth getting your hands on. So, without further ado, please enjoy the fuck out of this Georgia swamp metal....
