GOROD Will Be Coming To The States Soon For A Tour!

Hell yes! The U.S. is finally getting some Gorod up in here! The only current downside to this situation is that I have no idea if it'll be coming to a city near you, or more importantly a city near me. Update: We now have tour dates: (more…)

Frank Discusses 20 Releases of 2012

If you read my intro to last year's list, you already know how strongly I feel about music, an expressive art form, being forced into a competitive sport-like structure. I do however, love to share my passion of metal with the world every day, and as some of you know, spend more time seeking out and working with bands than almost anyone else in this business. So why not use this opportunity to spread some metal love? (more…)

THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases Out Today – 5/8

The metal gods have spoken, and the cosmic wheel of new releases ever turns. Last week we got by on the strength of no-names and hidden gems; this week, we're bombarded with major releases from across the globe and across all genres. Two highly anticipated and longggggg awaited debuts from Storm Corrosion and Ne Obliviscaris will finally see the light of day, we'll get some shiny new tech-death from Gorod and Cattle Decapitation, and we'll reflect on the re-issuing of Sleep's legendary Dopesmoker. And as always, there's some other cool stuff that I'm too lazy to mention. Check it out: (more…)

Album Review: GOROD A Perfect Absolution

Along with American juggernauts Cannibal Corpse and Sweden's Spawn of Possession, France's Gorod have helped finish off what has been one of the best months in death metal for some time. After the band's previous release, Process of a New Decline, the group found themselves with an overall more precise and musically demanding sound, but something seemed to be missing. "Disavow Your God" and "Watershed" aside, the songwriting seemed to be simply not as memorable, although certainly contained the group's most challenging material. What made songs like Leading Vision's "Hidden Genocide" stand out as both daring and quirky was basically absent, and exchanged for a more modern-sounding production and riffs that didn't stand out from the Obscuras and Decapitateds of the world.

OMG, A NEW GOROD TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We fully back French tech-death experts, Gorod. These guys are perfectionists and do not fuck around with their DM. They just released a new track, "Birds of Sulfur" which you can stream above. Pretty rad, right? Also, their album artwork for their forthcoming LP, A Perfect Absolution, which can be seen in the video is nuts! I can't wait for new Gorod, but it looks like I'll have a few months to go. The album  will be out May 8th on Unique Leader. [via MetalSucks]

Frank's Arbitrary List of Favorite Metal Releases He'd Like To Talk About In 2011

There are dozens of factors that go into creating a "great" record, and I try to consider them all while listening to music of any sub-genre, in any time period, from any geographical location (3 important elements that play a roll in critiquing music as far as I'm concerned). It's easy to simply write something off you don't like, and just as easy to fake something you do for the sake of continuously supporting a band you enjoy for one reason or another. These are mistakes I find amongst my peers in the music industry everyday (but I'll blog and rant more about that later), and none more pungent than the end of each year where we're unofficially obligated to grade bands into a competitive structure for which it doesn't belong. The mentality of art is not one of sport, but I'll blog and rant more about that someday too.

With that said, I'd like to provide you NOT with a structured list of favoritism or competitive nature, but merely 22 releases in no particular order that I listened to a lot this year. Why 22? because that's just how many I had something to say about. Like last year I've listened to hundreds of releases, and thoroughly enjoyed many more than you'll see on this list (like Scar Symmetry, Fucked Up, Absu, Ulcerate, Lock Up, Skeletonwitch, Noiser, and Dead In The Dirt to name a few), but I'm the kind of guy that can talk about music for hours if you let me. I know some of you don't read these forwards, and probably less of you read the description for each LP, but for the 1% of genuine music lovers and groove seekers out there like myself who spend endless nights on a quest for quality metal around the globe, I hope you at least find something new you might have missed, or something you'd like to revisit. After all this list isn't about me or you, it's about awesome bands, and sharing our love for music that reminds us why we do what we do in the first place. (more…)

THE FACELESS Guitarist Guests On GOROD Album

Talk about a meeting of power players! Michael Keene, primarily known as the guitarist behind The Faceless, recently tweeted "Just finished recording a guest solo for the new Gorod CD. Make sure to check that out when it's out. I think my solo came out pretty cool!" Holy crap! A new Gorod album is already expected to be awesome, but now add the fret-work of the Keene-machine, and you've got yourself a must-hear. I can't wait to hear what those Frenchmen come up with. The new album is expected early next year.

OBSCURA, SPAWN OF POSSESSION, GOROD, EXIVIOUS Announce European Tour; I'm Jealous

We get comments all the time from European junkies talking about how jealous they are of certain US tours that will never make it to their country. Well, now it's my turn to be jealous of you. We got an email this morning with an official announcement of pretty much the most broooootal tour package; I have ever seen: Obscura headlining, Spawn of Possession, Gorod and Exivious support. So much tech-death, so little time. I don't understand why Spawn of Possession won't just come play the US. Don't be pussies! Just do it. If you are a European junkie, and this tour is coming to a town nearby, you would be a fool to miss it! Here is the current routing: (more…)

GOROD Begin Work On New Album

Gojira aren't the only French metal band about to hit the studio. Fresh off the heels of their phenomenal Transcendence EP, GOROD, another great technical French metal bad is about to start recording a new album with producer French Mobo. Guitarist Mathieu Pascal will be recording his parts in his own studio. Both will collaborate on the mixing and mastering. We are patiently waiting!

Start Your Day With A Preview Of New GOROD Music

French prog-metal machine Gorod have released the above trailer for their highly anticipated self-released new EP, Transcendence. All the samples sound absolutely killer. The only way to buy the CD will be from Gorod themselves on their online store next month. Sounds great.
