Graveyard Will Bring Their Brain on Tour With CKY
Sweden may be best known as the birthplace of the 'Gothenburg Sound' pioneered by At The Gates or, perhaps more recently, the melancholy dynamism of Stockholm's Opeth, but there's another vibrant scene in the Scandinavian country-- that which summons the gods of Rock with a capital R; that which has Witchcraft and Graveyard at the vanguard...
Black Math Horseman’s New Era Apocalypse
Don't let their name mislead you. Black Math Horseman aren't a black metal band nor are they mathrock, and there isn't really anything 'galloping' or equestrian about their sound. The songs on their Tee Pee Records debut, 'Wyllt,' are dark, distant and dynamic, nestling comfortably into a place between the frigid, precise textures of recent Isis and the warm fuzz of psych and stoner rock with the
Doomriders Skate Deck in the Works
When Magic Bullet Records announced back in March they'd be putting out a limited series of Boris skate decks, I was intrigued. Then, Zoroaster joined the party with their limited edition 'Voice of Saturn' decks. So, when we had a chance to interview Nate Newton of Doomriders (and also Converge) recently, given his band's preoccupation with skate culture (see: "Deathbox," "Ride or D
Amplifier Worship: Sunn O))), Elder, Nebula
THE SUNN ALSO RISES: Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson, A.K.A. Sunn O))) (pronounced simply 'sun' for the uninitiated), released their latest opus, 'Monoliths & Dimensions,' recently via their label Southern Lord. The album is the band's most accessible to date, but that certainly doesn't mean a typical Metallica fan or Pantera devotee will be rocking out to this duo's dirges anytime soon. Wi
Doomriders Don’t Party Like You Think They Do
Despite the strong party vibe of Doomriders' debut album 'Black Thunder,' not to mention the band's raucous, "we're having a good time and we don't give a f*ck" live shows, frontman Nate Newton (who also plays bass in Converge) and his band of merry men don't booze during band practice...
Clutch Hit the Road with Wino; New Album in July
Maryland rock vets Clutch hit the road this week for a 15-date tour with Wino and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Look for that tour to hit parts of the Midwest and the south before wrapping up in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Immediately following the tour, the members of Clutch will be performing as The Bakerton Group at Washington DC's 930 Club...
Coliseum’s Ryan Patterson on Obama vs. Bush
"The differences between Obama and Bush are so far and wide for me to cover them would be pointless," Coliseum frontman Ryan Patterson recently told Noisecreep.
"It's obvious in every decision made and every word spoken," continues Patterson...

Cave In End Hiatus, Announce Show
Seminal Boston metal/hardcore-turned-space-rock-turned-temporarily-defunct quartet Cave In have officially announced the end of a three year hiatus. Good news, if you live in New England that is: The sole reunion show thus far announced takes place at Great Scott in Allston, Massachusetts on Sunday, July 19 and the band's new EP, 'Planets of Old' (Hydrahead; limited 12"; recorded by Adam Tayl
The Return of the Mighty YOB
As Noisecreep reported last month, veteren Pacific Northwest doomsters YOB have reunited and will be releasing a new album in '09, entitled 'The Great Cessation.' The band recently completed tracking and mixing the new record with producer Sandford Parker (Nachtmystium, Pelican, Samothrace), and Noisecreep managed to get some exclusive shots from the studio...
