On April 10, 2008, I went to a Dysrhythmia show at a venue called Luna Lounge. But before the trio went on, another band with guitarist Colin Marston played. At the time, this writer thought, "How many bands could this dude possibly be in?!" Yet, exactly 21 months later, I found myself standing in front of the same exact stage watching that same band -- which at this point in time has be

Crucifist may not be from Norway or Russia, but they do come from an exceptionally frosty place in the Northern Hemisphere -- Rochester, N.Y.

Hipster hangout Kung Fu Necktie is rapidly becoming the go-to venue for quality metal shows in Philadelphia, and those of us that call the 215 home couldn't be happier.

"Happy Halloween -- the best holiday of the year," Phil Elevrum of the Microphones and Mount Eerie greeted Market Hotel in Brooklyn on, well, Halloween. Mount Eerie makes American folky music inspired by black metal. It's some parts pseudo black metal, most parts singer-songwriter like Bright Eyes...

Brooklyn-based post-black metal quartet Krallice boast a formidable lineup that includes guitarists Colin Marston (Behold ... the Arctopus, Dysrhythmia) and Mick Barr (Orthrelm and Ocrilim), alongside drummer Lev Weinstein (Bloody Panda) and bassist Nick McMaster...

Chicago's Castevet make some rocking, instrumental post punk. They kind of sound like Russian Circles if only they were bigger fans of Taking Back Sunday. If that sounds like a different language to you, then good. The Castevet you really care about has nothing to do with those guys...
