Dead Man's Bones - In The Room Where You Sleep
This is a pretty freakin' creepy song as it is, even without my now associating it with James Wan's The Conjuring.
A friend turned me onto these guys briefly several years ago but they never made it into my rotation. Going to have to change that I think.
RIP Lou Reed
What more do you need to say about Lou Reed after listening to Metal Machine Music?
Nothing. Rest in Peace sir, rest in peace.
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
My friends Chris and Tori are geniuses at unearthing good metal. It's not their only interests, but there's just a rare knack for curation that has brought me hours and hours of enjoyment. Case in point - about six months ago they burned me a spindle of CD's that I am still making my way through. Today, fresh from a week in Chicago where I hung with them for several days, I popped on another disc from that seemingly endless spindle (a good thing). Black Breath - Heavy Breathing grabbed me from the opening bellow and did not let go. Here's that opener, Black Sin (Spit on the Cross) followed by another track I really dug, Children of the Horn. As per my creed, what I dig I try to buy, so I'm planning ordering both Heavy Breathing (2010) and it's 2012 follow-up Sentenced to Life, both on the always fantastic Southern Lord Records.
Also I can't help but remark that I was not surprised to find that Black Breath are from Washington state. As I fall further and further down my current Laird Barron spiral a lot of disparate elements seem to be aligning across some kind of giant, Washington-flavored pentacle.

Vintage Trouble
How the hell is this not the biggest band in the world? Seriously, I had never heard of these guys until my good friend Anthony (of Bittersweet & The B-Sides) told me about them yesterday. Said I'd fall in love the second I watched this clip.
He called that one.

New Blut Aus Nord - What Once Was... Liber III
Okay, it's obviously going to be a very metal sort of day. Cool, fits with my Midwest, October mindset. So about a week or two back Debemur Morti - possibly the best Black Metal label out there - sends out an email I read and haven't had a chance to get back to since. It was an update on new releases. One of those is the new Blut Aus Nord, What Once Was... Liber III. How does this band continue to put out this amount of great stuff? In '12 we not only had the final part of the 777 trilogy but also the second of the Liber... What Once Was series. And now there's the third Liber and it sounds - as all Nord does - just down right amazing. Follow the link back to the Debemur Morti bandcamp and get the entire digital album or pre-order the vinyl or CD - out Friday the 25th here.
