  • SUNN O))) announce their "Let There Be Drone (Multiple Gains Stages)" European Tour March 2019 #news #sunn #southernlordrecordings #doommetalfront


    © 2018 Sunn O))) & Ronald Dick

    SUNN O)))) present their first European tour since 2016, and the premier tour of their 2019-2020 season. Including their first ever French tour (not including Paris), returning to old haunt Kampnagel in Hamburg, mythical Paradiso in Amsterdam, as well as headlining Elevate festival in Graz, and Divadlo Archa Prague.


    Formed in March 1998 SUNN O))) have been challenging the ways we think about music in the twenty years since. A synthesis of diverse: drone, metal, minimalism/maximalism verging on the edge of pure sonic ecstasy, meditation and trance through the power, beauty and colour of sound pressure emanating from their legendary SUNN O))) backline and their earth shaking tectonic compositions of existence, dedicated to the mysteries of life and the cosmos.


    SUNN O))) has two core members: Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson, supported by a tribe of collaborators. From 1999’s “The Grimmrobe Demos” to 2018’s “Downtown LA Rehearsal/Rifftape”; from their now classic albums “Black One” (2006), “Monoliths & Dimensions” (2009), “Soused” (2014) & “Kannon” (2015) to their forthcoming to-be-revealed-but-recently-completed two 2019 album epics, founders Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson have forged paths and connections between the worlds of Metal, contemporary art, drone, new music, jazz and minimalism with startling results while remaining true to the eternal principles of volume, density, elasticity of time, blossoming of saturation viable only to the disciples and fetishists of electric guitar, synthesis, multiple gain stages and some of history’s greatest pure valve amplification.


    The current concert line-up extends around power trio of Stephen O’Malley (Guitar), Greg Anderson (Guitar), and their valve guru and long time collaborator Tos Nieuwenhuizen (Moog), aside selected special guests. Together they relentlessly pursue their exploration and elaboration of SUNN O)))’s legendary experiments with the physicality of sound in instrumental based live performances with remarkable events at some of their favourite venues, as well as concerts in singular events and spaces such as Italy’s impressive cultural complex Labrinto Della Masone, Germany’s Ruhrtriennale Festival of Arts, Royal Festival Hall & The Barbican in London, Bergen’s Dømkirke and Manchester International Festival being a few emblematic examples.

    Rejoin them in their glorious pursuit of the monumental heaviness.

  • MONOLORD sign to Relapse Records – new album coming late 2019 #news #doommetalfront



    Relapse is proud to announce the signing of Swedish trio MONOLORD. Formed in Gothenburg in 2013, MONOLORD quickly burst onto the scene releasing three critically-acclaimed full-lengths in a four-year span (Empress Rising, Vænir and Rust) on RidingEasy Records all while touring relentlessly around the globe. MONOLORD is a rare breed: A band both encompassing and transcending genre; a vortex of heavy rock density that consumes all others. The band’s enveloping, syrupy sludge is a state of mind, with guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger, drummer Esben Willemsand bassist Mika Häkki create a massive, dynamic sound with ultra-low frequencies serving as its fourth member. MONOLORD’s yet-to-be-titled fourth studio album is expected to be released in late 2019. Stay tuned for more information.
    MONOLORD comment on the signing:

    “Stoked about this! Working with people who are driven by the passion for music above anything else has always been key for us. The fine music lovers at Relapse are just the kind of passionate people we want to spread the decibel gospel with and we feel confident that this is gonna be a very sweet ride together.”
    MONOLORD are currently on tour throughout Europe with Kadavar. A full list of remaining tour dates is available below.

  • Nita Strauss/Angel Vivaldi show review

    Angel Vivaldi/Nita Straus guitar collective gig@greasy luck pub, new bedford mass.



    Angel Vivaldi layed down a blistering set of  incendiary guitar pyrotechnics. This one man band pulled out all the guitar hero stops and presented an award winning performance.One of the best guitar players I have seen. 

    b


          Nita Strauss delivered a fiery fury of shredding guitar. This is a shredders master class in pure passion. Her enthusiasm and love for her chosen instrument was readily apparent to all who attended. Her set included an incredible rendition of QUEEN’S “The Show Must Go On”. 


    Additionally Nita was joined onstage by Mike from EAST COAST ALICE(Alice Cooper tribute band) for an equally incendiary version of “I’m Eighteen.”. Strauss has established herself as one of the world’s premier guitar shredders. With her band of equally talented individuals behind her this should only be the beginning of a long career.

     Show receives 10/10 Wolf Howls
