Deadsea - "Killing Faith (Crying Death)"

Deadsea was formed in 2003 by singer, songwriter and guitarist Adam Smith, who was looking to create music that would provide "apocalyptic visions for positive ascendance." He found a willing participant in bassist Alex Conley, and the two added drummer Jeremy Spears to the mix in '06 to round out the band's awe-inspiring molten blend of thrash-metal, doom, hardcore and progressive improvisation. The band released its album debut, Desiderata, on the Chrome Leaf label in 2005, following it up with a self-titled album for the label in 2007. They are currently looking for a larger label to handle the hot property that will be their third recorded effort.

Deadsea have a few tour dates already set, but are preparing an all-out aural assault on America throughout 2008. Get ahead of the curve and ready yourself for Deadsea's sound & fury now...before it's too late!

Spend some time with Wildlife!

San Francisco avant-metal provocateurs Wildlife kick off a six-week tour on Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 with what promises to be a slam-bang performance across the Bay in Oakland. The band is touring in support of its recently-released Crucial Blast album Six, which is garnering gobs of praise wherever they're writing about it.

Decibel mag sez "...there’s something charming about how homemade it all sounds – if not otherworldly, then at least coming from another room full of awesome drugs, vocals muffled by fuzz and reverb." The good folks at Exclaim!, well, exclaim about the album, "toeing the line between cunning and codswallop, Wildildlife’s music is best illustrated by the mosaic skull on their album cover: spooky, crazily colourful and inviting inquiries."
