Thee After Hourz O’ Power
- Here are the shows next week:
Deceased, Centenary, Tartarus, Sauron at Mac’s Bar on Sept. 23
Exodus, Obituary, Power Trip, and Dust Bolt at The Intersection on Sept. 26
Hope to see some of you at Mac’s this Saturday! I recently got to listening to Tartarus and I enjoyed what I heard. Their brand of mystical blackened death was a pleasure to hear and I urge you to check them out in Bandcamp if that suits your interest.
And I hope those of you who don’t have disgusting commitments on Tuesday nights like Advanced Lab can make it out to that stacked Exodus show. - Hourz is happy to announce that we found a potential successor to the show! I can’t reveal too much other than that we’re excited and that they’re freshman. That means that if they stick around, the show will go on for a few more years and that
we can coerce them into only liking the metal we likegroom them to take over the show. That also means I don’t have to eagerly harass every band-shirt wearing dude I see (though we’re still happy to have more people on board). - We rarely do double features, but the new Evil Invaders and Oraculum were too good not to play in its entire glory. Both couldn’t be much more different than each other, but I enjoyed them in different ways.
- Listening to so much aggressive, extreme metal can make one forget that fun upbeat metal exists. I’ve certainly gone through those ruts, and Feed Me Violence was a breath of fresh air among the glut of anger and aggression I listen to each week. They remind me a lot of Enforcer, a band which I had a very intense phase of back in sophomore year of high school.
- Speaking of anger and aggression, there’s Always Higher by Oraculum from Chile. Dagon from Inquisition remarked in our latest interview that the South American scene always seemed to be 10 years ahead of the American scene, and this album sounds so far ahead of most modern American death metal bands. Tech-death seems to be the biggest trend among American death metal bands these days, and while I do love the instrumental indulgence, most of them fall into the trap of getting lost among the notes and forgetting to put the soul behind their music. I have never listened to a South American band that didn’t mean what they said; their angst always seemed genuine and it reflects on their songs. Always Higher brought a balance of that angst while also writing balanced songs that paid worship to the death n’ roll sound of Bolt Thrower, but not too much as to sound like a shameless clone. I love discovering bands like Oraculum and I recommend them to anyone who has as much of a love affair with South American metal as I do.
That’s all I have to say to you metal friends. Thank you for listening and reading. See u next Thursday
