Cerebral Metalhead: Exhausted Prayer / Dreaming Dead - Fall Into Ruin Tour Begins Tonight

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2010/10/exhausted-prayer-dreaming-dead-fall.html

Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Exhausted Prayer / Dreaming Dead - Fall Into Ruin Tour Begins Tonight. I'm coming out of semi-hibernation to help spread the word about a West Coast tour that I would see every night had I the time, financial means and ability not to come off as creepy for treating underground metal bands like the Grateful Dead. Exhausted Prayer share provenance (Los Angeles) and a drummer (Mike Caffell) with Dreaming Dead, whose debut. Worst of All Possible Worlds. You also need to see.

Cerebral Metalhead: D.I.S. - Critical Failure (Deep Six Records, 2010)

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2010/08/dis-critical-failure-deep-six-records.html

Tuesday, August 24, 2010. DIS - Critical Failure. Deep Six Records, 2010). It took me a long time to understand why D.I.S. (Destroyed In Seconds) guitarist Leon del Muerte would ever willingly quit. After seeing him play in Phobia and. Just signed to Relapse! I started to understand. And D.I.S.'s debut. Clinches it: Del Muerte prefers the direct to the oblique, the visceral to the heady. And that means unfiltered death metal, punk, thrash and grind. Guitarist Bruce Reeves played in SoCal grind stalwarts.

Cerebral Metalhead: 5/1/11 - 6/1/11

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 09, 2011. GO: Midnight/Saviours/Lightning Swords of Death, 5/14/11 @ The Roxy in L.A. How about we pretend that it hasn't been five months since I've posted. Agreed? More than any record though, I've missed going to metal shows over the last couple months. That's why I'm looking forward to Scion's next free metal matinee, coming up this Saturday at the Roxy in L.A. And also why I'm going to insist that you join me. And City of Devils. Will provide the soot-choked atmosphere. If there is a...

Cerebral Metalhead: Ovrcast 5th Anniversary - Friday the 13th in L.A.!

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2010/08/ovrcast-5th-anniversary-friday-13th-in.html

Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Ovrcast 5th Anniversary - Friday the 13th in L.A! As the price of a concert heads towards nil, my interest in attending it often heads the same direction. Why would a worthwhile band choose to play a slapped-together free show when they stand to make more money from a door charge at a proper club? And if there's a major sponsor footing the bill, who am I really supporting by attending? Are on tour like 580 days a year, so you know they're well-oiled. Huntress (reviewed. Are no...

Cerebral Metalhead: CHAINMAIL: Drowned Sorrow - Fittings at the Coffin Shop EP (self-released, 2010)

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2010/08/chainmail-drowned-sorrow-fittings-at.html

Friday, August 13, 2010. CHAINMAIL: Drowned Sorrow - Fittings at the Coffin Shop EP. The CHAINMAIL section reviews bands that were proactive enough to contact me directly. Here at Cerebral Metalhead, initiative is rewarded. I like The Red Chord. A whole lot. So do. Long Island's Drowned Sorrow. On their first official EP Fittings at the Coffin Shop. Drowned Sorrow synthesize many of the same metal-, grind- and deathcore elements as THC, but the similarities run deeper than genre signifiers. Both bands.

Cerebral Metalhead: Vaulting - "We Are the Cavalry" Video

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2010/11/vaulting-we-are-cavalry-video.html

Thursday, November 25, 2010. Vaulting - "We Are the Cavalry" Video. So It's Thanksgiving. The best of us will try to extrapolate some meaning from the holiday, acknowledging the sad truths about its origins (check out this link. Germany has its own version of Thanksgiving, a religious celebration called Erntedankfest. Literally "harvest festival of gratitude" - read more here. Birdie, sleep well. Far glimpse from hell.

Cerebral Metalhead: Dreaming Dead - Within One (Ibex Moon, 2009)

http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com/2009/01/dreaming-dead-within-one-ibex-moon-2009.html

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Dreaming Dead - Within One. Ibex Moon, 2009). Decided to shack up with Century Media, I've lacked an unknown Los Angeles metal band to champion to whomever will listen. Hence my excitement when I discovered Dreaming Dead on Invisible Oranges. Dreaming Dead bring a couple qualities to their debut album Within One. That remind me why I started listening to death metal in the first place. Dreaming Dead - "Within One". Gears shift imperceptibly from thrash to death to black and ba...

Sunday, July 05, 2009. Lightning Swords of Death/Valdur split (CultWar/Bloody Mountain, 2008). Formerly only available on a joint 2008 tour, this fearsome split from SoCal natives Lightning Swords of Death and Valdur is finally available at mom 'n pop metal shops.
