Epic Fuckin' Weekend Maaaaaan.

A huge thanks to everyone who came out to see Haunted Castle/We Are All Savages/Nanda Devi on Thursday and Deep in Vein/Rats in the Walls/Mutant Supremacy/Landmine Marathon on Friday. Awesome times were had at both and it was good to see NYC folks actually enjoying themselves. Everyband crushed it. Landmine blew me a fucking way man, some dude got his head split wide the fuck open and they just kept shredding. Anyways, check out this photo set of Rats in the Walls and rock the metal punk. If anyone has any Haunted Castle shots from Thurs lemme know?

Nanda Devi - Sludgefuckedintheear shit of the day

Yo just found out about this band Nanda Devi outta Portland (wow a doom band from the PNW, who the fuck woulda guessed?). Superheavy sludge with a damn good riff holding it all down. Occasionally gets not-quite "ambient" but definitely has a good solid/on off. If you're into the Eyehategod vox with a little heavier groove check this out.
