^Excellent news! I really liked 'Abyss' and seeing her live was a great experience, especially because of Dylan Fujioka's drumming. Such a heavy sound coming from that guy. Not sure he has anything to do with this new record, but hopefully he's part of any supporting tour.

Thanks for sharing, that was a great read.

So many good songs off The Mollusk: Buckingham Green is my favorite though.

Sounds interesting:

Aug. 14, 2017, Denver – Primitive Race, the hard rock/industrial hybrid helmed by Chris Kniker with core members Mark Gemini Thwaite (The Mission UK/Peter Murphy) and Erie Loch (Wiccid/Luxt), release their sophomore album, Soul Pretender, on Nov. 3 via Metropolis Records.

As was the case with the band’s debut, Kniker brought an impressive group of guest musicians into the Primitive Race fold, with the full album featuring vocals by former Faith No More singer Chuck Mosley and drums by the Melvins’ Dale Crover. The album was produced by the band’s core trio, with Kniker recruiting Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More/Sepultura) for mastering, Toshi Kasai (Melvins/Helmet) for engineering and Joe Haze (tweaker/PIG) for mixing.

“Musically, Soul Pretender was a natural progression from the first album,” explains Kniker. “To have Chuck and Dale involved was perfect! They really brought a new vision to the project. Their style is a perfect match with Mark, Erie and myself. This record is more focused and organic. I wanted more of an alternative rock record. Stripped down. Live real drums. There’s space in the record. I didn’t want some overly polished ‘perfect’ record.”

Ministry tour cancelled! I seem to remember them doing a headline tour before in the Filth Pig era, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Was thinking of going to this, but happy to have saved my money for other things...

The rest of that festival lineup sounds pretty great as well!

A Frank Zappa hologram is going on tour. Think that's kind of missing the point of Frank Zappa.

Ah, so this is what the problem with the Zappa Plays Zappa thing - the other half of the family want to go down the hologram path.

First details with a pre-order of the next Godflesh album “Post Self” appeared on Norman Records. Release date in November. Stay tight for a press release and ordering directly from the artists’ label.

Over 2 years in the making, ‘Post Self’ explores the less 'metal’ side of Godflesh; taking in the formative influences, and spitting out something more informed by late 70’s early 80’s post punk and industrial than it is anything metal related.
Thematically personal and obsessive, exploring anxiety, depression, fear, mortality, and family relationships (Mother / Father).
AREC040VC - Limited edition white vinyl version. 1000 copies worldwide.

Song list:

Post Self
Parasite
No Body
Mirror Of Finite Light
Be God
The Cyclic End
Pre Self
Mortality Sorrow
In Your Shadow
The Infinite End

Their show at The Palace in Melbourne back in.....'96 or '97....is still talked about twenty years later.

[hellboy]

Back in 97 I think it was, the Jesus Lizard toured and played a now defunct venue called the Tivoli. It's still in my top 3 live shows of all time.

Sounds interesting - keen to see B rann do some grindcore:

The first group Embury touches on in an interview with The Void With Christina is one that involves Billy Gould from Faith No More on bass "on some of the tracks," Troy Sanders from Mastodon possibly also on bass, and "a guy from Voivod on guitar." The band will be called Tronos and will be produced by Napalm Death producer Russ Russell.

"One project, for about five years, I’ve been working on with a guy who produces our records. It’s got kind of a doomyish, doomy, weird, shoegazing, doomy kind of music. Billy [Gould] from Faith No More plays bass on some of the tracks, Troy from Mastodon, a guy from Voivod on guitar. ‘Cause the guy who produces our albums, he’s part of it so, we can record for free. So he’s been zoning out on it forever. It’s called Tronos—which is just Spanish for thrones—I nicked it from a Game Of Thrones DVD in Spanish.

"Russ Russell, the guy who produces the Napalm albums and stuff, and all the stuff that I’ve been involved with, he’s got quite a graphic deal as well… So he’s got lots of visual stuff going on and if we can pull it off I’d like to play the ‘Roadburn Festival‘ in Holland, cause then you’d be able to do the projections. And because of the people involved I can only imagine doing the odd show here and there."

Embury also discusses another group he's got going with Mastodon's Bill Kelliher and Brann Dailor, and ex-Brutal Truth frontman Kevin Sharp.

"Kevin probably didn’t mention that me and him are doing a project with Bill and Bran from Mastodon. Well, he’s got about three million riffs now, we’ve just gotta try to arrange them into songs, it’s heavy stuff. We demoed it in Bill‘s studio, ’cause Kevin built Bill‘s studio for him. Kevin‘s a grindcore carpenter. So we just got a buncha riffs there, it’s a case of trying to work it out, it’s gonna take awhile."

Now all Embury needs is a third project with Mastodon's Brent Hinds, and he'll have collaborated with all of those dudes.

New track from re-formed Aussie prog rockers Cog today:

[Busty McCracken]

Last minute or so not so keen on when it hits the twelve foot ninja sounding riff, everything up until then I love. Everything I expected of them but I am a fanboy.

You going Adelaide Hboy?

Planning on going, though haven't picked up a ticket yet
