Everything Fit To Print About ([Southern Lord])
April 11th, 2007
Weedeater is about to release a new album, God Luck and Good Speed on Southern Lord Records. The label revealed a few juicy details about the production :
The album was recorded in Jan. and Feb. of this year in Chicago at Electrical Audio with Steve Albini at the controls. The result is massive, mammoth and crushing! To compliment the audio, artist Arik Roper (Sleep, High on Fire etc..) will be handling graphic art duties. Please have a shot of whiskey in honor of this glorious moment.
so far, there is not an exact release date, but it will be out this summer.

from Southern Lord’s news :
Southern Lord Recording artists: EARTH will be performing at a special FREE in-store performance!
where: Easy Street Records Seattle (Queen Anne Store)
when: April 21st // 7PM
why: In comemmoration of their new album release: “Hibernaculum”
Go check it out and dont forget to pick up the new CD/DVD/LP!
this is quite a treat! i usually have to pay $20 to see these pioneers of the Drone sound. if you are in the Seattle area, don’t miss this opportunity. even if you are not sure that you like this style of music, the only way to tell is to hear it LIVE and LOUD!
this latest creation, Hibernaculum, has a real traditional country twang. it’s a very unique sound, cultivated in a real roots manner. not what most people think of when someone labels it metal.

from the font of information this week, Southern Lord drops yet another tidbit about how we can best experience the power of the DRONE!
sunn 0))) will be making a rare appearance in a special performance in Bergen, Norway this weekend.
SUNN O))) @ BOREALIS FESTIVAL
March 18th - Bergen Cathedral, Bergen
(Lineup: Anderson, SOMA, Ambarchi, Csihar, Steve Moore,TOS, Lasse Marhaug)
for more info :
Borealis Festival webpage and
Visit Norway Article
oh, how i wish i could teleport to all the places that i want to be! Sunn O))) are amazing, especially in concert. i highly recommend seeing this if you are able to. they put on a very dramatic ritual metal performance. O’Malley and Anderson are super nice guys as well
Sunn O))) plays “Drone Metal” sometimes referred to as stoner metal. It is a genre that was created or made famous by the band Earth, which i have also been posting news about lately. Sunn O)))’s take on it is to play one note on electric guitar, and let it sustain for a long time. as this note lingers in the air, its harmonics morph and synchronize, producing other tones and sounds. this is enhanced by the interaction between guitar and amp, as the guitar is moved closer to or further from the amp, feedback and resonant frequencies come into play. it’s a very powerful effect, which is why i suggest hearing it live. it is best experienced LOUD!
