stoner doodles from 10th grade geometry class: the cover of Death's Procession Just realized the reason why I was still awaiting the release of Saviours’ fourth full-length album was because I’d missed it; when Death’s Procession (Kemado 2011) came out this past September 6, I was grueling and grinning on “Day 2″ of [...]  Holiday shopping can be joyous, creative, and inspired. It can also completely suck. Here is a Top 10 list of suggestions for gifts for the types of folks who would be into something like, say, plants, metal, beer, and plants. 10.) Botanical Beauty: Garden Apothecary products from fellow blogger, gardener, and organic body product [...] That's the spirit: horse It’d been awhile. The last “ENVIRONMETALIST” odyssey had been way back in April, teaming the Big Four in Indio with a smattering of unofficial wildflower hunts. When, almost half a year later, the opportunity arose to be the merch bitch for Mendozza on their tour to support their new, [...]

When I first started Phyte Club, I was thrilled to find Metalcakes, a blog singularly devoted to baking gorgeous cupcakes inspired by metal bands. Not only was the commentary smart, the music choices exemplary, and the metalcakes given punny names like the Black Breath-inspired “Raspberries to Oblivion,” but it was like I’d [...] Goatsnake: Flower of Disease Few earthly substances are as wholly complete to the senses as honey and vanilla. The first, honey: pure sunshine thick, the golden currency of the plant realm, the nectar of the gods bestowing potent immortality. The second, vanilla: unsurpassably warm and inviting, derived from the fruits of a tropical [...] This is why a lot of people think environmentalists are batshit crazy. this is what Brazilian rosewood can look like Last week the Feds raided the Memphis and Nashville, TN, headquarters of Gibson guitar because the corporation had a hefty stash of illegally-harvested, endangered hardwoods, such as rosewood and Madagascar ebony. This, to [...] “Lord! And Master! Shepherd! Of Sounds! Maaaaaaaaaan Overload!“ Oh, what? Wait, it’s not…? It’s “Max Overload?” Are you sure? With an “x”? Well, that kind of sucks. What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t you think “Man Overload” makes more sense, and sounds way cooler? Maaaaaaaaaaan Overload!
Last Tuesday night I experienced a rare occurrence. All three bands that played a show were fucking great. The eagle has landed. This unholy trinity took place at Eli’s Mile High Club, a dive in sketch Oakland where Sleep played that “secret” show less than two weeks ago; the vibe was still present. The [...] I resisted subscribing to a magazine devoted to metal for a long time. It just seemed too conscious a badge of fandom, and felt reminiscent of 4th grade when Laura Lyons and I would trade Teen Bop! posters of Bon Jovi and New Kids on the Block at recess. Plus, I’ll admit, with heavy [...] |
