SUMMARY:PVRIS
DESCRIPTION:Radio 92.9 presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:30 pm \nThis event is all ages. \n*** \n \n*** \nPVRIS \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLynn Gunn – guitar/vocals/keys\nAlex Babinski – guitar/keys\nBrian MacDonald – bass/keys \nThere is a moment where every artist decides that it is best to create music based on instinct rather than expectation. For PVRIS\, a three-piece rock band from Boston\, that moment came during their conception. The trio formed in the studio while making songs for a previous project and realized that they needed to collectively eschew any preconceived idea of what music should be. “It occurred to us that we should just make whatever we want and not worry about fitting into the local scene\,” Lynn says. “Our vision was whatever we felt like doing. It was about making what we felt like making in the moment.” \nThat vision has manifested itself into PVRIS’s debut album White Noise\, which follows an acoustic EP that came out in April of 2014. The album is its own entity\, a collection of dynamic\, surging rock songs that combine the musicians’ collective influences and inspirations. The band has continually fostered an interest in electronic music and hoped to organically bring those sounds into their pop-tinged rock numbers. “We knew we wanted to go in a more electronic direction on the album\,” Lynn says. “We had that vision but we had no clue how it would actually sound. We let the music find itself.” \nWhite Noise was recorded last winter with musician Blake Harnage\, a longtime friend of the band\, in his home studio. It was Blake’s first time producing a full-length album\, but his influence became essential to the music. “Blake texted me after we signed to Rise saying he thought we could make an awesome record together and we worked it out and it was amazing\,” Lynn says. “He doesn’t have a filter. He just makes the music. He doesn’t care what people think of him or his music – he just lets his ideas flow and embraces them. He changed our perspective on writing and making music.” \nThe songs on the album are connected through the lyrics and the title\, which evokes both the supernatural and the harsh sound created by TV static and electricity. Ghosts\, often metaphorical\, populate the songs\, a haunting theme resonating throughout. Lines reappear in various tracks\, hinting back at one another and tying the album together. Each song exists as its own entity\, embracing different musical vibes\, but there is a sense of cohesiveness through White Noise. “St. Patrick\,” a propulsive rocker\, is driven by Lynn’s evocative vocals\, which soar over an electronic flourish that surges beneath the guitars. “White Noise” has a moodier quality\, its driving beats leading the way for a chorus that aches with longing\, while “My House” balances insistent\, pummeling rock sounds with melancholy reflection. Together\, the songs create a darkly tinged album that resonates with confidence. \n“There was some anxiety in the studio because we would think something sounded amazing but that no one would get it or take to it the right way\,” Lynn says. “But we got over that fear. Blake helped us find confidence in what we were making. We had to be happy with what we were making no matter what and that was the mindset we had for the rest of the process. We’re super proud of the record and how it represents us as a band.” \nPVRIS\, who has toured the U.S. several times in the past few years and played Warped Tour in the summer of 2014\, have reimagined their live set-up to reflect the album. Ultimately\, PVRIS wants to make music that is their own. Without expectation\, the musicians have songs that give something important to their audience – whatever that may be. \n“I hope people can take anything they desire away from this record\,” Lynn says. “It can be anything. We made the music because we loved it and now it can belong to everyone else.” \n*** \nLydia \n \n[Facebook] [Twitter] \nLydia is an indie rock band from Gilbert\, Arizona. Formed in 2003\, frontman Leighton Antelman along with a different array of band mates released three albums and took to the road for their first headlining tour in 2008 in support of their record Illuminate. \nAfter a brief hiatus in 2010\, the band returned in September 2011 with a new song\, and their album\, Paint it Golden\, was released shortly after in October of that same year. Lydia’s success has led them to tours such as the Zumiez Couch Tour\, Vans Warped Tour\, and The Bamboozle Festival as well as extensive headlining and supporting tours across the US\, Canada\, and the UK. \nIn March of 2013\, Lydia released Devil\, produced by Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine\, This Century)\, as a follow up to 2012’s Acoustics EP. The band toured in support of the record\, then Lydia re-released Devil in a deluxe version shortly thereafter. \nIn September of 2015\, Lydia released their latest full length Run Wild – coproduced by Aaron Marsh (of Copeland) and Colby Wedgeworth. The band embarked on a headlining run with support from Turnover\, Seahaven\, and The Technicolors. The band has earned press coverage by many reputable press sources over the years including Alternative Press\, Absolute Punk\, idobi radio\, Guitar World\, and more. Lydia’s most recent music video\, for “When It Gets Dark Out” off of Run Wild\, has been picked up by major media outlets MTV\, AXS TV\, and Yahoo Music to name a few. The band plans to continue to tour on the success of Run Wild. \nLydia is Leighton Antelman\, Matt Keller\, and Justin Camacho. \n*** \nCRUISR \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nCRUISR began in 2012 as the solo project of Andy States and quickly morphed into what it is today; an indie-pop band whose summery\, feel-good hooks are infectious and stadium ready. \nStates wrote and recorded the band’s first EP in his Philadelphia bedroom\, fixated on the idea of what it means to craft a pop song. “I have an obsession with writing pop music and the idea that songs can transcend people.\,” States says. “I saw that producer Jeremy Park started writing blog articles about how he recorded Youth Lagoon\, so I wrote to him and sent him my songs asking for advice and knowledge. He wrote back and loved my stuff and helped me produce the first EP.” \nThe six-song self-titled EP was released in the summer of 2012 and quickly garnered attention online and in the press. With all the newfound awareness Andy promptly realized he needed a band to bring his songs to the stage. “Jon was always my sounding board. I’d show him songs in the making and get his advice. It only made sense that he’d become part of CRUISR\,” Andy notes. With the addition of Kyle and Bruno the quartet set out performing whenever possible. And of course\, they continued to write. \n“The writing process definitely changed once we became a full band. I’ll work on my computer and bring the idea to Jon. By that time it’s structured and has a backbone\, guitars are figured out etc. Jon elaborates on the idea with drums and it goes from there.” In late 2013 CRUISR released a new track online\, “Kidnap Me\,” which attracted even more positive attention than the EP. Representative of CRUISR as a cohesive unit\, “Kidnap Me” was the first track written as a band and showcases what CRUISR does best; sunny\, warm\, indie-pop. “It’s funny because we’re from Philadelphia and we write songs that sound like summer\, which is a fleeting season here. I guess it’s just because Philly is where we feel happiest\, and when we’re happy we write happy music.” \nFast-forward to present day when CRUISR is gearing up to release their second EP\, All Over\, which features definitive recordings of “Kidnap Me” and “Don’t Go Alone” as well as the brand new title track “All Over”; all of which were produced and mixed by Andrew Maury (RAC\, Panama Wedding\, Ra Ra Riot). All Over demonstrates how fantastically Andy’s mind is able to translate pop hooks. “How does pop music make everyone like it so much?” States laughs\, “Little kids hear it on the radio and just go crazy\, singing stupid songs. There’s something that’s so smart about it\, and a lot of things that people don’t notice are the key ingredients to writing a pop song. I’m just really into trying to decipher what those things are and trying to make pop music in our own way.” \nAll Over will be released on September 23 via Vagrant Records. \nCRUISR is Andy States (vocals / guitar)\, Jonathan Van Dine (drums)\, Kyle Cook (bass)\, Bruno Catrambone (guitar)

SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Hinder: Stripped - An Acoustic Tour
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts\, this show has been canceled. Refunds available at point of purchase. \n*** \n \n*** \nHinder \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nHinder’s certainly had quite the ride to arrive at this point in their careers. Their 2005 debut\, Extreme Behavior\, sold over three-million copies in the U.S.\, while its breakthrough single “Lips of an Angel” hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart. The record’s follow-up in 2008\, Take it to the Limit\, surpassed Gold status after debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with over 80\,000 copies sold first week. Meanwhile\, their third effort\, All American Nightmare\, dropped in 2010\, followed by Welcome To The Freakshow in 2012 . Along the way\, the band has shared the stage on national tours with everyone from Mötley Crüe and Nickelback to Aerosmith and Papa Roach. 
The multi-platinum Oklahoma City hard rockers Joe “Blower” Garvey\, Mark King\, Mike Rodden\, and Cody Hanson — entered the studio in the spring to begin recording a brand new effort which will be co-produced by Hanson and Marshal Dutton. There are no boundaries\, and every idea is going to be fair game throughout the process.
Hanson says\, “We like to think we can do anything. We don’t want to be stuck in a rut with one type of sound or formula. One song might have a country influence\, while another might have a pop influence. Then\, there are some heavy metal moments. We have every element covered on this record. You’ve got to do what’s best for the song.”
After nearly a decade\, Hinder are stronger than ever. Hanson concludes\, “This band was built around a strong core of hard work and friendship. Like it or not\, we’re going to be around for a long time.” \n*** \nLike A Storm \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nFormed by brothers Chris\, Matt & Kent Brooks\, New Zealand band Like A Storm has made huge waves in both the U.S & Europe – labeled “one of the hottest buzz bands out there right now\,” by National Rock Review. \nWith a brand new album out through Century Media/Another Century\, this year the Storm spreads to Europe and the rest of the world. \nThe band of brothers moved from Auckland\, NZ to North America knowing no one. Renowned for their explosive live show\, LAS quickly climbed the ranks\, having now toured arenas and large clubs all across the US with such heavy-weights as: Alter Bridge\, Black Stone Cherry\, Steel Panther\, Shinedown\, HellYeah & more. \nTheir connection with the crowds every night was instant – Their first album\, “The End of The Beginning\,” debuted in the Billboard Top 200 from nightly tour sales alone. \nLike A Storm’s brand new single\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” has been #1 on the biggest rock station in North America for 5 weeks. Its stateside success makes LAS the highest-charting New Zealand rock act in US radio history. \nThe track connected with listeners everywhere. When a new single typically lasts a few weeks at US radio\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” blasted for over 9 months! Outlasting singles from much more established acts. \nThe official video for “Love The Way You Hate Me”\, which features a zombie mob of actual LAS fans\, has over 2 million views on Youtube. \nThe track was inspired when someone at a truck-stop in small-town USA called one of the brothers a “freak.” Produced by the band themselves\, it’s one of the first\, if not the only\, charting single to feature the ancient Aboriginal wood instrument\, the Didgeridoo. When combined with crushing guitars and prog drumming\, “Didgeridoo Metal” was born. \nTheir brand new album\, “Awaken The Fire” is one of the first releases from Century Media imprint ANOTHER CENTURY\, and will be released all across Europe on March 16th\, 2015 \nLike A Storm will be touring all across Europe in 2015 supporting the release. \n*** \nBrad Ray \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nGrowing up in Rome\, Georgia\, Brad began playing guitar at the age of twelve.  His influences included such artists as Third Eye Band\, Prince\, White Snake and Maxwell.  Having a keen sense of creativity led to his writing with a particular focus on lyrics.  His writing styles range from ballad love songs to reggae and include topics as diverse as political and social commentaries as well as more personal and sensitive subjects with a mass appeal. \nWith his first album\, “So What\,” recorded at Kent Wells Studios in Nashville\, Brad showcases a collection of songs reminiscent of John Mayer\, Dave Matthews and Sublime.  The album includes songs such as the title cut\, “So What\,” “Homeward Bound\,” “Crimes\,” and “Twisted.”  His talents stretch to more than just the guitar\, playing banjo\, bass\, drums and keyboards.  A-list studio musicians from Nashville included session leader Mike Brignardello\, Mike Rojas\, Rob McNelley and Matt Combs. \nWhile attending Temple University in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, Brad began writing hundreds of songs and performed around the city before returning home to the Southeast and beginning to play locally.  He currently is still writing\, performing and touring with his band\, Guest House.

SUMMARY:Chelsea Wolfe
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nTickets on sale Wed. 3/2 at noon! \n*** \n \n*** \nChelsea Wolfe \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nSleep paralysis plagues singer/songwriter Chelsea Wolfe\, and that strange intersection of the conscious and the unconscious has inadvertently manifested itself within her work. Across the span of her first four albums\, there is an underlying tension\, a distorted and nebulous territory where dark shadows hover along the edges of the sublime and the graceful. But until now\, Wolfe’s trials and tribulations with the boundaries between dreams and reality have only been a subconscious influence on her work. With her fifth album\, Abyss\, she deliberately confronts those boundaries and crafts a score to that realm she describes as the “hazy afterlife… an inverted thunderstorm… the dark backward… the abyss of time.” \nChelsea Wolfe’s material has always felt intensely private\, from the almost voyeuristic bedroom-production aesthetic of her debut album The Grime and the Glow to the stark themes and atmospheres of 2013’s Pain Is Beauty. “Abyss is meant to have the feeling of when you’re dreaming\, and you briefly wake up\, but then fall back asleep into the same dream\, diving quickly into your own subconscious\,” says Wolfe. To conjure this in-between world\, Wolfe continued her ongoing collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and co-writer Ben Chisholm and drummer Dylan Fujioka\, with Ezra Buchla brought on board to play viola and Mike Sullivan (Russian Circles) enlisted to contribute guitar. The ensemble traveled to Dallas\, TX to record with producer John Congleton (Swans\, St. Vincent). In the back of her mind burned the words of designer Yohji Yamamoto: “Perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make\, I want to see scars\, failure\, disorder\, distortion.” The resulting eleven songs reflect that philosophy as they smolder with human frailty\, intimacy\, quiet passion\, anxiety\, and deep longing. \nAbyss opens with the disorienting lurch of “Carrion Flowers”\, where Wolfe weaves a hypnotic vocal melody over monotonic industrial thuds\, much as an Indian raga is constructed around a lone note or swara. On “Iron Moon”\, the band pushes for extremes in its loud-quiet-loud strategy\, alternating between hushed balladry and gargantuan doom. On “Dragged Out”\, glacial-paced fuzz riffs underscore Wolfe’s sultry verses\, until a howling wail of distortion dominates the chorus. But there are certainly moments when the brutish elements are reigned in—“Maw” could serve as a lullaby and “Crazy Love” harkens back to the humble acoustic compositions of her Unknown Rooms album. But between them we have “After the Fall”\, the centerpiece of the album\, where the abrupt tonal shifts\, descending chord progressions\, and climactic vocals illustrate Wolfe’s fascination with Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections by Carl Jung. “I let myself drop\,” begins one of Jung’s recollections of his dreams. “I was so struck by that visual: the drop into the abyss of one’s own mind\, allowing yourself to feel things you’ve hidden away\, bringing them front and center. That became the goal of this album\,” says Wolfe. That surrender can be heard in the slowly escalating cacophony of “Survive”\, the penultimate square-wave hum and yearning of “Color of Blood”\, and the clamorous piano loop and disorienting arrangement of the closing title track. \n“Sleep and dream issues have followed me my whole life\,” remarks Wolfe as she revisits notes from the writing and recording sessions. In a way\, these issues have become a part of Chelsea Wolfe’s identity\, for whom the notion of sleep as an escape has been subverted. Abyss captures this dichotomy\, this battle between the soothing and the upsetting\, and demonstrates why Chelsea Wolfe has become one of the most intriguing songwriters of the decade. \n– Brian Cook\, 2015 \n*** \nA Dead Forest Index \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLandscapes both seen and felt\, real and imagined\, lie at the heart of In All That Drifts From Summit Down\, the vast debut full-length release from nomadic duo A Dead Forest Index. Comprised of brothers Adam Sherry (vocals/guitar) and Sam Sherry (drums/piano)\, the group crafts ethereal and intensely intimate compositions that defy trends and labeling\, instead shaping an aural experience as organic as it is unpredictable. Forsaking instrumental complexity in favor of richly dense vocals and an otherwise minimal palette\, the band evokes heaviness with the atmosphere they create rather than through blunt force. Teaming-up with Sargent House on the heels of a recent European tour supporting labelmate Chelsea Wolfe\, A Dead Forest Index are poised to introduce their sound to a global audience in 2016. \nA Dead Forest Index was initially the solo project of Adam Sherry\, begun in 2008. By 2010\, it had evolved into a collaboration\, with Sam Sherry supplying percussive depth to his brother’s distinctively hymnal approach to vocals\, itself characterized by cyclical harmonies and experiments with drone. Untethered by place (or\, for that matter\, era)\, they’ve spent the past few years developing their sound\, touring extensively between 2012-2014\, and issuing the EPs “Antique” and “Cast of Lines” in the process. The latter was released by Jehnny Beth of Savages’ Pop Noire label\, a precursor to the collaborative Savages/A Dead Forest Index composition and performance titled “In What I’m Seeing; the Sun” for the Barbican’s Station to Station Festival in 2015. \nThough basing themselves periodically in locales as far-flung as Melbourne and London\, the oceanic grandeur of A Dead Forest Index’s songs suggests a spiritual mooring in their homeland of New Zealand. Their influences are rich and untapped: the poetic\, archaic ‘deep song’ of Indian and Andalusian origin\, Romanian lăutari troupe Taraf de Haidouks\, and the allegorical symbolism found in William Blake have all been cited as antecedents. The group have themselves been compared to The Velvet Underground with Nico\, Scott Walker\, Swans with Jarboe\, and Antony and the Johnsons\, to name a few. \nIn All That Drifts From Summit Down\, their debut album\, is a testimony to the sublime divinity of nature and the cold reality of time’s passage. Unfolding over 13 tracks\, the album imagines natural phenomena as poetic metaphor for the human condition\, the lyrics evoking stone\, cold air\, unyielding emptiness and erosion\, while the enveloping warmth of Adam Sherry’s layered\, choral vocals makes for an intriguing contrast. “Cast of Lines” is a prime example of this\, its rapturous “In all our currents / a fog upon the sea at night” mantra accompanied by little more than a strumming guitar. Sam Sherry’s steady rhythms propel some tracks\, like “Tide Walks” and “No Paths”. “Ringing Sidereal”\, on the other hand\, unwinds more slowly\, a dark cavern of a song with flickering sparks of percussion emerging only where necessary. Occasionally swells of noise take shape. On “In Greyness the Water”\, a slow-building churn buffers the repeating “In… fall… colour” chorus that penetrates through the cacophony like spires through fog. Savages guitarist Gemma Thompson guests on two tracks\, providing a wiry undercurrent to the brilliant postpunk stomp of “Myth Retraced”\, before fortifying the processional stride of “Sand Verse”. In All That Drifts From Summit Down is a potent\, compelling statement\, an exercise in restraint and severity whose icy hue only accentuates the warmth at its core. \nA Dead Forest Index epitomize the possibilities of the modern age. Weaving threads of disparate influence from around the world into a captivating tapestry\, the duo exemplify their own transience\, producing mature\, wholly inspired work unbound by time or place.

SUMMARY:M. Ward
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:45 pm \nThis event is 18+.\nTickets on sale Fri. 1/15 at 10AM! \nTickets available at TICKETMASTER.COM\, or by phone at 800-745-3000. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nM. Ward returns with a stunning new album\, More Rain\, for release on Merge Records on March 4\, 2016. Ward has released a string of acclaimed solo albums over the past several years\, along with five LPs with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him and a 2009 collaborative album with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis under the moniker Monsters of Folk. In addition to his celebrated work as a musician\, Ward is an accomplished producer\, handling those duties for such luminaries as Mavis Staples\, Jenny Lewis\, and Carlos Forster as well as his own musical projects. \nM. Ward knows how to live with rain. Having spent the last decade-and-a-half based in the perennially damp Portland\, Oregon\, the singer-songwriter and producer has learned how to shine through the soggy gloom by simply embracing its inevitability. For Ward\, there is inspiration in a dark sky and harmony in foreboding winds. And with his new album More Rain\, he has made a true gotta-stay-indoors\, rainy-season record that looks upwards through the weather while reflecting on his past. \n“I think one of the biggest mysteries of America right now is this: How are we able to process unending bad news on Page One and then go about our lives the way the style section portrays us?” says Ward. “There must be a place in our brains that allows us to take a bird’s-eye view of humanity\, and I think music is good at helping people—myself included—go to that place.” \nThis album\, Ward’s eighth solo affair\, finds the artist picking up the tempo and volume a bit from his previous release\, 2012’s A Wasteland Companion. Where that record introspectively looked in from the outside\, More Rain finds Ward on the inside\, gazing out. Begun four years ago and imagined initially as a DIY doo-wop album that would feature Ward experimenting with layering his own voice\, it soon branched out in different directions\, a move that he credits largely to his collaborators here who include R.E.M.’s Peter Buck\, Neko Case\, k.d. lang\, The Secret Sisters\, and Joey Spampinato of NRBQ. The result is a collection of upbeat\, sonically ambitious yet canonically familiar songs that both propel Ward’s reach and satisfy longtime fans. \nMore Rain begins with an actual rainstorm\, then throughout the album\, guitars chime\, chug\, and riff with Ward’s unmistakable earthy tone\, while layers of atmospheric reverb and skittering drums climb and clip in equal measures. As the cloud of noise rolls in\, the layers part ever so slightly to make way for Ward’s voice\, which can play wispy and whimsical in one moment (“Pirate Dial”) or crackling and smoky in the next (“Time Won’t Wait”) just as well as it can climb to clear-sky clarity (“Confession”) then drop down to smooth\, soulful crooning (“I’m Listening”)\, each one after the other. “Girl From Conejo Valley” is a nostalgic trot through people he used to know and a place he used to be\, and “Slow Driving Man” is sweeping and lush in its orchestral climb towards confident heights. \nAs the album ends with the self-assured swing of “I’m Going Higher\,” voices join together in a chorus of rising “ah”s and\, for just a second\, it seems the storm outside has slowed\, making room for a ray of hopeful sunlight. As Ward knows\, the rainy season is sure to return\, but for now\, More Rain is here to help us with our perspective. \n*** \nPre-order More Rain on CD or LP in the Merge store. The first 750 pre-orders will received a limited edition translucent red vinyl.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Basement
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00pm / Show: 7:00pm \nThis show is open to all ages. \nThis show is SOLD OUT. \n*** \nSince abruptly announcing an indefinite hiatus only weeks after the release of 2012’s breakthrough LP Colourmeinkindness\, Basement’s intensely devoted following has only grown. Promise Everything is the band’s full-length return to writing and recording since the break. Challenged by the spacing out of members not only across the country – but across the globe – Promise Everything was written by piecing together songs without the luxury of a space or even a time zone to share. Perhaps this is why upon listening\, Promise Everything feels like a conversation between different people\, revealing different moods and feelings throughout. This conversation shifts and evolves\, filtering subtle\, tasteful alternative rock touchstones through the band’s unmatched melodic lens. More clearly aggressive songs like “Brother’s Keeper” and title track “Promise Everything” situate Basement at the forefront of the rock world\, pairing that aggression with an inherent sense of melody. On the standout track “Aquasun\,” lyrical flow and melody overtake the listener while overt meaning gives way to musicality and its nuance. Despite years spent apart\, it would seem Basement’s musical conversation has been one that has lingered even when after it was interrupted too soon by their premature & luckily temporary break\, and as their first true cohesive document\, Promise Everything is only the beginning of what Basement has to say.

SUMMARY:Baroness
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:45 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nTickets on sale Fri. 3/11 at 10AM! \n*** \n \n*** \nBaroness \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nPete Adams – Guitar\, Vocals\nJohn Baizley – Vocals\, Guitar\nNick Jost – Bass\, Keyboards\nSebastian Thomson – Drums \nBaroness’ triumphant new album contains some of the biggest\, brightest and most glorious riffs and choruses the adventurous rock group has ever recorded. But its title\, Purple\, also reflects a dark moment in the group’s recent history: the terrifying bus crash they survived while on tour in 2012. “The band suffered a gigantic bruise\,” singer-guitarist John Baizley says of the accident. “It was an injury that prevented us from operating in a normal way for quite some time. Hopefully\, this record is the springboard that helps us get away from all that.” \nThe album\, which is due out December 18 and which producer Dave Fridmann (the Flaming Lips\, Sleater-Kinney) helmed\, covers the gamut of emotions Baroness have experienced in recent years and serves as their victory cry. Purple finds a revamped lineup of the band – Baizley and Pete Adams (guitar\, vocals) and new additions Nick Jost (bass\, keyboards) and Sebastian Thomson (drums) – playing 10 intricately textured tunes and singing about the worry they felt immediately after the crash (“If I Have to Wake Up (Would You Stop the Rain)”)\, the struggle to recover as smoothly as possible (“Chlorine & Wine”) and their ongoing quest for survival (“The Iron Bell”). From its bulldozing opener “Morningstar” to the avant-garde 17-second closer “Crossroads of Infinity\,” the record is at once both their most emotionally threadbare and musically complex offering to date\, with passages that allude to their classic-rock roots as much as their crushing metal past. \n“We didn’t want to make a mellow\, sad\, dark thing\,” Adams says. “We needed to be up-tempo. We needed to be melodic\, and it also needed to be aggressive. In all of that\, I think we were able to get out everything we felt\, all of the emotion involved\, everything from being angry to wanting to continue to push forward.” \nBaroness formed in 2003\, slugging it out in their local Savannah\, Georgia scene while adhering to a DIY punk ethic\, booking their own tours and silk-screening their own shirts. In 2007\, they put out their critically acclaimed debut\, the sludgy\, guitar-banging Red Album\, which heavy-metal magazine Revolver named Album of the Year. They followed it up two years later with the heavier Blue Record\, extreme-metal magazine Decibel’s Album of the Year. But it was on their last release\, the 2012 double-album Yellow & Green\, where they really opened up\, exploring a slightly lighter touch with more accessible vocals and alt-rock arrangements\, leading to a Top 30 chart debut in the U.S. and Spin declaring it the “Metal Album of the Year.” Unfortunately\, the group would not be fully able to enjoy Yellow & Green’s success and accolades. \nIn August 2012\, less than a month after Yellow & Green came out\, Baroness were on tour driving in England when their bus broke through a guardrail on a viaduct near Bath and plummeted nearly 30 feet to the ground below. Through some miracle\, none of the nine passengers died\, though Baizley broke his left arm and left leg and the group’s rhythm section at the time\, bassist Matt Maggioni and Allen Blickle\, both suffered fractured vertebrae. \n“I was lying in my bunk when the brakes went out\, and I knew immediately once we picked up speed that we were going to crash\, period\,” recalls Adams\, an Army vet who went through the equivalent of a bus crash a day while fighting in Iraq and who earned a Purple Heart in combat. “I didn’t tense up. I didn’t brace myself. I just rolled over in my bunk and said a few peaceful words to myself and hung in there\, because I was like\, ‘Here we go. If it this is it\, then make it quick.’ I felt like a shoe in a dryer. Next thing you know\, it’s over and I’m standing there\, and I was not broken. I was burned\, I was cut\, I was bleeding\, I was dazed\, but I was OK. And I collected myself and started helping people out. But I absolutely thought the band would be over.” \nBaizley spent two-and-a-half weeks immobile in a hospital and then months to recover from his injuries\, but when he did\, he and Adams decided to keep the group going. “I spoke to James Hetfield\, who has also dealt with the fallout from a bus-related accident\, and he said\, “Life is going to be difficult for a while; but you’ll be fine. You’ve got this\,'” he says. “And once I had done some physical therapy and played guitar again\, I thought\, ‘Yes\, I’ve got this. It’s not over.'” \nLooking back on it now\, Hetfield was right\, and now Baroness’ members feel like they’ve gotten through the worst of it. “While we realize the accident is obviously of interest\, we have gone over that particular story’s details at length over the past few years\,” Baizley says. “We feel that this album not only addresses but puts a punctuation mark on that story. Baroness existed before the accident and will continue to exist\, and we’d rather talk about what we’ve created with Purple than let one side-story overtake or define who we are as a band.” \nOnce Baizley was ready to get moving again\, the first matter at hand was to find a rhythm section\, since Maggioni and Blickle had both split amicably with the group. To find the right people\, Baizley leaned on some famous friends for advice. Eventually\, Baizley spoke to Mastodon’s Brann Dailor\, who pointed him in the right direction to finding the group’s new drummer\, Trans Am member Sebastian Thomson\, to help build up the band again. “We didn’t try out anyone else\,” Baizley says. Another friend suggested that they check out someone whom she described as being the best player she’d ever heard. That turned out to be Nick Jost\, who not only played both the upright bass and bass guitar\, but was also a skilled piano player with a degree in jazz composition. \nWith a new lineup in place\, the group eventually embarked on lengthy trek that Baizley describes as a “thank you tour\,” to the fans who stood by the band in its darkest hour\, in the spring of 2013. Other than a handful of Australian gigs in 2014\, Baroness spent the time since then getting ready for their next chapter\, setting up their own indie label\, Abraxan Hymns\, and writing songs for Purple. \n“I wanted to celebrate my misery through my creativity and face it head on\,” Baizley says of the LP. “The lyrics on Purple are about the different paths that formed in the fallout of the crash\, from very direct stories about difficult moments of suffering to the love I feel for people who were there for me.” \nWhen the group finally got to work out the tunes in the studio\, they did so with a producer whom Baizley has always been eager to work with: Dave Fridmann. “He’s been on the top of my list since Day One\,” the singer says. “I never thought he’d work with us. I absolutely worship his recordings.” With 25 years of experience mapping out Wayne Coyne’s intricate flights of audial fancy on Flaming Lips records and making the most of bands generally known for understatement like Low and Spoon\, the producer helped the group construct a sonic habitat for all of Purple’s unique sounds\, including acoustic guitar\, otherworldly keyboard and echoes galore. He also helped them make the most of themselves. \n“We’re a very analytical band\,” Adams says. “We’ll write something and overanalyze it to the point where we feel we’ve edited the songs as much as they could be\, and Fridmann threw ideas at us that we’d never thought about before. We needed that outside ear.” \nBut Purple is perhaps most notable for serving as a vehicle for Baizley and Adams to move on\, and welcome Jost and Thomson to the fold. “They are both very talented musicians\,” Adams says. “They’re open to new ideas and you can rely on them.” \n“They said\, ‘We just want to make sure it kicks ass\,'” Baizley recalls. “That’s what I needed. I was in a pretty bleak spot when we weren’t playing. And when I realized that Pete\, Nick and Sebastian were excited – and I hadn’t felt that unified amount of excitement before – it pushed us into saying\, ‘We’ve got this.'” \n“The whole process was very smooth\,” Thomson says. “The only thing that required a little bit of work was learning how to write together. That took us a month or two to figure out\, but once we did we got on a roll.” \n“I made a mistake and hit the wrong chord at the end of a run through of ‘If I Have to Wake Up’ and out of that mistake we wrote ‘Fugue\,'” Jost says. “That shows how we grew. And then ‘If I Have to Wake Up’ shows just how far we came.” \n“We had a situation where a band had to rebuild itself with half-new members and an almost entirely new crew\,” Thomson says. “On paper that sounds like a possible recipe for disaster\, but we all clicked almost immediately. We still have that attitude to this day.” \nAdams says only recently\, since the group has gotten back on the road\, he thinks that Baroness has felt like a band again. And now with Purple under their belts\, Baroness are ready to take on the world. “There’s a lot more playfulness now\,” Adams says. “Everyone now is positive\, there’s no heavy bullshit. People are laughing and smiling more now in Baroness than I’ve ever seen. That’s real\, and I’m thankful for that.” The bruise is beginning to heal.

It’s adventurous\, and it’s organic\,” states Nergal\, the driving force behind Behemoth since their inception in 1991\, and brief exposure to the band’s tenth album more than supports this statement. While instantly recognizable as the work of the Polish blackened death quartet it takes their sound in previously unimagined and riveting directions. A writhing\, densely layered\, brutally violent and sinister record\, it is quite unlike anything ever unleashed within the canon of heavy music. As such it demands attention\, offering ever greater sonic and emotional depths with every listen. “You may hear the title and think it’s very primitive and one-dimensional\, and yes it is\, but when you look beyond that it’s as primitive as it is complex and multidimensional\, and that applies to everything about the record.” \nIt has been a rocky road leading to the realization of the album. Having dropped 2009’s Evangelion to almost universal critical acclaim they saw it top the chart in their native country and dramatically expand their following around the world\, and playing some of the best shows of their lives the band seemed truly unstoppable. But\, in August 2010 Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia\, stopping them in their tracks. Forced to abandon their ongoing tour in support of Evangelion Nergal was hospitalized\, and both he and Behemoth faced an uncertain future. With the search for a bone marrow donor ultimately successful Nergal underwent a transplant\, leaving the hospital after six months and beginning down the long road to rehabilitation. “I knew I was pretty much fucked and there was a battle to be won\, and I had no fucking idea if it was going to take six months or twelve months or maybe four years\, because with cancer you never know. I learned from being in the hospital that there are things in life that you can control and things that you can’t control. The sooner you realize which is which it’s going to make your life so much easier\, and since then I started to focus on the right things. I could be determined\, I could have discipline\, I could have faith\, but everything else is not under my control\, and it really was a case of just crossing fingers for the best possible outcome. I was fortunate enough that that recovery period was relatively fast\, and that I was really strong and very determined to get back into shape made a real difference.” \nRather than immediately getting down to working on a new album\, the band – also comprised of drummer Inferno\, bassist Orion\, and guitarist Seth – set out to complete the abandoned touring cycle for Evangelion\, hitting the road for the aptly titled Phoenix Rising Tour. Wanting to prove they were stronger than ever the first show was the only time doubts crept into Nergal’s mind. “I was a fucking wreck\, and I almost didn’t make it to the end of the set. The venue was really smoky\, and that was stuffing my nose and my lungs\, and physically I felt that I couldn’t pull it off. I did\, but I was close to passing out on stage. I was literally shocked by this\, I remember thinking while we were playing shit\, what if I can’t do this anymore? I’m just a human being after all. Going into the next show I had no sleep because of all the nerves and anxiety\, but it was fucking amazing. With every following show I would get stronger and stronger and grow more confident\, and aware of the fact that yes\, we will do this.” \nHaving returned to full force the band were ready to once more move forward\, and they began work on what would become The Satanist. While many bands might be concerned with how to follow up a record as devastatingly powerful – and successful – as Evangelion Nergal faced no such doubts. “I don’t race myself\, and I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Evangelion was a very important record to us\, and yes\, it was very successful too\, but in making The Satanist it wasn’t a point of beating that. The point was to do what was organic\, and make a natural and honest and sincere album\, and that’s it. Now the record is finished I like to think of it as an album that is just so different that you can’t really compare it to our previous works\, which is the best outcome I could hope for.” One thing is inarguable\, and that is the record is the most sonically rich and complex released under the Behemoth name. With layer upon layer of sound it has great sonic density\, but there is intricacy to this\, and nothing is forced or contrived. “I don’t have a kid but I think the process of raising one is comparable: you invest a lot of your energy and effort and wisdom and money and you educate them\, but there’s never a one hundred percent guarantee he’s going to become a lawyer and not a serial killer. It’s the same story with the records – we supply the elements but we just don’t know how these elements mixed together are going to come out\, and I think it’s fortunate that we don’t have one hundred percent control over it! It makes for something special.” \nThe title of the record itself is undeniable in its power\, and Nergal sees it as capturing the primal wisdom that the band have always tried to maintain. “To me it’s not pretentious at all. It’s very straight up\, very sincere\, and a devastating\, conquering statement. There’s no compromise or bullshit or gimmicks. What I love about it is that it just speaks for itself. On one hand it’s a very black and white title: The Satanist is like a fucking nail through the hand of Jesus Christ\, period. No more\, no less. But then again\, as with everything else you put a hundred people together and ask them what the name The Satanist means to them and you’re going to hear a hundred different opinions\, which they can then discuss and fight over.” Likewise\, Nergal views the lyrical content of the record as similarly open to interpretation\, encouraging this. “There’s a lot of symbolism and reflections and impressions in there\, and it’s using millions of metaphors to express a certain very sinister and very captivating atmosphere\, but there are no answers. People always like to have a deeper insight into what we do\, but that’s not what we want to give with this record. The way I see it is that between us we can make a huge fucking pyre and set the world on fire\, but what we’re doing is just giving you the matches\, giving you the spark\, what you want to do with it is up to you. Personally\, if I sat down with the lyrics in front of me I too would probably come up with a lot of different interpretations and concepts\, it’s a never ending process\, and that’s exciting to me.” \nTwenty-three years and ten albums into their career\, that Behemoth is still in the ascendant is a statement to their commitment\, determination and capacity for writing such powerful music. If ever a band was to go out on a high The Satanist would make for one hell of a swan song\, but don’t expect them to disappear any time soon. “I remember before we we had a record deal I was having a conversation with Baal\, the band’s original drummer\, and we said okay\, if one day we manage to record an album and put it out how cool would it be to split up right after that? It would be one record and no more\, and there was something about that that had an appeal\, but y’know what\, it doesn’t work like that for individuals like myself. Hunger has always driven me through life\, and I can never sit in one place and relax for too long because I have the need to explore this whole universe in every possible way. Now\, over two decades later it’s the same story. I can tell you I have no problems with finishing my career after this record. Just say the title itself: The Satanist. How the fuck am I gonna beat that title? It sounds like the ultimate definition of our art – but then again\, I remember that conversation with Baal\, and I know it doesn’t work like that\, so I know there will probably be other incarnations of our artistic identity\, one way or another. All I know is I love being here and now\, and I just want to underline that I couldn’t be more proud and happy with my own music. It really drives me through the day\, and now I just want to sit back and hear any and all opinions of it.” \nBehemoth is:\nNergal – vocals & guitars\nInferno – drums\nOrion – bass\nSeth – guitars
