Ceremony @ Death by Audio (video)
Part of Ceremony's set at Death by Audio in Brooklyn. I had to get my ass out of that crazy crowd and decided to take some videos of it. Insane.

Magrudergrind @ Cake Shop (video)
Here's a video I took of (part of) Magrudergrind's set @ Cake Shop, Manhattan. They absolutely killed it. Fuck the Facts also played and they're amazing live and even though their singer is pregnant, she has insane amounts of energy. I have a video of FtF but haven't uploaded it to the 'Tube yet.

Boris...LIVE
In honour of the show tomorrow, here's a little playlist I compiled that reflects what I think their setlist will be (I'd love to think that they'll play Flood/Feedbacker/Amplifier Worship in their entirety but I doubt that's going to happen):
1. Farewell (full version) [Pink]
2. Rainbow [Rainbow with Michio Kurihara]
3. 8 [Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 1]
4. Luna [Chapter Ahead Being Fake split with Torche]
5. Floor Shaker [Statement 7'' (but I've uploaded the live version from the Wolf Creek show)]
6. Statement [Smile/Statement 7'']
7. Woman On The Screen [Pink]
8. A Bao A Qu [This song has several versions. Of the A Bao A Qu 7'', Mabuta No Ura Film Soundtrack, The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked and the Variations versions, the one on the 7'' is the best but it's also the longest so for the sake of brevity (relative to a Boris playlist, after all), I've put up the Variations version]
9. 16:47:52... [Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 3]
10. Akirame Flower [Golden Dance Classics split with 9dw]
11. Pink [Pink]
12. Korosu [Heavy Rocks]
13. 1970 [Heavy Rocks]
14. Untitled [This song is on Smile but the live version from the Wolf Creek show is definitely much better so I've put up that one]
So that's it. For a complete list of their discography, head over to their page on Metal Archives. If you're in NYC and haven't heard about this show and would like to check it out, it's at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
Misanthropic Noise (video)
I can't sleep so here's a couple of videos I managed to take during Misanthropic Noise's set. Misanthropic Noise are a grindcore band from the fucking woods of Connecticut of all places. They played the show as a 2-piece (bassist couldn't make it).
Unsane + Keelhaul
This post is in honor of this awesome show that I'm going to tomorrow (Unsane playing all of Scattered, Smothered & Covered goddamn!).
The first part of the post is Unsane's classic '95 album Scattered, Smothered & Covered. For those of you who don't know, Unsane are a noise rock/hardcore band formed in '88 and based in New York City.
The next part of this post is Keelhaul's Subject to Change Without Notice. Again, for those of you who don't know, Keelhaul are a mix of sludge and progressive (I want to say math rock but I haven't listened to much of it to know what it is) with some hardcore/post-hardcore thrown in for good measure.
p.s. Also playing at the show are Disappearer and Pigs. Haven't listened to much of Disappearer's work so I can't tell you if they're good or not.
p.p.s. if you're in the NYC area and you dig any of these bands (or if you just got into them because of this post lol), do show up at Santos Party House tomorrow for some good times!

Creative Waste - Cruelty Beyond Conception
Creative Waste are a grindcore band from Saudi Arabia (inb4lolwtf). I just got back watching them play at the Lit Lounge in Manhattan and they killed it. I had heard of these guys back in Dubai, where they were even supposed to play a show but they never got 'round to it due to problems with promoters and such. I bought Cruelty Beyond Conception at the show (and yes, I asked permission before deciding to put it up on for free download) and it slays. It's quite an improvement from their previous effort Colonies. Even though some songs are a bit long for grindcore ("Screamer" is 6 minutes long but I think there's a bonus track in there somewhere, not sure), it's still a very enjoyable listen.
The other bands that played were also great. Links below.
Misanthropic Noise (excellent grind from Connecticut)
Psytoxia (goregrind/grindcore from upstate NY)
Pyrrhon (progressive/tech death from New York that's very reminiscent of Death, Gorguts and the like)
EDIT: pics from the show are here.
324 - 冒涜の太陽
324 are a grindcore band from Japan. There's not much else you need to know, other than the facts that they've put out a bunch of splits with the likes of Venomous Concept, Discordance Axis & Corrupted and that they rule. This is their first album (pronounced "boutoku no taiyo").

toe - the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety
This has quickly become my favourite toe album and one of my favourite albums of all time. There was a toe post here not too long ago (For Long Tomorrow) but I'm posting this band up here again. This is instrumental post-rock at its best, imo. Not to mention their drummer is bloody insane. You should get this, you'll love it, no matter what kind of music you're into.Tracklist:
1. 反逆する風景
2. 孤独の発明
4. 向こう岸が視る夢
7. past and language
8. music for you
9. I do still wrong
10. メトロノーム
p.s. 孤独の発明 is just beautiful.
