Steve Von Till is in Neurosis and like Mark Lanegan’s solo albums; it’s a chance to step away from the band, breathe deeply, and flex the sensitivity muscles.
With a roster like Neurosis, Soilent Green, Nile, Incantation, Amorphis, Today Is The Day, and Dillinger Escape Plan, how can Relapse be anything but quality?
The delicate moments provide a welcome, tranquil contrast to Neurosis’ signature, bone-crushing guitar and drum-riddled tunes. Steve Albini at the helm.
La Gritona are one of Boston’s few good bands, easily levitating over the usual indie swill and three-chord power-pop pablum. Too bad this was their last show.
It was LOUD. Lots of guitars, screamed vocals, and brutal percussion. At one point, both of the guitarists were beating the skins along with the drummer.
