Burmese
Putting the mental in experimental, you can't just say Burmese is all-out brutal because their sludge is of the finest grit against the skin of interior experience, a silty sort of mortar that bonds you to the sum total mass of matter, dark matter, and collective sentience in the omniverse. How they get you there is a heels over head traverse along the arc of a melting metronome, sometimes a few seconds long, sometimes an eternity. You land with each oscillation like a scrap of hay atop a stack of needles, a split second to yourself before their next tune plucks you by the ear, a comet tail of distortion streaming in your wake. If you haven't yet heard (and marvelled at the cover art) of their 2xLP on Fuck Yoga Records out of Macedonia, untwist yourself and figure it out fast. Consider it a metaphyical stretch before you're standing a few feet away from them inside the Peacock Lounge's Gold Room this Thursday.

Pandiscordian Necrogenesis
The compelling contraint of lo-fi metal becomes far more stark when further constrained to the blinding blur of just two arms, two legs, and one forked tongue. How it's possible for one soul to let loose this tightening vortex of darkness that warps, leans, stretches and still destroys with pinpoint resolve is a diabolical mystery. Pandiscordian Necrogenesis is the solo project of San Francisco's Ephemeral Domignostika and if's clearly too intense for the likes of a Henry Rollins' collection, the Tasmanian Devil listens to absolutely nothing else. Like Taz, the moments of stillness seem even more dangerous, synth ambient instances of deep reflection, a chance to drip dry and stare down your next.

Foreskin Sashimi in Paradise
Sewn together from ninety-three locally sourced foreskins then slow roasted to perfection in an imported Siberian outhouse, this fusion twist on an old fashioned delicacy is sure to make the driest mouth water.
