March Tours: Hot Graves // B A T I L L U S

The month of March in 2013 brings the mighty ringed planet Saturn out to dance in the sky above the waning gibbous moon. As Saturn peers over the earth from deep space, two bands of titanic proportions will make terrestrial landfall over the U.S., punishing its crust.

Hot Graves brings forth brooding evil d-beat with enough swag to make fashion punks shiver in their freshly-studded boots. Their latest EP, Fashion Victim unleashes four punked-out rippers expounding on their take of punk's upside down crossed, studded and back patched impact on high fashion. No one is safe from the wrath of the Graves, and when butt flaps make it to the runways and shops on Madison Avenue, be sure the knights in white phosphorus will be there to crush them.

While Hot Graves hastens the march to your shallow place of rest, Batillus composes deep industrialized doom for the requiem. Your decomposing body will have time to reflect on its past life as Concrete Sustain pulses slowly into a bleak realm of pain and urban decay. Batillus' guitars chug and sustain into glorious feedback while synthesizers loom overhead of pounding drum and bass.

Like Saturn watching closely overhead, you should keep watch of Hot Graves and Batillus as they hit the road this March. All tour dates are listed below.

People doing stuff: Metalcakes

 Yes, our friends Stevie and Rob of Dark Castle are doing stuff, stuff around the world.. Playing beautifully heavy music. They are truly inspiring and have inspired a new Metalcake, the Awake in Sleep cupcake. These cakes are based off of the first track of Spirited Migration "Awake in Sleep" and even have some coffee in them! mmmmm. I love Metalcakes so creative and delicious, I first wrote about them here as they are a fond memory touring with Black Cobra.

BLACK FUCKING COBRA

Ok, so the only time I post anymore is when I start a tour. I'm sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting to fly to San Francisco to meet up with the Black Cobra dudes for another US//Canadian tour. This time we're teaming up with Gaza, Torche and the legendary Corrosion of Conformity! We actually just ended a two week European tour with COC and Zoroaster. All theses dudes are super tight! The shows were awesome! The highlight was probably Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland where BC headlined the Afterburner in front of a couple thousand stoners.

Go here for picture updates, I probably won't blog much..
