Footage from our Friday the 13th show with Burn Everything, These Machines, and Among Dead Men!



Burn Everything - They Don't Advertise Killers"

THESE MACHINES return to Ithaca for their official CD release of "Pharmakon" and to kick of the IU 2012 year!  These Binghamton pals have created some seriously menacing tech-metal with influences all over the grind, death, and hardcore spectrum while creating a hell of a lot of noise for just a trio.  Dual vocal attack from guitarist Tom Doud (also of Sepsis, Dirty Slits, formerly Cancerface) and bassist Paul Ghilardi who get their shred on without any hint of wankness and rounded out with sick kit work via Mike Emm.  Check out footage below from their gig at CSMA with Hiroshima Vacation, et al. from the fall.



Also on the bill are Rochester’s BURN EVERYTHING who, we’ve been itching to play Ithaca as far back as ’09 if memory serves.  This band is crafting some eye-opening, relentlessly scathing melding of metal in hardcore that's all twisted and mangled.  Recently, BE have been getting some national attention from a variety of online hotspots including Metal Sucks:

" Progressive post-hardcore? Dillinger / Burnt By the Sun-esque mathcore? Some other ultimately meaningless label? Beats me… how about just “good”? Burn Everything even introduce elements like elephants marching riffs, Morbid Angel pick scrapes and relentless double-bass pounding you don’t normally hear from bands that fall on the more hardcore side of the spectrum. A true melding of hardcore and metal that isn’t — gasp — “metalcore.” These guys get my vote for sure."



Local metallic hardcore quintet Among Dead Men will kick things off.

Tell us about yourselves!
Thirteen south formed in 2008 by three mutual friends (Doogie vocals,Matt Kelly guitar, Teja Buczuski bass) just looking to start a heavy band and have some fun. After some line-up changes, the current line up (with the exception of Bryan who's been filling in on guitar for a few shows - HUGE thank you to him), has been rocking out the last two and a half years all over the New York and PA, quickly gaining momentum as a solid band with a awesome stage presence with explosive riffs mixed up with neck jarring breakdowns.Thirteen South's whole purpose is just 5 guys doing what we do - making awesome music, drinking some beer and having a great time doing it. In 2010, the band spent a month recording with sound engineer, Mike Caporizzo to produce what would be so far, our only release "Remnants of You", which of the first 100 CDs sold within a four month span, but is available on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Amazonmp3 and more. With Ithaca Festival possibly being Thirteen Souths last show, expect nothing less then the best performance possible from us. If were going out, were going to do it proudly and with a big bang. Were all excited to play IFest, being possibly the first metal band doing so. We've all being looking very much forward to it and are proud to be among the many performers that grace Ithaca every year for it. After IFest, we're not really sure whats going to happen. The members who are leaving (or already have left) are irreplaceable as musicians and friends. Although a permanant second guitarist has been found, were still looking for a bassist and a vocalist after this performance. Hopefully we can get things back on track and be moshing out before to long. If anyone is interested in trying out, we'd be more then happy to hear from them.
