Check out a sneak peak here.


MEEK IS MURDER:  A maelstrom of noise through a brutal and spastic blend of grind, metal, and hardcore. "Algorithms" (recorded by Kurt Ballou of Converge), "88 MPH" concept cassette available on the road. Live footage here.


COLONY: Ultra-heavy blend of hardcore/punk/doom metal/sludge.




ZRUDA: Ex-Gaylord + Lazer/Wulf members crafting mechanical, doom-funk, synth metal shred-wraith.





RECKONER: Refreshingly atypical blend of hardcore and metal. Chaotic, ferocious, and featuring members of Fjord and The End of the Universe.





EBONY SORROW: A hybrid of black metal, gurgle blast, and punk rock poised against racism, homophobia and other forms of hatred.



HIROSHIMA VACATION: Local brothers ripping grind apart with lots of new recordings coming very soon...   Live footage available here.



BURN EVERYTHING: Chaotic blend of grind, hardcore, mathcore, and metal who have been on everyone's unsigned hotlist for some time. Check out tracks from their 7" Dullest Records debut.



AMONG DEAD MEN: Local dual vocal metalcore/deathcore attack! Info here.




DON'T GO INTO THE WOODS: Local blacked punk metal trio.




GRAUPEL: NEW local jazzy, punky, mathy quartet. Live footage here.




CHEERLEADER DEATH SQUAD: local noise-punk trio. Live footage here.

We've had a great month so far with the likes of Pterodactyl, new locals Time/Being, BEES///, why+the+wires, Mothguts, Don't Go Into The Woods, and The Invisible Hand. Look out for this Thursday with Like Wolves, Dope Body, Child Bite and Womyn Boiz. In the meantime, check out some vids below!


Pterodactyl "Esses" - 11.05.11

MOTHGUTS
Get read for Jersey jazz-metal quartet MOTHGUTS, this Saturday at The Space. More info on them below but first let's check out some video of this goodness...



Awesome. Want more? Well, it just so happens you can download Mothguts entire discography right here (3/4 down the page).

So far, the quartet have released three proper studio albums, a live album, a Christmas album, and an improv album. All of which are fully fueled with blistering, Satanic-fit-inducing metallic riffage, sax shronk and skree, a la Painkiller/Naked City/Last Exit but very much their own beast.

The Invisible Hand
We've got another damn good reason for you to show up - your first shot at picking up the latest album from Ithaca's own jazz-noise-punks, The Invisible Hand entitled "A Zen Philosophy" plus the release of guitarist/bassist Mark's own solo EP "The Rapture". Two spankin' new releases at one show. Need something to do in the meantime? How about this official music video from the TIH camp for the track "Fukushima". Come down to the space for more of Mark's video animation during their live set.



Don't Go Into The Woods
Closing out this three band evening is Ithaca's own black metal three piece. Don't Go Into The Woods. Check out some footage from their last IU gig at The Haunt. Who knew psych/folk singer/songwriter Mike (A)! had the blackmetal pipes!
