As previously reported, here it is: the fifth installment in the Isis Live series:
Red Sparowes have a new EP called "Aphorisms" up for pre-order. This has been in the works for quite a while already, with the download becoming available about 2 months ago, so I'm glad the vinyl edition is finally seeing the light of day. Red Sparowes is that instrumental post-rock band by guys of Isis, The VSS and Pleasure Forever. They kicked out Josh Graham and (temporarily) replaced him by the much nicer Brendan Tobin from Made Out Of Babies (dude, you still have one of my mini-jacks). I think right after their last European tour, Red Sparowes recorded this "Aphorisms" EP together with Toshi Kasai (the guy who ruled with the Melvins but somehow destroyed Big Business).
Robotic Empire just released the 5th repressing of "Panopticon", the 3rd full-length album by the mighty Isis. If you don't own this yet, here's your chance to get one. The pressing information is as follows:
Okay, so I had my doubts about this band. First of all, CAPITAL LETTER bands somehow get on my nerves, and the whole 'all star' thing always feels like a marketing scheme. GREYMACHINE featuring Justin Broadrick (Jesu, Godflesh, Napalm Death, Final) Dave Cochrane (Head Of David, God, Ice), Diarmuid Dalton (Jesu, Godflesh) and Aaron Turner (ISIS, House of Low Culture, Lotus Eaters), the parts don't really make up the whole. "Disconnected" sounds like typical Justin Broadrick, so anyone into either Godlfesh or Jesu will eat this up - and so do I.
