The New And The Heavy: WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM
As Cascadian black metal pioneers, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, prepare to release their latest LP, Celestite, another single from the expansive album has been unleashed exclusively via Vice Magazine's music portal, Noisey.
A synth-driven companion to their lauded 2011-released Southern Lord LP,Celestial Lineage, the Randall Dunn-produced Celestite LP is a far cry from the expected blackened maelstrom WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM fans are used to experiencing. Void of vocals, guitars and percussion, the instrumental passages on Celestite reflect the tracks of its predecessor in a whole new light, with more than forty-five minutes of rich, otherworldly, synthesizer-constructed works which more resemble a sci-fi/horror soundtrack or meditative musical experience than a metal album. The record's second track, "Initiation at Neudeg Alm" -- the parallel to Celestial Lineage's "Subterranean Initiation" -- provides perhaps some of the more sinister, ominous elements of the Celestite experience with a condensed, dirge-driven and yet still pristine six-minute journey into cerebral realms.
"Initiation at Neudeg Alm" is now playing via Noisey.
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM will systematically release Celestite on their own newly-founded Artemisia Records worldwide on July 8th, on CD, LP and digital formats. Preorders for the record can be found HERE.
Just days subsequent to the album's release, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM will traverse the West Coast on a nine-date tour. However, while Celestite focuses exclusively on layered, droning ambience, this West Coast tour will feature the band in their anticipated, full-backline black metal form. Their unique and fully devastating delivery will be unleashed onto their fans including older material which they have never performed live. Opening the tour in their hometown of Olympia on July 11th, WITTR will forage through Bellingham, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and San Diego before closing down with a final show in Los Angeles on July 20th. Support for WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM on the tour will be provided by Oakland psychedelic noise troupe, Nommo Ogo. Additional support will be provided throughout the tour by D A Terrence, A God Or Another, Druden, Volahn, Lycus and others, including direct support on the San Francisco show by Dispirit.

Minus Head Records Sign Bay Area Trio, BLACK MAP
BAND FEATURES MEMBERS OF DREDG, FAR AND THE TROPHY FIRE
Black Map, who the San Francisco Bay Guardian described as "epic, guitar-driven, smart-art-rock-meets-anthemic-metal," features guitar player Mark Engles (Dredg), singer/bass player Ben Flanagan (The Trophy Fire) and drummer Chris Robyn (Far/Crosses).
"We are really excited to be working with Black Map," said Brad Hardie, Minus Head Records' label owner. "These vets bring an aggressive edge to their new material."
Black Map is currently at Hellam Sound in Oakland, Calif. recording their full-length debut with producer Aaron Hellam. The album is slated for a fall release. Black Map self-released Driver, a four-song EP, earlier this year. "I'm Just The Driver," a song featured on both the EP and forthcoming full-length, is streaming via YouTube:

FOXY SHAZAM Announce Additional Tour Dates - U.S. Tour Kicks Off May 27th
The band's Latest LP “GONZO” Available streaming and FREE download at www.foxyshazam.com.
Be sure to check them out at Slim's August 1st
Cincinnati, OH rockers Foxy Shazam have announced a second leg to their previously announced summer tour in support of their new LP GONZO
Watch their new video (and new direction) "TRAGIC THRILL"
The new dates hit the the western half of the U.S. and Canada and run July 26-August 16. Offering support on the first leg (May 27 to June 28) is Larry and His Flask. See dates below.
Foxy Shazam stunned fans last month when they surprise released their latest album GONZO as a free download via www.foxyshazam.com.
Recorded with famed engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Fugazi, The Pixies, Iggy & The Stooges) over a dreary Halloween holiday in Chicago, IL, GONZO evokes a level of fierce impassioned authenticity previously unheard in Foxy's back catalogue. Recorded entirely live in one room, in running order, vocals and all, the album is a tremendous feat of will, talent, and artistic integrity in an age when delivering anything remotely challenging is oft considered taboo.

Win tickets to see Red Fang - presented by Scion AV
Scion Audio Visual presents RED FANG’s Spring tour, Situation: AWESOME!, the Portland band’s first Stateside outing in 2014 and Scion AV is giving away two pairs of free tickets to each tour stop! For more information, click HERE.
The one-month trek kicks off May 16 at Slim’s in San Francisco and includes a stop at Scion AV’s Rock Fest in Pomona on May 17, with Big Business and American Sharks providing support on all dates. As part of the Scion AV-sponsored tour, Red Fang will release a new single titled “The Meadows” in early May, with a limited edition 7-inch available along the tour. A video for the song will arrive during the Situation: AWESOME! tour.
Red Fang released Whales and Leeches in October, with the eleven-song album quickly becoming the band’s best-selling and most critically acclaimed release to date. Alternative Press described the album as “bigger, bolder, heavier, catchier and even more savagely fun,” Stereogum said the release “takes flight and soars,” while Magnet Magazine said Whales and Leeches “is a monumental success – a clear line from Red Fang’s earliest recordings to it latest.”
