Goodbye Shea.


There's always next year.

It All Comes Down To Tomorrow


This has absolutely nothing to do with music, but with the fate of The New York Metropolitans. Tomorrow is the last regular season game. They are tied for first in the NL Wildcard with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brew Crew is pitching C C Sebathia on three days rest, and Oliver Perez, who pitched awful in his last offering, will start for the Mets.

The Phillies won the NL East, which makes me cringe more than hearing Converge play music, but right now, I'm excited to hopefully compete against them in the Playoffs. Depending on what happens tomorrow, you will either see a triumphant blog post, or a dismal as all fuck blog post. Randy Moss cannot wait to see the outcome.

Now onto a more musical note: dredg.

LETS GO METS!

Envy Playlist


Japanese screamo band, Envy are in my top 10 of all time. They released my favorite EP since Hopesfall's No Wings To Speak Of last year called, Abyssal. This year they've released two splits. The first split was with Jesu, and the second is the highly talked about Thursday/Envy split which is amazing.

I realized that if I took all the songs from these three Envy releases, and puzzled together an appropriate track listing, this could have been another masterpiece full length. So I went ahead and did just that. Here's what my track listing is for this playlist. It's 60 minutes, 10 songs.

1. Isolation of a Light Source - Thursday split
2. All That's Left Has Gone To Sleep - Abyssal EP
3. Conclusion Of Existence - Jesu split
4. Pure Birth and Loneliness - Thursday split
5. Thousand Scars - Abyssal EP
6. A Winter Quest For Fantasy - Jesu split
7. An Umbrella Fallen into Fiction - Thursday split
8. Life Caught In The Rain - Jesu split
9. Fading Vision - Abyssal EP
10. A Road Of Winds The Water Builds - Abyssal EP

----

This flows pretty much perfectly. If you choose to use this order, enjoy. Hopefully the band releases another full length next year. It'll more than likely be in my top 5 of the year.

Upcoming Anticipated Release: Fear Before | Fear Before




















1. Treeman
2. I’m Fine Today
3. Fear Before Doesn’t Listen to People Who Don’t Like Them
4. Get Your Life Together
5. Jabberwocky
6. Everything’s Not Shitty
7. Tycho
8. Bad Days
9. Stay Weird
10. Review Our Lives

The band has went from 'Fear Before The March of Flames' to just 'Fear Before' and the new self-titled album hits stores on October 28th. The single, "Fear Before Doesn't Listen to People Who Don't Like Them" is on the internet and you should probably find it and listen to it. Another progression for the band and this time it seems they're getting more epic. Oh yeah, and there's a shitload of dredgery just in this song. Win? Yes.

First post: Thoughts on United Nations



















I'll keep my first submission quite simple. United Nations are a decent band. But if you REALLY think they are power violence, or grindcore, or sound anything like Orchid, or Bucket Full of Teeth, than you should probably yank Geoff Rickley, and Daryl Palumbo's cocks out of each of your ears and actually listen to the music.
