Just curious, any industry-connected folks hereabouts have any educated guesses on how much Napalm Death/Earache will net from "Silicon Valley"?
the mechanicals they'll get from the multiple plays won't be a WHOLE lot but they'll be something. most of the money is in whatever they negotiated from the show's music supervisors when the placement was agreed upon. if it were a normal-length song, it'd probably be high four/low five figures, not sure if the brevity would mitigate that or make them say "you're using the whole song, we get a better rate!" The attorney who wrote up the contract then gets a percentage, management gets a percentage, and the label gets a "side" -- i.e., whatever the offer is, it's double, the label generally gets whatever the band gets. TV placement money was big in the early aughts and then calmed down.
My guess for Napalm Death on this show would be 5-6k if they have a good manager and 2k if they don't but that's just a guess

love this Deafheaven track. Spot on with the Dino Jr/Mascis shredding. Love the video too, looks like they have very nice lives.
― gman59, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 18:48 (six years ago) link
Whoa. Mascis style shredding is pretty much the only twist that could have had me interested again.

I think that's honestly one of the biggest draws about this band for me. They cherry pick from great influences all the time. Every now and then they throw in a guitar part or another rock adjacent musical style that seemingly comes out of nowhere but ends up sounding great.

played this derisively at tt without saying what it was. she said dinosaur jr immediately. obviously i hate deafheaven
― imago, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 19:45 (six years ago) link
I liked New Bermuda way better than the salmon pants album, but I felt like there wasn't much more development they could pull off to keep me interested - hence why I'm good with the Dino Jr development.

I’m guessing one of em will be wearing a Morbid Angel shirt. I count at least 2 in this
― gman59, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 22:08 (six years ago) link
Thanks for the insight.I think my expectations were set in the aughts, so I'd expected quite a bit more. (I remember e.g., when a friend of mine had a song in syndication for a WB show coz her song had the same title as the one used in the original broadcast, but was way cheaper to license.)

I will check out Rate Your Music charts to listen to new things.This one is currently the #20 album of the year:
IONA Path Unknown(Self-Released)1/28/2018Format: Cassette/Digi
http://www.nocleansinging.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Ion-A-Path-Unknown-e1517241946791.jpg
http://iontheband.bandcamp.com/album/a-path-unknownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzzxs4AcO3w
I guess it's not too shocking that the band is from San Francisco as they employ a nice ratio of dissonant blackgaze and psychedelic black metal, using incredibly long songs to get the point across (the album runs nearly 70 minutes). What is shocking is that the band is evidently unsigned. Unless they're really into the whole DIY thing, that makes zero sense.

The new Skeletal Remains is really strong but since I’m simultaneously discovering the old-school DM classics, it’s lacking the nostalgia factor that might sway more seasoned listeners. Cuts both ways, though.

Yes the ION record is great! Glad someone else here likes it

Wow, the new Deafheaven song is totally brightening my day.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:17 (six years ago) link
I've never heard a whole Deafheaven song. Might as well start with one that's 11 minutes long, I guess.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
I admit I missed out on the Ion album cause I had it confused with the new Portal record.

So the Morbid Angel show at Starland Ballroom was cancelled. They say "scheduling conflict" but that doesn't make sense for a tour that has been booked for months. Was it just lousy ticket sales or does anyone have an idea what might have happened?

I feel like they've maybe had this in the can for awhile now and have just been waiting for a Friday 4/20.

It's been six years since the last one so that checks out.

I had no idea this was coming. Is the closing track a homage to yer man with the dulcimer?

Sleep album is great, but I hope it'll be available in formats beyond vinyl at some point.

It's on Spotify, so I'm sure there'll be a CD soon.

you can buy the CD from the Third Man website.

I like the Sleep album, interesting that they didn't go back to the Holy Mountain style. had to stop on the last track which seemed like it was gonna be my favorite. bought a digital copy.
shotgunning beers and getting ready to see Deceased (yes, the Fowley Deceased). living near Tampa has its benefits.

no download code insert with the new Earthless vinyl, is that others' experience?

Odysseus, if you're around you were a fan of Ludicra I think?
Christy Cather and Laurie Shanaman are in a new band:https://theflenser.bandcamp.com/album/the-unraveling
Sounds quite a lot like Ludicra, funnily enough, but that's a good thing.

Love Ails. Seen them a few times (including an awesome Easter show at Bottom of the Hill with other local metal legends Dispirit).

Was just coming here to post that. They're basically an entirely different band. (Still crap, but a different flavor of crap.)

The earlier records are good fun, this seems pretty generic and bloated by comparison.

Kim Kelly has a great piece in the New York Times this weekend about the Queens underground metal scene, focusing on the Latin fans and musicians.
― grawlix (unperson), Saturday, 28 April 2018 15:15 (six years ago) link
speaking of Kim Kelly, she wrote some words accompanying the stream of the new one from Grave Lines, kind of a gothy folky doom outfit (good vox!)

From a promo email I received today (and deleted before I even finished reading the first sentence, because I automatically delete black metal promos at this point):
Hailing from the black metal hotbed of Finland, Curse Upon a Prayer was founded in Tornio in 2010 and have since released two albums - From The Lands of Demise in 2014, and Rotten Tongues in 2015. The band has gained some recognition for their strong, anti-Islamic themes, which are fiercely manifested in their live shows. During those well-received events, there has been multiple Quran desecrations, and the ruthless flame of Curse Upon a Prayer continues to grow without any hesitation.

I don't know how it stacks up to their previous stuff, and I'm not exactly big on black thrash but it sounds pretty good to me. Though it helps that I'm hearing it as a sped up, more aggressive Virus AKA good Voivod worship.
