Yawningman, We Are The Asteroid, Desert Altar, Zgomot @ Strange Matter

Yawningman has returned to RVA, and it’s an event for all who love psychedelia, stoner desert metal, and generally weird outsider shit. For years, all I could tell you about Yawningman was that on their last album, Kyuss had covered a song from their demo. The song...

Necroscythe, Hoboknife, Voarm @ Strange Matter

ZAO, Sunndrug, Ostraca, Venomspitter @ Strange Matter

Who knew ZAO would still be around in 2017? Especially considering that the last original member left the band over a decade ago. And who ever would have guessed that they would still be an excellent example of late 90s metalcore, somehow surviving at least a decade...

JTM: Long Arms Album Release Party! w/ Ladygod & Justin Jones!

This is the second local release party Jet Trails Music has brought to us this week (they were also behind the Sammi Lanzetta one, I should probably have mentioned that at the time but I write these really fast), and it’s just as big a hit as the first one. The new...
