After that Meshuggah video, I really needed something 'meat n potatoes' or 'bread and butter' or 'just a straight up fucking rock song with a straight up no-bullshit video.' Or whatever.
I'm gonna really go out on a limb here... and assume that crustcake readers are familiar with Quicksand, but just in case here are the vitals:
- ex-Gorilla Biscuits guitarist Walter Schreifels - New York City - post-hardcore - fucking awesome - sadly broken up since 1998
Well, it's here... The music video that was soooo important that it was preceded by a trailer. The video for Meshuggah's "Bleed."
From our point of view, it's pretty simple: "Bleed" fucking rips and Meshuggah, well they're Meshuggah, but we have no idea what the hell is going on in this video. Though we're pretty sure that whatever it is, it's deep, man.
Meshuggah - "Bleed":

I like what Cult of Luna has been doing on recent albums; I mean it's obvious they are developing their sound. But a part of me misses the raw dirtiness of the first two records, my favorite being The Beyond. That entire record just sounds mean and nasty compared to both releases since.
Cult of Luna - "The Watchtower":
Bring back that dirty bass tone!
The band has posted the title track from their forthcoming album, Eternal Kingdom, on their MySpace page. Sounds like if I want the rawness and dirtiness of their earlier stuff I'll just have to listen to, you know, their earlier stuff...

Send it to crustcake@gmail.com. This week, we're introducing the latest addition to team crustcake, theseseans. Theseseans has already been writing up a storm, and in the future you can expect from him some seven-inch reviews, clever commentary, and general all-around shenanigans.

When Genghis Tron's recent release Board Up The House came out on Relapse, collective drooling ensued from the metal community. We actually haven't stopped drooling, as the album just gets better with each listen. For this week's Crusty Clip I decided to bring everyone's attention back to another artist who managed to mix heavy music with electronica and not have it... you know... suck.

Pelican's City of Echoes never gained much traction around here, and, to be honest, we had nearly forgotten about it completely. So it was a pleasant surprise when we fired up our Google Reader this morning to see that Headbangers Blog had posted a new video for the song "Dead Between the Walls." Maybe it's high time to revisit City of Echoes...
Pelican - "Dead Between the Walls":
Or maybe we'll just stick with Australasia and The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw. And the epic EP version of "March Into the Sea."
