the "tinyveins" moniker rings some hard bells for some reason, i must've been lurkin and mirin your tumblr or something in the past

cool hi thanks

Do you really have tiny veins?

Yep. Loved it. I picked up Windhand, Wolvserpent and the Subrosa CDs. The Wolvserpent album also slays. I think it's better than the Perigea demo.

Hey, long time. How did you find the new Subrosa album?

Greetings from Oregon. Random suggestion -- [artist]Aidan Baker[/artist]. You can find a plethora of his music at [url=http://bandcamp.com/search?q=Aidan+Baker]bandcamp[/url]. He also has a project called [artist]Nadja[/artist] (it looks like there are a couple [url=http://www.last.fm/user/tinyveins/library/music/Nadja]scobbles[/url] in your library)-- but anywho can also be had at [url=http://bandcamp.com/search?q=Nadja]bandcamp[/url]. Happy listening!

You went on quite a Drudkh binge. I think you might find this a little interesting - http://rateyourmusic.com/list/sacredserenity/female_fronted_doom_stoner_sludge_and_occult_rock

Oh, I see. "Autumn Aurora" is definitely great, but "Forgotten Legends" is the best of Drudkh, the best of Black Metal, and the best of music in general.

Lots of Drudkh scrobbles, but no "Forgotten Legends"?!

elite is so elite

Wow. That sounds awesome. Did they play a mix of old and new stuff? Also, have you heard this doom band called Warhorse? They play some of the heaviest music I've ever come across. Get their album "As Heaven Turns to Ash". Here's a song from the album - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqWV7Cctmbc

Hey, how was Neurosis?

Nice, those are 2 awesome gigs to look forward to. Especially Swans. How was the Vegas trip? I went to Delhi for new years and met up with some friends from college who I hadn't met for a long time so that was fun. If the Wolvserpent demo was of that quality, I can't wait to hear what the album will sound like.

uh huh

Hey, happy new year. How have you been? Listened to any good stuff recently?

uhhgg!! LIRR has been total shit lately... I sure hope ya didn't miss the prophet Higgs. He is a true soul to behold. Have a blast tonight @ High on Fire!

I discovered another 2 person doom/drone band similar to Wolvserpent and I had to share this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNZj5zNo-Gk

mmmm... probably for the best. I've got to head north that night for turkey day Eagle Twin was mind blowing! Hands down the most powerful two piece I have ever seen and they were two of the nicest guys from Salt Lake I've ever met. I saw them in Boston (they played Crow Hymn at my request) the following night and they plowed through some technical difficulties that would've stopped most bands in their tracks but they didn't even miss a beat. Earth had a great sound but I couldn't stand in a packed room watching them... so I stood at the bar. Cheers! great taste by the way

Yes!! They entered the studio yesterday to record the new album. I'm really eager to listen to it. Also, I don't know if I've told you before but have you checked out Aelter? It's the side project of Wolvserpent's guitarist and, in my opinion, is better than Wolvserpent. You can download it from their website.

Hey, are things completely back to normal? My internet at home has been down for the past 3 days so that was extremely annoying. Not that I'm comparing that to a hurricane blowing through where I live. The new Wolvserpent is amazing, isn't it?

whats with that OM show? I thought it was cancelled - guess not. I'll grab yer extra if ya still got it.

Glad to hear that it wasn't too bad for you. How long will it be until power gets restored fully?

Hi. I was wondering if the hurricane affected you at all but I see pretty recent plays. I'm sending you the Subrosa new song in a pm because the band doesn't exactly want it to be shared around too much before they actually release it.

Subrosa also played a song from their forthcoming album at the show which they also recorded. I'll send you a link to that once I get it.

Ooh, your friend must have gone to Fall Into Darkness. By the way, here's a video of them playing Beneath the Crown at that show - www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8Waa_Oq300

Also, this is a band which I think you will like - http://snailking.bandcamp.com/ You can download the album for free or pay the band however much you feel.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool. I'm glad you liked Windhand. You should definitely check out Elder now. Oh, by the way, you can listen to a new Windhand song here - http://www.rue-morgue.com/extras/hymns-from-the-house-of-horror Can't wait for their new album.

the all-seeing eye of the subscriber dismantles all social barriers. since I am guessing you live in nyc, you should go to that d-clone/hoax show on saturday and invoke my spirit for maximum rage

YO GIRL

Yeah, you should get that Windhand album soon. It was one of my better musical discoveries of last year for sure. Elder is one of the best stoner bands currently. They got picked to play at Roadburn this year which is a fairly big deal and I'm happy for them that they did because they really deserve the recognition. Get their album, Dead Roots Stirring. Their self-titled debut is pretty solid as well.

Excellent, have you listened to these bands - [artist]Elder[/artist], [artist]Windhand[/artist], [artist]Yob[/artist]

Does Acid Bath even perform live any more? Or did your friend just see Dax playing solo? This one is my favourite of Dax's live songs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NijfMgejDLU . Incidentally, do you like any stoner metal?

That's a pity. Melvins are pretty great live. They're doing some crazy tour currently, playing 51 dates consecutively, one in each state, if I'm not mistaken. Nice to see Dax Riggs on your charts. I really love his vocals. Have you listened to his old band Acid Bath?

Awesome. How were the other bands? I've had Haarp in my last.fm recommendations for a while now but I haven't gotten around to giving them a listen. The Melvins are playing in New York some time soon, i think. Do you listen to them?

Yes, i like Down but not a whole lot. I prefer Crowbar to them, mainly because of the vocals. How is the new Down album, though?

Hi, give this a listen - http://marecognitum.bandcamp.com/album/an-extraconscious-lucidity A very good one man atmospheric black metal band.

That's awesome. Did you use ear-plugs? Incidentally, how were Coffinworm?

Hi, did you end up going for The Power of the Riff? If so, how was it?

Unfortunately the rest of the album isn't as good as that song. Still, you should check out the song i linked.

Have you listened to [artist]Adrift For Days[/artist]? They're a good drone/doom band from Australia. This is one of the best songs i've listened to in some time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVJzIb2pIGg

Well, being in NY, i'm still sure that you get a chance to watch way more gigs than i get here in India. The second day of Power of the Riff has a pretty neat line-up with Sun O))), Winter and Coffinworm. Out of curiosity, what do you study at school?

Speaking of Wolvserpent and Subrosa, they're both playing this fest together - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fall-Into-Darkness-festival/141384714013 . I'd really like to go see it but obviously i can't.

Me too. I discovered Wolvserpent recently (in fact the Subrosa singer recommended them to me, ha) and i fell in love with the band.

Do you like that Subrosa album? I thought it was one of the best albums of 2011. I hadn't imagined that sludge would go so well with violins but they a really job of marrying the two.

Your charts are awesome.
