This will be the longest tour we've done, and the farthest east we've traveled as a band. Exciting times indeed, as we also have just completed a new record––entirely written, recorded and mixed by ourselves. Now we have something on tape a little more current for you to hear, rather than just our 3 year old album. We're manufacturing a short run of cds right now, which will be for sale at the shows, including our send off show this friday at the First Church of the Buzzard in west oakland:<br />

And then we rest for a sec. Just for a sec though-----<br />
Friday May 22nd we're gonna squeeze in behind the pool table at MERCHANTS in Croakland's produce district. Never done this before, thrilled! The details are still hazy, but so far it's us and Seattle's ONE GOD OR AN OTHER, as part of their short tour. Most likely EMBERS will be joining us, but that's yet to be confirmed.<br />
The following night, we play The Bottom Of The Hill with GIANT SQUID and BOTANIST. Pretty excited about this, as we've always wanted to play there. And who knows, the techies might have that place steamroll'd sooner than you could say Yoga-Industrial-Complex. Here's the flyer:<br />

That's the news for now. Come to one of these shows and cop the new rekkid. Not sure at this point how quickly we're going to have it on sale in cyberspace, so how bout you grab something physical in the meantime. Sheeit, we even had some special rubber stamps made for the cd jackets by our patnas at <a href="http://soulmindstudios.com/" target="_blank">soulmindstudios.com</a>-----------<br />

We're back from our 9 month show hiatus. Sh*t, time can pass in a hurry. Behind the scenes, we've been plenty busy, however. Album #2 is well in the works, and 3 new songs are just about in the bag. On the 19th we'll be performing these 3 live, along side our brothers from the north, STONEBURNER and BURIALS, as well as fellow Oaklanders AUGURS and the newly formed SLOWFAST. We're pretty excited about this show; it's always a good time with the dudes from the rose city, and also---our newest song is a f**kn' monster. I guess all that time hiding in the studio has yielded some results. So, see you at the First Church of the Buzzard on saturday---we'll most likely be the closer of the night.WILD HUNThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08837356034098240525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123023451480472085.post-10987582892847951232013-05-06T01:17:00.004-07:002013-05-06T01:29:42.137-07:00BACK HOME AGAIN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

And though we came at it a little more ready than previous, holy hell this was a challenging one. 1k in tire repair, amps blowing, half dead from sleep deprivation, cops and missing licenses, horses and electric fences, and general insanity at times within the band---it's hard to believe how much chaos ensued in such a short period. But ultimately, the whole thing was hilarious. And what other way is there to look at it? The challenges came and went, and everything in between was terrific. Throughout, we teamed up with some seriously fantastic and original bands, and met a lot of cool folks. Big thanks to all that made this a reality-----Eric and Ninth Moon Black(thanks Atom and Kasey for babysitting us), Matt and Reigns, Wendy and Uzi, Garrison, Dj Tenex, Les Schwab, Allen "yea brow" Verelly, Ben and Burials, Druden, Chris and Ash St., Pete Jay and BlackQueen, Joy and the awe-inspiring Eye of Nix, Golgothan Sunrise, Blood of Kings, Geeg McSeegins, The Habers, and BJ Dick. Salud! </span></span></span></div>

Here's the short, yet most exciting itinerary:<br />
<br />

This place just recently won in court against--or at least delayed--their eviction, called for by the reptilian real estate scumcult Rockridge Properties, LLC. So this will be the first show since this victory. Or at least we're hoping it's a victory, because this is a great little venue that would be sorely missed if the unthinkable should happen. The bands we're sharing the floor with are exceptional as well; Ninth Moon Black from Eugene, Aequorea from Grass Valley(our buddy Clay on drums), and Firewitch from Humboldt.<br />

Finishing our first LP, slugging out our first tour, and all the trials and victories in between-- it's taught us a lot, and has bred some serious inspiration for the new year. It's also great to see that our work has rubbed off on others, as BtPoA has ended up on a nice little handful of top 2012 metal lists like <a href="http://meatmeadmetal.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/best-of-2012-20-16/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">this one</span></a>, and <a href="http://social.entertainment.msn.com/music/blogs/headbang-blogpost.aspx?post=a7a6961c-cdcb-40be-a110-0e9d0b242b45#scptmfs" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">this one</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.metalsucks.net/2012/12/04/satan-rosenblooms-top-fifteen-metal-albums-of-2012a/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">this one</span></a>, among others.

An inspiring, grueling, and transformative experience. Being back home seems strangely foreign. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm out of scratch, I'd be turning the ignition to the Elsewhere bus right this minute. That's okay, all the more incentive to gear up--more efficiently--for the next adventure. Until then, here's some visual evidence:<br />

Funny to think that after all these years, the Hunt hasn't yet stepped on a stage beyond the Yay area. But in a week we will, finally. We're excited to be playing Nanotear's Fall into Darkness fest friday, Oct 5th in Portland, with Worm Ouroboros, Subrosa, and Aranya(a free show, too!). There will be 3 other NW appearances as well, flyers for each below:<br />

We're back at Eli's with the most excellent EXHAUSTED PRAYER from LA. The flyer below still reads TBA, but now the other confirmed bands are our bros CATACOMB CREEPS (Santa Cruz) and OLD CROW.

We are working on a repressing of the record now, but it was important to the band and us that you know what song you are listening to. Apologies again for this screw up.</span></span></div>

A ghoulish nightmare from which you don't necessary wish to wake. It's black magic behind fluttering eyelids.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">Along with more traditional metal riffs, there are drawn-out, heavy breakdowns that lend easily to slow, deliberate head banging, blended with modern hypnotic ambiance that gives it that dream-like quality. It doesn't hurt that drummer-vocalist Harland Burkhart sounds like he's growling underwater. I've seen Enslaved noted as a point of reference here, and agree with that assessment.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">So now you need to hear it, right? Well, you've chased it down and speared it. The quartet's debut album, <em>Before the Plane of Angles</em>, which was mixed by Laudanum's Salvador Raya and mastered by Justin Weis (Hammers of Misfortune, Ludicra), is out now on Kemado. And the album release show is this weekend at El Rio. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">I caught up with the Wild Hunt in that unsettling space between wake and sleep. Here's what Burkhart had to say:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><strong>Band name origin:</strong> "Wild Hunt" refers to the ancient European myth of a phantasmal cavalcade of dead folks seen madly flying through the sky, usually around Yuletide. There are a variety of different versions of the legend; some believe the Norse god Odin leads the pack, others believe King Arthur, others believe Ronald McDonald.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><strong>Description of sound in 10 words or less:</strong> Heavy, melodic, dreamlike. At times jarring, at times tranquil.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><strong>Instrumentation:</strong> Two guitarists, one bassist, one drummer/vocalist.</span></div>

The compositions, especially the two 16-minute tracks that bookend the album, “Eidetic Parallax” and “Plane of Angles”, meander, yet it’s never the kind of labyrinthine arrangement that has you wishing you had a riff map to follow along. Instead, the songs flow so gracefully that it’s simply easy to take in, suite-like songs shifting from movement to movement so seemingly naturally that the shifts from style to style hardly feel like a surprise. Granted, the album isn’t without its more immediate moments as well, and two of the middle three tracks on the album showcase </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wild Hunt</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> at their most accessible.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><a href="http://www.kemado.com/?artist=wild-hunt">Wild Hunt</a> is a mystical, blackened metal band from Oakland. If you're a fan of groups like <a href="http://www.noisecreep.com/tag/Ludicra/">Ludicra</a>, <a href="http://www.noisecreep.com/tag/HammersofMisfortune/">Hammers of Misfortune</a> and Weakling, you might already be familiar with them, since they run in some of the same circles. Wild Hunt's vocals are handed by drummer Harland Burkhart who possesses a creepy, almost drugged-like singing voice.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">The quartet is gearing up for the release of <i>Before the Plane of Angles</i>, their debut album. Wild Hunt recently debuted one of the album's tracks, "Window to the Nether," at <a href="http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2012/04/io-exclusive-track-stream-wild-hunts-window-to-the-nether/">this link</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">When his publicist told us that Burkhart was a huge fan of cultish metal, Noisecreep asked if we could get him to send us a list of five groups that he's been listening to lately. Check out his picks and be ready to be turned onto some crazy stuff!</span></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">"Maybe not that obscure anymore, but this pick is still definitely an oddball one. This is an example of the weirdness that sprung out of the Norwegian black metal scene in the mid-'90s when, for some, wearing corpsepaint and screaming about Satan was starting to run its course. This is heavy music straight from the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."</span></i><br />

Pen Rollings (ex-Breadwinner, the first band to be labeled "math rock") used to be in this group, and 2 of the 3 current members are from the technical doom band Confessor. So, you could probably guess what you're gonna get here---total head-scratching polyrhythmic odd-meter madness. The crazy thing is that it's actually enjoyable to listen to!

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I walk my dog every day, and while fighting to control a feisty, 8-month-old pup made out of muscle can be so much fun (right down to the forearm bruises), it can be a little mundane once she calms down and starts walking like a normal animal. See, we take the same route every day because the options are limited in our neighborhood and because there’s enough hill to get in a good workout. For both of us. But seeing the same stuff and doing the same thing every day can be monotonous, so I choose wisely my musical selections for our journeys.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Grindcore or punk doesn’t work because it’s too fast and doesn’t last long enough. Something post-metal doesn’t really do the trick because it just makes me gaze into the distance, and a walk is not a good setting for that. Black metal just puts a scowl on my face, and I don’t need people thinking I’m some sort of criminal (the weird metal shirts and half-arm of tattoos already get me cautious looks). Instead, I need something with a little variety, an album that’ll keep my head in the game and let my brain work along with my (aching) muscles.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That’s where <strong>Wild Hunt</strong> enter the fray. They do all kinds of things I like a lot — prog rock! trad metal! doom! black metal! –<a href="http://meatmeadmetal.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/kem138-cover-500.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.148438); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.148438); border-right-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.148438); border-top-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.148438); color: #dddddd; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="alignright wp-image-2078" height="240" src="http://meatmeadmetal.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/kem138-cover-500.jpg?w=240&h=240" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; float: right; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" title="KEM138 - Cover (500)" width="240" /></a> and they mix it all together really nicely in a way where you’re less aware of the twists and turns and more conscious of how well all the elements work together to achieve a greater whole. Their music on their debut full-length “Before the Plane of Angles” (Kemado) is exciting and varied, complex and digestible, and it has kept the juices flowing on those walks because I’m thinking far less about how I take the same trip every day and more about how this record keeps revealing itself to me in a different manner every time I listen. It’s such a great record, and it’s so hard to believe that a band this good, this flexible are just now issuing their debut. I can only imagine how the next platter’s going to sound. I have a hard enough time properly summarizing this one.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wild Hunt, who formed in 2004, call Oakland, Calif., home, so yeah, we’re talking another Bay Area barnstormer. But these guys are one of the most ambitious, exciting bands to come out of that area in a long time, which is saying something considering the amount of talent in that region. This band — vocalist/drummer Harland Burkhart, guitarists Greg Brace and Drew Cook, bassist West Lenz — play around with epic-length songs, which works to their advantage since they’re adept at playing so many styles of metal and, as noted, blending them together. Oh, a quick note of interest is that Burkhart, Brace, and Cook also play in the <strong>Dimesland </strong>(Vendlus), another group that isn’t your run-of-the-mill metal band. I know all these details just tossed out there about Wild Hunt might make you think “Before the Plane of Angles” could be something that’ll take you a while to digest, but it really isn’t. At least for me, the appeal of the record and their sound was instantaneous, and the more I heard the album, the more excited I got about it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
The record is book-ended by a pair of 16-minute songs, both of them equally expansive and awesome. “Eidetic Parallax” opens the album and goes from spacious prog rock, to black metal panic and shrieks from Burkhart, space-bound melodies, trance-inducing flushes of atmosphere, and adventurous riffing before the whole thing fades away. “Plane of Angles” is the closer, and it’s built in much the same way, with all of the things they do well revisited — but not repeated — but it also gets a bit of acoustic wonder, some power metal-fireworks, the band harmonizing vocally underneath the firestorm, and eventually a tricky, dream-like loop that carries the album off into oblivion. These two cuts are worth the price of admission alone, but they’re only part of the story.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In between those epic pillars are three more songs that serve to prove the band’s incredible dexterity. “Panorama” is one of the heaviest tracks on the album, with more black doom magic, some classic metal guitar work, throaty singing and growling, and a long, cosmic ambient passage that stretches over the song’s last three minutes. “Window to the Nether” is pushy and catchy, showing they have a knack for writing something a little more accessible, and the cleanly delivered vocals remind a bit of </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Baroness</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">. “Unravel the Veil” is the shortest cut here, a wooshing, hazy instrumental built on Moog fog and light instrumentation, letting you get a breather before the monstrous finale.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wild Hunt’s debut long-player is one of the more exciting initial offerings to come my way this year, and I’m still having a lot of fun working with it. The band combines all the things I like best about metal and in a way that suggests they feel the same way about these things. They’re not here riding on some trend or cashing in on a sound. They seem to be putting all of their influences together in a fluid, thunderous way, and “Before the Plane of Angles” certainly keeps things interesting every time out. That’ll make walking a lot more enjoyable for the foreseeable future.</span></div>

Also, we've just confirmed another show with Christy Cather's band LADY OF THE LAKE and Stevie Floyd's TAURUS, April 22nd at the Elbo Room (647 Valencia st., SF). The weird part is that this is going to be an early show, starting at 4pm or so. Hopefully we'll be able to wake up early enough to make load-in on time. Flyer coming soon.</div>WILD HUNThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08837356034098240525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123023451480472085.post-61138924816310092822012-03-25T01:56:00.001-07:002012-03-25T15:30:01.528-07:00TWO SHOWS YOU SHOULD PREPARE FOR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Two Alcoholocaust presentations NOT to be slept upon: No flyers yet for either, but hey, ain't nothing wrong with a premature warning. Our record release show is indeed happening May 19th at El Rio (3158 Mission St. SF) with Seattle's BLACK QUEEN (though originally from SF) and the great GIANT SQUID, who will be headlining. Then, June 23rd we will be joining up with GRAYCEON and HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE at the Elbo Room (647 Valencia St. SF). Fantastisch! Basically, if you don't attend at least one of these shows, you'll end up looking like this poor LA trick pictured above.WILD HUNThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08837356034098240525noreply@blogger.com0
