Song of the Day: Scale the Summit - Whales

     Today's band are among many cool bands that are at last report in the midst of writing new material. And while Scale the Summit is certainly in good company when it comes to bands aiming to release new records in 2013, if their last outing, 2011's The Collective is any indication this one should be something special. In fact, The Collective made such an impact with me that last time I feature a Scale the Summit song it was that album's first track, and today it'll be that album's second.

Song of the Day: Northlane - Quantum Flux

     I've seen the name of today's band crop up a couple of times online lately, touring with this band or being mentioned by that band, but I didn't check them out until this evening. Here is the result of my investigation.

Song of the Day: Mastodon - Crack the Skye

     A wee bit late  tonight/this morning, but nevermind. Again tonight I've got to do a little creative logicking to get where I want to be, but it'll be fine, you'll see. What the fuck am I talking about? Well, yesterday I wanted to do a Tesseract song, but for want of a new Tesseract song I got where I wanted to be via the roundabout way of Fellsilent, a band tangentially connected to Tesseract in a 6 degrees kind of way.

Song of the Day: Fellsilent - Erase/Begin

     Another day, another teaser for the new Tesseract album that I can't use as a Song of the Day. Soon, my pretties... Anyways, tonight instead of posting more old Tesseract, I'm taking a different tack. I've written about today's band before, but judging from the fact that they've only got a little over 330 likes on their Facebook page I think many of you might not be familiar with them. Sure, they're defunct, but from their ashes Acle Kahney soared pheonix-like on to Tesseract.

Song of the Day: Baroness - The Birthing

     If you follow any metal news at all, and certainly if you're a fan of the band, you probably already know that two of the dudes from Baroness have left the band. Bass player Matt Maggioni and, most lamentably, drummer Allen Blickle have amicably parted ways with the band, delivering Baroness another blow following last year's serious bus crash. Frontman John Baizley has said that the band will continue, but chances are it'll be a bit before we hear anything like new Baroness material.

Song of the Day: Anup Sastry - Limitless

     I've written about the purveyor of today's track before, but previously it's always been by way of his connection  to other musical projects. You see, up and coming drummer Anup Sastry is the skinsman for both Intervals and Skyharbor, two slick bands that are more than worth checking out. But Mr. Sastry has just released his first solo effort, which means more tasty grooves for the masses!

Song of the Day: Thrice - The Weight

     Super quick post today because it's past my bedtime and I've got a bit of a busy day tomorrow (and not just because Bioshock: Infinite comes out tomorrow...)

     Your song today is "The Weight" from Thrice's 2009 album Beggars, and it's for someone very special. You know who you are.
