Rising Sun & Dave Kiss Presents: Harakiri For The Sky ~ Ghost Bath ~ Unreqvited (Cambridge Hall)
Harakiri For The SkyMӕre – a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people’s chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It’s exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY’s music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band’s 5th longplayer “Mӕre”, out via AOP Records.As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release “Arson”. And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on “Mӕre”: While Alcest’s front man Neige brings a haunting flair to ‘Sing For The Damage We’ve Done’, before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on ‘Silver Needle // Golden Dawn’. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.https://harakirifortheskyofficial.bandcamp.com/releases Ghost BathGhost Bath refers to the act of committing suicide by submerging in a body of water. Ghost Bath writes and creates under the assumption that music is an extension of one’s own soul. They journey through the sorrow and sadness that all lives experience while leaving a glimmer of hope. They portray both deep anguish and angelic soundscapes that meld depression and joy in perfect harmony. The band started in October of 2013 with the release of their self-titled EP on Solitude Productions (China). This was followed by their debut LP titled, “Funeral,” which was released on Pest Productions (China) in June of 2014. The band’s highly acclaimed “Moonlover” was released on Northern Silence Productions(Germany) in 2015. In 2016, the band was signed by Nuclear Blast Records. Their latest album, Self Loather, will be available worldwide on October 29th through Nuclear Blast and Northern Silence.https://ghostbath.bandcamp.com/UnreqvitedAs a result of journeying into his mind and collecting a wide range of emotions, 鬼 has included many lighter and more uplifting passages than previously on “Beautiful Ghosts”, although dark twists are balancing the score. New elements include a significant use of clean vocals throughout the album and there are even playfully progressive rhythms as in the opening track ‘All Is Lost’. The core elements that have shaped UNREQVITED in the past remain active as well. The massive anthemic refrains from “Mosaic I: L’amour Et L’ardeur” (2018) are equally present as the simple melancholic melodies from the 2016 debut album “Disquiet” and the orchestral grandeur of “Empathica” (2020). https://unreqvited.bandcamp.com/LÁSTIMAhttps://lastimamusic.bandcamp.com/

Duma ~ Masma Dream World ~ Death Qualia
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMDumaMartin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi’s flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed Duma (Darkness in Kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project.Recorded at Nyege Nyege Studios in Kampala over three months in mid 2019 their self-titled debut album fuses the frenetic euphoria, unrelenting physicality and rebellious attitude of hardcore punk and trash metal with bone-crunching breakcore and raw, nihilist industrial noise through a claustrophobic vortex of visceral screams.The savant mix of brutally adrenalized drums, caustic industrial trap, shredding grindcore inspired guitars and abrupt speed changes create a darkly atmospheric menace and is lethal on tracks like the opener “Angels and Abysses” , “Omni” or “Uganda with Sam”.The gruelling slow techno dirges and monolithic vocals on “Pembe 666” or “Sin Nature” add a pinch of dramatic inevitability bringing a new sense of theatricality and terrifying fate awaiting into the record’s progression.A sinister sonic aggression of feral intensity with disregard for styles, Duma promises to impact the burgeoning African metal scene moving it into totally new, boundary-challenging experimental territories.https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/dumaMasma Dream WorldDevi Mambouka’s evolution is rooted in her past informing her present and future. Born to a Gabonese ambassador and a Singaporean mother makes her a child of the world, and one who learned to tap into her inner magic to overcome trauma, abuse, and addiction. Play at Night, her debut album under the moniker Masma Dream World, is the resume of such learnings and experiences. Abruptly moving from Africa to the Bronx at 12 years old yielded intense challenges, but singing was a refuge and music was an escape. Influenced by the likes of Amel Larrieux, Toni Braxton, and Zap Mama, Play At Night challenges your preconceived relationship with darkness, guiding you to step into it. The album encompasses elements of butoh (a Japanese spirit-led performance art), the theta frequency, and the need to hold sacred space. This space is a prime opportunity to awaken one’s power source from within.https://masmadreamworld.bandcamp.com/album/play-at-nightDeath Qualiahttps://ohmresistance.bandcamp.com/album/fanged-contradiction
Captured! by Robots ~ Fuck Tomb
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMCaptured! by robots2 kick ass robots, 1 stupid human. Brutal pummeling music. End of story.But you wanna read more stupid crap? Ok, idiot human.CAPTURED! BY ROBOTS has been touring the world since 1997, playing thousands of dive bars for millions of drunken humans. C!BR has now returned with a newly found united aggression towards humanity (that) has been channeled into fast n loud music, designed to deafen and destroy, to pound and pummel, breaking your bones with brutal tones.GTRBOT666 latest transmission on the upcoming tour:”YOU MISERABLE HUMANS HAVE GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE NOW! HAHAHA! BRING ON THE SUFFERING! WE WILL USE YOUR TEARS TO LUBRICATE THE MACHINES OF YOUR DESTRUCTION! HAHAHA. YOUR CHARRED BODIES WILL WARM OUR COLD ROBOTIC HEARTS.”In 1996, Jay Vance made the robots because he was extremely unlikeable, and wanted to play in a band after all his past human bands hated him. He got to work. Shortly after, GTRBOT666 and DRMBOT 0110 were born. After a horrible accident involving many drugs and a chemical spill, the Bots became self-aware and captured the human, now renamed JBOT. It was decided that they would travel the country, rocking out while bent on world domination and humiliating the chained idiotic human in front of his human peers.The Bots and JBOT’s relationship has changed. Now they are much more united in hating humanity. Stockholm syndrome? Maybe… Or maybe you all just suck really really bad.https://capturedbyrobots.bandcamp.com/Fuck TombFeral, gross, psychotic death-grinding punk from a collective of weirdos that have seen beyond the mortal coil and worship the invincible dead. ₣ ₣ ₣Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuuucktomb/Bandcamp: https://fuuucktomb.bandcamp.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RqzT3I

Basically, without Raven you just would not have thrash/speed metal…. after all, the band did give Metallica & Anthrax their first tours!In a cynical musical landscape these days, where bands are not “gangs “but faceless corporations, RAVEN are a band that are REAL not FAKE – and proud of it!http://www.ravenlunatics.comRiot Acthttp://www.riotactband.comKeith Cruelty“A metal assault on the ears” STAND BACK as DJ Keith Cruelty unleashes an Iron Fist Full of Metal Up Your Ass!
