After finally breaking my drone barrier many months ago (thanks to Hasan of the Into the Void blog) I have been listening to a lot of music that fits under the blanket genre known as drone. Growing is an example of one of these bands that has really stuck for me. Growing has toured with my favorite band of the genre, Boris, which was a huge incentive for me to check them out.<br /><br />The music can be described as having the drone/ambient foreground with an extremely rhythmic background that almost sounds danceable. I believe this rhythmic background is the element that draws me most to Growing. I hope you all enjoy this album as much I do. PLEASE buy it if you like it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVkcZLxz9LeD3H2xBB-D1Z2wVAUJkhCUeFrMUfKA4kI1YMlRG0SzsjqMP6jNWtouXRs1CUIIxLEttJeW0yA0Wbk8-BuST7wxedcYdh168l6z9cz5SLP2zs79O3iBiyV7shv5svYq5OCQ/s1600-h/82180.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVkcZLxz9LeD3H2xBB-D1Z2wVAUJkhCUeFrMUfKA4kI1YMlRG0SzsjqMP6jNWtouXRs1CUIIxLEttJeW0yA0Wbk8-BuST7wxedcYdh168l6z9cz5SLP2zs79O3iBiyV7shv5svYq5OCQ/s400/82180.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442032814549317858" /></a><br /><br />Track List:<br /><br />1 A Painting 17:22<br />2 Life in D / Tepsije 14:46<br />3 Cutting, Opening, Swimming 6:37<br />4 Southern Wrights 5:08<br />5 Pavement Rich in Gold 17:22<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ztwefxmxmxt">Download</a>MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-9902226792003381982010-02-24T19:22:00.000-08:002010-02-24T19:36:55.089-08:00Spring 2010 - Episode One - The Blizzard Mix<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjv9mBys0TIO3fB1UbQfLQzOF_gwIqwF64Jfiap5nfB1SoyGBbqZmd4x_gnLinMMthU16Qn_snWVmOFUpNOu6qsy1uz5MfdhBLoP1LY3pK3Qip7BKr2hOoCoHB1Hdu8WprNYHPv1U3g78/s1600-h/20964_322150564883_756534883_4674542_5896163_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjv9mBys0TIO3fB1UbQfLQzOF_gwIqwF64Jfiap5nfB1SoyGBbqZmd4x_gnLinMMthU16Qn_snWVmOFUpNOu6qsy1uz5MfdhBLoP1LY3pK3Qip7BKr2hOoCoHB1Hdu8WprNYHPv1U3g78/s400/20964_322150564883_756534883_4674542_5896163_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442017096785176114" /></a><br /><br />This was the stuff I was listening to during the snow storm.

Also hopefully I'll be able to start posting some more new music on this shindig soon too.MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-65360027109712217022009-06-23T18:26:00.000-07:002009-06-26T16:14:05.717-07:00Interviews In A Black HoleMy show starts up again tomorrow at 6pm EDT with an interview with local metalcore band And It Must Occur...<br /><br />Be sure to tune in by going to http://wmbc.umbc.edu and choosing the method of stream that matches your media player.<br /><br />http://falsemetalftw.blogspot.com<br />http://www.myspace.com/anditmustoccur<br /><br />The interview can be downloaded at <a href="http://itolduiwashardcore.podomatic.com/">http://itolduiwashardcore.podomatic.com/</a>MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-87323319485223815102009-06-06T10:55:00.000-07:002009-06-06T11:02:46.732-07:00Dessa - False Hopes (2005)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEcGOhi1c4fIfj2JN27ed_67nY8OeXixJCxG-uXeRRteEK9DO67FDMOLoRoMmsOMmUf-cZ2dO6xFHbYWMYdfr5KwQoWNTPOOesMsdLXMktEiI-lXJ4bUR9LQx9ZCGyHEp62osqg7vZo8/s1600-h/770606.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEcGOhi1c4fIfj2JN27ed_67nY8OeXixJCxG-uXeRRteEK9DO67FDMOLoRoMmsOMmUf-cZ2dO6xFHbYWMYdfr5KwQoWNTPOOesMsdLXMktEiI-lXJ4bUR9LQx9ZCGyHEp62osqg7vZo8/s400/770606.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344275735892881634" /></a><br /><br />The female mc from Doomtree's solo EP under the same name as Doomtree's collaborative effort. <br /><br />Is Dessa the best female to ever rap?

Doomtree is a 9 member hip-hop collective filled with members from all sorts of musical backgrounds and influences. They come together to create a sound that is vastly different from anything that has ever been done in hip hop or music in general. I don't want to make comparisons about what Doomtree is doing now to what Wu-Tang did in the 90s because The Clan will probably never be matched but the parallels are obvious.<br /><br />So this week I'll be updating my blog every day with a different Doomtree related release. Starting this week with the album <span style="font-style:italic;">False Hopes</span> which is a collaboration release from all of Doomtrees members.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBwbK7-zh2kBSLfKkegG7XqD87iuPz2RSsYJ1bCZh8Jxcsu8QVsF4EFuQkoRL0xbUXir0R89ihqdjjoktQk0YU0vr3WfgNf688HrMeCs0PB3qlbgdr_Tyqq1tOdEbQBli98SE2_OXxuE/s1600-h/1231197.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 273px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBwbK7-zh2kBSLfKkegG7XqD87iuPz2RSsYJ1bCZh8Jxcsu8QVsF4EFuQkoRL0xbUXir0R89ihqdjjoktQk0YU0vr3WfgNf688HrMeCs0PB3qlbgdr_Tyqq1tOdEbQBli98SE2_OXxuE/s400/1231197.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342829525373264242" /></a><br /><br />1 Flex 3:01<br />2 Knives On Fire 2:59<br />3 Traveling Dunk Tank 3:20<br />4 A Candle in Chicago (Interlude) 1:53<br />5 Lucky 1:30<br />6 Veteran 2:43<br />7 Slow Burn 3:56<br />8 I Should Cut Your Liver Out (Interlude) 1:15<br />9 Savion Glover 2:22<br />10 Hot Monotony 3:45<br />11 A Hundred Fathers 3:50<br />12 Check Your Tuning (Interlude) 1:31<br />13 If & When 4:18<br />14 No Homeowners (Renter’s Rebate) 3:18<br /><br />Highlights for me include Flex, Knives On Fire, A Hundred Fathers, and If & When.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?l0yq2moyo3m">Doomtree - False Hopes (2007)</a>MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-13174476957732558902009-05-04T21:18:00.001-07:002009-05-04T21:26:37.117-07:00Sorry For The Lack Of Update...AgainI Told U I Was Hardcore is back on WMBC. Now from 7-8pm EDT. From 6-7 is still my new show Lost In A Black Hole. <a href="http://itolduiwashardcore.podomatic.com">I Told U I Was Hardcore</a> for the I Told U Podcast.<br /><br />Otherwise I have been busy as hell with school this semester - I thought for some reason it would be a good idea to take all of my hardest classes in one semester.<br /><br />School is ending soon though and this thing will no longer be neglected. I've been listening to a ton of new music and watching a bunch of new movies so expect a shitstorm of posts starting sometime later this month. Probably around Maryland Deathfest time.<br /><br />As for some updates. Last weekend I went to Fletchers to see Fear Before and opening for them was this totally awesome local metalcore band with synth (you all know how much I love synth in metal/hardcore). I'm sure you all will dig it so check it out, heres the myspays: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/anditmustoccur">And it Must Occur</a>MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-73902002755719500932009-03-19T23:38:00.000-07:002009-03-19T23:56:52.141-07:00First Recording of this Season<a href="http://hoodieninja.podomatic.com/">http://hoodieninja.podomatic.com/</a><br /><br />The first recorded episode of season 2 of Lost In A Black Hole.

They were composed of One Be Lo and Senim Silla who have both released solo work since Binary Star that is also highly regarded in the underground hip hop community. Although the duo was involved in the criminal lifestyle of the ghetto they never glorified criminal activity in any of their music. In fact Binary Stars lyrics did what most hip hop doesn't and talked about the negatives involved with the lifestyle glorified in many rap lyrics. They saw hip hop as a new and legal way to escape their destructive lifestyles. Their lyrics were conscious, political, and spoke on the truth of what horrors really existed in this world of fast money, fast cars, women, and bling. This message in their lyrics became even more evident when the 2 split. In One Be Lo's 2005 release S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. he has a song called "The Ghetto" in which he says:<br /><br /> You callin 9-1-1, this ain't a joke<br /> You rollin like a blunt cause you might get smoked<br /> The sad part about it ain't the money or the dope<br /> The trigger man wasn't even old enough to vote<br /><br />So anyway here it is for all you hip hop heads, a little piece of recent underground hip hop history, the 2nd studio release from Binary Star known as <span style="font-style:italic;">Masters of the Universe</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvrujUAQu84zkBxVKs-TdhpMfJ9VqMyfGdHaLc4DIyS48O5byrG0vLp7dXjPYpvAuf7VvtHJ9g70IlQQNtrjBPWV_YkKu2XkfWVy_ycqJ1QpSJK8L42pQPc0-jfl1v2yDggStEXFlzko/s1600-h/27676.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvrujUAQu84zkBxVKs-TdhpMfJ9VqMyfGdHaLc4DIyS48O5byrG0vLp7dXjPYpvAuf7VvtHJ9g70IlQQNtrjBPWV_YkKu2XkfWVy_ycqJ1QpSJK8L42pQPc0-jfl1v2yDggStEXFlzko/s400/27676.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289045448740358114" /></a><br /><br />1 Reality Check 4:01<br />2 Conquistadors 3:46<br />3 Solar Powered Intro 0:10<br />4 Solar Powered 4:28<br />5 Slang Blade Intro 0:22<br />6 Slang Blade 2:37<br />7 Binary Shuffle Intro 0:22<br />8 Binary Shuffle 3:41<br />9 Fellowship (feat.

However, I'll have another show this time for playing Metal of the atmospheric style (think doom, drone, prog, post, etc). It will be called "Lost In A Black Hole" and will be 2 hours long instead of one. Check this blog for updates on the day and time for the new show which will be beginning in the end of January.<br /><br />Also I would like to wish everyone luck on their finals in the upcoming weeks.MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477358772225780175.post-10694495545851471382008-12-13T14:31:00.000-08:002008-12-13T16:23:09.136-08:00John Zorn's Masada - het (eight) (1997)It's one week from Hanukkah and I'm in a jazz mood so here's an early Hanukkah gift from myself to all my fellow Jews.<br /><br />Jazz saxophonist John Zorn, who was born Jewish, has led a highly prolific career playing and composing in many different styles of jazz and other music. Some of the music he made may not even by considered "music" by the average joe, namely his extreme music jazz fusion groups Naked City and Painkiller. In these groups hes performed with people you may consider to be some of your favorites like Mike Patton, Bill Laswell, and Baltimore's own Bill Frisell. Some other of John Zorn's works include his work on movie and television scores, his work with orchestras, his solo jazz career, his record label Tzadik, and his Klezmer influenced jazz fusion project Masada, which I will be sharing with you.<br /><br /><br />Klezmer music, for those of you that don't know, is traditional Ashkenazi Jewish music from the 15th century. I don't really know the history of the music but it has had a revival in the united states in the last 20 years. Partially due to avant-garde jazz musicians such as Zorn. When John Zorn wrote the music for Masada he was trying to become more in touch with his Jewish heritage, saying "The idea with Masada is to produce a sort of radical Jewish music, a new Jewish music which is not the traditional one in a different arrangement, but music for the Jews of today. The idea is to put Ornette Coleman and the Jewish scales together."<br /><br />So here it is the eighth section of the Masada songbook and a happy Hanukkah (and other less important winter holidays) to all.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsfi83NMsEpDh8TnrM0dZtqd7lIpO9k-myVz4hPW7qDr9CzhwFIV9Fs-muGkMZYGVV0dk_7bwkqOwlMtRhAnTTnOACoFaz7ffI8pld1QiLUh52TYNTn0Ck9b8l9asLB7zTeqpBdWSRyI/s1600-h/88962.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsfi83NMsEpDh8TnrM0dZtqd7lIpO9k-myVz4hPW7qDr9CzhwFIV9Fs-muGkMZYGVV0dk_7bwkqOwlMtRhAnTTnOACoFaz7ffI8pld1QiLUh52TYNTn0Ck9b8l9asLB7zTeqpBdWSRyI/s400/88962.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279429064802317714" /></a><br /><br />1.

However, I've been attempting to find more drone that interests me and I happened to find my biggest discovery in a while, The Angelic Process. Now I share it with you all.<br /><br />The Angelic Process are from macon, georgia which is possibly the perfect place for inspiration for atmospheric metal besides alaska. It's kind of hard to describe exactly how this band sounds but I'll make my best attempt. Its like the atmosphere of post-rock combined with the intensity of sludge metal to form a sound that could only come from what has to be one of the most depressing places to live in America. If I could put into words how much I have loved this album in the 3 listens I have given it so far I would have no doubt about whether you would download this.<br /><br />Unfortunately for someone like me who has just gotten into this band there is some bad news. Earlier this year K.Angylus, one of the members of this 2 man project, passed away. Hopefully his legend will live through the beautiful music he made.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_tUR0h1QoNSJpJZsTAlGv95cc5UOc-MKRziFb_bLXK2e3snTYusyLcevTE0ADm5GXHuXQ704MaNET3oA6SwNcHGdmQKlHPtvIC1juhu7TmIYcYIgKmiHLniBSQiZ-3V6eau2TK4jCRp8/s1600-h/874217.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_tUR0h1QoNSJpJZsTAlGv95cc5UOc-MKRziFb_bLXK2e3snTYusyLcevTE0ADm5GXHuXQ704MaNET3oA6SwNcHGdmQKlHPtvIC1juhu7TmIYcYIgKmiHLniBSQiZ-3V6eau2TK4jCRp8/s400/874217.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278669810873147282" /></a><br /><br />1.

In The Woods... created a brand of progessive metal that blended black metal, doom metal, and experimental rock of the 60s/70s to form a sound that would later influence many in the avant-garde black metal scene. The album <span style="font-style:italic;">Heart of the Ages</span>, which was the bands first full length release, shows the beginnings of their experimentation beyond the typical black metal sound. They achieve this by adding keyboards, female vocals, clean signing along with black metal and death metal style vocals, long songs, tempo changes, and other things that are considered "progressive" or "avant-garde".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPkTobMY1skKVkUvW-QCP3FLgfW8UPSnNmBBW-p9RcDvushNQvrKTNF7stX3i_PaawslEbvPLNFuGeLBRWrwxFLCx9PSSTQ1PCHuoCzbCJ1lla8XloQ5Ihdf18aetEpvb0GtQoK0qFsc/s1600-h/87583.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPkTobMY1skKVkUvW-QCP3FLgfW8UPSnNmBBW-p9RcDvushNQvrKTNF7stX3i_PaawslEbvPLNFuGeLBRWrwxFLCx9PSSTQ1PCHuoCzbCJ1lla8XloQ5Ihdf18aetEpvb0GtQoK0qFsc/s400/87583.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277887654557693154" /></a><br /><br />1 Yearning the Seeds of a New Dimension 12:23<br />2 HEart of the Ages 8:22<br />3 ...In the Woods 7:50<br /> - Prologue <br /> - Moments of... <br /> - Epilogue <br />4 Mourning the Death of Aase 3:33<br />5 Wotan's Return 14:52<br />6 Pigeon 3:00<br />7 The Divinity of Wisdom 9:07<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?22yqnyfjzdn">In The Woods... - Heart of the Ages (1995)</a><br /><br />If you like this BUY IT and also check out all the other In The Woods... releases.MastamaxXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13936565849766083907noreply@blogger.com5
