Things You Can Look Forward To In 2012…

I might not update this blog for a few days, but here’s what I have in store for 2012:

  • A full review of the Kylesa/Whores/Royal Thunder show on New Year’s Eve. This will be my last show review until May (unless it’s a local Chattanooga show), so I’ve got to make this one count!
  • Beyond Doomed: A brand new mini-series of articles that explores occult and masonic imagery in sludge/stoner/doom metal music and album art. I have enlisted the help of a few world-weary souls to help me in these articles, but if you’re an expert on occult symbolism and arcana, feel free to volunteer in helping me out!
  • Women of Sludge Metal Appreciation Week Part IV will probably get under way in March. If you are a woman in a sludge/stoner/doom metal band and want to participate (either by submitting music or answering my five-question interview), please hit up my ask box! I want to get more interviews this time around. Part III was a bit of a disaster ^^’

Also, in 2012, we can look forward to new releases by:

  • Neurosis
  • Baroness
  • High on Fire
  • Tiger! Tiger!
  • Made out of Babies
  • Sleigh Bells
  • Undersmile
  • Surely many more that I can’t think of off the top of my head!

Just a reminder: Here are some great sludge/stoner/doom-related blogs to follow (I don’t run any of these, so don’t ask me to post anything to them!):

Sludge Nation

Forever Doom

Sludge Core

See you lovely souls in the new year! Let’s make it a good one!
