(Photo: Marty Watson) Instrumental metal is either your thing or it isn't, unless we're talking about Pelican . They're not Sunn O))), you know? Dudes aren't soft, but the sludge they kick around is more cerebral than it is oppressive. And you don't have to know Calculus to find the first beat of a measure. And some dude who really worships Phil Anselmo isn't deepthroating the mic. It's approachable...

It doesn't get much more disturbing than reading about the brutal double rape and murder in Knoxville, Tennessee, of Chistopher Newsom (23) and his girlfriend Channon Christian (21) in 2007. The couple were carjacked by four men, taken to a house rented by one of the four, and subjected to cruelty and sadism beyond words or description. The attack was overtly sexual, with both victims being repeatedly...
Brooklyn's Bear In Heaven have been at it since 2003, meaning they predate the handful of other ursine named bands from the area. I guess you'd call that unlucky foresight or something. And while their spectral, linear psych-funk is probably not on Jay and B's radar, it is assuredly on ours, as we await their new LP for Hometapes , Beast Rest Forth Mouth .
