Over on Joup I have just posted my thoughts on what was an amazing show that changed how I view music. I know I've talked a lot about him here lately but I simply cannot recommend Tristan Shone's music enough. It is the first of its kind and something truly different in a world where different is increasingly impossible.

Hope Drone - Ambient Black Metal

Any time I see the words "Ambient" and "Black Metal" used in regards to the same band I take notice.

Hope Drone's bandcamp has their eponymous e.p. available at a "name your price" amount, so if you dig what you hear head on over and help support them.

Interestingly enough, "Hope Drone" was also the working title of  Godspeed You! Black Emperor's set-opener when my wife and I saw them at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall back in April of '12.

Sunn 0))) - Grimm and Bear it

I've never heard anything like this before.
