Pit Stories: Puke Stains And Fried Chicken
Happy Valentine's Day metal heads! Our Pit Story this week may not have much to do with love, but it does feature dirty mattresses where very unpleasant things no doubt went down, so that's close enough, right?
Many of our tales from the pit are all about what's going on during the show, but as any touring musician will attest, there's a lot going of craziness on behind the scenes, especially with bands trying to find a place to hang their hats for the evening before hitting the next town.
This week we've got a tale from the Thera Roya crew about some less-than-pleasant accommodations in Nashville:
I'll never forget when we played in Nashville, TN on our first tour. We thought it would be warm in the winter in New Orleans so we headed south (we're idiots lol). We ended up in a blizzard in Nashville and payed this stellar show at a place called the owl farm. Unfortunately it's not around anymore. This was nearing the mid to end of the tour and all of us were fried at this point mentally. I think Ryan was even catatonic at one point hahaha.
We needed a place to crash that was warm and this guy from one of the other bands had a punk house called the Himan house. We all crammed into this disgusting room with puke stains on the rug and dirty mattresses everywhere. Some of us ran out to get some fried chicken. When we got back and feasted on gas station chicken we noticed these pictures and notes on a wall together and a name that said "Gloria."
One of the members of the house was a repo guy and when he was emptying a house he found a trunk full of pictures and diaries from this girl Gloria who had passed away and he decided to make a shrine at the Himan house. I'll never forget sleeping in Nashville with Gloria's shrine in front of me.

Thera Roya Streaming "Dream Of Arrakis"
Progressive sludge metal band Thera Roya today reveals "Dream of Arrakis," a five-minute track that is both hypnotic and other worldly at the same time. The song is taken from the band's upcoming album "Stone and Skin," due to be released on February 17th, 2017. Thera Roya comments:
"The title came during a pensive walk on a rainy city day. I thought of the rain as 'the dream of arrakis', the desert planet in Dune. The song has an adventuring spirit which reminds me of the story. Jonny's bass line was the first nugget creating this one.
"When we play it I always feel like we're grooving on some mystical adventure. Some kinda shroom parade, or spice waltz. Then it gets heavy and weird, kinda poppy/emo-y in the half time choruses." More...
Thera Roya Announces "Stone And Skin" Release
Brookyln based sludge/post-metal band Thera Roya will release "Stone and Skin" on February 17th, 2017. This album is the band's first full-length offering, following several EP's and splits in the past.
Coming off an extremely busy 2015/16 that saw the band release an EP, a split, and then go on to play 88 shows, Thera Roya is clearly destined for greater things with some serious forward momentum.
In a world where we are finally starting to see post metal get the recognition it deserves, Thera Roya will put out one of the genres most worthy records. Forward thinking, overpowering and strangely transcendent, "Stone & Skin" is the sound of the future.
