SXSW 2014 Beerfest Starts At Beerland
(March 11, 2013) Beerland seemed the perfect venue for the suds fest that marked this year's South By Southwest festival--at least the music portion. Alcohol-induced projections, from top to bottom, were a common, public spectacle this year. One had to be aware of stepping into a puddle of piss or slipping on chucks of regurgitated BBQ on the sidewalk. Some venues, including parties held outside of the downtown area, even offered free drinks. The following night at Dirty Dog Bar, Christian Mistress singer, Christine Davis, called SXSW a "beerfest" during a brief break between songs. More...

Stoneburner Streams New Track "Some Can"
Today, the sludge conjurors in Stoneburner are pleased to slash your faces with their newest psalm of sonic severity, "Some Can."

The album will be unveiled in North America via Neurot Recordings on April 15th, 2014 (April 14th in the UK/EU).
Elaborates drummer/vocalist Jesse McKinnon,"'Some Can' is the first song on the album and a pretty fair hint of what's to come later. The song is about being completely aware of what you need to do in order to better your life and yourself, but sometimes that's just not in the cards you're dealt. To push the feel of raging frustration to an even higher level we were thrilled to have our sister Krysta [Martinez], from Transient and Landmine Marathon come in and throw the fuck down on the heavy vocals. It's not nihilism, it's realism. Eeyore knows what's up..." More...

“If our preceding record was something like a tribute to bands like Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Scorpions or Helloween themselves, in this new album our references are Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet for my Valentine“, explains guitarist John Portillo. “We’ve created more solid sound bases, we’ve lowered tuning, we’ve got more forceful riffs and we’ve worked hard on guitar and vocal melodies“, he adds.
The album title "Love Songs and Other Nightmares" given by the Bavarian singer Wolf is based on personal experiences, with Love as a powerful and dangerous addiction, alcohol, drugs and gambling. “Although it’s not a concept album, Love and addiction are strongly related in every song“, explains Portillo. Songs like “The Break Up” or “Cold Rain“, the first single off the album are the evidence that KILMARA and Grapow have created a powerful and electric wrapping for a set of songs endowed with great magnetism.
The album was produced and recorded at Grapow Studios with Mr. Roland Grapow (Masterplan, ex-Helloween). The cover artwork for "Love Songs and Other Nightmares" was done by Canadian artist Jessica Allain, known for work in digital photo manipulation. Photos were by Gina Roma from Spain.
KILMARA are: Christian Wolfgang Kohl (vocals), Jonathan Portillo (guitar), Enrique Torres (guitar), Javier Morillo (drums), Raul Ruiz (bass guitar). Guests on the new album are Dave Imbernon from Enuma Elish on keyboards and Kaleb from young Spanish pagan death metal band Drakum on the violin. More...
