Liturgy gets destroyed...

[badgevvrecker]

the village voice quote is perhaps the most epicly douche-chilling so far:
""As best as I can figure at this breakneck speed, it's a highest-velocity trade-off of 7/8 and 10/8 riffs, with one quite satisfying extra 7/4 on every third turn-around--you know, just to keep it from being a total exercise in temple-massaging hypertension. Combine 17 and 17 with the accommodating 14 support beam, and you get an even 48--which translates back into a swinging 4/4 groove. "

because we've never heard meshuggah.....

Absolute defamation

[soiled depends]

how is it that in a place as "tough" as NY, that assholes like this are not beat up all the time?

NY: your black metal prince needs to introduce you to nature blast beats...

"yes sir..."

they live in a gentrified hipster infested part of brooklyn. they seem to have scared the niggers away...must be the high rent.

We expanded into a full band in order to realize an idea I had about a new kind of blast beat called the burst beat. The burst beat is more true to life than the blast beat, more like systems in nature, in two ways. First, the tempo accelerates and decelerates; it expands and contracts, like breathing, or the economy, etc. Secondly, it abruptly crosses thresholds between different modes. Just as water goes from ice to liquid to gas, or a horse goes from walk to trot to canter – the burst beat transitions freely between different kinds of blast/grind beats with different tempos. I was never able to realize this idea adequately using a drum machine and multi-tracking. It has to happen live.

seriously, this guy cant track multiple tempos?

i was going to say something about how i have trouble programming drums in multiple time signatures and then i realized he said "tempos." uhh..

Transcendentalism is the best thing to happen to Jewish property owners in Williamsburg ever.

i wasnt' aware there was a black metal liturgy. fucking gay.

Thread confused the shit out of me until I figured this out.

So do y'alls think that if I started playing in a band that sounded like this, I'd make any cash or at least be able to convince really stupid people in my scene that I'm some kind of brilliant artiste? Although I'd personally prefer money...

I think in theory it's supposed to be like Steve Reich's phasing? It just sounds like sloppy picking/blasting to me.

ah, I don't feel so alone anymore

Like I'm listening to bits of 'Renihilation' now and there are points where it sounds like the guitars and drums could be dividing the beat up in different ways. Maybe the guitars are playing straight 16th notes but the drums are blasting in 16th note quintuplets, so everyone still meets back up at the top of every beat. But they're always bashing along so fast that it just sounds like one of the dudes has been practicing while the rest sold their metronomes for bigger thesauruses.

I like the idea of creating polyrhythmic/phased/whatever madness out of beehive black metal riffs, but Liturgy is certainly not doing that.

OH fuck - he fails with the pronunciation in this years-old vid, see 1:55 (immediately after that he proceeds to suck Colin Marston's cock)

Hey, that's my job.

Good job Vanessa

[not null]

I want to know Thrill Jockey and 20 Buck Spin's take on this... anyone seen any interviews?

[mithrandir]

when the relapsers circle around like a pack of wolves and hate on something so uniformly, then I know Liturgy must be doing something right...!

"Hmm, that Mithy guy posted last. I bet it's some contrarian I'm-better-than-you-sheep bullshit"

well whadda ya know..

[james]

Mithrandir's ivory tower only fits one it is true, but the shit he yells down to the rest of us is often worth at least considering

I think he's just from space, or a hidden magic dimension, like wormholegenerator or guillermo del toro

liturgy is as black metal as making videos of yourself and your crippled girlfriend doing horrible pop karaoke. shit is so fucking preciously transcendental that we will never get it.

Whoa, that was good!

And yeah, this black metal liturgy is awful. It's like all these metalcore kids playing what they think metal is supposed to sound like, but way, way more pretentious.

[Frank Friendly]

Would never call liturgy Black metal (as they never killed any xasthur fans) but i really like Renihilation.



(i probaly should post in the drunk tread instead)
