Details are still sparse right now, but apparently Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho was hospitalized in Nashville last night, forcing the band to cancel their set at the sold-out show featuring them and Amon Amarth. No official statement has been given yet on the cause, but this is somewhat worrying given Laiho’s hospitalization last month which made them cancel a few Mayhem Fest dates. We’ll try to keep you updated if the status of the tour changes.

There are some bands more adept at riding the chaos than others in the storied history of underground music. From noise and hardcore pioneers like Steel Pole Bathtub to Man Is The Bastard to synth/indie/post-core bands like Six Finger Satellite to numerous grindcore bands like Fuck The Facts, etc.- some groups just embody the concept of "fuck it/let's really go for it" more than others. NY's Black Mesa sits proudly in that same spirit of frenzy and ferocious inventiveness, as evidenced by their recent compilation of insanely manic live performances. Whatever sub genre they throw in the emotional blender, you are bound to enjoy a deliciously nutritious smoothie of muddy sonic punk purée.
