In “I wish this tour was Stateside” news, the industrial groove metal institution Prong are touring Europe and HARK is one of the bands in tow. Hark used to basically be Taint and both of those bands are/were incredible sludge metal with technical bursts. I’m not familiar with Steak Number Eight but it’s a horrible band name and idea (you’ll have a heart attack). Regardless, this tour is going to kick ass and Prong’s latest covers album Songs From The Black Hole will be interesting as well.

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.
