mick barr (orthrelm, etc..) the prog-guitar sorcerer started a black metal band called krallice. colin marston of dysrythmia fills in on rhthym guitar, and liv weinstein of bloody panda is behind the kit. im real excited about this. ive always though mick would be perfect in some kind of extreme metal band, and this shit is definitley legitimizing that thought. listening to a the track 'wretched wisom' right now, i can already tell this is gonna be a very neat project. sorta like a mid period darkthrone, with some of the ambient sounds popular in contemporary american black metal (leviathan, wolves in the throne room, xasthur), maybe evenj a tiny bit of hardcore influences, and of course a progressive bent. barr's lead guitar is of course mind blowing as usual, no denying he is one of the most innovative and skilled guitarists in the world right now, and this stuff is some of the coolest riffs hes ever come up with. his vocals are surprisingly great, raspy shouts that remind me of the classic black metal vocalists. very cool stuff. im loving it.
i wonder if mick's buddy and extreme metal lover weasel walter will ever join up with these guys. ive read in iterviews that they love collabing together (which they have on thier 10 inch with hillmer, and the luttenbachers records 'cataclysm' and 'spectral warrior mythos'), and a brutal progressive black metal band would seem a perfect place to do it.

Cool, I bet this'll be great. Though I'm not a fan of Orthrelm (besides the brilliant "Ov"), I love Crom-Tech... Octis and Ocrillim are okay, and I thought Mick Barr/Zach Hill's album together was one of the worst things I've ever heard.
But I bet this will be great. I hope he ditches that ear piercing tone at some point... |

crom-tech is still my fave mick barr project. ocrillim-ov is fucking awesome as well. and, i love orthrelm, i dont really see anything not to like about that band. creative, extremly technical buy not wank off-ish, amazing riffs, emotional.
hey sonic, you heard the collab betwen mick, weasel, and sam hillmer? its really cool. weasel is on drums and smashes through complex rhythm patterns ands a healthy dosage of blast beats, mick is in top form as always (you cant really define how he plays, but you just know how fucking good he is), and hillmer plays skronky sax. its not the best record around, but its certainly fun listening to three of the most talented guys in modern music fuck around and make crazy ass lo-fi progressive/avant-jazz/noise sounds.

Orthrelm did OV, not Ocrillim. I'm sure you know that but typed it wrong.

Yeeah. Mick's alright, he just often does the same exact thing on every single thing he's ever done. Not a huge fan of his style (tremolo picking the bottle 2 strings on frets 12-20 all the time), though he's participated in some great work.
I'm downloading the Krallice album right now. |

Just listened to the album.
It's good, though a bit exhaustive of course. |

I just listened to this on iTunes. It's great, and it's come along just when I thought I'd burnt myself out on black metal.

This is some pretty good shit.....it's a shame the production wasn't better.
EDIT - Actually, this is some DAMN GOOD shit....really digging it. Have you guys seen Orthrelm live? They were insane. I saw them for the first time when they opened up for Fugazi.

Definitely a great live band. I just don't think it's fun to listen to for very long. Definitely a good band to put on your mix tapes.
...................except "OV", which is one of the best albums of all time. Notice they haven't done anything since then (except Behold the Arctopus split). I mean, really, what else can they say after that? |
