I have attended thousands of concerts over the years, so its not very often when a performer literally takes my breath away. At Saint Vitus on Friday night, Deafheaven was one of the few bands that effected me this way. The band opened their set with the first song of their debut album Roads to Judah “Violet” which begins with a very un-Metal like dual-guitar melodic passage before it crashes into the song proper, and features the intense screaming vocals of lead singer George Clarke. From that point forward, it was hard to take my eyes off Clarke whose magnetic stage presence and breathtaking vocals demand awe-inspired attention. And when Deafheaven begins a song, it doesn’t end quickly. The nearly hour-long set contained five songs — the first 3 tracks from Judah, a Mogwai dual-cover (streaming below) and a new song from their forthcoming album Sunbather. Throughout the show, Clarke’s unrelenting energy never wavered, and at its conclusion it was likely the audience and not the singer who needed oxygen. Deafheaven is from San Francisco, but came all the way East for this one-off show in support of Sacrament and Sannhet. They will tour Europe in April, dates here.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the Sannhet set and the sound is equally superb. Enjoy!

Sannhet: February 22, 2013 Saint Vitus – Flac/MP3/Streaming

Sannhet Huang still

I made my second ever trip to Saint Vitus on Friday night. It was an unqualified success in large part because the people who know these things were one hundred percent correct that Sannhet is a band not to be missed. This was the release party for their new record Known Flood, which also happens to be the first release from the new record label Sacrament, established by the folks from Saint Vitus. And what an auspicious debut. At the Friday show, Sannhet played virtually the entire new album in set that was stunning for both its instrumental precision and the crowd’s ultimate response — a chorus of breathless “wows” when the set was over. Sannhet’s music certainly has some resemblance to black metal, but with the projector videos accompanying the music and its dramatic effect, I was reminded not so much of anything metal but of bands such as Godspeed and their post-rock ilk. Ultimately Sannhet is “post-metal”, but regardless of the label, this is powerful music worth seeing as often as possible.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cards mounted in front of the soundboard and mixed with a mono board feed. The sound is superb, enjoy!

Deafheaven was also recorded and will be posted in the next few days.

Magrudergrind: November 27, 2012 St. Vitus – Flac/MP3/Streaming

When our old friend unArtigNYC saw me setting up at St. Vitus on Tuesday, he gave me one of those “what are you doing here” looks. And rightfully so. The site has been to St. Vitus once, and that was acidjack’s recording of Liturgy from earlier this year. And we’ve never actually covered a real metal show. The question is really why the hell not. St. Vitus is the premiere venue for metal in NYC and its a great place — a well-equipped show room, an excellent bar and terrific staff. When I saw that New Orleans metal vets EyeHateGod were coming to Brooklyn for two shows, I figured it was time to break the ice. Good choice. This show had four excellent bands, each offering a slightly different variation on the metal theme. The third band on the bill immediately before the headliners was the Washington DC/Brooklyn grindcore trio Magrudergrind. This was a high-octane politically-themed amalgamation of speed, metal and what we used to call “hardcore” back in the day. And it was 15 songs in 22 minutes of awesome. Magrudergrind is playing again in December out in Copiague on Long Island, and after that their next official date is in 2013. See them if you can.

I recorded this set with the Sennheisers mounted very high back near the soundboard corner. The room was heavy in guitar, but when mixed with a vocal and drum heavy soundboard, the balance is just right. This is a superb recording, and we give much credit to the excellent FOH at St. Vitus. Enjoy!
