Do you like Subject to Change Without Notice or II better?
I am partial to STCWN. So fucking good. Can;t help but bang your head.

I like II a little better. STCWN seems to meander around a little bit much, like they were listening to Neurosis too much. Still a great disc.
Glad to see Keelhaul getting some recognition; I thought I was the only one who knew them.

SHAMELADY

There are very few musical acts out there that are just plain creepy, and I don't mean "creepy" in the "all our lyrics and artwork are about killing and raping and torturing people" overblown world of death or black metal. Bands that successfully create a truly disturbing atmosphere are few, but those that do can easily be considered among the cream of the heavy music crop; Bethlehem, Today is the Day, Esoteric, Black Sabbath, Acid Bath, Skepticism, and Pig Destroyer, among others, are all examples of bands that do more than just pen lyrics about death and blood and suicide, they create an oppressive feeling and come off as literally deranged. Well be prepared to add Shamelady to that impressive list of musically disturbed. The Winter Days Were Nights is the first album and second release from these Oregon assassins and their brand of sludge will have the strongest of us yearning for some razorblade catharsis. As with any quality band, pigeonholing their exact sound is difficult, but if you can imagine the mangled musical offspring of Today is the Day and Acid Bath, you would get an idea of where these guys are coming from. The music is proficient technically, but never more then it has to be. Shamelady aren't afraid to simplify their sound to great effect. The opening track "Diamond On Fire" is a slow acoustic crescendo into a thunderous sludgy, melodic rhythm that keeps the same guitar pattern for almost the whole four minutes of the track, but the rhythm is attacked with such building intensity that the listener knows that what comes after will be nothing short of relentless.
As the album progresses that tone gets more manic and more intense with each song, climaxing at the second to last track, "Arnold Friend." Clocking in at under two minutes and thirty seconds, this is where Shamelady delivers their musical money shot all over the collective faces of their audience. The chugging guitar are alternating with some short, fantastic melodies which quickly descend into a repeated stacattoed rhythmic assault, which then segways into the longest and most powerful track on the album, "Diamond in Water." This song plays right to Shamelady's strength, frantic vocals, and those Today is the Day-esque guitar rhythms which keep getting more intense until the end where they let it all hang out for the final two minutes of haunting melody.
To put it succinctly, The Winter Days Were Nights is one of my favorite albums of 2005 thus far. The fact that I never knew of this group before receiving this album in the mail makes it even more appealing. Rotten Records really have proven themselves to be one of the elite labels in the recent past, and signing these unknowns prove their status.

I don't know about Sam Adams, but this band is pretty neato. Hydra Head ftw! :Smokin:
At one of the Heathen Crusades we waltzed into a liquor store which had one of the hottest sales representatives* I ever seen passing out samples ala Costco. The lager tasted like it came out of one of her orifices. Every other time Ive put a SA pint to my lips it tasted like swill. Feel free to reco Sam Adams varities that dont taste like Mike Napoli's beard droppings fell in the mash.
