they are slower and heavier live than on record. could be fun - I'm definitely seeing em when they play out here.

i've not really heard them before either- were they on rotten records once or am i thinking of some other band?

they are similar to Isis and Neurosis and used to be on Rage of Achilles, but are now signed to Earache. From Umeå, Sweden.

I was a dipshit and didn't have the balls to ask for a day off of work to see them in Budapest, so I'd say go and don't be a shitheel like me.

i think they're really good - i would have seen them out here if they weren't playing at the Palladium.

went. at first, all they did was remind me that i still haven't bought Panopticon- but that's not really fair. would've been a lot more into it had i picked up the new record before going. without knowing the little nuances to look for, it did start to kind of drone on. but i picked Salvation up last night, & glad i did- really good record.
up close they didn't seem enormously engaging, but that was partly due to a relatively small & unmotivated crowd, me not knowing their music, and a somewhat lack of movement on the band's part. good bass, guitar, & drum sounds (sorry, but that snare sound is a dead ringer for isis)- couldn't hear the keys much, although i'm sure they're more for atmosphere than anything. enjoyed them a lot more after i backed away closer to the sound booth to hear more- not an overly energetic, suck-you-in live act which is evident in their sound, i guess. upon listening to Salvation, i do want to go back and hear them again to appreciate it more.
breather resist were solid with a pretty big backline for such a tiny stage. good tunes, good energy, really tight.
the other band.. "southern fried stoner rock" from south new jersey. (Note: talking to St. Louis people about being a southern rock band comes off as kind of ingenuine when you admit you're from NJ, mkay? and wearing a Cardinals cap does not make you hip here.) vox like phil anselmo's in Down. the guitarists listen to a lot of Mountain, which was totally evident in their lead licks. les pauls and orange amps- one guitarist broke a string and (*sob*) had to resort to using a fender strat. which they pointed out as a weakness. breather resist's intensity kicked their ass, using ONE fender guitar. my dog can play detuned stoner licks on a les paul.

and while you're checking CoL, i'll be watching The Champs.

yeah, it does really help to know the material beforehand when checking out slow/heavy bands live. very easy to get bored.
