To get you in the Christmas spirit, here is the music video to "Unholy Night" by Detroit, Michigan-based deathgaze act off of their 2020 EP Vazumnacht, inspired by the legend of Krampus
Saw Protomartyr over a week ago and am still sad the gig is over. Been experiencing a ton of anxiety lately because I got promoted at my job and have no idea what I'm doing half the time. This gig was the first time in weeks where I wasn't stressing out about something in the future or past and just giving myself to the moment. Protomartyr are one of the few bands I love virtually every song by, but even so I finally got to hear my absolute favorite ("Maidenhead"), plus hearing songs off their new record live really made the album click into place for me (had been in-between about it prior). Plus we were in the front row of the balcony, Kelley Deal's side (she's a live member) and we could see everything that was going on. Also, believe me when I say Joe Casey is a god -- he's usually just standing there and drinking multiple beers, some which seem to magically appear out of thin air, yet he's completely awe-inspiring.
Dunno why I'm posting this particular video along with this word spew, other than I think the awkward rollercoaster banter is funny and that guitar riff in "My Children" is so fucking mighty -- I've probably listened to this song and obscene amount at this point and that opening riff still slays like nobody's business. This is a truly special band & I'll probably love them forever at this point.
