here, and heavy as hell. One week to go until release date.

You may have heard that I like Zoroaster a bit. I have yet to get any of their stuff on Cd; I have a tendency, when I think I’m likely to try and see a band live, to wait to get a CD at the show. But it looks like I won’t be catching Zoroaster on their upcoming tour, as their closest approaches to Des Moines are Kansas City on July 3, and Minneapolis on July 4, which coincide with 80/35 fest.

Anyway, here’s a sweet promo video for their upcoming album Matador:

Also, quick note: Last night’s Baroness show at Vaudeville Mews kicked ass. That’s all the review it needs.

Heh, I love this band. This video is great fun. In the black-and-white shot of the two scientists freaking out, check out the blackboard behind them. I love when a heavy band doesn’t take themselves overseriously.

Also check out this live video of “Spirit Molecule”:
