SEEINGTHEDARK.COM: saturn returns are hard.

< saturn returns are hard. >

As you may already know, I'm having an acute case of the "fuckits" and it's affecting everything musical and creative that I normally partake in. Please stand by for eventual breakdown and/or breakthrough.

In the meantime, Portland's getting a lot of love lately and you can find plenty of its music online. For starters: Red Fang, Witch Mountain, Danava, Nether Regions, Rabbits, Diesto, Lord Dying, Norska, Lamprey, Wizard Rifle, Megaton Leviathan, Transient, Atriarch, Salvador, Thrones... and if you dig a little deeper, each of these has done shows with a number of lesser-known bands that you should probably give a shot. Facebook has become very useful for information like this. Get an account, look them up, and keep track; it's worth it... even when you feel like crap!

PS. Seattle has cool music, too.

about

SeeingtheDark.com is a personal music blog sharing heavy rock and metal along with assorted quips. Started in 2007, it has evolved from a song-a-day blog to something more narcisstic and nebulous. Regardless of what I say, I hope you follow the links, listen to the music, and always make up your own mind.

You can send emails to cyberspaceship (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm not a fan of label spam nor do I write professional reviews, so please keep that in mind before sending me anything.
