New Band Alert: Halo of Snakes

Posted by Megan Seling on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 10:25 AM

Halo of Snakes features Brandon Wallace (old drummer for Champion), Rich Hoak (Brutal Truth), Matt Smith (Hot Cross), and Joey Angel. The band recently recorded a couple songs and posted them on their MySpace page.

Not bad, not bad. Some metal-ish guitar, some doomy bass, some thrashy, pissed off vocals. I don't love it, but I'm intrigued. They supposedly working on a new record as well.

Here's what they have to say about the new music: "No sampling, no beatmapping, no guitar pod silliness, minimal overdubs. We used our actual gear, dimed it, recorded live in the same room (there's feedback! I miss feedback!) We're all pretty pleased."

How punk rock.

In other news, the Hot Cross EP Fair Trades and Farewells is still totally killer and you should buy and/or listen to it right now.

(Thanks for the tip, Punknews.org.)

Also Cryonics.

And I don't care what anyone says, their final record was good.

nahh.
it's all about "a new set of lungs".
you can stop after that.
cryonics = too self indulgent. took a good idea and killed it.
resurrected it. and and then killed it again. hit the "continue" option. then died 3 more times after that.
game over.
