Saturday Song to Get Stoned To

SATURDAY SONGZ TO GET STONED TO: TWO BY GOSPEL [RIP]

 Saturday, May 9th, 2009 at 1:29pm by

It’s really sad to watch an amazing band cut its career short when there is SO much f’n promise. Gospel were definitely one of those bands — really diverse progressive hardcore sound, with one of the most impressive young drummers I’d seen in ages. Thankfully I had the pleasure of seeing these guys rockit live when they were, well, rockin it live, but jeez I really could’ve used a hell of a lot more.

Why, oh why did this group have to fall? One can only wonder if the band drama that was catalyst for their demise was worth it…

After you get your Saturday lift on, go ahead and check out a couple tracks from their only stunning full-length The Moon Is A Dead World (produced by Kurt Ballou from Converge), and then go buy it — just cause the band is done, doesn’t mean somebody ain’t collecting residuals in order to pay their rent, nawmean?

SUPPORT DEAD BANDS!!!!

GOSPEL — “Yr Electric Surge is Sweet”

GOSPEL — “A Golden Dawn”

(both from The Moon Is A Dead World (2005))

    I had the pleasure of getting to see this band play live once while I was frying on ‘cid.I thought my brain was gonna liquefy & pour outta my ears fro the sheer awesomeness & intensity they unleashed on the crowd.

    “and its only just a matter of time

    before we all gotta go underground.

    and for whats its worth

    they ain’t got no drugs down there”

    You can’t emphasize buying music and call people thieves, then give them a link to steal it. It doesn’t work like that.

      Just what I was thinking

    Sweet, need nore of that!

    But still, go and listen to Hacksaw To The Throat, another great dead band. I think you’ld like them…

    Whether you steal this or buy it, this is very cool. At times ambient and avante garde, and at other times crusty sludge. I’ve actually heard of this band in the context of “They’re hard to find, but you HAVE to hear this band!”

    Downloaded it and loved it. As a drummer, it’s like liquid sex to my ears.

  • The Hate Machine

    I want to say thanks for the hookup on this band. I have listened to it 4 times and already cant just listen to one song. Damn shame that bands like that disintegrate. \m/

    Yr Electric Sure is Sweet is amazing. I’ll definitely get more by this band

    This shit is really cool. It’s abstract and in your face at the same time. It’s an audible paradox.
