I can’t find any info online about the untitled EP from Baltimore’s instrumental post-metalists …soihadto… that mysteriously lives in my iTunes library. I’m pretty sure an old friend (the inimitable Dr. Guzaro Zahmeugua, who also introduced me to this amazing band) gave it to me some time back, and I definitely enjoy its raw, stony stylings each time it blasts through my speakers.
The band seems to have taken a more proggy, atmospheric direction, and recently signed to Chicago’s Grape Juice Records, with a full-length to be released in the near future.
You can peruse upcoming tour dates on the band’s MySpace page, including a July 3rd Atlantic City House of Blues show with Clutch, Monster Magnet, and Wino — holy moly!! And you can get more info on the band/download a few more tracks here.
Check these guys out — you just have to…
…SOIHADTO… — “Urotsukidoji”…SOIHADTO… — “Come And Get Me In My Sleep”
…SOIHADTO… — “Searching For The Cure”

what I dont get is why this band is called “post-metal”. if anything, this band, and bands like neorosis,dysrythmia, etc sound like they take more influence from bands like king crimson, which is from the 70s…which is not post metal…[just a thought].anyone notice that?
I think the term came from comparisons with post-rock, but heavier, hence post-metal. “post-” comes from something to do with using the instruments and techniques of eg. rock to make something that doesn’t sound much like rock.
None of it really makes much sense imo but since when do genre names make sense anyway…
Can’t say I enjoy this band.
Irrelevant comment, the new KsE song/video is the gayest shit I ever heard/saw
I agree and this coming from someone who loves KsE.
Reckoning or Light in a Darkened World? If Reckoning -> totally disagree, if Light in a Darkened World then I can see your point :)
The new song called Starting over.
I haven’t listened to any of it, but is Urotsukidoji a Testament cover?
No, i ckecked and both instrumentals are different, they just have the same name. I rather listen to the one by testament to be honest :p
I want to thank you guys for the hookup on these types of bands. I recently got into Gospel from this site and it hasnt left permanent rotation since. I like these guys too. I can appreciate the newer school of technical players but most of that shit has no feel to it. This band and Gospel send you head to another space (a welcome thing these days)
ComeAndGetMeInMySleep is awesome
haha, its Duff from Charm City Cakes band. Been peeping there shit out for a while. Mostly because I would bone the crap out of Duff. Music is decent. Then again, I don’t smoke weed, so it could be totally bitchin’ if I did.
Testament – Urotsukidoji > SOIHADTO – “Urotsukidoji”
