LOCAL DUNGEON

Winter Becomes Obsolete 2026

Yeah, so, we are fucking done with this shit. The last death throes that deadly month sent us as a birthday present was a gogdamn meteopathic lumbago. Which is mighty ironic, that we rid of it with another sucky assasinatiin contender, the good night sleep.

The celebratory events conclude here - in the BASEMENT, basically a local dungeon, where we enjoyed some JAMES PLOTKIN quartet (aka KHANATE). [edit: the funny thing, this is also the FIRST ever place i went to gig here in the land of the free (beer) in the distant '23, how about that.]

Ride under a proper spring rain, say "hi" to the mighty ANDERS at the entrance (we at that phase of acquaintance), and i'm going in ™️.

Another gig, another ginger beer (i was already full of delicious red biowine anyway), the hero of today's party, TAAGEBUE, sells only CDs of his other, bm, projects and a steal deal of art to decorate my personal altar of life. Score!

The first number was - i guess we continue our winter jazz adventure - the return of the TAAGEBUE (the local dungeon synth champ). He did a banging set no notes, this shit takes you out of your misery into an open medieval grave, while kicking your ass with a flute. The slapping bassline, CRIPTADEL-esque rhythms, organ samples, flutes - awesome stuff. There was some new stuff mixed with the certified bangers from an only album, our guy is cooking something juicy, prepare your pockets! I say it as many times as i can - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DS, cheers, goodbye.

Oh wow what happened next. The locals (it is locals only party tonight) from HEKSPROCES, buncha art students i guess ("-what kind of art? -...core!") playing genre that today in general consensus nobody can definitively describe, so uses everything from «post-*any-metal*» to sludge/doom(-metal) to whatever (word 'atmospheric' thrown a lot). But back in our times (when it was already out of fashion or something) we called "artcore" (whatever it meant). Well, for the music snobbery it is fine enough use some and any label, i guess. You know what i mean by THAT genre - isis the band, late NEUROSIS, KNUT, CULT OF LUNA to name a few (i don't have an access to my old 'music' folders to check more (it were mostly 'new new new music' folders anyway, but i digress)). ANYWAY, that what were those guys playing i guess - some sort of slow/fast heavy/touching doom and gloom post-'core-screaming special kind of «rock». They started with all ladies chorus singing some folk lore, then used special dude with a kind of throat singing, a flute (real this time) guy went helping to «rock» (like in —art rock—?) and so on. Some parts were sounding definitely like KNUT the BAND (my beloved), so it is something. They were rocking for some time, then at the very end on the stage jumped the mustache man from earlier this month (band VIDNET), the aforementioned throat guy (he was looking like an art professor), an extra guitarist - so all setup even more resembled that legendary KNUT gig with isis the band on stage together - and then, the frontman (who already looked like a damn pompadour in 3 piece suit) donned a crazy witch hat and pointer glasses - and the whole procession (together with vocalist of the next band) did a FUCKING CELTIC FROST COVER FROM -MONOTHEIST-. (T) OM G. (WARRIOR) that was incredible. No notes.

The last stop for today, and the whole february trash program, the, you guessed, local band LYSBÆRER. The three guitar set-up and for an atmo POST BLACK? Okay. The effects, the blasts, the freaky screeching vocals, we had it all alright. On stage: the mustachio-man, a bald bass boy, a white-haired guitar guy, a drummer was giving "i wanna listen to butt rock" nasty mustache look; and finally a bald/beard-combo frontman, who's looking at the same time like THE RUINS OF BEVERAST dude and the local ural legend mr. puzo.

But damn mang, this music just cannot stop. The POST in post black metal is basically the rejection of METAL conventions like black shining leather, a "satan" and a beer boozem attitude etc, it is just people playing black metal as music. Of course, "post" black metal gravitate towards something "atmospheric", kinda akin to «"post"-metal»/sludges of the world, but the core (now that's the joke) remains the same - high tempo, high drive bombardement while screeching. And those locals did it pretty well, played downright ecstatic abm in best traditions of AGRICULTURE. The drummer was (as children say) the GOAT obviously, but the sound was so crystalclear good for the guitarmen sake, so the whole sound picture just freaking worked. Pretty damn nice, tapped and banged. The last leg of a set we saw another exchange of people on stage - now the johnny bravo frontman of HEKSPROCES joined them for, i suppose, another cover, idk, but still slapping. We finish this on a high note folks!

And that was it, riding in the rain with pockets full of art, no love lost this damn month, an enormous step up from previous year, fucking awesome. Let us live, again.

Thanks for the ride.
