metal titans. Formed in 2004
when Venus was in transit, Cassini rubbed nuts with Titan, and NASA’s
Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars, Intronaut—a term that means
‘inner traveler’—would spend the next decade writing, recording, and
releasing genre-defying, category-destroying long-players, the first of
which was 2006’s Void on the Goodfellow label. Soon after, the
Angelenos caught the eyes and ears of Century Media, where they debuted
with the incredible Prehistoricisms, and with it a mountain of acclaim
from tracks like “The Literal Black Cloud” and video single
“Australopithecus”. Over the next seven years, Intronaut would tour
with Mastodon, Helmet, Between The Buried And Me, Tool, and Animals as
Leaders, while also issuing widely lauded full-lengths in Valley of
Smoke and Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words with Tones).
If Intronaut came out of the last decade with anything it’s that
they’re known purveyors of the progressive. They’ve made a name for
themselves through musical, lyrical, and artistic adventures,
journeying into a multitude of styles, parlaying the best of their
influences and their spirit animals into a force that’s immediately
recognizable as Intronaut. Though labeling has its
downfalls—‘progressive’, in terms of music, could mean analogous to
Genesis, Pink Floyd, or Porcupine Tree—Dunable has a different view on
the term and its possibly tenuous association to the band. “I think our
definition of ‘progressive’ has always been different than most
people’s. I consider anything with an innovative spirit
behind it to be progressive. It has very little to do with actual
musical ability and everything to do with translating the insane noises
in your head into music, and not deriving from something that exists
already.”
Bell Witch Bass/Vocals:
Dylan Desmond
Drums/Vocals: Jesse Shreibman
-from Seattle, WA -Seattle
based duo BELL WITCH have, since
their inception in 2010, carved a unique niche in the metal scene.
Utilizing only bass, drums and vocals to create a mournful, melodic
take on minimalism and an ethereal but crushing approach to magnitude.
Their most recent LP, Four Phantoms (2015, Profound Lore) was recorded
by Billy Anderson and is their most focused, structured and melancholy
release to date. Four epic sentiments of funeral / death doom are
orchestrated into arias of the four titular ghosts.

-from Los Angeles, CA -Mustard
Gas and Roses started out as a way
for me to explore ideas that did not fit comfortably into Isis' world.
The band was until recently, only me and my guitar. Lately I have been
playing shows with a revolving cast of other players and the songs have
been coming alive beautifully.
