Start looking for a new Fanzine out of Philadelphia called Promethean
Crusade, it features a cornucopia of Metal reviews and I'm going to try to
fuse some zornlist appropriate items into it as soon as I start contributing
reviews. It'll be available FREE at many area record stores soon.

If you need an expert on this subject I suggest you track down the head
buyer at the new Virgin on 14th & B'Way, Adrian Pinto. He tries to keep
this stuff in stock and he knows what he's talking about.

As I mentioned in my earlier message, the comparison was only because I was asked to describe the band related to Zorn... I agree it is oversimplifying things, but you hit the idea behind my description right on the head!!

Voivod are another great band... I love every album with the exception of "Angel Rat." I actually got some nice Voivod bootleg videos a few weeks back...

You can get the album at http://www.relapse.com

I'll be there!! Gorguts are also playing!!

So what did you think of the sample?

I don't really think there is an overt similarity, but I was asked what Zorn=
projects they were most closely related to. I thought Painkiller for the=
metalish feel and heaviness of it, and Naked City for the bizzare=
arrangements and total tightness. Also, Naked City is a more traditional=
"band" as far as elevtric instruments (with the exception of the sax).=20
Are there any other Zorn projects you feel are closer to Meshuggah?

I'd love to see that if you ever get it off the ground, and would be happy=
to contribute in any way I can.=20

A good place is actually the Downtown Music Gallery. There is a buy who=
works there along with Bruce (I think his name is Mike) that stocks=
specialty metal items in the shop and will order most stuff for you. There=
is also Lethal Wear (I think it is now called Lethal Zone). The address=
escapes me at the moment, but it is 3 or so blocks west of the DMG. They=
have a HUGE metal selection but are pretty overpriced. If you are looking=
to get metal over the web, the best place is Century Media (http://www.cent=
urymedia.com). They are somewhat slow, but the prices cannot be beat!
While on the subject of metal, has anyone on the list heard Strapping Young =
Lad?
