SUMMARY:Tombs (w/ Replicant\, Sons of Eden\, Fetal Chunk Deformation)
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn experimental mental outfit Tombs headline Empire Underground Albany\, with special guests Replicant\, Sons of Eden\, and Fetal Chunk Deformation. \nMike Hill is not a man interested in appeasing his existing audience or modifying the music he makes in the hope of luring in a broader one. Anyone doubting this needs only to look to the recorded output Tombs has dropped over the past decade\, which while ultimately remaining rooted in the blackened\, post-metallic sound vomited up on 2007′s self-titled EP has constantly diversified and evolved. With The Grand Annihilation\, Tombs‘ fourth full-length and Metal Blade debut\, this tradition is maintained\, and in many ways it is the most epic\, ambitious\, emotionally and tonally varied of the band’s career\, which is very much borne out in the subject matter. “The title comes from the idea of destroying the current world to open the door for the new world\,” Hill states. “The Hindus tap into this cyclical nature of the universe. The idea of Kali Ma\, destroying the universe to create a new reality is a key theme both in a more universal sense and also on a personal level of destroying your own personal worlds to create a new chapter.“Following up the band’s last full-length\, 2014′s Savage Gold\, Hill had his work cut out for him\, acknowledging that it was “the closest we came to realizing what I thought the band should sound like.” Showcasing a more brutal\, extreme side of the band\, it hit home hard – and the touring cycles that followed saw them being embraced by ever bigger crowds. Longtime fans will be aware that many musicians have come and gone from Tombs‘ ranks over the course of the band’s existence\, most recently augmented by drummer Charlie Schmid (Vaura/Karyn Crisis’ Gospel Of The Witches) and guitarist Evan Void (Hivelords/Ominous Black)\, who joined in 2014. However\, while some bands might stumble with their lineup being in a state of constant flux\, this has never been an issue for Tombs\, and with good reason. “This may sound like hubris but it’s the truth: Tombs has always been my singular vision and the members are almost interchangeable\,” Hill states plainly. “I’ve had members come and go\, and while the people involved in the band bring their own interpretation of my specific vision\, it’s not a collaborative effort\, really. I put in the required time to create the songs: hours\, days\, weeks\, months; whatever it takes. The other members add their parts\, but I make all of the final decisions about the material.” The latest incarnation of the band made their recorded debut with 2016′s All Empires Fall EP\, and while that provided “a snapshot” of where the band were headed going into The Grand Annihilation\, Hill will never overtly sign post what the Tombs sound presently is or where it might be headed. “The last thing I want to do is remain in one place too long. I want to continually evolve and challenge myself\, and I take a disciplined approach to writing\, setting aside time on a weekly basis to collect ideas. I say collect because I often times feel like the ideas are out there in the ether and I am just channeling them. In a way\, I don’t really know where the band is headed creatively because I feel like I’m following a path that is slowly being revealed to me.” Letting the songs come as and when inspiration hits him is integral to Hill’s process\, and this accounts in part for The Grand Annihilation‘s diversity. The blasting\, scathing yet melodic black metal savagery of opener “Black Sun Horizon” and “Way Of The Storm” are very much built to destroy\, while wielding a poignancy that is undeniable – both of which stand in strong contrast to the uncomfortable post-punk squall of “Underneath” that showcases Hill’s Nick Cave/Ian Curtis-esque singing voice\, while the likes of the throbbing “Saturnalian” and unnerving tribal thunder of “Walk With Me In Nightmares” stand in categories all of their own. In fact\, every track on The Grand Annihilation stands separate from those around it\, yet it is a cohesive collection\, and at no point do the stylistic twists and turns undermine its coherence. “If you’ve been following Tombs\, you probably know to expect the unexpected\, and I always strive to present a full range of emotion on everything with the band’s name on it. That said\, this is a very dark and introspective record that digs deep into the common ideas of mortality\, infinity and cosmic mysteries. I’ve always been fascinated with the dark side and things that remain hidden\, and when I was younger I wrote more about personal feelings\, about emotions and specific situations in my life. As I matured\, I wanted to write about broader themes that more people can relate to and tap into a sort of collective consciousness. The lyrics on the new record are a celebration of freedom through embracing the dark side. Once you realize that you follow the dark path\, the path of the individual\, there is a certain feeling of liberation that accompanies it.“When it came time to track the record\, Hill once again enlisted Erik Rutan\, whose production discography includes seminal releases from Cannibal Corpse\, Soilent Green\, Belphegor and his own Hate Eternal. “‘Savage Gold’ was our first time working with Erik\, who has been a tremendous influence on me in the way I approach guitar playing and production. At the time\, I knew that record was the first step on a path that would see us working together for many years\, and taking what we learned from that record we were able to grow from it going into ‘The Grand Annihilation’.” The record’s rich yet unfussy production ensures every song comes to life as if caught in the moment of its creation\, crackling with energy and emotion and standing them apart from the plethora of bands with overly compressed\, polished – and ultimately muted – additions to their catalogs. But then it’s hard to imagine Tombs sounding anything but real\, and Hill’s ultimate motivation will always underpin this. “Music and rhythm have always been part of human rituals. Ancient people made music and art to connect to something that they felt existed on a higher level\, and I always try to achieve this in that which I create.”

SUMMARY:Tigers Jaw (w/ Hot Flash Heat Wave\, Creeks - Solo)
DESCRIPTION:Byrdhouse Records presents Tigers Jaw w/support Hot Flash Heat Wave & Creeks(solo) on March 29th @No Fun in Troy\, NY! Doors-7PM\, Music-8PM.\nByrdhouse Records presents Tigers Jaw on Sunday March 29th. 2026 at No Fun located at 275 River Street\, Troy\, NY! 18+ (or under with legal guardian) \nDoors-7PM\, Music-8PM \nSupport: Hot Flash Heat Wave \nMore Info About Tigers Jaw: \nDespite our deepest desires\, time only continues to move forward\, slowly and incessantly. We attempt to understand the present through our conceptions of the past\, and we hope to use that understanding to guide the future. These simple chronological divisions offer us a simple way to organize our lives: where we’ve been\, where we are now\, where we hope to be. Despite their connections\, they feel disparate\, always looking at one through the lens of another. On their new record Lost on You\, the band’s seventh full-length\, Tigers Jaw pose a much more holistic idea: we exist in all of these timelines at once. \nFormed in 2005 by high school friends from Scranton\, PA\, Tigers Jaw have long been an important and revered band. They quickly gained attention for their ability to effectively and cooly capture teenage emotions\, with equal parts upbeat angst and mellow moodiness. And now\, two decades later\, the band is still going. Ben Walsh (guitar\, vocals) and Brianna Collins (keys\, vocals)\, alongside the expanded lineup featuring Mark Lebiecki (guitar)\, Colin Gorman (bass)\, and Teddy Roberts (drums)\, continue their legacy into a new era. \nLost on You is a continuation of what we’ve always loved about Tigers Jaw. There’s the powerful and pounding rhythm section\, the great melodic leads that shift from instrument to instrument\, and\, as always\, the interchanging and overlapping vocals. With five years since their last release\, Walsh noted that the band “wanted to feel confident in the material we have and let things progress naturally.” And so they took their time finding what felt right\, even though\, of course\, life continued on all around them. They reunited with producer and engineer Will Yip (Turnstile\, Movements) at his famed Studio 4 in Pennsylvania to capture this moment\, this solid and yet very strange period of middle adulthood where we are supposed to have shaken off the uncertainty of adolescence and yet are still plagued by many of the same problems. \nThe result is a Tigers Jaw record as great as you’d expect. Songs like “Primary Colors” and “Baptized on a Redwood Drive” find the band embracing a driving midtempo similar to alt rock heroes Jimmy Eat World or Weezer\, with other tracks like “Head is Like a Sinking Stone” and “BREEZER” feeling so classic that the best reference is Tigers Jaw themselves. They sing about blades and knives\, anxieties and intentions\, and timeless TJ topics like two worlds and ghosts. \nAnd while this record is decidedly from the present\, it is deeply embedded in their history. There are many moments that would feel just as at home sung along to at the defunct Scranton venue Test Pattern as they would in the huge halls of Philadelphia’s Union Transfer\, a venue probably ten-times as large that they are now able to sell out. This is not surprising. The scene’s present moment owes a lot to Tigers Jaw; their contributions have helped pave the way for this entire world\, and still the group continues on. \nAnd that’s the thing\, Tigers Jaw was the band that wrote those songs before and they still are the band writing these songs now. You can plainly hear it. Tigers Jaw show us the possibility of realizing all versions of ourselves. We are our former\, present\, and future selves in one being\, filled with prescience and past. These songs are portals taking us between different parts of the band’s life and even our own lives\, showing us how we can understand time not as a linear narrative but as something that is all real and knowable at once. They weren’t able to get here without starting somewhere else—somewhere we as fans can instantly recognize and relate to. And while where they are going may still be unknown to us\, we can see traces of it here already. It’s uncertain but true\, something we are constantly grappling with as time continues to inevitably pass. But there is beauty in it if we can accept it\, finding contentment in just attempting to know ourselves. As Collins sings on “Primary Colors\,” “I understand it all now/It’s not supposed to make sense.”

SUMMARY:Stick Men ft. Tony Levin\, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter
DESCRIPTION:Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto\, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades\, bring that tradition to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Stick\, from which the band takes its name. Having bass and guitar strings\, the Chapman Stick functions at times like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his self-designed touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelotto’s drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit\, but a unique electronic setup too\, allowing him to add loops\, samples\, percussion\, and more. \nMembers of STICK MEN have recorded on albums that sold over 100 million records worldwide and all 4 individual members have played collectively in many different projects in the past 5 decades in over 90 countries worldwide. \nTONY LEVIN – Born in Boston\, Tony Levin started out in classical music\, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock\, he has had a notable career\, recording and touring with Peter Gabriel\, John Lennon\, Pink Floyd\, Yes\, Alice Cooper\, Paul Simon\, Seal and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books of photography and poetry. In addition to touring with Stick Men\, he is currently a member of King Crimson (since 1980) and Peter Gabriel Band (since 1977)\, and jazz bands Levin Brothers (with his older brother Pete Levin) and L’Image (with Steve Gadd\, Mike Manieri\, David Spinozza\, Warren Bernhard). Tony Levin is one of the most recorded bass players in the history of music\, appearing on over 1000 albums\, and one of the most iconic and recognizable rock musicians in the past 5 decades. His popular website\, tonylevin.com\, featured as one of the web’s first blogs\, and has over 5 million visits. \nPAT MASTELOTTO – Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it\, and so too has Pat Mastelotto\, a self taught drummer from Northern California\, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming. Pat has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop\, to prog\, to electronica to world music with – among others – Mr. Mister\, XTC\, David Sylvian\, The Rembrandts\, Kimmo Pohjonen\, and for the last 25 years with King Crimson. \nMARKUS REUTER – Markus is a composer\, guitarist\, and producer. Initially trained as a pianist\, he subsequently studied Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft and learned to play the Chapman Stick\, later moving on to the U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released several solo recordings and worked extensively with other musicians. He is one of the core members of the experi-mental band Centrozoon\, is half of the duo Tuner (with Pat Mastelotto) and was also a member of Europa String Choir. Reuter has collaborated with Ian Boddy\, Robert Rich\, No-Man singer Tim Bowness\, and many others\, and he has joined the new Devin Townsend ’s band. His new power trio TRUCE is recording the second album and will be touring worldwide.
