Staying up late with Nachzehrer and 212

By JANSSEN MCCORMICK | August 2, 2012

"December Wolves is how we got 212," says Ross. "We were sharing the old Denby [Road] space with them and Hirudinea." It's also where Deathgod Messiah got their start: "I was working as a mechanic, shoplifting and taking my lunch breaks in 212," says Slarcus, "and Ninkaszi and Kinslayer [of Panzerbastard] needed a bassist for their primitive black metal project." Hräsvelg notes the social ties of 212, "be it writing music or drinking in the practice space. When you are around people you respect as musicians you tend to end up writing music together. I think that's where the stylistic differences come into play. . . . It may not always come to fruition but it's never boring."

CONVERGE GO BACK TO BASICS | October 02, 2012
For most Bostonians of a certain age, Converge's Jane Doe (2001) is always going to be "that" record. But sentimentality aside, the metal/hardcore quartet's latest, All We Love We Leave Behind — out Tuesday on Epitaph — bangs right up against it.

STAYING UP LATE WITH NACHZEHRER AND 212 | August 02, 2012
The physical 212: an Allston room where two drum kits sit opposite each other in malign aspect, occult graffiti covers the walls, empties of every variety of shit beer cover the floor, and a stench of rot permeates everything.

Torture Chain have had black metal locked down with an ultra raw punkish aesthetic over three demos for the past four years.

DOOMRIDERS CONTINUE THEIR FORWARD MARCH | October 13, 2011
It's hard to begrudge Doomriders' front man Nate Newton when he stops in the midst of rattling off the band's tours with the likes of Red Sparowes, Clutch, and Disfear, among others, in the two years since the release of Darkness Come Alive off Salem-based Deathwish Inc.

TAMPA RE-EMERGING AS A DEATH-METAL HOTBED | August 24, 2011
