In one of the most impressive concepts for a visual music experience, Arcade Fire have teamed up with Chris Milk for the interactive music video to ‘We Used To Wait‘, entitled The Wilderness Downtown.
The experiment does not work in Firefox but in Chrome or Safari creates a personalised music video experience as you tour through your old neighbourhood (or whatever area you choose) through a myriad of browser windows while that incredible song plays. It really is something special that should be experienced by all those with a strong internet connection.
Head here for the making of and click the image below to head to the official Wilderness Downtown website.
Slayer will be releasing all ten of their American Recordings albums as a limited edition box set on October 11th.
The Vinyl Conflict will feature Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons In The Abyss, the double-record Live Decade of Aggression, Divine Intervention, Undisputed Attitude, God Hates Us All, Christ Illusion, and World Painted Blood. All ten albums have been re-mastered from the original analog master tapes and perss onto vinyl with lacquers cut several times to make sure the highest sound quality has been achieved.
Each vinyl disc will come in a clear inner sleeve to preserve the record, put into litho-wrapped jackets and then boxed in a hardcover slipcase. The original inner sleeve artwork for all the albums will also be included as 12 x 12 inserts.
You can pre-order yours now here.
Architects will be releasing their new digital single Day In Day Out on September 27th and have announced some tour dates.

30.09 – Leeds – Cockpit
01.10 – Birmingham – O2 Academy 2

You can check out the video for their track Scared to Death below. Hoods and Baseball Bats galore. Avit Bats!
It’s that time of the year again when we don our wellies and pretend we don’t care about getting muddy, all in the name of music. Well, if you’re going down to either Reading or Leeds, we thought it’d be nice if you had the set times so you can plan out who is where and when.
So, below is the list, get checking and don’t forget to look at our preview of who we reckon will kill it this weekend!

In ‘Symptoms and Cures’, Comeback Kid have written what is arguably their best work to date. Vocalist (previously guitarist) Andrew Neufeld has really come into his own as the voice of the band. The band’s last record ‘Broadcasting…’ was a bold effort that strayed away from the straight-up old-school hardcore style of the band’s first albums and saw the band adopt a more epic sound with a thicker texture and depth. With ‘Symptoms and Cures’, Comeback Kid have retained that forward-thinking sound but have incorporated a much rawer, old-school sound more akin to their early work. The resulting record is something that fans of all stages of CBK’s career should be able to get on board with. And it should gain them some new fans along the way.
We caught up with Neufeld for a quick update on the new album and the various processes behind it.
Interview: Winegums
Live Photos: Eric Levin
When did you start writing the new record?
Maybe like a year ago. But it’s like a lot of times throughout the last few years we’ve had ideas… Sometimes you just have ideas that you just store away and think ‘I’ll have that for the future. I have that in my back pocket.’ You know?
Do you think you’ve had some ideas that have been forgotten about along the way?
Definitely. And what I do a lot of the time is if I just have some random idea I’ll sing it into the voice recorder of my phone. And I have a few phones because I travel a lot and they get lost sometimes so there’s probably some awesome Comeback Kid ideas that are just lost in space somewhere.
Are there any times you listen back to the snippets and you can’t remember what the fuck you were thinking?
Sometimes. Usually when I get stoned though. But that’s also usually when the best ideas come up (laughs)!
And how and when did you hook up with producer Eric Ratz?
Um we’ve been talking to him for a while. We wanted to record in Canada because we haven’t done that with Comeback Kid since the first record. So we hooked up with this guy Eric Ratz and his partner Kenny Long and they’d just done the new Cancer Bats and we’d met them through those guys. They’ve done some other cool stuff up here in Canada and we thought we’d just give it a shot! It went super rad. It’s always nice when you’re in the studio and really feel comfortable with the guys you’re working with. And you can kind of vibe a little bit with them. Sometimes when you have bigger names or whatever involved it’s kind of like you’re paying for that name and sometimes the process isn’t an enjoyable one. But it was really important for us to just vibe with the guys. We really loved working with Bill Stevenson when we did our last couple of records but we just kind of wanted a change you know?
What was the reason behind the name of the album ‘Symptoms and Cures’?
That’s just a lyric from one of the songs. The title track. The song just deals with how sometimes living in a transient lifestyle and moving around all the time and going through borders all the time, you just get a sense of the walls pushing in around you at times and security tightening up and just a lot of falsities that the powers of be like to force upon us. The lyric that it comes from is me talking about the positive mindset in the face of all this. And I’d hope that as we go on in this life we have a better future and people come together with a positive attitude. With a PMA, you know?! (chuckles a little) The lyrics are just about how the world’s really focused on and saturated with people telling us what we’re supposed to be afraid of and sometimes people jump onto those fears. And that’s why we have an album cover with a guy kind of jumping headfirst in to the unknown because that’s what we do sometimes and what a lot of people do without always knowing the facts. You know?
So how do you think the new songs are going to translate live and fit into the set?
Well we’ve only played one new song live so far and we’re going to be rehearsing over the summer a little bit. Getting it all ready. All the songs are more straight-up and up the live alley and we have a lot of really harder songs that are going to be fun to play – straight-up hardcore songs. And then some kind of like red-cup-with-beer-spilling-over-anthem-type-songs.
Maybe you’ll need a little help on those gang vocals when playing live?
Everyone has to sing. I’ve got to make sure all of the band are singing! Get Kyle (the drummer) a headset or something like that…
Surfing The Void
(Polydor)
klaxons.net
The wait for the follow-up of Myths Of The Near Future, even for those not interested in the second step in the on-going journey through sound and space for London’s 2007 hot-topic Klaxons, was made all the more lengthy by talks of a radical shift in sound. For those of you expecting another series of hang tens on the new-rave wave can leave those hopes at the door now, go home and listen to the first album and forget Klaxons exist in another context. Those that will be disappointed with the new sound (and those people WILL be disappointed) are also victim to being ignorant towards the natural progression all band should make. From beginning to end, Surfing The Void is an album that – amazing spacecat artwork aside – oozes maturity, a refreshing lack of arrogance but maintains the meteor crashes of personality and that same childlike exploration that made their first demos so special.
Though the sense of humour is lost, those that withstand the galactic waves of intentionally messy guitar tapestries, soaring harmonies and good old fashioned noise will be greatly rewarded. The intergalactic pussy on the front guards a shiny disc that’s vacuum packed with curious Midnight Juggernauts-inspired electro-space-rock. There aren’t any laughs here, but if we accept Gravity’s Rainbow and Atlantis To Interzone both have their own cemented purpose in the past and accept the fluid songwriting that’s moulded into Echoes, Flashover and the title track then you’ll be left with a warm collection of music that may not be groundbreaking, but why break ground when you can surf the void and float through the motherfucking universe?
Bellend Sebastian
Unfairly tagged as ‘hipster’ metal by those that consider themselves to be ‘real’ metal, Texan metal warriors The Sword may be cooler than most metal bands but they are without doubt 100% genuine and irony free heavy fucking metal.
Back with a new album – ‘Warp Riders’ through Kemado Records – The Sword have created a sci-fi heavy metal concept album that recounts the saga of Ereth the archer, banished from his tribe on the planet Acheron, which is scorched on one side by the heat of three suns and the landscape for a battle between pure good and evil. The frankly bewildering story is back up by some of the best Metal riffs of all time. And that’s The Sword all over. A constant barrage of bulldozer riffs that threaten to flatten you at any point. Metal Hammer magazine were moved to state recently that The Sword ‘shit planetoid-size riffs with ease’, which sums it up better than I could. The Sword are the real deal. Start polishing yours now.
You can see our interview filmed by Alan Christensen with the band about their new album ‘Warp Riders‘ below back stage at The Barfly Club in Camden in July this summer, but be sure to make note of the UK live dates below and make plans to see them, you won’t be disappointed.
