Fu***ng amazing night

Another amazing night on the Mexi-Canadian Tour!

The amazing family our has grown into;

becoming a staple quickly to the scene with their deep and heavy jams.

killing it on their comeback run of shows with the vintage rock n roll heavy blues bangers.

holding down the scene harder than anyone with the heavy occult fuzzy tones.

showing doom is here to stay, blow up, and expand into the largest the scene has seen.

Fuzzdog, our good friend, is always happy to help. .heyerdahl helping out with the board while now plays with The Electric Cactus

Thanks to everyone for keeping it real and fuzzed as f**k.

Good luck on the rest of the tour guys!

Reposted from "Cloaked in red light, the Hamilton headliners plunged us into their relentless pummeling of wall-of-sound death doom. Vocalist Erik Thorkildsen’s bellowing screams shook the walls as dual buzzsaw guitars sustained a slow, abyssal drone. Sweat could be seen dripping down the bass as it kept rhythm with the machine-like force of the drums.

With not a still head in the room, Absorb had no need to spur mosh pits as their sound itself commanded them all on its own: a badge they have earned after being a band for almost ten years. The crowd churned into action, at times enveloping one of the guitarists while fans bent to headbang over the pedalboard in his absence as if in worship to the tone.

The ending of each song was met with devoted applause and raised fists, everyone eager to show their support of songs old and new. During such a pause, Loversteeth vocalist Brandon McCabe commented that Absorb’s performance sounded like “What it’s like to split an atom. It’s crushing.”

Absorb showed off their musical endurance by closing with the ten-minute album title track “Rot”. Thorkildsen laughed in an interview after the show, explaining, “Every time we write a new song, Jay, the bass player says, ‘This needs to be longer and slower.’” He credited the Denver doom band Primitive Man as an influence of their affinity for long song lengths.

When asked how he felt the show went, Thorkildsen, who joined the band a year and a half ago, shared that it was a “solid representation of everything that we worked on for this album and I feel great about it.” He revealed that Absorb is currently working on another EP as a follow-up to ROT and that the band aims to continue releasing new material regularly.

Thanks to Megan from Met Radio for coming out to the Absorb album release show for ROT. Check out the link in our story to read this killer review she wrote up, it was truly the sweatiest night of the summer 🥵

Another huge round of applause for the local support from and and especially to for covering sound and lighting

Tonight's Mix inspiration comes from Steve Albini from the record In Uturo by Nirvana, specifically Tourette's.

There's actually some interesting history in creating this record and in fact caused a lot of issues with the band/label/engineer.

Another sick reference was Blind Youth Industrial Park by

Keep ears peeled for releases this summer!

A rats nest of cables

Can't believe it took me this long to own a Rat pedal but I recently took a trade for this guy to help pay for the value of some production work.

You can see what work that is coming later this year too

8 tracks by of sweet, sweet spaced out rockin' doom coming out, June 10. Album release show that night with

Tape release from friends in and then coming through with Vinyl shortly after!

Quad-tracked Guitars with amounts of fuzz unheard of, tri-tracked bass. Randi's foot of a thousand pounds on that kick drum. Running through Analogue ISA 110 preamps, adds up to a pretty massive sounding record. There's even some stereo chorus on drums in one of the tracks; on the overheads first Chorus and then whole drum bus for final Chorus and climax. Looping feedback from delays, and modulating Kris vocals through wormholes to get his **k right in your head.

Pedal boards! I want to see what people use in their setup, big or small.

Got a trusty tuner going into my Wah.
Had to grab a big m**f after working with and feeling how fuzz melts your face.

The Warzy drive by Shark is so nasty and versitile I might make a video on it. Decimator for obvious reasons going into my Dual Rec.

I got the acoustic sim to smoothen out the cleans on the dual rec as I felt them too pushy and it has reverb. Chorus and Phaser by going into my FX Loop for max wetness 💦

I showed mine now lets see yours!

It's coming people, you have been warned and now lets hope you're prepped. Probably one of my favourite songs to work on with all the layers in vocals and the energy between verses and chorus. Super stoked this was chosen as AAWKS first single.

Get ready to wrap your mind around the thick tone and cosmic riffs of SPACE CITY.

is destined to create psychedelic ripples in the fabric of space time with this release and will keep you hooked until the album is released. Stay tuned for more!

Going to feature some of gear on here that was used on their recordings.

We have ourselves a classic sunburst jazz fender bass. Had to plugged into an Ampeg BA210 amp, mic'd it up twice and had third DI recorded through the amps direct XLR output.
