Receiving the Evcharist: Incite and Birdsong

Receiving the Evcharist 2018

Aah, spring is here.  Maybe.  Hard to tell with the off and on snow we’re having, but at least that looks like it’s (almost) behind us now.  The changing of the seasons always brings about a change in my musical and drink tastes, and what better way to express both of those than another hostile takeover of this column?  Receiving the Evcharist is our weekly feature where we pair choice albums with our favorite libations.  Drink from the cup of heresy.  This week’s offering: Incite’s Wake Up Dead and Temperance Brewing Company’s Birdsong.

CANTO: Cavernlight, Misery Index, Incite, and More

As of today, long run season is officially upon us again.

  • We’ll lead off with Cavernlight, and their powerful new track. “The Ashes of Everything I’ve Failed to Be” is streaming over at Brooklyn Vegan. That, of course, it taken from their sophomore full-length, As I Cast Ruin Upon the Lens That Reveals My Every Flaw, which drops on May 13th through Translation Loss.
  • Incite revealed a new visualizer for “War Soup”, which features Max Cavalera. Give it a watch here. Wake Up Dead drops on April 8th through Atomic Fire.
  • Alexisonfire have an absolutely massive run of shows upcoming in 2022. Spreading from May until October, they cover most of United States, with appearances at a number of major festivals as well. Get all the dates and ticket information here.
  • Apparently there are quite a few videos to catch up on today, and the next one comes from Kingdom Collapse. Here’s the clip for “Save Me From Myself”, the new single that’s available everywhere now.
  • And Monday will end with some new Misery Index. I guess technically Friday ended with new Misery Index… but I wasn’t around to share it, so obviously that didn’t count. Anyway, here’s “The Eaters and the Eaten”. That’s the latest from Complete Control, which drops on May 13th through Century Media.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
