We Say...
A black metal project out of San Francisco and the brainchild of one Wrest, aka Jef Whitehead, who handles all the instruments and most of the vocals — Lurker of Chalice eschews the more aggressive aspects of the genre in favor of more ambient, goth-y flavors. On Lurker’s 2005 debut (recently reissued by Southern Lord), Wrest whips up tornados of distortion and angst — particularly on “Piercing Where They Might” and “Vortex Chalice.” But it’s the trippy, oppressively claustrophobic tracks like “Paramnesia,” “This Blood Falls as Mortal Part III” and “Fastened to the Five Points” that really set Lurker apart from the rest of the corpse paint brigade.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
