The Blackened Music Series with Shrinebuilder + Rwake + Liturgy

Description
See also Fri 13 for the Blackened Music Series and Liturgy. Think of Shrinebuilder as the underground equivalent of Them Crooked Vultures. Like that supergroup, this new quartet, whose members have done time in esteemed heavy outfits such as Neurosis, Melvins, Sleep and Saint Vitus, hews closely to its impeccable pedigree. Predictably, Shrinebuilder’s self-titled debut hinges on Sabbath-exalting riffs and dire bellowing from twin vocalist-guitarists Scott “Wino” Weinrich and Scott Kelly. The album feels like by-the-numbers doom, but several spacey psych interludes indicate that the band could eventually learn to speak in its own mystical tongue.
