VICE’s Noisey reps Diamond Terrifier HARD, Preview New <>T Tape SHRINE FLU

You may know Sam Hillmer as the bearded saxophonist for the famed downtown avant-weird chamber punks Zs. He’s also the director of Representing NYC, a not-for-profit music series that pairs young Brooklyn hip-hop artists with indie luminaries like Excepter’s Zebrablood, Mr. Lif, and Prefuse 73.

Hillmer’s been kicking around a new solo project called Diamond Terrifier, named for the nine-faced, thirty-four-handed, sixteen-legged Buddhist deity Vajrabhairava. He’s working on a late-year LP for Northern Spy Records, but this March he’s dropping a cassette on Words+Dreams. It’s a 22-minute droned-out sax-and-outmoded-electronics masterpiece. According to Hillmer, “SHRINE FLU is the part of the Venn diagram representing our collective psyche where spiritual paranoia & materialism overlap with political and economic paranoia and materialism.” Good shit.

We’ve got an exclusive stream of the title track below, and if you’re in NYC you can catch Hillmer’s PRACTICE! series at Zeubulon on January 31, a free show featuring Parts & Labor’s Dan Friel, Rat Attack, and GDFX, the electronic psych project from the virtuosic ex-Liturgy drummer Greg Fox. I went last week and it was off the chain.

Alcest Reviewed on The Quietus:

When Alcest’s debut LP Souvenirs d’un Autre Monde dropped in 2007, no one in the metal world had heard anything quite like it. Neige, then the French band’s only member, had the audacity to stand with one foot firmly in the perceived hipster mecca of shoegaze and the other somewhere on the hillside from the cover of Burzum’s Filosofem. The album sent shockwaves through its ostensible genre that culminated in the inane (and still active) debate over what it means to be black metal and whether positivist philosophy and tremolo picking can peaceably coexist.

Two albums and five years later, Alcest are a fixture in the international black metal scene. Neige, full-time drummer Winterhalter, and session members Zero and Fursy Teyssier have toured the world twice and are about to embark on a third trip. 2009’s Écailles de Lune was heralded as a crossover masterpiece, beardy dudes bring their non-hesher girlfriends to Alcest shows, members of the corpse-painting community remain outraged, and all is as it is meant to be. The freshness that initially made Neige’s most personal project relevant has all dried up. The release of Les Voyages de L’Âme forces us to decide if Alcest music is good even when they’re no longer interesting.

“Putting more rock energy into a single performance than a good proportion of bands do into a career’s worth of shows…” - TERRORIZER

After three solid albums and two European tours with the legends in “Fu Manchu” it is time for the next step in Truckfighters way to become “big”. 2012 will be the year when TF broadens their perspective and enter the widescreen for real.
Yes, Truckfighters from Örebro (SWE) is a band most people within the alternative rock genre – fuzzrock have heard about, all over the world. As the rumour goes TF is probably the best band in the world.
Live is the prime element where Truckfighters fully bloom. The three piece has a raw energy and they explode transferring their power to the audience. Now closing in on 300 live gigs all over Europe the time has come to the USA.

The New Yorker: GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN:

DIAMOND TERRIFIER AND MIVOS QUARTET

Jan. 18: Sam Hillmer, who is the saxophonist for the downtown avant-chamber group Zs, also leads Diamond Terrifier, a sax-and-electronics project named for Vajrabhairava, an irate Buddhist deity with nine faces, thirty-four hands, and sixteen legs. The group’s first album, comprising its long-form, drone-oriented songs, will be produced by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor and released through Northern Spy Records this September. Hillmer and company open for the MIVOS Quartet, which premières a string quartet by Patrick Higgins. The piece, based on Proust’s reflections on memory and recollection, marks Higgins’s début as a classical composer; he is more well known as a gifted guitarist at home on the more brutal, punky fringes of the prog-rock community.
