Our thanks to everyone who came out to support the show. It was great to see so many friends there, and so many new faces, too! Thanks to Alison for joining us, during such a busy time! Thanks to Locrian for being a part of the night. Thanks to Pete and The Empty Bottle, for hosting this event. Thanks to Carmelo for taking and sharing these striking photos! This was our longest set, thus far... four songs... clocking in at a bit under 57-minutes. The great enthusiasm from the crowd really spurred us along... no doubt about that...

Step into a Crystal World

This week's Monday night free show at the Empty Bottle (1035 N. Western) is chock-a-block with witchy endeavors. In support of their new double CD, The Crystal World (Utech Records), Locrian perform a set of their increasingly idiosyncratic weaving of metal, drone, noise, kraut, and minimal synth, and also debut a video program for the album's release. Once a band that seemed to subsist on split cassettes, Locrian now traffics almost entirely in definitive statements -- their last four records, including Rhetoric of Surfaces, Drenched Lands, Rain of Ashes, and Territories, all staked claim in a massive uncharted territory, and the new double CD will no doubt dominate the icy northern regions.

Meanwhile, long-running metal/goth/industrial project Anatomy of Habit, though well-rehearsed and playing several powerful shows around town, have yet to release anything to prove their power to people unable to travel to the Midwest. Their long, dirge-y songs would be happily lodged for months at a time in the home stereo system of any doom/metal fanatic.

Cellist Helen Money casts a similar iron-gaze into the void, her multi-voiced cello piercing like a lead guitar or grinding like a rhythm backhoe.

9 p.m., and FREE.

Time Out on 11/29

From Time Out Chicago

Helen Money, the nom de string of cellist Alison Chesley, cranks her instrument through a guitar amp and pedals for a thick, heavy and entirely eerie instrumental sound. Anatomy of Habit and Locrian fulfill your quirk quota, the former with punishing doom-gaze and the latter with mindfuck drone jams—two habits they hope you won't wanna quit.
