It was an insanely heavy way to start a nice night of music and movies: Bodies tossed across train tracks, horsemen of the apocalypse streaking through snowy nowheres, and local metalheads Slashpine shredding slow and deep into doom-y sonic territory.
A couple days before the show, I asked Roofless Rex boss and Cinema Sounds mastermind Matt Preira about Slashpine. He tried to describe the band for me, saying: “They’re an up-and-coming experimental black metal group that tickles the punks pink.” But, um, after seeing Slashpine tear their silent clip to shreds, suck the crowd’s collective soul, then dissolve into shadows … I’m 87 percent sure Matt actually meant “They’re an up-and-coming force of colossal destruction that scares the world retarded.”
Honestly, I was extremely surprised people weren’t shitting their popcorn.
