Half Week Hard Music: Best of 2009 Edition

I decided to do this post featuring bands from our best of picks.

Iron Age - Dispossessed


Mastodon - The Czar


The Black Dahlia Murder - Christ Deformed


Narrows - Chambered


Between The Buried And Me - Swim to the Moon



I know this song isn't off of The Chappell Show Vol. 2 but it was made by one of Single Second's biggest supporters so it had to go up.
Rasheed Chappell x When Giants Meet - The Intro

Best Album of 2009: Trevor

This year I am not going to make a list of my top 10 or even 5, I am just going to make random posts about my top 1. That's right only the best of the best, the best in my eyes anyways, I know a lot of people won't agree. Oh well.

Here is the first one, top CD/Album of 2009.



Mastodon: Crack The Skye


This album might be one of the greatest albums I have ever heard, I'm not kidding. Collectively, from my iPod, Work Computer, Home Computer and the CD, I guarantee you I have listened to this full album at least 200 times. There are days at work where I just have this on repeat, and its all I hear all day. I have listened to it a lot! and will continue to listen to it.

If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor, go buy it, don't download it.


(runners up are The Black Dahlia Murder: Deflorate, and Between The Buried and Me: The Great Misdirect)

Half Week Hardcore

First of all this week we'll pay tribute to Mastodon's newest album, Crack They Skye, that released yesterday. It's not hardcore but it fucking rips.


Since I've been doing a bit of writing about Canadian Hip Hop, here' some Canadian Hardcore for you.
Cancerbats - Deathsmarch


Comeback Kid - Wake The Dead


SNFU - Don't Have The Cow


Dayglo Abortions - Proud To Be A Canadian

Mastodon - Crack The Skye

Full album streaming now at their myspace.

Get the fuck into it!

Mastodon - Divinations

UPDATE: The full song is now on their MySpace. Check it out.


Mastodon has finally posted a proper preview from "Divinations", off of their upcoming record "Crack The Skye". Personally, I'm incredibly excited for this to come out. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't find out about the limited edition Shirt/CD bundle (shown above) until today and it has officially sold out. The record is set for release on March 24, I'll be at the CD Plus on my lunch break forsure.

Check out the clip of the song at their official site.
