EXPERIMENTAL ARTISTS INTEPRET HEAVY METAL MUSIC

Did you know that if you play the intro to Slayer’s “Hell Awaits” backwards it says, “Join us, join us!” It’s true!

So….. Join us on Saturday, March 14 as we bring back Strange Metal Night to the Black Cat Bar!

The premise is simple! Experimental musicians will interpret heavy metal music as they see it.

This year’s hellish artists are as follows!

Alia Jyawook (Scary Pierre, Unamenable Strings, Street Creep San Diego)

This performance explores the visceral connection between Slayer and the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras. Slayer’s use of harmonic minor and Phrygian modes often parallels with Bach’s tension and release. Listen for the “Devil’s Interval” during this Ludwig Van Hanneman, through-composed piece.

Amy Cimini (Necking, author of Wild Sound)

Witness echoes and delays scrambling the numbers of the beast. Amy is sent with wrath, but arrives with good friends and wild technologies, despondent but determined to put us on insurgent ground. Liberation, expectation and smoldering strings reckon the hellish vortex of the endless 1980s.
