Toronto’s Shahman will be in Kalamazoo tomorrow night to unleash a monolithic sonic assault on the Casa Mona basement. This two-piece band combines diverging influences of extremely heavy and dark music into something unexpected – a fierce live sound greater and louder than the sum of its parts that can jump from a whisper to a deafening roar in an instant.
Their latest release, Demise of a Body, is a sprawling 25-minute meditation on the loss of a loved one that was captured from one continuous live performance. Brooding, raw, and unabashedly emotional, this release sees the band exploring doom and shoegaze territory, and moving even further away from the screamo/punk moments that were more prevalent on their last release, Sounds That Look Like Us.
Joining Shahman for this show will be local experimental, improv noise-rockers Forget the Times and the strangest, spookiest, surf rock band around, the Uncanny.
