updates on Scott Kelly, Wino and Steve Von Till collaboration

A press release explains that all three men have performed Van Zandt throughout the years, either solo or together, and their collective love for the late singer-songwriter will be displayed on the aptly titled Songs of Townes Van Zandt. The nine-song set arrives June 12 through Neurot/My Proud Mountain. The performers tackle three songs each on the collection, described as a great homage to Van Zandt's "broken-hearted love songs and gloom-ridden tales."

Ufomammut's Empireum video

The opening song Empireum off of Ufomammut's first part of the saga Oro entitled Oro: Opus Primum which originally surfaced at The Obelisk is pretty much what you expect from the band- unsettling, disrupting and sickening- all in a good sense. The video is about 14 minutes of unnerving imageries psychedelic to the core. The song Empireum indicates what's in store for the rest of the album as well as the follow up Oro: Opus Alter. Watching the whole video unfolding gives a different sort of experience along with the psyched out notes for which they are known.

Ufomammut's Oro: Opus Primum comes out April 13 on Neurot Recordings
