“Fortunate Death” is out now ⚔️
The second single from @vesuvian_official ’s forthcoming album is a raucous homage to Julio Cortazar’s story “The Night, Face Up,” celebrating happiness in death on an Aztec altar.
RIYL: Heavy riffs, ritual sacrifice, the joy of knowing your blood will sow the summer crops.
Catching Vesuvian as they tour on their excellent, upcoming new album. Come clock all the references. Tuxis Giant return for a different kind of set to open & local francophile punks, MFG, clôturera la soirée.

Ten days of “Cassandra (The Ox is on My Tongue)” and counting. The first single off our new record coming May 29th via @worrybeadrecs
I wrote the lyrics to this song about Cassandra of Greek drama and myth. Specifically, the song reframes the Aeschylus play Agamemnon from her perspective. I was heavily influenced by Seamus Heaney’s poem “The Mycenae Lookout” which ultimately provided a blueprint for the rest of the album.
All of the songs on this record take characters from (mostly) Greek drama and myth, and reframe or recontextualize them in one way or another. It’s been a lot of fun writing this way.
Mostly though, I love this song because I get to yell HIT IT before @gr3atr3s3t plays a sick guitar solo. As with all the songs on the album, we wrote this thing together as a band.
