Eight Gigs: Nocturnal Blood
Sat., Aug. 8, Starlite Lounge, $8
Wretched Earth Productions, otherwise known as Matt Jensen and Rena Smith, are at it again bringing the finest local, regional, national and international underground metal. Ghastly Apparition is the mastermind of Inland Empire's Nocturnal Blood, who also plays all the instruments himself on Devastated Graves—The Morbid Celebration (2010), his only full-length to date. If you're into old-school black metal like Beherit, Demoncy or Hellhammer, songs like “Death Calls” and “Chaos Wrath” are quality pieces of furious songwriting. Kiss the bloody goat. 1527 21st Street, www.facebook.com/events/
