It was a dark, chilly, and deviant night not too long ago ( oh, I would say about 4 years ago) that I hopped on the NJ Transit bus headed to central Philadelphia is high hopes that Relapse Records would have the new Mastodon-Blood mountain album ready for my purchase. They did, and it was one of 100 or so prints that came in the red and blue swirl combo. Score. I could tell the guy behind the counter was apprehensive to sale it after we took a quick glance knowing that it was quite possibly the coolest fucking thing within arms reach between him and I. I was only looking to maybe get lucky with a clear or full red one. After talking for awhile, I decided to take a look around and see if anything would catch my eye in the roughly 30 minutes I had left before I had to meet a good friend (at the time) in West Philly to catch a show at the First Unitarian church.
As I broke away from looking at the time on my cell phone, I decided to look at a few more albums and see if I could find the new Saviours while I still had the time. Sitting right above the S-Z section of the Cd's left of the check out counter were a few Dvds. One was the Relapse Contamination tour 2003 Dvd which I already had and next to it was what made my eyes widen and produce a shitty grin. It was Neurosis' full length album ' A Sun That Never Sets' on dvd. Personally, this thing is a masterpiece. I say that because of how powerful the album was in itself. The visuals are punishing in how you can easily get lost in them and the audio turned out great on surround sound. When I first watched it, I chose to plug my headset into the receiver and blast away. Good decision that was! To this day I pull it out once ever few months and watch it all the way through with no intended interruptions.
And....... Happy (Early) Birthday to my wife Amy!
