Sounds LikeNew Yorker event listings, June 1, 2009 Cake Shop, May 30 The Philadelphia power trio Stinking Lizaveta comes to town at the tail end of a month long tour celebrating the release of an intense new record, "Sacrifice and Bliss." The band, which takes its name from a mute character in Dostoyeveky's "The Brothers Karamazov," plays heavy instrumental rock that meshes complicated and precise prog-rock passages, gloomy riffs in the Black Sabbath vein, and occasional free-jazz blowouts. Led by the melodic guitar playing of Yanni Papadopoulos and backed by a frenetic rhythm section made up of Papadopoulos's brother Alexi, on bass, and the drumer Cheshire Agusta, the group has been a linchpin in the vibrant West Philly underground since its founding, fifteen years ago. They are uncompromising in the best sense of the word.

ROCK TRIO STILL BANGING HEADS TOGETHER: Stinking Liz Back with Sixth Disc

One of America's most durable and powerful rock bands is back with its sixth album. Stinking Lizaveta's "Sacrifice and Bliss" is the latest from the instrumental trio specializing in what one reviewer calls "insane improvisations, relentless rhythms and volumes of groove." If you're tired of the stale sludge that passes for modern metal, the sparkling crunch of Stinking Liz's latest will restore your faith in rock and roll.

"How do we tell stories with out words?" asks Stinking Liz drummer Cheshire Agusta. "Compelling melody. Hypnotizing rhythm. Passion and detail." This is the mission underlying "Sacrifice and Bliss," which features ten original tunes, including " A Day Without a Murder", which first employs a floating 10 to disorient, then proceeds to thrash rock from a stone, and "The Man Needs Your Pain", a wide swinging ballad that leaves plenty of space for all three players to weigh in.

Just as all great jazz ensembles carry the time without any one musician stating it, Stinking Liz carries the narrative between them. And as everyone knows, the deepest and ultimately most satisfying story is the unvarnished truth - joy, struggle, head banging bliss. There is work and there is love: "Sacrifice and Bliss." That's how Stinking Liz tells it.

The LA Times has hailed the veteran rockers as "both polished and unruly," and "Sacrifice and Bliss" excels on both counts with crisp production, massive beats, and dazzling fretwork. Like crazed Russian composer Alexander Scriabin artfully deconstructing and reconstructing melody, guitarist Yanni Papadopoulos' squealing, singing lines soar above brother Alexi's churning electric upright bass. Drummer Agusta holds it all together with a pounding that's one part Elvin Jones and another part John Bonham. Mixed with the masterful production of Sanford Parker (Pelican, Rwake, Nachtmystium), "Sacrifice and Bliss" shows a heavy rock trio at its absolute best.

Born in the basements of West Philadelphia and tempered by fifteen years of American and European tours, Stinking Liz has built a reputation as one of progressive metal's most unique and devastating live acts. "Sacrifice and Bliss" captures that power. Real rock and roll is not a video game. Real rock and roll is not the latest pass at this year's formula. Real rock and roll is Stinking Lizaveta.

I saw you guys a few years ago at the Way Out club in St.Louis and you were probably the most talented band I've seen live musically speaking. I mean some people write songs, and some people tell stories and do all that, but you guys just play great music... period. Really sorry I missed this go round and will go hunting for the new album soon with my next available 15 bucks or so. Best Wishes Comrades and continued success living the dream!

For the last few weeks i been sending you guys stories, now we have updated to jokes and confessionss so here goes.

my sister made my one night stand a pot of coffee. When my sister asked the girl whether she wanted cream or sugar, the girl looked at me and said: "well, obviously I'm not picky." FWM

I knowingly gave my gf genital herpes. I found out I was sick when I first met her. I thought she was so hot, and liked her way to much and didn't want to take the risk of her telling me to get lost.. We've been together for 2 yrs. She thinks she got it from her ex, and gave it to me.

Yo momma so stupid she took a ruler to bed with her to see how long she slept. Joke
