Some Heretic Sect Manifesto - 2021 Update

Welcome To Some Heretic Sect.

 

SHS exists to promote independent artists, designers, and musicians in the greater Boston scene

SHS does not exist for personal profit - we will grow together

SHS is interested in putting on events or assisting promoters

SHS is interested in collaboration with musicians for the purposes of forming a band or one-off projects

SHS is interested in the production of physical media

The mainstream/non-local content exists here to help generate interest & bring in other kindred spirits within the subcultures (Electronic/Goth/Punk/HC/Metal) we cover, and will decrease as our audience grows

We will be moving to https://somehereticsect.com when our new site launches

We have just opened an Instagram @somehereticsect and a new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4IJyfaXh4rEjlPbmSFdaQ

Ilsa Announces New Member - Domenic Romeo of A389 Records!

Per ILSA's Facebook page:

OKAY! Big announcement time! As I previously posted, Garrett is leaving Ilsa. I also hinted that we would be getting a flashy young guitarist to replace him. Well, I lied. He's not young, he's an old fart like me! Our new guitar player is none other than Domenic Romeo, head of A389 records and former axe slinger for Pulling Teeth! We are very excited to start writing and playing with Dom! In case anyone was worried, We are still playing DeathFest! That, along with our dates in New Haven, Montreal, and Toronto will be Garrett's last shows with us! So come out and say goodbye to Garrett, and help us usher in a new era of ILSA with Dom!

Left For Dead recently reunited for the second time since the 90's, and they recently put out a reissue through A389 Recordings.

Jon Theodore To Be On The New Queens Of The Stone Age

Jon Theodore, who was behind the kit on The Mars Volta's debut full-length "De-Loused In The Comatorium" will be on the new Queens of The Stone Age record. If you are a drummer or just a fan of stellar, genius level drum work, this is incredible news. I can't wait to hear this. I haven't heard him play since that short lived project he did with Zach De La Rocha, called One Day As A Lion.
