Tonight, if you want to get destroyed by grindcore, Cephalic Carnage is playing at El Corazon (show starts at 8).

They’re one of those heavy-ass bands that’s way into smoking weed—and they’re quite vocal about it. I find that to be kind of dorky, but they rock nonetheless. (There seems to be a genre of it, which I guess I’m way into, although I don’t smoke weed. Once I saw El Dopa, a favorite of mine, and they dedicated songs to weed, were tattooed with pot leaves, and had pot leaves on their hats. Nerds.) Cephalic Carnage have this album called Halls of Amenti that is insanely sludgy, heavy, and epic. It’s the only album of theirs that I own or have heard, so when I saw them last year at the last day of a three-day metal fest in SF, I was pleasantly surprised that they also rock in a faster, metal kind of way.
