The ten best concerts this weekend: Nov. 23-25
3. VIMANA @ CERVANTES' MASTERPIECE BALLROOM | SUN, 11/25/12
Cephalic Carnage, Vale of Pnath, To Be Eaten, Swashbuckle and Rainbowdragoneyes -- these are all names that anyone paying attention to the better end of death metal and grind in Denver should recognize immediately. Some of the guys from those bands created a new band called Collapse, an outfit that demonstrated in no uncertain terms how you could breathe a little life into extreme music without merely being louder and engaging in superficial mechanical proficiency on your instruments. The band, now known as Vimana, weaves together a burst of sounds that warp around each other in seething rhythms so that you sometimes think they must be using electronic elements somewhere in the mix, but they're not. If Derrick Jensen's Endgame could have official music, it might sound like this. (Cephalic Carnage, Iconocaust, Tree of Woe, Silencer, Vimana, Despise the Sun, Fields of Elysium, Impaled Offering and Harvest The Murdered are also slated to appear on this Harvest Fest bill.)
