Heading to New Plymouth for Electricarna; a car show featuring only clean vehicles! Oddly, this EV show is in a region known for drilling oil and in a city with a council that hates electric vehicles. For years the New Plymouth District Council worked tirelessly to halt new DC charger installs but despite their efforts they finally failed and lost the fight. 😎

New Zealand cities ranked

The vast majority of iconic New Zealand is rural / wilderness, while the vast majority of the population live in the cities. While little of their built environment is beautiful, there are still many attractions in our largest cities. I’ve spent time in the twenty largest (according to Wikipedia), visiting all bar two (Whanganui and Hastings) multiple times, and this is how I would rank them as…

New Zealand Doom-Groove Crew INFINITY RITUAL Drop New Music Video

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

Here's an act that'll really light your fire. Hailing from New Plymouth, New Zealand, this is INFINITY RITUAL, a band whose motto is "Doom, Groove, Volume." Dealing mean stoner riffs is the name of the game for their extended play debut -- four gritty, motoriffic tracks with an infectious charge full-steam ahead and take no prisoners along the way kind of vibe.

Today, we're revisiting the record, simply titled 'EP' (2022), with a fresh look at the third track, "Underneath." The band takes us to the damp, dark halls of prison for the music video, performing a song that's at least as dank as the concrete and steel bars that surround us.

"I see a light at the end of the tunnel. It's my father. He's smiling at me. I don't really understand....is this the end?" singer and guitarist Adam Colless wonders aloud. The band answers with a fury of complex rhythms and chunky slabs of riffage that had me thinking of Coal Chamber and Mudvayne at junctures. The song is one hell of a headbanger, releasing pent up angst and aggression within a framework of despair and metaphysical mystery.

Give ear...

WATCH & LISTEN: Infinity Ritual - "Underneath"

SOME BUZZ

Fans of heavy music have a new band to keep an eye on: Taranaki's Infinity Ritual. It's hard to pin down their sound exactly, but the band says they'd describe it as a groove metal wall of noise, with solid doses of rock, doom and stoner rock. And they already have their own beer.

Infinity Ritual released their debut self-titled EP in July, and – well-deserved, but much to their surprise – it reached No. 17 in the Top 40 Albums Chart and No. 5 in the NZ Albums Chart.

Drummer Mark Thomas told The Taranaki Daily News, “It was quite amazing to see us at number 5 on the New Zealand chart, but to be number 17 on the general top 40 was something I didn't expect.”

Mark Thomas may be familiar to music fans via his passion for vinyl He currently owns Vinyl Countdown in New Plymouth, and used to own Real Groovy Wellington. He has a long history with record stores, and calls record collecting "a really healthy addiction."

EP by Infinity Ritual

In other very cool news, Three Sisters Brewery has just released a beer named after the band, the Infinity Ritual Magic 8 West Coast IPA. They say, "To celebrate this collaboration with doom metal band Infinity Ritual we wanted to brew a beer that tasted like drinking a bitter pine tree. Mission accomplished, fuel for the mosh pit..."

Infinity Ritual has just completed a tour of the North Island, impressing people at each show. Muzic.net.nz's Kev Rowland caught their Auckland show at Ding Dong Lounge (17 December 2022) , saying, "This is a band I definitely want to see again, and anyone into this style of metal needs to seek them out."

Plymouth XNR Concept, 1960. Designed by Virgil M. Exner and built by Carrozzeria Ghia, the XNR made its first public appearance at the New York Auto Show.  It used the chassis and Slant-6 engine from the Valiant, both of which were new for the 1960 model year.

I know it's probably the easiest route and it's all very stressful, a 500kg unexploded WWII bomb is not something I'd want anywhere near me, but did they have to make the evacuation zone a wobbly cock?

Let's hope it doesn't blow.

This is just a map of New England (minus Connecticut the fake New England state)

#text post #new england #source: boston 25 news website: believe it or not massachusetts is not the most irish state new study finds #18.9% of mass residents have irish ancestry #really this is not surprising at all. massachusetts is the most population-dense state by far with the most immigrants #and new hampshire? ask anyone where their family lived before they came to new hampshire. it was massachusetts #new hampshire is full of ethnically irish and italian and polish catholics whose families have been here long enough #to assimilate and move to the suburbs and become xenophobic and anti-immigrant. #literally bothers me so much when ppl named molly o'flannigan and patrick sullivan talk shit about dorchester lawrence etc #and other immigrant-dense areas in new england. i'm like baby your grandparents lived there #well or at least that's my experience #new england still does have a shocking amount of wasps whose families have been here since the fuckin mayflower #i dont have a direct link to that in my own family but it's very strange how that is taught to new england children as like #'our' heritage in schools. plymouth plantation and the puritans and all that. you're weirdly made to identify w it #and like as time goes on #just factually that only represents the population of ppl who live and are raised here less and less. #not to mention it does nothing to address DIVERSITY in the area. but i suppose there's like a local mythos #we have to teach a story to children and it has to be a 'we' story and that story has to be pilgrims #bc the story has to start at colonization and not expand after that. thats too complex. happy thanksgiving? #new england white people have a habit of thinking theyre irish catholic anglo-protestant settlers and they built this country #they dont parse out their own identity at all and they certainly don't want to have to consider other ppl's. #wow i didnt mean this to turn into a culture-critical rant im sure most of my followers arent even from here so idk what this means 2 u guy #happy saint patrick's day!
