Salvation: A mysterious hardcore/black metal outfit that achieves terrifying catharses on its two Youth Attack releases, Mortality Interactions and “House Of The Beating Hell”. Fri., April 6, early show. Level Room, 2102 Market St.
Leather: Extremely misanthropic and hyper-vengeful
punk-rock; when drummer Brad Raub isn’t mutilating his kit, he works the door at most Phonographic Arts shows. Sat., April 7, early show. Emoda Gallery, Third and Moore sts.
Spacin’: “Psychedelic thud rock with Afrobeat tendencies.” That’s how Jason Killinger—also playing Liberty Fest with his power-psych band Birds of Maya—describes this new project whose debut album drops soon on Philly’s Richie Records. Sun., April 8, late show. Level Room, 2102 Market St.
