CORPUS CHRISTI —Local boutique metal connoisseurs will have plenty of micro-genre selection to choose from when noise-metal kings Today is the Day crust-blasters Complete Failure Austin’s At All Cost and Dallas grinders Kill the Client hit The Compound for the Coastal Bend date of their “Total Resistance 2008″ tour. Hailing from the city best known for the Grand Ole Opry and The Country Music Hall of Fame Nashville’s Today is the Day has spent the better part of 16 years unleashing its fierce aural assault on noise-rockers and headbangers the world over. Early on Today is the Day’s brand of experimental metal found an audience with noise-rock fans who championed the avant-garde approach of Neurosis and The Melvins; more recently the band’s style has evolved into a straight-forward death-metal approach that readily can be found on 2007’s “Axis of Eden” album. While the band’s early releases on the defunct Amphetamine Reptile Records label since have become collector items Today is the Day guitarist and vocalist Steve Austin has re-released those titles on his own label Supernova Records. Austin noted that negotiations which at times can be a thorny situation for some artists were stress-free. “Tom Hazelmyer is a dear friend and gave me the licensing rights to re-issue them” Austin said referring to the label’s founder.

Lee who was present for the interview said nothing.

We wrote an album to remind us of the stuff we grew up on the music that got us into hardcore when we were teenagers. We harnessed that raw energy and power the unbridled passion of those days at CBGB and basements and VFW halls across the country sleeping on concrete floors and shoplifting for fun back when it felt like you were really part of something different. We’ve checked the rock and roll ambitions and delusional fantasies at the door and wrote a hardcore record like only we knew how.

com or bowerypresents. Soilent Green from Louisiana is just as loud but less structured: the band has been known to get into slower tempos making a more organic and downcast kind of music.
