Like the great Colossus in the album's opening track, Meshuggah have reawakened their technical and thematic prowess. Guzzling and transforming the dreams of fans who longed for the the lumbering grooves and churning beats that define the band's self-made genre. After years of experimental asynchronous phrasing and obtuse leads that were defined by Catch 33 and ObZen, Meshuggah has reemerged with a thunderous offering. Conjuring up images of Lovecraftian awakenings and war machines stomping across the land and laying waste to the non-believers, this album delivers.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The Demon's Name Is Surveillance is possibly the best example of sonic landscape in Meshuggah's entire catalog. The thundering, persistent double-kick laid down by Tomas Haake is reminiscent of Apache AH-64's slicing through the sky and rendering judgment on the unknowing unfortunate souls below. Percussion on this track is welcome divergence from the norms and niche patterns that Meshuggah have carved out for themselves. The sense of paranoia is persistent and the listener's expectations of resolution or climax build and build, but are never satisfied. My only complaint here is it ends too soon.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Rolling and intense, the riffs of Swarm took me back to the furious intro of Gods of Rapture and the persistence of Corridor of Chameleons and The Mouth Licking What You've Bled but with new twists and turns everywhere. The grooves in Marrow are a testament to the band's ability to bend and twist seemingly simple patterns in fashions that dilate and contract time in otherworldly fashions. As a whole, Marrow represents the sum of Meshuggah's collective works. Everything from the bending and twisting of meter and rhythm, to the jazz riddled solos are showcased here. Possibly the most mature and cohesive track on the album, this is a return to the glory days of Chaosphere and Nothing.</div>Tom "Sinistre" McLeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17161921856809478808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799742311291738752.post-54984623847867867682012-03-27T12:20:00.003-04:002012-03-28T16:20:16.893-04:00Down-Tempo Doom Chili (Pork Chili Verde)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The filler of burritos.

If there were ever a dish that spoke to the hearts and minds of southern metalheads, ney, metalheads everywhere it would have to be chili. Properly prepared and cooked this dish has the power to fuel bands on the cheap from gig to gig, give roadies the energy to setup, tear down sets, and keep fans moshing for hours on end. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><h3><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">What is PORK CHILI VERDE?</span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Chili Verde is a variant of the red tomato based concoction we all know as chili. Like tomato based chili, chili Verde hails from Mexico, but that's where the similarities end. You won't find any of the typical beans or chunks of tomatoes or onions in this stew. Instead it is made from blended tomatillos and a variety of green chili peppers. In a traditional tomato based chili you would typically find a whole host of herbs and spices added at different stages in the cooking process. Some people in this world are more likely to kill you than give you their recipe. None of that nonsense here. Chili Verde is flavored with a mix of cilantro (by the handful), garlic, and cumin. You can add more if you want, we added cayenne and oregano to the mix, but this is completely optional.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some of these ingredients can be hard to come by in your local grocery store, so we set out to a great Philadelphia landmark, the 9th Street (or if you are a tourist...Italian) Market. Here you can find some incredible fresh ingredients on the cheap. They've got everything from butcher shops, to produce stands. Even an actual tortilla shop that rolls out fresh corn tortillas and is more than willing to give you free samples. They sell them by weight at $2/kilo. That's a little over 2lbs of hot, fresh corn tortilla goodness for $2. That's subway fare for over a months worth of taco containment. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div><span style="font-weight: normal;">In a chimney starter, light enough coals to cover at least half of your grill. Here we are working with a small grill, hence the small number of coals.</span></div><div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Next, you're going to have to roast the tomatillos, peppers, and garlic. The garlic is going to get roasted in a foil pouch until soft. The tomatillos and peppers however are destined for the flames. Literally. We are going to roast them until they start to turn black and the skin bubbles up. Keep turning them every few minutes to make sure they get evenly roasted. If you can't fit them all on your grill you can work in batches. We had to because 'Lil Smokey Joe here (yes that's his name) just wasn't able to fit all the veggies at once. When the peppers are done roasting cover them in a bowl and set them aside. This is also when you want to pull the garlic off the grill.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />

Step 3: Cube and Brown the Pork<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Take that giant piece of meat, trim off all the excess fat and chop it into 1" pieces. Put a small amount of oil in a skillet and place over high heat. Working in small batches brown the meat and add oil as needed. The idea here is not to cook the meat all the way. You just want to cook the outsides so they are brown and slightly crispy. After each batch, place the browned meat into the slow cooker.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">DO NOT throw away the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. They are packed with caramelized pork flavor goodness and you don't want to waste it. We'll see how to make good use of these little guys later.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
Step 4: What the French call "fond" I call "Caramelized Meat Bits of Awesomeness"<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">You didn't throw those browned bits of pork away, did you? Good. It's called "fond" and it's going to add a whole new level of meatiness to this chili. Now take that onion we mentioned earlier and chop it up. A rough chop is fine here, they're going to be blended anyway. Now take the onion and put it in the pan with the fond and add a bit of the chicken stock to the pan. Using a wooden spoon or spatula scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan and dissolve it in the chicken stock. This is technically called a pan sauce. When the onions are softened take the pan off of the burner and set aside.</span><br />

</span><br />
Step 6: Peel the Peppers<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Remember those peppers we roasted. Uncover them an peel the skins off. They should be practically falling off at this point. You also want to remove the stems and seeds here.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
Step 5: Blend the Sauce<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Working in batches add the remaining chicken stock, skinned and deseeded peppers, tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, softened onions, and spices to the blender. Don't blend it too much, we want it a bit chunky. After each batch pour the blended sauce over the browned pork in the slow cooker.</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
Step 6: Wait...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">After all the sauce is added set the slow cooker on high and wait. Go do something. Anything that takes 3-4 hours. When you come back the pork should fall apart when crushed with a fork. If it doesn't, keep waiting.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
Step 7: Finish the Chili (Optional)<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">When the pork is fork shreadable, the chili is ready to eat. With this batch we noticed that it seemed a little thin and decided to reduce it. To do this, transfer all of the pork and some of the sauce to the saute pan and start shredding the meat up. Put the pan over medium-low heat and cook for 15-20 minutes. Reducing also concentrates the flavors. At this point you can return it to the rest of the chili sauce and mix or keep it separate and allow people to add additional sauce.</span><br />
