The final R-A-R of 2009 features Chicago quartet Pelican. There's also interviews with Greg Anderson's resurrected Goatsnake, Subarachnoid Space, Todd, Junius, Kodiak, Majeure, Part Chimp, Krallice, Supersilent, Beak and Dr. Slaggleberry. This month's Label Focus is on Conspiracy. Also included is the usual vast selection of news, music, DVD and live reviews from the avant-rock, metal, noise and experimental scenes. Highly recommended!
