It's hard just to be a "metal" band anymore, what with all the "tech metal" and "doom metal" and "post-metal" purveyors out there. The Cast Pattern shares shows with all of the above, but the cochlea-scorching Lawrence band is content to just play really loud and brutal and let the pundits do the labeling. After four years and one lead singer change, the band is about to release its debut self-titled LP on California's Uprising Records (home to 7 Angels 7 Plagues and a bunch of other scale-shredding hardcore bands). On the eve of a three-week tour, singer James Savage and bassist Brian Denman stopped by to give the new record a spin and say lots of uncouth things that they'll probably regret one day.
