Hampshire College Heavy Music Collective (H.C.H.M.C.) Unrecognized

Mission Statement
The Hampshire College Heavy Music Collective (H.C.H.M.C.) is a music collective whose goal is to promote a trend in modern music sometimes generalized as "heavy" music. This will go through the organization of screenings/listening sessions of such music, and if possible the organization of live shows. A short term goal is to make this student group a place to share and exchange music.

This group was created in F'10.

Coming Up Music Events in the Valley:
Nile, Psycroptic, Keep of Kalessin and Ex Deo are playing in Manchester, NH on November 4th. I can take people who are interested: email juwb08@hampshire.edu for more info.

Ordaining the Apocalypse, Humanity Falls [Experimental Death Metal, prerelease edition from 2010]

Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Om, Earthless, Black Sabbath, Floor, Torche... pretty much anything - the internet is just that good. might be hard to get higher quality rips (Flac/Aiff/wav?) though, but I'll be honest: I think higher quality mp3s are decent and unless anyone disagrees we're probably going to listen to a few just because they're convenient and some records are pretty rare / expensive
