Ever wanted to attend a rock show at a cemetery? Shit yeah you have.

This evening, Wrekmeister Harmonies—the nom de noise of local audio ambient J.R. Robinson—will celebrate the release of his Thrill Jockey debut, You've Always Meant So Much To Me. To do so, Wrekmeister Harmonies will unlock the doors and pass through the cemetery gates of Bohemian National Cemetery.

Helping bring You've Always Meant So Much To Me, a sepulchral work of profound orchestral beauty and brutality, to life are members of local metal titans Leviathan, Nachtmystium, Indian, Anatomy of Habit, and Bloodiest. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $15. Previously, Wrekmeister performed You've Always Meant So Much To Me as part of the Museum of Contemporary Art's "Face The Strange" series.

Opening the night are Acteurs, featuring Disappears' Brian Case and audio engineer Jeremy Lemos (check out their Empty Bottle debut show here), and Rob Sevier, who'll serve as the evening's DJ.

A metal show in a cemetery! This is the epitome of metal YOLO. Do it.

Here's a preview for the show:
