Left Lane Cruiser - Junkyard Speed Ball (2011)

Get ready for another high speed country cruise to US south with Left Lane Cruiser as our drivers. Bluesy,groovy,punky,stompy,high-voltage music as they get us used to. The addition of keyboards (by Reverend James Leg aka John Wesley Myers) in 5 songs was an excellent touch. Damn,this is GOOOD! Cheers!

Enjoy!

Take A Look:

Boris with Merzbow - Klatter (2011)

Another collaboration between Merzbow and Boris (it's the sixth). Actually, it's a 2007 recording but never released then so its time has now came. You know what to expect,harsh noise,raw heavy rock and a kraut feeling. In its 5 tracks it contains two re-recorded versions of "Akuma No Uta", "Naki Kyoku" and "Akuma No Uta". It's a vinyl only release limited to 1000 copies. Check it out while the other Boris' new releases are on their way.

Enjoy!

Consular - Creep (2010)

These guys from Miami,US know how to make fine pieces of sludge(-core). They execute you with riff after riff, rhythm is thick as wall,strong grooves and the vocalist just tear his throat apart and delivers it in a sludgy plate. Good stuff.

Enjoy! or Enjoy!

Take A Look:

SubRosa - No Help For The Mighty One (2011)

New album from Utah's female dominated SubRosa and it's a really interesting work. In the beginning, it sounded a little confusing for me but after a couple of minutes things changed. Downtuned doom rock with the violins make the difference by giving the music an air of majesty and sadness at the same time. Great (female) vocal harmonies, strong songwriting and music's dark air make the songs stuck in your head. I think that this is SubRosa's best release since now and it's quite unique by pushing the boundaries of doom sound a little further. 

Enjoy!

Take A Look:

Six Organs Of Admittance - Asleep On The Floodplain (2011)

Time for some relaxing,peaceful music from the new Six Organs Of Admittance's new album. A journey into tranquility of your mind,a kind of meditation feeling the music's harmony. A release which catches you with the simple beauty of the acoustic guitar (the core of all songs). An hypnotic quiet gem which needs attention.

Enjoy!

Take A Look:

Purling Hiss

These guys from Philadelphia was a great finding,I have to say. Actually, Purling Hiss is Mike Polizze's (guitar,Birds Of Maya) band and it's pure psych rock at its finest form. Three releases in a small period of time  While the "Public Service Announcement" stays in more lo-fi paths(but still remains great),the other two "Purling Hiss" and especially "Hissteria" are...BOOM! Filthy ear-bleeding "cacophony" psych,full of fuzzy guitars,menacing vibes erupting from your player and kicking out your heart. We're talking about amplifier worship here. Check out all their releases no matter what.

Monster Magnet..the early early years

Three early releases of Monster Magnet. The first one is "Love Monster" from 1988 (but released in 2001) which is written and recorded from Dave Wyndorf before Monster Magnet was formed.  The other two ("We're Stoned,What Are You Gonna Do About It" and "Forget About Life, I'm High On Dope") are from 1989 and they're cassette recordings. At this point M.M. were : Dave Wyndorf (Guitar,Vocals), John McBain (Bass), Tim Cronin (Drums,Vocals). They are must-have releases for all fans of Spine of God era. Cheers!

BONUS:

Here are the releases of Wyndorf's band before Monster Magnet along with Phil Caivano and Daniel Rabinowitz. They released two 7"s in 1979 ("Combat Love") and 1981 ("Go Cruisin'") and a selftitled EP in 1984. Don't expect anything like Magnet's stuff,only a glam-punk-powerpop kind of thing.

Take A Look:

Lvmen - Mondo (2006)

Lvmen is a great Czesch band in the spirit of Neurosis and Isis post-circles but they have anything to do with all these bands which really have me tired of listening to all the same copied things again and again. Lvmen is a hidden gem in our music world and they are far better of all these schemes who try to create contemplative musical suites that supposed to be masterpieces of atmosphere and shit like that. As I read in a review somewhere they're like: "So say Neurosis and Isis had a baby and Talk Talk and Slint had a baby, then those babies met and had a baby, and that baby met the baby of Godspeed and Pg.99 and they had a baby. Thats Lvmen."  This is their third release and if you are into in Pelican,Ocean,Isis I guarantee that you will love them and you'll understand why they are far better.


Enjoy!

Take A Look:

Demonic Death Judge

Mighty monstrous raw stoner/sludge from Finland with some psych Ufomammut-ish parts attached in it. Further description seems unneeded. A must-check band for all bearded "music-weeders" out there,members of Iron Monkey-Eyehategod-Bongzilla-Electric Wizard well-respected society. Cheers!

Arbouretum - The Gathering (2011)

Arbouretum's new release is a magnificent piece of work and I think you should listen to it. My fellow mate from "Wine,Women & Song" just brought this up so go and check it.

Get it from Wine,Women & Song : Arbouretum - The Gathering

Lord Vicar & Griftegård - Split (2011)

Lord Vicar and Griftegård split featuring two new songs. Lord Vicar's contribution is "Do You Believe" which is actually a cover of Cardigans' same-titled song and Griftegård's is "A Deathbed For All Holy". Doom on.

Enjoy!

Rabbits - Lower Forms (2011)

New release for Rabbits which stands in a sludge-punk-hardcore crossroad. This album is actually as raw as it takes. You can feel its aggression from the first minute. Only a pinch of melody here and there and the vocals are just shouting and screaming in a punk/hardcore way. In most cases,I don't think that I could have liked an album like that but for this one I have to make an exception. Maybe it's the nerve,the aggression and the vibrant feeling that gives me.

Enjoy!

Sun Of Nothing - The Guilt Of Feeling Alive (2011)

"The Guilt of Feeling Alive" is Sun of Nothing's latest release and surely their most complete work. One of Creece's finest releases for this year (along with Brotherhood's of Sleep "Dark As Light"). It's quite difficult to categorize this album.Sludge,doom,post-something,black,noise, they all are members of this rich and fine album. They create a nihilistic,suffocating atmosphere which is ready to swallow each piece of you in the abyss and it's quite more aggressive than their previous releases.You should listen to it and feel the experience.

Enjoy!
