I am not sure if there is someone out there who can keep up with the Wino’s works every year…And by that I mean not only his countless special guest appearances but also his main projects. Over-kinetic, relentless, restless, multitalented…all have been said before…all true. So you asked for it! The man’s new project -Premonition 13- is making its debut entitled as “13”. After the successful EP, the expectations were high and personally I couldn’t wait for this moment! You […]

It seems that until recently countries like Finland, Norway, Sweden and perhaps Germany had the monopoly on funeral doom subgenre. I said until recently because Loss from Tennessee seem very determined to change that. “Despond” is the debut album of the band, but the 5th release so for after an army of decsent splits and the much promising Demo “Life Without Hope…Death Without Reason” released back in 2004. For those of you who don’t know what Loss is all about […]

Spoiler Warning: This review is going to end like “buy this baby”! if you are having financial difficulties lately stop reading this review… Yeah, you guessed right, this is one is top 10 material! Apparently the 70’s were sweet times and bands like Orchid, Saturnalia Temple want to teach us just how sweet. Well …“Carnal Altar” is all about 70’s worshipping baby, so you add these guys on this long list right away. Funny thing is that Serpent Venom is […]

Instrumental albums are a bit of a mystery. In general bands that choose to play instrumental must bring some magic into play if they want to keep you from falling asleep or put you in position to tell the songs apart. Monkey 3 from Switzerland have already 3 titles on their resume and “Beyond the Black Sky” is their newest child. If you have followed the band then you probably are aware of their constant flirt with post-metal, space rock […]

As the summer has come to stay for good I thought I would review another desert monster that I discovered recently from the legendary website Sludge Swamp. EX is an Italian band and I was totally unaware of its existence until recently. Basically, it’s more like the one man project of Eugenio Di Giacomantonio rather than a full-blown band and “Abuse” marks their/his 4th release already. The most important aspect of the band’s character is their obsession with vintage and […]

This artist was introduced to me by the legendary blogger . Great laid back tunes straight from Palm desert…ahem Brazil. Unfortunately I don’t have many info about this guy but I am sure I will have dig up some by his next release! This one man project/artist appears to know what the desert is all about. Don’t expect anything too heavy. Great funk, psychedelic, blues in the vein of Brant Bjork…at his best. No vocals just guitar, bass and drums. […]

When Doomraiser released their demo back in 2004 nothing could prepare the world for what would come next. Basically, this band started as a bunch of friends who liked alcohol and heavy metal to turn into what every healthy doom fan would consider as a major act. Still what this guys have accomplished in terms of popularity is uncertain but for a doom metal band this is a good thing. So after their legendary “Erasing the Remembrance” Doomraiser come back […]

There is something going on in Canada lately. So many cool doom/stoner acts can’t be a coincidence. But sludge from Canada? Now you’ve seen everything! The 3-piece from Montreal call themselves Dopethrone. Well, obviously these guys will never win the prize of originality for the band name category. Actually, neither their music will! But hell, with this kind of riffage who gives a shit about prizes! First of all after listening to “Demonsmoke” I can see that “Dark Foil” is […]
