Album of the day: Slabdragger – Regress

Posted on Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Lovingly pinched Beard Rock: All first impressions of Slabdragger scream ‘Stoner Doom’, from the lyrical themes of weed crusades and paganism to the cool artwork and the press release for Regress itself. And indeed, there are monolithic riffs that sound as if they’re tuned to H Flat, galloping Sabs passages ...read more

Album of the day: Serpentcult – Raised By Wolves

Posted on Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from Doommantia: Belgian sludge-doomsters Serpentcult have had more bad luck than most bands with constant line-up changes and all but now they are back, this time as a stripped-down three-piece consisting of Frédéric Caure, Steven Van Cauwenbergh and Frederik ‘Cozy’ Cosemans. The worst thing about these changes is ...read more

Album of the day: Circle of Ouroborus – Eleven Fingers

Posted on Monday, July 25th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from The Inarguable: There is no other band that sounds like Circle of Ouroborus. Hell, half the time they don’t even sound like themselves. From their onset, this mysterious Finnish duo made their mark with a unique, almost complacent-sounding take on the “punkier” side of black metal, paying ...read more

Album of the day: Noctum – The Fiddler (EP)

Posted on Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Lovingly pinched from Doommantia: Remember Witchcraft? They currently live in the ‘where are they now file’ to use a quote from the Spinal Tap movie but seriously that band has become old-news and one of the reasons is bands like Noctum have come on the scene. People compare Noctum to ...read more

Album of the day: Expo 70 – Awakening

Posted on Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

Praise for Expo 70‘s Awakening from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: This long out of print cassette from kosmische explorers Expo 70 is now available on CD!!! (And, vinyl too, which we’ll have next week, just ask, and they even pressed it on cassette again as well, weirdly enough). Here’s what we ...read more

Album of the day: Heinali and Matt Finney – Ain’t No Night

Posted on Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Lovingly pinched from Hammer Smashed Sound: I try not to put too much of myself in these reviews (I know, I’ve failed at that) because seriously – who the hell really cares what I think? I wouldn’t. And I don’t expect anyone else to, but in some cases, it’s unavoidable. ...read more

Posted on Thursday, July 21st, 2011

Praise for Liquid Sound Company‘s Acid Music For Acid People from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records:  Here’s the latest (but the first disc we’ve reviewed) from a band that’s been baking in the Texas sun for a while now, Liquid Sound Company. While Texas sure has a tradition of drugged out underground ...read more
