Orange Goblin – A Eulogy for the Damned
Posted: February 6, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Lovingly pinched from Metal Review.com: Although London institution Orange Goblin has been kicking ass consistently for fifteen years, it is somewhat recently that the band has really perfected the blend of Black Sabbath, Motörhead, and Down – the kind of hard-rocking, thick-grooving, bottle-smashing outlaw stoner metal that’s so easy to overlook ...read more

Pharaoh Overlord – Lunar Jetman
Posted: February 5, 2012 at 4:36 pm

Of course, not many people could perfectly emulate Reich’s pulsing, shifting, harmonically dense ...read more

Lurk – Lurk
Posted: February 2, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Praise for Lurk‘s S/T from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: This is the debut release from these Finnish heavies, and is a crushing slab of gloriously abject doomsludge infused with plenty of old school slo-mo death metal crush, the label mentions bands like Coffins, Autopsy, Winter and Celtic Frost, and we’re ...read more
