The album title describes the new CLUTCH album perfect. This is pure groove laden Heavyrock, played very furious and fronted by the amazing and unique vocals of Neil Fallon...
After the more experimental "Dactyls Glomerata" album CANDLEMASS returns in 1999 with this new record and Leif Edling has found new strong members to create "From the 13th Sun". And what can I say? It's a fantastic record (or return) with some new influences...
Thanks to Greg and Stephen from SOUTHERN LORD REC for releasing the new album from one of the world's strongest Heavy Doom Rock bands-Japans CHURCH OF MISERY. I think, they are still too underated, but I hope this will change with this brilliant album...
With their debut album "Forest of Equilibrium" this band recorded one of the most extreme Doom albums in the beginning of the 90's and it's still a classic today. Now in 2001 the band uses more elements from the early period, than on any other record before...

A viscous, mystical ultraheavy trip through the backyard of your mind and soul offers this masterpiece from BURNING WITCH. It has been released in 1999 by SOUTHERN LORD Rec...
BOTTOM are a female three-piece from NYC and this is their second release, after the self-financed debut "Made in Voyage" back in 1999 on their own label MUDFLAP Rec. I hadn't the chance to listen to their first CD, but BOTTOM received a lot of very good reviews from all over the world for it...
New York is still a place where some good bands like SLOW HORSE or BOTTOM are around and BORGO PASS is another heavy band that comes out of the big apple. "Powered By Sludge" is their self-financed debut but don't get confused with the name and the album title...
The mysterious Japanese band BORIS is always good for a hard to digest surprise, and so it's with this album, that is a re-release on Southern Lord Records. First off, thanks a lot for it, because nearly all their releases are impossible to find...
A heavy sonic ambience and unique soundscapes like EARTH is the creation of the Japanese band BORIS. But they sound more industrial with all this electronic sounds in the song and after ca...
