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...

After five years the US-splatterfreaks are back with the next skullcrushing album, but a lot has changed. Not from their music, although I miss the slow and doomy elements of the before released album "Holocausto De La Morte"...
Finally here it is, the debut of German doomsters SHEPHERD. I've written very some positive words about the self-titled demo three-tracker but "Laments" simply blows it away...
I remember the first Swedish Sins compilation on White Jazz, where the mysterious ZEN participated with an awesome track. Sorry, I forgot the title but for my taste, it was one of the best songs on this compilation...
A new US-band with their debut on Benchmark Records. They don't cover any new ground, but their downtuned heavy rock is solid and entertaining to keep spinning in my player...
