JUMBO'S KILLCRANE
05/20/2004
Based in Lawrence, Kansas, math-sludge berserkers JUMBO'S KILLCRANE are back with a new release, the amazing "Carnaval De Carne" MCD. But they got more in store, than just being a simple sludge band. They create effective blues-laden noise, with a special kind of dark sarcastic humour. This isn't the sound for ...

SANTERIA
05/20/2004
SANTERIA is definitely one of the most interesting bands of the south of the USA. They describe their sound as southern tribal rock, what means that it's full of mystizism, trance-like drums and heavy riffs. Ok, there's more to discover, but once again words can't desrcibe the beauty and magic of ...

STEREOCHRIST
05/20/2004
Hungary got a small, but fine scene of heavy bands, who are influenced by doom-infected sounds. Mood was the premier band of this active underground, but they broke up. Fortunately, some of the former members decided to start a new band, which released one good promo CD-R under the monicker Super Natural ...

VOODOOSHOCK
05/20/2004
During the last years the German heavy Doom scene has grown much stronger than ever before. VOODOOSHOCK are the next bright star, although they aren't exactely a German band, because the rythm-section is coming out of Switzerland. Fronted by ex-Naevus member Uwe Groebel, the band plays very emotional 70's-oriented heavy Doom ...

M-SQUAD
05/05/2004
Does anybody remember the great BLOOD FARMERS? They've released one fantastic album on Hellhound Records in 1995, and it's a legendary release in doom metal circles. But that's history, and M-SQUAD has risen out of the ashes of BLOOD FARMERS. M-SQUAD is one of the very few bands that have captured a total ...

JPT SCARE BAND
05/05/2004
The JPT SCARE BAND belongs to those legendary well-hidden under-underground bands from the early 70's, which never released any official album in this time, but thanks to Monster Records, who have discovered some old tapes of the JPT SCARE BAND and released them to all our pleasure. The music of the ...

COLOUR HAZE
04/29/2004
COLOUR HAZE are one of the most exciting German heavy psych-rock bands of today, and with their latest album "Los Sounds De Krauts", they've released an amazing and trippy album, which seems like the missing link between old spaced-out 70's sounds and 90's heavy rock in the vein of Kyuss or ...

BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE
04/28/2004
BOHREN are a unique German band, which combines the merciless heaviness from bands as Winter or Saint Vitus without using heavy distorted downtuned guitars, with the melancholy of early Miles Davis stuff. The result of this crossing is very intense and not recommandable for impatient people, because you need time for ...
