I was definitely sacred off by the title of DOOMRAISER's first demo 'Heavy Drunken Doom'. No, I haven't lost my sense of humor, but I have always been bored by party bands, no matter what musical genre it is. There are more interesting topics than your latest bender, ...
TRIPPY WICKED & THE COSMIC CHILDREN OF THE KNIGHT (Movin On) CD
Due to the style of the colorful artwork of 'Movin On' it should be clear where the journey goes: back to the seventies. But this does not mean that UK's TRIPPY WICKED isn't interested in contemporary heavy rock bands, which leads to the fact that their self-financed debut ...
Does anyone remember the Italian heavy psych band That's All Folks! ? For me personally, they belonged to the spearhead of Italy's psychedelic rock scene at the end of the last decade and I still like their two records. Now ...
So far I had no chance to listen to the debut album 'Embrace of the Narrow House' from THE WOUNDED KINGS, a relatively new doom metal band from England. But after listening several times in a row to their second full-length 'The Shadow Over Atlantis', released in 2010 ...
Last year, when I received this DVD from Rainman Records, Dickie Peterson was alive and nobody reckons with his dead. In October 2009, he suddenly and unexpectedly died in his residence in Erkelenz, Germany, and a lot of fans and musicians were shocked by this sad news. So ...
CHARGER come from Stoke-On-Trent, the city in which the mighty Discharge was founded almost 35 years ago. Of course, CHARGER do not exist for such a long time, but at least they have released two albums and a couple of EP's in the past years. At times, the ...
THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT (Our Days Mind The Tyme) LP/CD
In sharp contrast to the past, where Bad Afro Records had only a clear focus on the Scandinavian rock scene, Australia's THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT is their first band from outside of Scandinavia. They are no unknowns in the psychedelic folk/rock scene and 'Our Days Mind The Tyme' ...
If bassplayer Michael 'MetalB' Bolle isn't out with his pals of Tortured Spirit, then he dedicates himself completely to another main occupation and that's TERRORBLADE. Due to the title of their second self financed EP it is quite obvious that TERRORBLADE has nothing in common with heavy Sabbath-esque riffs. ...
DeWOLFF (Strange Fruits And Undiscovered Plants) LP/CD
The Netherlands are a fertile ground for bands that are strongly influenced from the heavy sounds of the early 1970's, and Orange Sunshine and Wallrus may serve as good examples here. New to that bands is DeWOLFF, founded in 2007 in a Southern part of the Netherlands (Limburg) called ...
Shortly before the end of 2009, I got this brilliant album from the guys at Trip In Time Records. Well, actually, this album is a compilation consisting of their two EP's 'Bad Blood' and 'Winter', but I can well imagine that most of the Cosmic Lava readers as well as ...
