Craig Williamson is back with a new band, and everyone who knows his previous groups (Datura, Lamp Of The Universe) will know that this guy represents the psychedelic musical heart of New Zealand. The results of his work are outstanding and once again he demonstrates with ARC OF ...
When APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE released their first demo in 2005, they have caused a stir among doom metal connoisseurs. And justifiably so, because they were able to write powerful songs. Their performance was brutally heavy and dark, yet the songs still retain memorable with well-developed melodies. Meanwhile five ...
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 ...
This nice 7" has been announced a few years ago, and finally Catacomb Records have released it at the end of 2009. As usual, this split is strictly limited to 250 purple copies and probably you should hurry up before it's too late. ALUNAH (originally called Aluna) opens with a ...
ABRAMIS BRAMA has been around for almost fourteen years, but it seems as if this Swedish band is still an insider tip. I don't know why this is so, but it's definitely not because of the music. 'Smakar Söndag' is the fifth studio album, released in 2009 via Transubstans Records, ...

ASYLUM (The Earth Is The Insane Asylum Of The Universe) CD
With the release of ASYLUM's first demo, Shadow Kingdom Records enables us to take a look at the very early years of one of Maryland's finest bands. By now, it should be generally known that ASYLUM changed their name into UNORTHODOX in the early 1990' shortly before Hellhound Records released ...
The eagerly awaited debut album from ARGUS is finally out, and exceeds all my expectations with ease. I have already expressed my enthusiasm in the demo review and interview, but this album makes ...
Sometimes it can happen that a new band release their first album, and after an extensive listening sessions you find out that it would've been better for that band not to release a full-length but only a 7" or a 10" just because most of the included material is embryonic. UK's ...
Maybe the title from the last album of AMONG THE MISSING was a sight into the their own future, because the band broke-up soon after this second release. Personally, I believe that this is a real loss, because their filthy blend consisting of crust, thrash, sludge and doom was very refreshing ...
