CASSLE (s/t) CD

07/24/2011

Due to the excellent archaeological work of Shadow Kingdom Records, people have now the chance to discover the short-lived U.S. band CASSLE. During their period of existence, CASSLE has only released the 'Midnight Fantasy' picture 7" via Azra Records before they split-up in 1983. The EP 'Midnight Fantasy' was ...

CONDENADOS (A Painful Journey Into Nihil) CD

05/30/2011

Shadow Kingdom Records already excellent reputation for sourcing ultra-rare heavy metal and top-notch doom metal can only be reinforced by this album. It was only after five years that Chile's CONDENADOS finally managed to release their first full-length 'A Painful Journey Into Nihil' via Shadow Kingdom Records. With ...

COFFIN ON TYRES (Red) CD

03/26/2011

It had been a long time since I had received any news from our French neighbors. As far as I remember, it was the last album from Glowsun that I found in the Cosmic Lava mailbox. Now it's up to COFFIN ON TYRES who released their self-financed debut album in ...

CONNY OCHS (Raw Love Songs) LP/CD

01/14/2011

Some of you will probably know Conny Ochs from his last year's tour with Scott 'Wino' Weinrich. Conny Ochs' performance made quite an impact, not only on the audience but also on Exile On Mainstream Records. Due to this reason, they took the opportunity to sign him and to ...

CRISIS (Armed To The Teeth/Kick It Out) 2CD

10/28/2010

Just take a look at the cover, and you know that it dates back from the 1980's; to put it more precisely, it dates back from 1984. 'Armed To The Teeth' was the debut EP by the US-band CRISIS, which have remained rather unknown till the present day. The ...

CUZO (Otros Mundos) LP/CD

10/15/2010

At first: I have often tried my best to gain access to CUZO's new record, but I think I have failed. For two years ago, it was already difficult enough to grasp their debut 'Amor y Muerte en la Tercera Fase' ...

CALVARIO (Ixoye) CD

10/12/2010

If you belong to those kind of people with a huge preference for forgotten and obscure epic, doomy, metal bands than Brazil's CAVARIO could be of interest for you. Formed in 1992, 'Ixoye' was the band's only record and was originally released in 1994 via Aqualung. The first thing you notice ...

V.A. (Cowbells & Cobwebs) 2CD

09/10/2010

To be honest, only a handful of stoner/heavy rock compilations are particularly worth releasing. Up until now, there are only a few that have been put together with a wealth of ideas, especially those who include a lot of unknown bands and/or unknown songs from well-known bands. Compilations that ...

CROWNED IN EARTH (Visions Of The Haunted) CD

08/25/2010

'English Doom' is written in large letters on the left side of the CD inlay, and that's exactly what CROWNED IN EARTH delivers on their debut album, released in 2010 by Shadow Kingdom Records. CROWNED IN EARTH is the brainchild of Kevin Lawry, who has played all instruments on ...

CENTURIONS GHOST (Blessed & Cursed In Equal Measure) CD

07/27/2010

Although I really was disappointed by CENTURIONS GHOST's support show for Saint Vitus at the beginning of 2010, their third full-length reconciles me. One reason for this is, that 'Blessed & Cursed In Equal Measure' is more complex and multifaceted than what I had heard in February 2010 ...
