ELDER (Dead Roots Stirring) 2LP/CD
12/14/2011
2011 saw the follow-up to ELDER's debut album from 2008, which already showed the band to have great potential. With 'Dead Roots Stirring' the three-piece really took it to the next level for them, you can feel they have grown and matured as a band. The five songs on the album ...

EVANGELIST (In Partibus Infidelium) CD
08/21/2011
Poland had not yet come to my attention as a land of traditional Doom Metal. When you think about it, it is strange that there is not much more Doom (the epic style in particular), considering Poland has a strong catholic heritage as, for example, Italy where the country's ...

END OF LEVEL BOSS (Eklectric) CD
08/13/2011
I remember my first live experience with End Of Level Boss very well. Me and a friend of mine went into a small pub/club in Münster with a stage barely big enough to position musicians and equipment on it. I was wondering who booked them, but hey, there were ...

EARTHRIDE (Something Wicked) 2LP/CD
06/28/2011
Now you probably wonder why there's another review of the third EARTHRIDE album in Cosmic Lava, but the answer is simple: here, we finally have the 2011 release via Doomentia Records, whereas the first edition has been released thru EARTHRIDE's own record label Earth Brain. Well, actually Thorsten's (aka ...

ENOCH (The Hierophant) CD
04/23/2011
Artistic freedom still exists and ENOCH definitely makes use of it. It seems as if there are no stylistic and musical restrictions on 'The Hierophant' which includes more surprises than a Kinder Easter Egg. I am therefore wondering how to give you some personal impressions, because sometimes music is ...

ELECTRIC WIZARD (Black Masses) 2LP/CD
03/29/2011
I think if you want, you could write something like "this sounds a bit like Electric Wizard“ in quite a number of reviews of newer heavy, doomy albums these days without fear of being wrong. And with this album one can do so without any bad conscience, 'cause 'Black ...

EHNAHRE (Taming The Cannibals) CD
01/26/2011
If you're a fan of adventurous and challenging music, just listen to the new album from the Boston based band EHNAHRE. It's a genre-busting album that doesn't sit still, showing the influences of free jazz, death metal, free improvisation, and sludge. Due to this reason, 'Taming The Cannibals' ...

EVOKEN / BENEATH THE FROZEN SOIL (s/t) Split CD
12/16/2010
Tranquil, sinister, slowly - growls that seems to emerge from the bottom...vague, incomprehensible - screams from someone who has seen barbarity. Music for those who feel the curse, for those who cannot look away. “The deathlike radiance of collapsing stars cast prophetic shadows upon my birth. […] The ...

EARTHRIDE (Something Wicked) CD
09/13/2010
When I think DOOM, I think America immediately and that small part of the American east coast that is Maryland, and the D.C. area very often. Do not get me wrong, there are other parts of America with great bands as well, but that area has been very fertile when it ...

ELECTRIC RED (In This Machine) CD
09/08/2010
Anyone who thinks that Buzzville Records is only limited to bands who revive the spirit of 1970's influenced heavy rock (or metal) has to think again, because Ireland's ELECTRIC RED deviate from the label's band roster. Their debut album 'In This Machine', released in summer 2010, is a ...
