FUZZ MANTA (Opus II) LP/CD
09/09/2011
FUZZ MANTA belongs to the sort of heavy rock bands which makes one forget that we live in the year 2011. While listening to the band's second album 'Opus II', it does rather seem as if it's still 1972. This also means that innovation is a foreign word for ...

FREEDOM HAWK (Holding On) CD
08/10/2011
It is almost impossible to write a review about FREEDOM HAWK without mentioning Ozzy Osbourne. This is due primarily to the lead vocals of guitarist T.R. Morton whose style reminds you immediately to the first frontman of Black Sabbath. Therefore, he is in good company with Sheavy vocalist ...

FIREBIRD (Double Diamond) LP/CD
03/01/2011
FIREBIRD return with the best album in their career, and I mean this very seriously. The times of early 1970's blues rock are almost gone, or to be more precise, it plays a subordinate role on the new record. Instead, the band moved forward on the timeline and is ...

F.T.W. (A Tribute To Gideon Smith) CD
12/10/2010
Not everyone deserves a tribute compilation but for sure Gideon Smith. Why? Quite simply because he's not only a gifted musician and songwriter but also a very good author. His first publication 'Way of the Outlaw Spirit' was one of the most inspiring books I've read during the last five ...

FISTULA (Goat) CD
09/07/2010
Welcome to the darker and unpleasant side of spending life in the city! With 'Goat', Ohio's FISTULA definitely have now reached a new level of poorly digestible and unbelievably filthy sludge. It is astonishing how they manage over and over again to reinvent their heavy sound with the effect ...

FLUTWACHT (Herbstrost) CD
01/08/2010
It is once again time to enter the world of noise/industrial and this time it's one of the latest albums from Germany's FLUTWACHT, released by the excellent Japanese experimental label Deserted Factory. FLUTWACHT is the solo project of Daniel Simon, who managed to create a rich and varied body of work ...

FORSAKEN (After The Fall) CD
06/22/2009
Astonishingly enough, one of the best epic doom metal albums in 2009 comes from the small Republic of Malta or more specifically from FORSAKEN. This Maltese band is no newcomer and a fairly well-known name in international doom metal circles. I still remember that gig at the first Doom Shall Rise ...

FIR BOLG (Paganism) MCD
04/13/2009
Normally, black metal isn't a big issue here in Cosmic Lava, but sometimes I receive a package from a band who deserves attention. On this occasion it's the French one-man band FIR BOLG that was founded by guitarist/vocalist Dagoth, who is also in the melodic black metal band Assacrentis. 'Paganism' is ...

FISTULA (Lessons In Lamentations) CD-R
03/01/2009
'Lessons In Lamentations' dates from the same session within which 'Inverted Black Star' has been recorded, too. As a memento of that session I would like to remind you that FISTULA met with Steve Makita (Apartment 213, Lockweld, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) in the studio to record some really uncomfortable heavy noise. All ...

FRANCIS BAKIN (Conversation With Francis Bakin) CD
01/20/2009
Does anyone remember the heavy rock band Bottom? I really hope so, because they had a very unique style, what sets them apart from all the Kyuss copies at the beginning of this decade. During their existance from 1997 until 2005 Bottom released three albums, which presented a band that never ...
