FLUTWACHT (Herbstrost) CD

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

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

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

'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

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 ...

FISTULA (Inverted Black Star) CD-R

At some point in 2007, Ohio's FISTULA met up with Steve Makita from Apartment 213, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Lockweld. The end result are two new discs, 'Lessons In Lamentations' and this one, which has been released by Crucial Bliss/Crucial Blast one year later. 'Inverted Black Star' is a really fiercely chunk, ...

FORGED IN FLAME (s/t) MCD

A new US-band with their first self-released 4-track EP in 2008 and the info sheet says, that they are sure to become a staple in the Cleveland music scene and beyond. Well, ok, this five guys know what they want, but we all know that it's a long way to the ...

FARFLUNG (A Wound In Eternity) 2LP/CD

Tommy Grenas, founder of FARFLUNG, belongs definitely to the musicians who kept the spirit of spacerock alive since the early 1980's. His first project was Swamprats, closely followed by Pressurehed and not to forget Nik Turner's Space Ritual just to name a few. He also worked together with Helios Creed's Chrome, ...

FALL OF THE IDOLS (The Séance) CD

There was a considerable buzz in Doom Metal circles in 2006 when FALL OF THE IDOLS released their debut full-length, but ‘The Séance‘ trounces it in all departments. Sturdier songs and a monstrous filthy production: the new album sounds as if the band has recorded it in an enormous cavern. For ...

FALL OF THE IDOLS (The Womb Of The Earth) CD

I fucking love I Hate Records! Let me tell you why: Ola and Peter (label owner) have not only a good taste in music, but also a good hand for picking out talented groups which are representing the variety in doom metal (except of Burning Saviours, which are more 70‘s heavy ...
