Just as the name is unusual, so too is the music of this Belgium improvisational band. However, iH8 CAMERA is more like a musical collective than a real band and, even if their music had been influenced by early Pink Floyd, Neu! or Ash Ra Tempel they don't belong to the ...
With its fourth album, Maryland's IRON MAN reaches top performance levels. This does not mean that the previous releases have been bad, especially the last one with the title 'Submission' gave us a taste of the indisputable technical abilities of the new ...
It's been seven years ago when I received a copy of IRON GIANT's debut album 'No Longer Sleeping'. This album didn't blew me away, but it was a pretty good start. Heavy guitars, raw vocals and plenty of grooves reminded me to bands like later COC and Orange Goblin and it ...
I'm not sure if IRONWEED have named themselves after the novel by William Kennedy or if they've just smoked some strong grass, but one thing is for sure: the band was born from the ashes of Greatdayforup. 'Indian Ladder' is their debut for Small Stone Records in 2008 and the most ...
Sometimes it’s unbelievable how good Small Stone Record’s taste in good music is. This time it’s the debut album from IOTA, a heavy psych three piece from the USA., which has been released in 2008. ‘Tales‘ consists of five cuts with a different running time between three and almost twenty-four minutes, ...
All my praises goes out to Leaf Hound Records for re-releasing some of the most important Doom Metal albums of all times. Among this classics we also find the two albums of IRON MAN, which have been released on Hellhound Records in the early 90's. Originally released in 1994 'The Passage' ...
The roots of Maryland's mighty IRON MAN go back to the late 70's, when guitarist Alfred Morris III formed Force, but the group never released anything official. Then in 1987, Alfred Morris III decided to start a Black Sabbath tribute band, and a name like IRON MAN couldn't have been more ...
Oh, holy mother nature, what for an impressive piece of epic doom metal do we have here! I’m still overwhelmed from ISOLE’s first album „Forevermore“, but this one is more than a dignified successor. Not only the production is top-notch, but also the complete song arrangements as well as the entire ...
Some of the best Doom Metal bands are coming from England, as for example Solstice, Warning, Solomon Kane or Pagan Altar and now here's IRON HEARSE with their first full-length. In opposite to the other bands, IRON HEARSE are not really a true Doom Metal band, because they added a massive ...
I must confess, that I never was the greatest fan of epic styled Doom Metal. After a while, I can't stand this typical dramatic atmosphere, combined with weak and average heavy metal riffs and whining vocals. Only a few bands as Solitude Aeturnus or Solstice have touched my soul, while others ...
