IRONWEED (Your World Of Tomorrow) CD

07/28/2011

I had a hard time writing a review about 'Your World Of Tomorrow', because once again IRONWEED's heavy brew causes very mixed emotions within me. That was already the case after covering the band's debut 'Indian Ladder', that has also ...

IRON MAN (Dominance) MCD

06/26/2011

It is always great when new Doom Metal from the Maryland/DC area arrives at my home. I can not recall a situation where it was different. And so I was a smiling man during my first listening session of Iron Man’s new EP 'Dominance'. With Iron Man, you mostly ...

INCREDIBLE HOG (Volume 1 + 4) CD

05/06/2011

It was in the early 1990's when I started to discover the less-known heavy bands from the 1970's. I was already familiar with groups as, for example, Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond, Buffalo, Night Sun and Blues Creation, but I know that there was much more to explore in ...

IMAAD WASIF (The Voidist) CD

12/08/2010

This is the first time I have the opportunity to take a closer look at the work of Imaad Wasif, a young and very talented singer and songwriter who lives in Los Angeles. After checking through the press info, I was impressed by his musical biography. Besides other commitments ...

IRON MAN (The Passage) CD/DVD

08/27/2010

To those who may be asking why there's a another re-release of IRON MAN's second album within a relatively short time, I can give a simple answer. Due to the sudden decline of Leaf Hound Records, who released the first edition, it is now almost as difficult to find ...

IRON MAN (Black Night) LP/CD

03/14/2010

There is little to no doubt that IRON MAN's first album had become a classic over the years. Originally released in 1993 by Hellhound Records, 'Black Night' showed once more the musical variety of Maryland's heavy rock/doom scene. Although all bands from that federal state in the USA ...

iH8 CAMERA (s/t) CD

08/02/2009

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 ...

IRON MAN (I Have Returned) CD

08/01/2009

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 ...

IRON GIANT (Creator Of Scars) CD

04/13/2009

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 ...

IRONWEED (Indian Ladder) CD

01/20/2009

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 ...
