JEREMY IRONS & THE RATGANG MALIBUS (Bloom) CD

08/08/2011

Behind the strange band name hides one of the best 1960's/1970's retro rock bands of current times. Instead of burying the listener under a wall of heavy fuzzy riffs, Sweden's JEREMY IRONS & THE RATGANG MALIBUS place greater value on well elaborated arrangements, which results in eight tasteful songs. ...

JPT SCARE BAND (Acid Blues Is The White Man's Burden)

10/11/2010

Wow! Within a short period of time, it is once again time to write another review about a new JPT SCARE BAND album. Well, it is not the case that I like to complain about this situation. Since I personally have a strong preference for Kansas City's power trio, I ...

JPT SCARE BAND (Rumdum Daddy) CD

09/18/2010

In 2009, two years after the release of their latest album 'Jamm Vapour', JPT SCARE BAND return with a new record and show the world again that they haven't lost their magic after almost forty years. As in the case of 'Jamm Vapour', their heavy acid rock is, today, not ...

JPT SCARE BAND (Sleeping Sickness) CD

08/27/2010

JPT SCARE BAND is definitely a well-known name among many aficionados of obscure or unknown heavy rock bands from the 1970's. Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, the power trio has developed a heavy sound during the mid-1970's that was dominated by improvisation and long monster jams. They were rooted ...

JAMESON RAID (Just As The Dust Had Settled) CD

08/02/2010

It's quite amazing to see how much unknown bands from the NWOBHM period have been unearthed by Shadow Kingdom Records. And the best part of it all is that these bands really do deserve it. The same also apllies to JAMESON RAID, an English group that has been formed ...

JEX THOTH (Witness) MCD

05/10/2010

Up until now, JEX THOTH have been very busy in 2010. A few weeks ago, the band finished their first European tour, including an appearance at Doom Shall Rise VIII and two shows at Roadburn. At the same time, I Hate Records released 'Witness' that consists of three ...

JOE HASSELVANDER (Road Kill/Lady-Killer) CD

03/15/2009

I don't think Joe Hasselvander needs an introduction. The time he spent with Death Row/Pentagram is well-known among all Doom Metal fans, but he also was a long-term member in Raven and played together with countless bands like Blue Cheer, Cathedral, Phantom Lord, Black Manta and many more. All that are ...

JEX THOTH (s/t) CD

06/06/2008

Everybody should know by now, that this band issued their first release under the monicker TOTEM, so I don't have to mention it. Now in the year 2008 the long-anticipated album is finally out, and again it has been released by I ...

JPT SCARE BAND (Jamm Vapour) CD

03/03/2008

JPT SCARE BAND is one of the most obscure bands of the 70's, who never released an official record in their brief period of existance. In the early 70's their heavy sound perfectly embodies the old-fashioned term 'acid rock', which was used as a description for long psychedelic-drenched guitar freak-outs and ...

JET JAGUAR (Space Anthem) 2LP/CD

01/26/2008

Once again Black Widow Records prove their good taste in discovering unknown space rock bands. This time it's the US-band JET JAGUAR and their album 'Space Anthem' will definitely appeal fans of later Hawkwind, Robert Calvert, Alan Davey as well as the early solo-records of Nik Turner. So it's not surprising ...
