KORPERSCHWACHE (Evil Walks) CD

04/17/2011

Outside it's a sunny spring day, but 'Evil Walks' gives me a cold and dystopian feeling and that is not a bad thing in itself. Not because I hate sunny spring days, but because it shows that KORPERSCHWACHE do everything right on their life-threatening and bleak mission. But this ...

KING GIANT (Southern Darkness) CD

12/21/2010

The album title holds, what it promises. Most songs have a groovy, southern, grinding vibe, backed up with the typical throaty vocals. Nevertheless, in contrast to the godfathers of southern rock, KING GIANT have their blend enriched with a heavy load of metal, preferably the doomier version. The ...

KING REMEDY (Self Destruction) CD-R

10/24/2010

Two Finnish guys have discovered their penchant for delta blues, vintage rock 'n' roll and heavy rock and decided to form a band in 2008. Of course, this is the story of KING REMEDY, a two-man band from Pohja, comprising of Antti Huttunen (vocals, bass) and Jussi Konttinen (guitar). ...

KELLY CARMICHAEL (Queen Fareena) CD

08/06/2009

Ex-Pentagram/Internal Void guitarist Kelly Carmichael returns with his second solo recording dedicated to the blues. In contrast to his first solo album 'Old Stock', 'Queen Fareena' has taken on a more ragtime, country blues, and dixieland cast. Once again, he's supported by Jean-Paul Gaster (Clutch, The Bakerton Group, Wino), a highly ...

KILAUEA (s/t) MCD-R

12/14/2007

Named after a Hawaiian volcano, this heavy US-trio from Portland, OR, isn't as powerful as a volcanic eruption, but they make a very good start with this self-released five-tracker. This two guys plus one woman are playing 1970's inspired Hardrock with a doomy guitar-tone, fronted by clear, but rough male vocals. ...

KUBE (Stockholm Syndrom) CD

11/30/2007

It’s always good to hear, when a band leaves the typical „stonerrock“ blueprint behind. If not for you, than it’s always good for me, because it’s no fun to listen to ten bands, who are all sounding the same. Ok, this is not only a negative „stonerrock“ phenomenon, and here’s not ...

KELLY CARMICHAEL (Old Stock) CD

11/01/2004

It no secret that outstanding heavy players like Kelly Carmichael, Victor Griffin, Dale Flood or Scott 'Wino' Weinrich have been strongly influenced by Blues and Jazz. Just listen close to their works and you will agree with me. Kelly Carmichael, guitarist of Internal Void and Pentagram, is the first one who's ...

KATHAARIA (s/t) Demo Tape

07/29/2004

At first I must admit, that I´m absolutley not into Black Metal. But a very good friend of mine is part of this three-piece and so I will review this four song tape. It was released in October 2000 and recorded on a seven track machine. The sound is ok and ...

KHANATE (s/t) LP/CD

07/15/2004

With this debut KHANATE have released one of the most intensive pieces of music in 2001. This is not the kind of album, you can listen to while cleaning your kitchen. Just sit down and lose yourself in the bizarre low-end world of this album. Formed in autumn 2000 in New ...

KARMA TO BURN (Almost Heathen) CD

07/15/2004

The Riff-Rock machine rolls again with ten new songs and this is their strongest and best release. Again, there´s no singer in the line-up and so everything is focused on the powerfull and sometimes heavy sludgy riffs. Due to the fact, that KTB are an instrumental band, they stick out of ...
