MISTY MORNING (Saint Shroom) 12"

12/13/2011

This is Misty Morning's second release on Doomanoid Records. I must admit that I do not own their debut EP. I had listened to a few songs and samples online but it seems like it did not catch me enough to get the EP. I think I remember thinking "Nice but ...

MEN EATER (Gold) CD

09/25/2011

This is just the sort of modern sound that bores me to death. Believe me, I listened to it many times, forcing myself to give it a chance even though I had to constantly fight the urge to turn it off, but it never did grow on me. Hailing ...

MEMORY DRIVEN (Animus) CD

09/07/2011

First off: MEMORY DRIVEN's newest album, 'Animus', is certainly nothing short of brilliant. There is no doubt that guitarist/vocalist Dennis Cornelius is a master at the top of his game. His work with Revelation and Place Of Skulls has been heralded but I cannot help but feel that he still ...

MASTEROID / SLUGSTAIN (Venomous) Split MCD

08/11/2011

It's nice to see that Finnish doom brethren SLUGSTAIN have returned, because their 2010 demo really impressed me and since then I watched out for new material. Well, here it is. But there's another band they have brought with them and ...

MEAN MOTHER (Rock-N-Roll Shakedown) CD

08/11/2011

Hailing from Detroit, MEAN MOTHER make it easy for the listener because the title of their first album contains an appropriate reference to the musical content. It's time for some good old rock 'n' roll. Having said that, MEAN MOTHER do not offer the traditional 1950's version, but ...

MISTY RANGE (s/t) CD

07/03/2011

The debut album of Norwegian psychedelic duo MISTY RANGE is too wonderful to describe in words. Listening to this CD almost takes you to another place, much as a great book does. At least, that was what I had in mind when I first heard MISTY RANGE. Nothing has changed ...

MIRROR QUEEN (From Earth Below) CD

05/13/2011

Spawned from the demise of New York's heavy rockers, Kreisor, MIRROR QUEEN are a new band and 'From Earth Below' is their debut full-length, released by Tee Pee Records in April 2011. Since I personally never heard of Kreisor, I can't draw comparisons between both bands but that ...

MODERN DAY MOONSHINE (Refuge) CD

03/13/2011

At the end of 2010, I received this wonderful album from Ripple Music and since then I do not want to miss it. MODERN DAY MOONSHINE has nothing at all to do with heavy riffs or downtuned guitars. Instead, the listener is invited to a stroll through U.S. American ...

MOTORJESUS (Wheels Of Purgatory) LP/CD

01/13/2011

Unfortunately, 'Wheels Of Purgatory' is just as polished and clean as the Pontiac on front of the cover. That's a pity, because actually MOTORJESUS do almost everything right. Christoph Birx is a talented singer and his expressive style increases the value of recognition, even though he reminds me more ...

MIRROR OF DECEPTION (A Smouldering Fire) CD

11/10/2010

In the 20th year of their existence, and who would have thought that a German Doom band would slow the pace of Metal down so many years, Mirror Of Deception present their fourth album called 'A Smouldering Fire', which in this respect is a damn fitting name for this album. ...
