SEAMOUNT (Light II Truth) CD
It's about time to use the word underrated, because that is what SEAMOUNT are. Already the self-titled debut revealed the high potential of this German-American band whose heavy and virtuoso sound is influenced by a variety of different styles. Elements of 1970's hardrock are cleverly blended with Sabbath-esque ...

SUBARACHNOID SPACE (Eight Bells) CD
SUBARACHNOID SPACE have been around since 1995, but unfortunately this is my first meeting with their completely improvised heavy psychedelic rock. Well, better late than never, because it's really worth paying attention to their multilayered sound. The history of this US-band is long and complicated so I will ...

SUN GODS IN EXILE (Black Light White Lines) CD
It's not often that I'm particularly impressed by a new band, but the debut album from SUN GODS IN EXILE hit the bullseye. Since the day I received my last promo package from Small Stone Records it's almost impossible for me to get this disc out of my player. ...

SOURVEIN / BLOOD ISLAND RAIDERS (s/t) Split 7"
First, I have to say that it is really great that Calculon Records are among those record label which send abroad promo vinyl copies. I really do appreciate this fact, especially because Calculon Records is a small label with not much money at their disposal. With this heavyweight vinyl ...

SONS OF OTIS (Exiled) CD
Personally, I believe that the bands debut 'SpaceJumboFudge' is still a very underrated album. At that time in 1996 there was no other band around comparable to Canadian's SONS OF OTIS. Well, there was nothing new about mixing different influences like sludge, doom and blues together, but they've combined it with ...

SOMBER VIEW (Flight Into The Imagination) MCD
The name of this German band is still unknown, but maybe some of you've noticed the name of bassplayer Eric Asmussen before, because he's also in the line-up of Wytchcraft. Before that, he and guitarist/vocalist Jürgen Cichon were in Twilight Pictures, but this progressive doom outfit only released a few demos. ...

STONE AXE (s/t) LP/CD
After the successful 7" release in 2008 on Roadburn Records, Tony Reed wasn't lazy and although he's been busy touring and recording with his main band Mos Generator (sadly, they broke-up), there was enough time to record the first full-length album for his band STONE AXE. Once again, he's not only ...

SANTERIA (Year Of The Knife) CD
I've been a fan of SANTERIA since I received their last album 'House of the Dying Sun' in 2003. Hailing from the swamplands of Louisiana, this band gives psychedelic mysticism back to the soul of hardrock and beautify the music with Indian ragas, delta blues and cajun folk. The result is ...

SUPERCHRIST (Headbanger) LP/CD
Whenever I'm bored of all those bands who pretend how much they hate the world, and everything else then the second last album from SUPERCHRIST is the perfect choice. Bassist/vocalist Chris Black and crew are around since 1998 and have established the name SUPERCHRIST as an absolute term in metal underground ...
