What can I write about this timeless masterpiece, that hasn't been written before? This is a re-release on TOLOTTA REC of the first OBSESSED album, now remastered from MD sound-wizard Chris Kozlowski. As a bonus you can hear ten live songs from February 28th, 1984 recorded in Maryland in a rough sound quality, but that doesn't matter, because it's a legendary moment in doom history, where the band performs some never before released tracks...
Well, it's not easy to describe the beauty of the six long instrumental songs, which are rich of free flowing structures where every instruments plays equal to the others. So I want to start with some facts about TMKoC...
The new album contains eleven tracks and in opposite to the forerunner, "Simsalabim" is much straighter and harder. No big experiments, this is heavy straight forward Rock'n'Roll Metal without any compromises...

After the the "Rocketcrash" 10" EP here we have the album debut from this fine Swedish band. Maybe most people will know them, because of the fact that their singer is Spice, the bassist and singer of SPIRITUAL BEGGARS...

If you've read between the lines of the Cosmic Lava, than you know that aside my deep love for ultra-heavy Rock (Doom/Sludge etc. ) , I got also a big passion for the early rock history of Detroit...
Once again Small Stone Records is proving us their good taste, and so they have released the Pack's second album. And this one smokes from the intro until the last dirty fuzz-driven powerchord has been played on the last doom-laden track "JJim Beam and Good Green"...
The debut "Divine Propaganda" received world-wide the best critics and was welcomed with a lot of enthusiasm. But to speak for myself I didn't agree to most of the other writers...
I thought, that pollen were something to smoke and get high, but this time it's the name of an US-band, which comes up with their six song debut on Maduro Records. THE POLLEN got a very varied sound, that ranges from heavy 60's influenced garage rock to fuzzed-out heaviness in the vein of Nebula f...
Before THE HIDDEN HAND issued their full length "Divine Propaganda" on Meteor City Records/Exile On Mainstream Records, their first life sign was this excellent collectors item, released on the small Maryland-based label McCarthyism Records. The track "De-Sensitized" is divided into two different parts; first one knows to convince with good lyrics, while the flipside is all instrumental...
