UNORTHODOX (Live At Krug's Place) DVD

Actually, I had hoped that Maryland's UNORTHODOX would return to Europe after fifteen years. Their latest album 'Awaken' was reason enough, because it displayed that they have not lost any of their force today and it would've been a pure pleasure to see them on stage again. But it ...

UNION OF SLEEP (s/t) LP

Germany's UNION OF SLEEP has delivered one of the most promising debuts in 2009. Unimpressed by current trends, their first record is a filthy, dirt-encrusted, hard-rockin' bastard that is not easy to pigeonhole. Some people call it doom and others say sludge, but apparently their heavy sound is caught ...

UFO GESTAPO (s/t) MCD

Outside it's getting spring but the French wrecking crew UFO GESTAPO brings back a filthy, rainy day in November with their debut EP that has been released through Calculon Records in 2008. Here's no room left for any life-affirming principles, and song titles like 'Fear Weed', 'Peace Crap' or 'Commander Mindfuck' ...

UNORTHODOX (Awaken) CD

Finally, after fourteen years, Maryland’s UNORTHODOX is back with a new album in 2008! Although the band was almost still around, playing numberless shows in Maryland during the last years, it seemed to me that there was no big interest from founder Dale Flood to record another album. But at first ...

UPWARDS OF ENDTIME (From Genesis To Apocalypse And Beyond) CD

Vocalist Phil Swanson belong to those kind of musicians, who are involved into a couple of different bands and projects and I'm surprised that he still has enough time for other things in life. One of this bands is UPWARDS OF ENDTIME, and once again Phil Swanson's characteristic voice is adding ...

UFOMAMMUT (Lucifer Songs) 10"/CD-DVD

When you combine sonic brutality with black psychedelia, one of the results can be something comparable to Italian’s UFOMAMMUT. Their extreme brute heaviness is based on monstrous and deformed Black Sabbath-riffs , which are enriched with an amount of special sound f/x, vocal samples and merciless grooves, while the distant vocals ...

UNEARTHLY TRANCE (In The Red) LP/CD

NYC's occult fanatics are back with their second album, and I can report that they are absolutely "in the red". Not only soundwise, but also emotional although emotionally disturbed is maybe more appropriate for this scary vibes. But no matter, what kind of katharsis the band had gone through in the ...

UNEARTHLY TRANCE (s/t) 7"

This is the number five in the Southern Lord singles club, released 2001 and this time UNEARTHLY TRANCE are featured with two tracks. "Lord Humanless Awakens" is the first one, and it's hard to pigeonhole the music of this band. It's an uncompromising and intense mixture, enriched with weighty and sludgy ...

UHRA PENTE (s/t) MCD-R

This American band was formerly known under the name BLACK MOUNTAIN, but after a change in the line-up the band decided to turn into UHRA PENTE. Here we have their first 5 track demo and the band plays an interesting mixture,which consists some slow rolling, ultra-heavy riffs and a weird, psychedelic ...

UFOMAMMUT (Satan) MCD-R

Italy has to offer a lot of great Doom/Psych bands and musicians. PAUL CHAIN or WARHEAD for example or UFOMAMMUT. This ultraheavy psychedelic trio comes up with this six song presentation CD. And it`s awsome! UFOMAMMUT create their own giant and the name describes the music very good , I think. ...
