Brant Bjork "Gods & goddesses" LP - Stoner - 2010 Buy It now
"if
you have never picked a album from Brant as yet, this may be the pefect
album to start with.(...)I wouldn't like to call "Gods And Goddesses"
his best work but it is certainly in his top three and one that will
please his fans and bring some more in for the ride. Another great album
from Brant Bjork. 9/10 (DoomMantia)


Image
ATOLAH "Relics" CD - Raw Sludge Doom - 2009 - Buy It now
"Crude,
sludgy and raw instrumental Doom-metal from OZ. Their riffage is very
basic, extremely heavy and solid like a steel mallet. Superb bass lines
to add. Slow and heavy music for those who appreciate their music to
hurt to the bone." (Psychedoomelic)
With Ex-DEVILISH ERA member.

Image
Devious "Domain" Second hand CD - Thrash Death - 2007 - Buy It now
"The
result is one of the most balanced Death Metal albums in ages. It has
plenty of blasting, but it's never so fast that the body stops
responding. It's technical, but the riffs are memorable. It's Brutal,
but flashes of melody constantly shine through, 8/10" (Metal injection)

Image
ARKTAU EOS "Scorpion Milk" Cd-r - Dark Ambient - 2006 - Buy it now
'Scorpion
Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best
apprehended in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It
is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion,
the candle-bearer who responds to no call but Silence itself. The music
can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only
reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the
"Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of
primal Power invigorating the ACT of contemplation. (Esoteric sanctuary)

Eindig "Doodschrift"Tape - Depressive Black Metal / Doom Drone - 2008 - Buy it now
"Eindig sounds like if you poked them they might actually Hurt you." (Madeloud)

TROUBLE "Simple mind condition" gatefold LP - Cult Psychedelic stoner/doom - 2007 (2010 re-release) - Buy It now
"So, Trouble are back, and they delivered an Absolute winner here" (alternative-zine.com)

Image
BEN NASH "The seventh goodbye" CD - Acoustic guitar / Cosmic atmospheric music - 2008 - Buy It now
"a
real beauty. Throughout there is mostly Ben's acoustic guitar picking -
elegiac ragas similar to James Blackshaw. Side 2 opens with the
meditative "Smoke & Flattery" - singing bowls, grizzled oms and
incense-wreathed atmosphere. The rest of the side continues in
cosmically dazed fashion with the next track sounding like Led Zep's
more enchanted and folkier moments on the falling into the bliss of
sleep. Highly recommended." - (BOA MELODY)

Istidraj "Blasphemous ritual" Tape - Raw Black Metal from Singapore - 2006 - Buy it now
"Istidraj
is one of the harshest, most satisfying Black Metal bands I've ever
heard. These Singaporean sickos take the punkish, lo-fi, abbrasive
approach (...) Blasphemous Ritual is about pure, balls-out harshness.
It's a bit punk and silly" (grimmack, metal-archive)

Asunder / GRAVE AT SEA "s/t" Lp - Cult Doom split! - 2005 - Buy It now


"Beautiful gatefold version of this mammoth split. Graves at Sea
conjures up more of their brand of gutteral doom that only the desert
can produce.
While Asunder churns out a goliath slap of sub sonic depression.
Features amazing artwork (drawings and paintings -- including lyrics!)
from David
D'Andrea (Asunder, High On Fire, Yeti)." (Omega Order)

OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US "Painful stories told.." Second Hand CD - Sludge / Doom - 2008 - Buy It
now



"OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US is an excellent Austrian Sludge Doom band
with post Core influences. Wonderful acoustic sounds, pitch-black sound
samples,
and the mourning and conjuring vocals of the two singers. Rage, Sadness,
Bitterness, suffering and Hate are only a part of the emotions that are
processed and thus channelled with OSDOU." (PsycheDOOMelic)








DOPEFIGHT / DEAD Existence "Split" Cd-r - doom / sludge- 2009 - Buy it now


DOPEFIGHT : "The band main inspiration is the mighty THC so the
comparison to "Bongzilla, Sleep and other Stoner/Doom bud worshipers
will come as
obvious but in amongst those grooves there is a good dose of "Iron
Monkey" and "Grief" sounding tortured Doom." (Doommantia)


DEAD EXISTENCE : Harsh being a word that sums up the hungover
crawl-to-the-bowl of London's misanthropic sludge sect Dead Existence
perfectly. What
else is there to say? Listen hard and feel your bowels churn in
sympathy" (Terrorizer Magazine)

Mood "slow down" CD - Doom Metal - 2005 - Buy It now
"What's
Mood spelled backward? Classic trad doom that would have felt right in
place with in the golden years' of Rise Above. The 2nd album from these
cult doom legends - gem like doom in the vein of Sabbath, Obsessed and
even a bit of Cathedral. Now, the long time sold album of Mood (pre.
Wall of Sleep) called “Slow Down” is available again in a limited
version to the public." (PsycheDOOMelic)

Image
SANCTUS DAEMONEON "Grey Metropolis" 2nd Hand CD - Funeral Black/Doom - 2008 - Buy It now
"Grey
Metropolis" is unnervingly eerie and unhastily experimental. It
possesses a distinct underground feel; it sounds Sinister; and it looks
great. The music produced by these Danes is unique and worthy of your
attention. So please, stop waiting for Mayhem or Dodheimsgard or whoever
to deliver another decent album and buy something genuinely obscure and
creepy instead." (Archaic Mag)

consume it without even a hint of reluctance. It’s what the doctor
prescribed." (global domination)





Black Shape Of Nexus / KODIAK Lp - Doom / Drone - 2010 - Buy It now

"These are two of the most intelligent and interesting Drone doom
metal bands of the present. They are both from Germany and they build a
modern Doom Metal under down-tempo lines and ambient elements. This
split is totally substantial. Approximately 40 minutes of noise and
post-metal slow motion melodies." (Noizine)





Grand Magus "S/t" CD - Doom Metal - 2001 - Buy It now

For the ones who missed this cult debut album! Re-mastered and
Re-packaged by Rise Above Records in 2006 with two bonus tracks after
being out of print.

"Grand Magus’ self-titled album set the standard for things to come.
Inspired by Black Sabbath’s groovier side, these dudes set Down some
psychedelic doom with facets of Stoner rock.(...) Okay, so every track
is good, making for full spins every time the CD is in your player."
(Examiner.com)





Thou "Tyrant" CD - Doom / Sludge- 2007 - Buy It now

"Tyrant" is the astonishing debut album from New Orleans doom /
sludge songsmiths, Thou. While retaining an incredible sense of melodic
& dynamic songwriting, Thou have Unleashed one of the heaviest and

sludge. Powerful lyrics delivered with Scathing vocals seal the deal,
Thou have proven their value in a time when slow & heavy bands are a
dime a dozen. This is only the beginning.
