A VENIR !

"World of doom", le premier album du groupe de Doom Metal traditionnel SURTR sortira le 2 mai (France, UK, Eire) & le 29 avril (rest of the world).
SURTR
crée une sombre atmosphère sur leur premier album World Of Doom. Le
trio français peint le morose tableau du monde, utilisant les marques de
fabrique des pionniers du doom metal. Ils posent les bases d'émeutes
prêtes à éclater, à travers un concept-album utilisant une analogie
entre la légende du géant SURTR et les sociétés modernes.
La
précédente démo éponyme sortie en Janvier 2010 a reçu de bons retours :
8/10 (DoomMantia), 16/20 (MagicFireMusic), 13/20 (Temple of Doom),
71/100 (Metal-Revolution)
"Surtr
manage to deliver enough good stuff to be worth your support, and enough
neck-breaking slow-paced riffs to make your head headbang nervously”
(Doom-Metal.com)

Artwork & layout by Christoph “Stripe” Schinzel (ANVIL, COUNT RAVEN, SODOM)
Pour les fans de BLACK SABBATH, SAINT VITUS, REVEREND BIZARRE

Week 06


Isis "The Red sea" LP - Sludge - 1999 - Buy It now
Tri-color vinyl limited edition to 370 copies.
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.
Before attaining Celestial heights, Isis plumbed the deepest
and densest of musical depths with The Red Sea. Punishing and
unrelenting, The Red Sea marked a new chapter in ISIS' mosquito-driven,
conceptual universe. Incorporating nods to both vintage Earth and the
Melvins, it was the two new "song" offerings that marked ISIS' growth
beyond that of mere comparisons and demonstrated the grandeur of what
was to follow. " (Second Nature)


Jex Thoth "s/t" LP - Doom Metal / Psychedelic rock - 2009 - Buy It now
So
I highly recommend this album. It's all well-done and not once do I get
the feeling that the band is approaching the style ironically. This is
late 60s/early70s music performed by people that (I imagine) Worship
that era and take its sounds very seriously. If you like Jex's singing,
and proto-doom and psychedelic music in general, there should be Nothing
keeping you from loving this. (Metalreview.com)


Candlemass "No Sleep 'til Athens" 2xLP - Epic Doom - 2010 - Buy it now
Coming as 2xLP on blue and white wax! Live recorded in 2009 in Athens.


SATURNALIA TEMPLE "Ur" CD - Great Doom Metal w/ members of Therion and Kaamos - 2007 - Buy it now
Ultra
slow, sluggish and heavy psychedelic/spacey music, one of the top new
doom bands around, Saturnalia Temple features members of Therion and
Kaamos. This is the debut digipack release of the Swedish doomsters, and
a must for everyone into Pentagram, Electric Wizard, Black Widow...
Saturnalia Temple is not merely riding the retro-trip, as so many are
today, but is a Journey of BLACK MUSICAL INITIATION from the QLIPHOTIC
spheres, a timeless chant channelled into the MUSIC-RITUAL. The effects
of their CHANTINGS, vibrations and Hellish rhythms have been cast in
IRON by the underworld smithery of TUBAL KAIN. They are here to follow
the Ancient TRADITION of shamanic Trance, Hard Rock and blues, thus
making a lot of noise, spreading general Hypnosis and Evil VIBRATIONS.
(PsycheDOOMelic)


DEEP Sleep "Manic Euphoria" 7" - HxC/Punk - 2007 - Buy It now
Like
just about the Entirety of the Grave Mistake roster, Deep Sleep play
early `80s hardcore, though with more of an adolescent, scratchy vocal
front and a much less abrasive coating. They're often compared to
Descendents, and while I wouldn't have thought of the comparison myself,
it makes sense to draw a parallel to Descendents' early work upon
listening, though of course without the noticeably poppy or upbeat edge.
Maybe a bit of Jerry's Kids is in here as well. (punknews.org)

Black Sabbath "into the void" 7" - Doom/Heavy - 1971 - Buy It now


Gods of Doom Metal! 2 tracks recorded live in 1971 in England. Great sound. With insert.








Titan "Sweet dreams" LP - Psyché/Space/prog metal-rock - 2010 - Buy It now


"A psychedelic Journey to the Heart of the sun! For fans of Hawkwind, The Sword & MONSTER MAGNET"


Brooklyn’s Titan specialize in crafting epic rock jams; smokey,
sprawling stretches of sweet riffs, swirling synths, and all the right
kinds of rock
bombast. They have an instinctual grasp on Tension and release, with
each song building to several emotional crescendos before ebbing, only
to repeat
in the most compelling of ways. Sweet Dreams, and especially the track
“Wooded Altar Beyond the Wander”, prove that Titan is one of America’s
finest
rock exports.








Thergothon "Stream from the heavens" CD - The originators of the Funeral Doom genre! - 1994 - Buy it now


Thergothon disbanded in 1993, before the eventual 1994 release of
‘Stream From the Heavens’ though over the years the band has earned a
cult status in
the underground through this single album. In the mid-later part of the
90's the "Funeral Doom" genre emerged. Thergothon was deemed as one of
the
originators of the sound & style and an important Cornerstone for
the whole genre.








My Dying Bride "Anti-diluvian Chronicles" 3CD - Goth Doom Death - 2005 - Buy it now


This 3 CD set contains a comprehensive collection of the band's work, spanning their whole career.

MOSE GIGANTICUS "Gift horse" CD - Progressive Stoner, Synth sludge! Killer debut album! - 2010 - Buy It now
"Progressive
Stoner metal? Synth Sludge? Whatever label you slap on this baby, you
can’t deny it’s an interesting oddity." (Angry Metal Guy)
The
brainchild of Philadelphia’s Matt Garfield, MOSE GIGANTICUS pulls from
an extensive range of Hard Rock, metal, and punk influences to create a
unique and modern record with their Relapse debut ‘Gifthorse’. “The Left
Path”, “Last Resort”, “White Horse”, and “Days of Yore” brings together
driving, Power riffs and low-end heaviness with expansive electronics,
synth elements, and spirited attitude. ‘Gift Horse’ is as infectious as
it is timeless, and a massive debut from an oncoming force-to-be
reckoned with. (Relapse)
