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.

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)
