The Australian combo Black Jesus, with former and current members of e.g. Whitehorse, Pneumatic Slaughter and The Berzerker, was formed in 2008 in the city of Melbourne, and during their existence they gained quite some popularity in their home country. An audible result is their live album Fucked…..Live.
Black Demon Rites are a Swedish trio (Helge, Björn and Micke) that signed Misanthropic Generation Media’s roster in order to release their Motmänniskan-recording on tape. It’s the second release for that label, which focuses on the release of cassette-editions only, after På Fortvivlans Krön by Svartä; for the review on this tape, check out the update done on November 10th 2014.
Straddling the line between the soft and the heavy Sweden’s Year Of The Goat. Are slowly turning heads and gathering acolytes. Formed by members of GRIFTEGARD back in 2006, the band released the EP “LUCEM FERRE” in 2011 to a generally positive response? Their sound took the best elements from country mates GHOST and IN SOLITUDE fusing them with a energetic and almost positive rock sound.
My goodness! Even though this Osaka based Japanese outfit only released its debut EP in 2009, and can therefore still be seen as a relatively young band, I'm still wondering slightly why I'd never heard of this wacky collective before!
This Australian Metalcore act was founded in 2008 by frontman Michael Crafter, following his farewell tour with I Killed The Prom Queen (other bands he'd been in, were Carpathian and Bury Your Dead). Guitarist/ backing vocalist Dan Brown, from fellow Melbourne Hardcore Punk act 50 Lions, was the first to be enlisted, with guitarist Adam Harris, bassist Borgs and drummer Matthew Owens following soon after.
Is the tenth studio album by the American stoner rock band! According to the band’s frontman Dave Wyndorf, the album is a “Reimagined” version of their previous album, 2013’s Last Patrol, featuring four new songs and two live tracks. (recorded at the AB in Brussels in 2014).
When I saw that there was a split in between Zarach ‘Baal’ Tharagh and Y’ha-Nthlei, I experienced some form of happiness, I think. I know that happiness is an emotion that can’t kill you, but still I was shocked. Was it good? Was it bad? Did I need to see the psy? Anyway, soon I returned to reality, hailing blasphemy, misanthropy, anger, desolation and melancholy, but deep inside me there was a voice crying out: ‘thank you, Nitroatmosphericum, for this present’…
Let’s be honest: Weed Is Weed as band’s moniker… You might have a clue what this stuff would sound like / would be dealing about, don’t you. Besides, the band consists of members currently or formerly involved with the likes of Earthride, Spirit Caravan, Bobby Liebling’s Ram Family, Pentagram and Land Of Doom, so you cannot deny it anymore: this must be hazy and psychedelic Doom. And indeed, it is!
My knowledge about this project is extremely limited, but I think this is a Russian (one-man) outfit, and that this album is the first under the Teomorph-moniker. Oh yes, the artwork was created by Russian artist Alex Zubowsky, and it’s rather strange and apart.
