NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.10

Image

ATOMIC CRIES - SUSPENDED BETWEEN THE MOUTH OF GOD AND THE FIST OF MAN
"We are Atomic Cries, and since 2010 we have played Primitive Doom Metal exclusively. No flares, no bongs, no irony, no pseudo-occult nonsense. We worship at the altar of Armando Acosta. We love Saint Vitus, Trouble and Black Sabbath, but we sound like none of them. This 7" contains two tracks of uncompromising, slow downer-rock that refuses to be easily categorised. We are Sal Do Caixao (Lead/Rhythm Electric/Acoustic Guitars & Vocals) and Andy Lippoldt (Drums/Organ/Bass/Backing Vocals)."

Image

DOOMDOGS/WAR INJUN - SPLIT
Maryland meets Sweden on this clash of two bands obsessed with classic doom metal, both presenting new tracks. Doomdogs from Gothenburg, known for their two smashing full length albums on Doomentia, offer the tune 'Oceans Of Despair' whereas War Injun present their last track with singer JD Williams (also of Internal Void), 'Smokethrower'. Both songs are previously unreleased and exclusive to this release.

Image

HORSE LATITUDES - GATHERING (2LP)
Gatefold double vinyl with a A1 poster. Limited to 500 copies. This slow motion mammoth of an album is the debut by Finland's Horse Latitudes, the band whose "dual bass incantations capture the most surreal, epic and psychedelic voyage into the annals of doom", as Lurker's Path webzine put it. 'Gathering' was originally released on CD by Aurora Borealis a couple of years back. Never before available on vinyl, the Svart edition comes in heavy black and silvery gatefold covers and also features a gigantic A1 poster. Heavily recommended for fans of Winter, Saturnalia Temple, Electric Wizard, Ride For Revenge, Burning Witch...

Image

HOUR OF 13 - 333 (BLACK)
With just their self-titled debut album, Hour of 13 had already gained recognition as one of the most noteworthy old school Heavy/Doom Metal acts in today's scene, a status they cemented with their following full lengths "The Ritualist" and "333". When we let the band out of their contract so they could sign with a bigger label we retained the rights to release their next two full lengths on vinyl. The first of these is their 3rd album, entitled "333". The LP comes in gatefold jacket with new artwork, limited 400x black.

MAUDLIN - A SIGN OF TIME
Heavy psychedelic doom rock from Belgium! The listener will be subjected to MAUDLIN's raw soul and deep emotions, drenched in a halucinogetic atmospheric pool, combined with sheer brutal power. This conceptual album is suitable for fans of bands as diverse as Neurosis, Type O-Negative, Cave In and even Pink Floyd.

Image

SHEVER - RITUALS
'Rituals' is a sludgy brew of death-doom heaviness: crushing riffs, crawling rhythm, hate-drenched vocals, and melodies that create a unique trance-like atmosphere. Those appreciating the sounds as diverse as of Mythic, Cathedral, Bloody Panda, Buried at Sea, Sleep or even early My Dying Bride might develop an addiction to these six aggressive pieces, stretching over 50 ritualistic minutes of doom. Shever was formed in 2004 by Jessica and the former drummer Melanie. The first demo-cd the mirror was released in 2004, followed by the first full-album ocean of illusions in 2007 and the epa dialogue with the dimensions in 2009. shEver played several gigs all around Europe at which the two most important gigs for the band took place in 2010, playing Roadburn and Doom Shall Rise.

Image

SINK - HOLY TESTAMENT 2
This is the second part of Sink's Holy Testament opus. Finnish underground psychedelic black-drone nomads lead us down a spiral path to nothingness. A strange, choking mixture of choral black metal guitars, deep vocal hum and melting electronics over hypnotic, cavernous drumming. A genre-breaking trip to black ecstasy. Gatefold, limited to 500.

Image

WANDERING MIDGET - (PURPLE) FROM THE MEADOWS OF OPIUM DREAMS (2LP)
LP, limited - 150x purple vinyl. After four seemingly endless years of deep, earshattering silence, the Wandering Midget returns from his secret travels into the unknown, and again holds us spellbound with new tales of the strange, the sad, the evil and the macabre. Classic Finnish Doom Metal that truly is one of its kind - epic and sorrowful, mystical and obscure, hauntingly beautiful, melancholic, occult, lyrical and dark!

EXPECTED - 2013.10

Image

PHARAOH OVERLORD - #3
Hypno-improv-stoner-rock! Finland's PHARAOH OVERLORD have distilled 30 years of rock music into a slow, blistering, bubbling, psychedelic ooze. This is the third studio album from this three piece from Pori, whose members are Janne, Jussi & Tomi from the mighty Circle. Musically its a little bit more trippy and stonerish than Circle - the vocals are gone but the hypnotic riffs are still evident and to the fore. Pretty much a perfect fusion of spellbinding guitar loops and rhythmic pulses and the stoner vibe of the '70s rock obsessives. This is trip music in the old sense and owes as much to the likes of Sabbath as it does to Can.

KADAVAR/MESSER/TIDAL SLEEP/BLACKWVS - THIS CHARMING MAN TOUR COMPILATION
Record Store day 2013 release. First come, first served. In October 2012 This Charming Man did a three-towns-label-tour (Münster, Hamburg and Berlin) with seven TCM bands playing every night. As a "you're the best fan we can get" surprise 300 limited 12"es (see-through wax and reverse/recycled screenprinted covers - artwork by H. Otremba, singer of Messer and contemporary-art guy) with unreleased songs by KADAVAR, MESSER, THE TIDAL SLEEP (Mineral coversong) and BLCKWVS were available at the shows and in the the TCM label shop. These copies were sold out very fast. For RSD 2013, and the first time available for stores, you get this 12" comp on different coloured wax with a slightly different screenprint cover! Limited to 400 copies worldwide! Be fast as a shark in a goldfish bowl!

Image

BELZEBONG - SONIC SCAPES & WEEDY GROOVES
REPRESS. Limited 300 copies vinyl version. Polish heavy-doomfuzz-metal outift. here some pressquotes: - The band drowns themselves in a sea of distortion, fuzz and enough bottom-end to cure the worst case of constipation - in other words this music will make you shit." Doommantia - Sonic Scapes & Weedy Grooves is a wicked trip down the hazy and introspective fuzziness associated with a massive blast to the lungs........Its far out man. So far, far out."mishkanyc . com - Huge wheezing stoner riffs, lumbering swamp-man style drums and enough hazy weed smoke to hotbox a double decker bus." heavyblogisheavy . com - It jumps straight into a thick bluesy riff, so heavy that the listener feels like theyre being crushed to death with a giant bag of weed. Free Verse Press

Image

GRAVETEMPLE - AMBIENT/RUIN (2LP)
Formed in 2006 as a side-project of SUNN O))) by OREN AMBARCHI, STEPHEN O'MALLEY and ATTILA CSIHAR. Elements of tape collage, concrete, and field recordings blend within a strong suite of heavy minimalist/maximalist music, black/death metal and drone.

NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.11

Image

PURPLE HILL WITCH - ALCHEMY/RENDEZVOUS WITH MADNESS (PD)
Purple Hill Witch is the latest Scandinavian band to embrace the gloomier side of metal. The Oslo trio's easy accessible brand of doom is consumed by plodding, monolithic riffs and the gloomy ballistics of Sabbath (and to a lesser extent the sprit of early Saint Vitus).

Image

RADIO MOSCOW - RANCHO TEHAMA AIRPORT/SWEET LIL THING
Exclusive single for VOLCOM singles club, by RADIO MOSCOW, a psychedelic blues rock trio from Ames, IA, led by guitarist/drummer/singer/songwriter Parker Griggs.

Image

ORCHID - (2LP/RED/WHITE/BLUE/SPLATTER) CAPRICORN
Limited 300 copies RED/WHITE/BLUE splatter vinyl. Gatefold sleeve, poster. Amazing '70s occult rock from San Fransisco. More Sabbath than Sabbath, blacker than black! It is truly almost incredible how well these four guys from San Francisco managed to recapture the spirit of early Black Sabbath. The tracklist is: 1. Eyes behind the wall 2. Capricorn 3. Black Funeral 4. Masters of it all 5. Down into the Earth 6. He who walks alone 7. Cosmonaut of three 8. Electric Father 9. Albatross

Image

ORCHID - (CLEAR/RED) THROUGH THE DEVILS DOORWAY
Gatefold sleeve, Heavy vinyl (limited clear/red version) poster Amazing '70s occult rock from San Francisco. More Sabbath than Sabbath, blacker than black! It is truly almost incredible how well these four guys from San Francisco managed to recapture the spirit of early Black Sabbath. The first song 'Into the Sun' has a significant similarity to Sabbath's 'Children of the Grave', but it also recalls Trouble's self titled album from 1990.

NEW IN STOCK - 2013.11

Image

KARMA TO BURN - LIVE AT SIDRO CLUB (BLACK)
Two unique tracks! 52 minutes of pure Karma to Burn live sound! Black vinyl.

EXPECTED - 2013.11

GOAT - RUN TO YOUR MAMA REMIXES, VOL. 1
Rocket Records present two limited edition 12"s containing exclusive remixes of Goat's Run to your mama. Swedish collective Goat became one of the most talked about bands of 2012 with their stunning debut album World Music. The album gathered rave reviews across the globe making it one of the underground albums of the year in many end of year polls. Run to your mama was seen by many as one of the standout tracks off the album. Which makes it a perfect choice to give to a selection of artists that we admire and invite them to explore Goat's voodoo grooves, to twist and turn them into something new. Vol. 1 starts with a subtle but very effective mix by West Country noisegazers Thought Forms, who add washes of cello and bird song to the original track. Following them is Not Not Fun's High Wolf who stamps his recognisable looped drones all over his reimagination. Redg Weeks, Geoff Barrow's right hand man at Invada records is up next and he takes the tracks repetitious groove to create a formidable mix. Then we have The Horrors' Tom Furse who finds a glam stomp in the track and runs with it. Finally on Vol.1 we have fellow Rocket musicnaughts Teeth of the Sea who create a high energy mix which turns the track into something akin to Xtrmntr era Primal Scream.

GOAT - RUN TO YOUR MAMA REMIXES, VOL. 2
The mighty Gnod team up with fellow Manchester producer Raikes Parade for the first remix on Vol. 2, together they create a unexpectedly poppy dance track. Following that the legendary DJ and crate digger Cherrystones deconstructs the original track into a mass of industrial beats and echoed vocals. Leeds psych band Hookworms turn the track into a fuzzed out soundscape that calls to mind the fuzzy sounds of Spacemen 3. The last track on Vol. 2 is by cosmic disco collective Cage & Aviary who turn it into a great dubbed out, early 90s Acid house dance floor filler. These two 12"s are limited to 2000 copies on blue vinyl and will not be repressed.

Image

ACID DEATHTRIP - ACID DEATHTRIP
Bringers of the Blasphemous Boogie ACID DEATHRIP draws influences from sludge, doom, blues, down tuned rock and roll and good old heavy metal making sure their sexually intimidating cocktail of sleaze and dirt hits where it hurts. With lyrics that borderline on complete and utter retardation, drug-fuelled tales of madness, pagan midgets and nudist goat-monks radiate through raw and clean vocals surrounded by riffs that seduce elephants in heat and drums that crush the very thickest of skulls, ACID DEATHTRIP is ready to roll up its sleeves and unzip its pants for a golden shower of power. Anyone into filthy, dirty and all out incredible rock'n'roll metal and bands like Alabama Thunderpussy, Entombed, Saint Vitus or Orange Goblin can't afford to miss out!

BATILLUS - CONCRETE SUSTAIN
Industrial and doom influenced sounds from NYC, steeped in thick-blooded and soul-blackening ugliness.

BONGRIPPER/HATE - SPLIT LP
What's that up in the sky? It's my high! I just inhaled 11 minutes of the new BONGRIPPER song "Fisting." This song is taken from their soon to be released split with HATE, coming out via The Great Barrier Records. Both bands rip a hole in Lower Earth with their maniacal audio assault on your senses. This Bongripper and Hate split has only enhanced the effects of their THC death blow to my brain."-CVLT Nation.

GHOST B.C. - INFESTISSUMAM
Swedish metal at its finest and heaviest! LP release.

Image

MAGIC CIRCLE - MAGIC CIRCLE
Drawing from classic NWOBHM and traditional metal influences, this five piece comprised of veteran local musicians have turned out a well crafted solid as hell metal album. They've definitely done their listening homework over the years. Strong and catchy songs, heavy but not tuned down, recorded well but not overproduced, it captures the old DIY ethic of metal in the early 80s. The vocals have an almost Ozzy quality at times, solid as hell. We're totally stoked on this record! Members of MIND ERASER, RIVAL MOB, NO TOLERANCE, DOOMRIDERS etc.

Image

REVEREND BIZARRE - (COL) IN THE RECTORY OF THE..(2LP)
...BIZARRE REVEREND". The first album and arguably the greatest doom metal album ever made, finally on vinyl. Double gatefold vinyl with copper foil stamping, large booklet. Gatefold jacket, big booklet, gold vinyl More info to follow later..

Image

MEXICOMA - MEXICOMA
You're about to witness one of the heaviest bands of the genre. These six dudes (incl. three guitars and a heavenly hellish voice) from Sweden bring you an earth shattering melange of stoner rock, doom and metal. So heavy, so melodic, so unique ... no need to categorize any further, just listen for yourself ... Since the beginning in 2006, Mexicoma has grown from being a clean-cut stoner band to expressing a much more ambient and heavier sound. Just as a good whiskey, Mexicoma needed the time to age and evolve to get the right taste. The earlier flirt with the '70s and more peeled off sound, has developed into a heavier and saturnine presence, without discarding their riff-based foundations. The sound today is easiest described as heavy-hearted and transformative, but at the same time still captivating and progressive. 200x transparent 180-gram yellow vinyl in matt laquered heavy gatefold cover. Hand-numbered.

Image

ORCHID - (CLEAR/RED) THROUGH THE DEVILS DOORWAY
Gatefold sleeve, Heavy vinyl (limited clear/red version) poster Amazing '70s occult rock from San Francisco. More Sabbath than Sabbath, blacker than black!

BLACK CAPRICORN - BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN
With their second album BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN the ladies and guys give you a straight mixture of classic doom and heavy psych vibes. Gathering all darkness of the universe crossed with a heavy psychedelic attitude, BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN is a journey into the space with some astronomical and mythological coordinates. Heavy, slow, dark, psychedelic, evil and obviously rock are the other coordinates to reach with a simple and easy way the world of the Black Capricorn. From an ancient and mysterious island in the mediterranean sea some wizards and witches merge an alchemy which gives birth to a horned beast under the sign of the Capricorn! Limited to 150 copies on heavy purple vinyl!

Image

VERACRASH - MY BROTHER THE GODHEAD
One of the Italy's finest realities, if you're into stoner rock, doom or whatsoever. Outsiders by vocation, VERACRASH sound like QOTSA on LSD, engaging a bloody fight with Melvins and Neurosis. After their acclaimed debut "11:11" (2009), VERACRASH are back with their new album "My Brother The Godhead".Produced in cold Sweden by Truckfighters axeman Niklas Kallgren, "My Brother the Godhead" is the second full lenght of the band and goes straight to the point. A sharp riff rain, a "sludgy" sound and lyrics inspired by the most extreme conspirationism and cyber-gnostic knowledge. A must have for all stoner heads.

Image

PURPLE HILL WITCH - ALCHEMY/RENDEZVOUS WITH MADNESS (PD)
Purple Hill Witch is the latest Scandinavian band to embrace the gloomier side of metal. The Oslo trio's easy accessible brand of doom is consumed by plodding, monolithic riffs and the gloomy ballistics of Sabbath (and to a lesser extent the sprit of early Saint Vitus).

Image

PROCESSION (CHILI) - (BLACK) TO REAP HEAVENS APART
Originally formed in 2006 by guitarist/vocalist Felipe Plaza in Chile's cultural heart, the coastal city of Valparaiso, Procession follow the path of tradition, laid out by the masters Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus and Candlemass - without mercy, without compromise! Receiving a glowing review in Germany's Rock Hard magazine, Procession's debut album Destroyers Of The Faith has not only taken the Doom Metal scene by storm but also convinced parts of the Metal mainstream. The new record To Reap Heavens Apart will win the band even more supporters. Since Epicus Doomicus Metalicus there hasn't been a more convincing pure doom metal album. Songs like "Far From Light", "Conjurer" or the epic title track evoke an eerie atmosphere too frightening to believe.

ROMERO - TAKE THE POTON
ROMERO lifts the stoner rock genre to new heights with their full length album 'Take The Potion'. The 7-song LP delivers 42 minutes of impressive rock and is pressed on three different colours of deluxe 150-gram vinyl. Limited to only 300 copies.

HOUR OF 13 - 333 (PURPLE)
With just their self-titled debut album, Hour of 13 had already gained recognition as one of the most noteworthy old school Heavy/Doom Metal acts in today's scene, a status they cemented with their following full lengths "The Ritualist" and "333". When we let the band out of their contract so they could sign with a bigger label we retained the rights to release their next two full lengths on vinyl. The first of these is their 3rd album, entitled "333". The LP comes in gatefold jacket with new artwork, limited 200x purple.

HOUR OF 13 - HOUR OF 13 (PURPLE)

The original press of their debut album on CD and LP is totally sold out since years, so we decided to reissue it now. We revised and improved the layout of the original release. The LP comes with gatefold jacket with classic doomy purple + silver print on glossy black 350g cover. 200x purple.

EXPECTED - 2013.13

HEXVESSEL - NO HOLIER TEMPLE (2LP/BLACK)
INCLUDING 20 PAGE BOOKLET. Psychedelic forest folk band Hexvessel, from Finland, return with their second full-length album! No Holier Temple is the highly anticipated follow up to 2011's critically acclaimed debut album, Dawnbearer, that Roadburn Festival dubbed as "a passionate, urgent and gorgeously strange musical spell. No Holier Temple fuses the acoustic 70s folk vibe of its predecessor into a more psychedelic, electric, doom-folk sound with Manzarek-like keys, screeching rhythmic Velvet Underground violins, Miles Davis trumpets and hypnotic freakouts. Inspired by the progressive, spaced-out haze of bands like Amon Duul II, Van Der Graaf Generator and Ultimate Spinach, whose song "Your Head Is Reeling" they cover with religious abandon. Their sound now expands outward from their eerie, signature, ritual-esque intros into a genre-twisting cauldron of otherworldly rock and the late-night, dreamy spoken-word of artists such as Jim Morrison (An American Prayer) and Ken Nordine.

HEXVESSEL - IRON MARSH (COL)
Purple vinyl, ltd. to 400. 30 minutes, 5 tracks.

SEREMONIA - OVI
Two brand new Seremonia tracks! Limited to 500.

COUGH/WINDHAND - REFLECTION OF THE NEGATIVE
Richmond, Virginia's twin titans of doom team up for the split album of the year with 'REFLECTION OF THE NEGATIVE'. COUGH deliver a typically electrifying one song down-tuned epic side, while WINDHAND serve up two brand new songs for their half of the dirge. This is premier doom at its absolute gloomiest.

WITCH MOUNTAIN - (BLACK) CAULDRON OF THE WILD (2LP)
Double LP on black vinyl, limited to 500 copies, presented in gatefold jacket. WITCH MOUNTAIN from Portland, Oregon was founded in 1997, and is the doom rock creation of Sunn O))) collaborator Nate Carson and Rob Wrong. Their music is what Black Sabbath would sound like if fronted by Janis Joplin. Produced by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Mr. Bungle, Melvins, High On Fire, etc), this is a stunning album.

EXPECTED - 2013.14

CUT YOURSELF IN HALF - MEKKANIZM
Debut album by Bradford 4-piece energised, riff packed, stoner rockers. A hellish amalgam of the hook laden rolling stoner grooves of QOTSA and Red Fang, mashed with a mighty thump of Mastodon-esque heaviness and hard rock, all put through a psychedelic mangle. The music is huge, with thunderous riffs followed by thunderous rhythm changes and grooves that take in hardcore, doom and acid-rock, all executed with top class playing. LP on 180-gram blood-splatter vinyl. Presented in gatefold sleeve and includes download.

Image

CORRECTIONS HOUSE - HOAX THE SYSTEM
Burning World Records is proud to release the debut single from Corrections House, 'Hoax The System', for Europe. In the US the single will be released by on Parker and Lamont's War Crime Recordings label. Corrections House is a metal supergroup featuring Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza/Bloodiest). "There's really no way to sum up the sound of Corrections House. If you listen to each of the members' individual projects, then you can maybe get an idea if you just imagine a nice blend of the four of them. It's not metal, it's not industrial, and it's certainly not easily classified. But overall, it's pure genius!" (Zero Tolerance Magazine)

Image

FUZZ - SLEIGH RIDE
The second single from a new band featuring TY SEGALL and CHARLIE MOONHEART. Expect sludgy, heavy, psyched-out proto-metal that is steeped in shredding fuzztone guitar (à la Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Hendrix). The follow up to the now-deleted debut 7-inch on Trouble In Mind.

Image

BONGRIPPER - LIVE AT ROADBURN (2LP)
Powerful registration of the 2 sets Bongripper played on Roadburn 2012. First ever shows of Bongripper in Europe. Mixed and mastered by James Plotkin (Sunn O)))/Isis etc). Vinyl limited to 500 copies. On the main stage, Bongripper performing all of the beautiful Satan Worshipping Doom album proved to be a revelation for most at the festival. Massively framed by the enormous and intricate cover art, the four silent Chicagoans seemed to teach us all a lesson in how to deliver the heaviest and most atmospheric of music using just stringed instruments, drums and electricity. No head was left un-nodded in the 013 building as they blew away most of the competition with such furiously focussed cyclopean riffing that a crack nearly appeared in the Dutch sea walls 60 miles to the west. One hour of faultless instrumental rock. I felt hugely privileged. To quote any young American - fucking awesome. The Sleeping Shaman Vinyl will be only the Sunday Satan Worshipping Doom-set. TRACKLIST CD1 Hail 16:34 Satan 13:33 Worship 18:27 Doom 10:16 CD2 Sex Tape 6:21 Hate Ashbury 17:41 Fisting 10:08 Worship 19:02 Reefer Sutherland 7:05

INTER ARMA - SKY BURIAL (2LP)
Merging doom, pychedelic sludge, grind, black metal and mighty mighty riffs to create a sound wholly their own, 'Sky Burial' is a spiritually intense journey through the halls of extreme metal. Inter Arma have made a decisively loud proclamation with 'Sky Burial'. This is a band that could very well be the next crown-holder in a regal line of iconic Relapse bands.

MOTHERSHIP - MOTHERSHIP (BEER DRINKERS PARTY PACK)
Beer drinkers party pack including a Mothership beer koozie. Beer-coloured vinyl, limited to 50 copies. 70's-tinged U.S. hard rock with a sound that satisfies like a steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden, blended with the southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, Motherships goal from the beginning has been to carry on the tradition of the classic rock style; updated and amped up for the modern day. Originally self-released in 2012, Mothership and Ripple Music have joined forces to re-release this stunning debut record on LP (packages to include an 11" x 17" poster and download cards). "Been listening to Mothership all day now and if feels like UFO and Orange Goblin got drunk with St. Vitus, smoked some weed with Blue Cheer and spewed out the tuffest blues-drenched, no frills love child Ive heard all month. Some ridiculously badass guitars. And heavy above all else!" -- Sword of Doom. "Try to resist a band that plays blues-laden metal with heavy guitar riffs that is also hoping for intergalactic travel. Mothership is a three piece from Dallas that alternates between an almost AC/DC-like sound on a track like "City Nights" and a broader, heavier and more epic sound on tracks like "Cosmic Rain," "Angel of Death" and the opener, "Hallucination." -- Vue Weekly.com.

UFOMAMMUT - IDOLUM (2LP)
Reissue as standard double LP with poster. 'Idolum' was a new chapter in the sonic history of Ufomammut, presenting a sensible evolution in the sound and in the structure of the songs: dark atmospheres, simple and mastodontic song frameworks, a different idea of psychedelic rock. Idolum is a latin word meaning "ghost" and "idea" at the same time, representing the massive but hidden presence as the main concepts of the album. Rose Kemp's astonishing voice will be guest in 'Ammonia' while Lorenzo of Lento has provided powerful sonic waves on 'Elephantom' with his six strings. The album features Lorenzo Stecconi as soundlord.

EXPECTED - 2013.15

Image

DEVIL TO PAY - FATE IS YOUR MUSE
Devil To Pay's fourth full-length album, Fate Is Your Muse, is an introspective lyrical journey that careens from the metaphysical, to the absurd, to the pragmatic (and back again), all set to bone crushing heaviness wrapped in elaborate vocal melodies and elegant guitar phrases. Exploring topics such as reincarnation, the end of days, and the thin veil between reality and fantasy, the Indianapolis foursome create a rare musical experience; one that will have heavy rock fans returning for the primal emotional riffs, as well as the complex and heady lyrical content. "The magic of Devil To Pay is that... they pump out a song with care and devotion, and then warp it into a whiskey-fueled blast. These songs have the heart, soul, and passion that many modern heavy musicians lack." ~Jordan Martich, Nuvo. For fans of: Black Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, Monster Magnet, Orange Goblin, Down, Clutch, Tool.

The music of Vidunder is bluesy '70s rock with a touch of garage. The trio now joins Spiders, Horisont and Dean Allen Foyd, by releasing their debut album on Crusher Records. The album includes, for instance, 'Summoning The Not Living', reminding of a young Roky Erickson and his 13th Floor Elevators, the bluesy ballad 'Threefold' giving the album a balance to the more heavier and up-tempo songs, and 'Threat From The Underground', which is one of the three tracks on this album with guest appearance by guitarist John Hoyles (guitarist of Spiders, ex-member of Witchcraft and Troubled Horse). The music can just as easily bring to mind the past days of Captain Beyond or Blue Cheer, as for todays always topical and compatriots in Graveyard. The album is mastered by well-known Henryk Lipp at Music A Matic in Gothenburg, Sweden. Track listing: A-side: 1. Summoning The Not Living 2. Into Her Grave 3. Trees 4. Threefold 5. Forsummad och Bortglomd B-side: 6. Asmodeus 7. Beware The Moon 8. Fire 9. Threat From The Underground 10. Your Ghost.

BODY (USA) - MASTER WE PERISH
This mini-album offers three brand new tracks, pushing their experimental doomed and blackend heavy sound ever forward. Edition on 12-inch vinyl.

OM - GETHSEMANE DUBPLATE
A 12-inch vinyl only release. The second of two dub-inspired remix 12-inches on Drag City for OM. This, with 'Gethsemane' from 'Advaitic Songs' and 'Garden Of Gethsemane' from 'Alpha & Omega'.

CATHEDRAL - THE LAST SPIRE (2LP)
And lo, Lee Dorrian, mouthpiece of Cathedral for 23 years, doth solemnly intone the death rites of this mighty British metal Titan. Born in the dying days of Thatcher's Britain, bonding over then-unfashionable, obscure names like Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Trouble and Dream Death, Cathedral's sole ambition was to record a demo tape. In fact they revolutionised doom metal, first pushing their influences into new avenues of grinding extremity, then pioneering groovier forms of '70s-indebted stoner doom. They've remained a reassuring and singular presence in our lives, building a rabid following worldwide with their wholly distinctive blend of rollicking British heavy metal, true doom, 70s hard rock, psych-folk, mad prog and spiky crust-punk. There was a worrying hiatus between 2005 and 2010 when some dared to wonder if Cathedral were coming back at all - but they re-emerged with 'The Guessing Game', an overflowing treasure chest of weird and wonderful goodies exploring new, bold variations on their craft. So when news came that Cathedral really were approaching the Endtyme, it was a shock. "Personally speaking, this is the album I've been waiting to do since the first one (their landmark 1991 debut, Forest of Equilibrium), it almost feels like we made our second album last in some respects. We actually recorded a lot more material but decided to sacrifice many of the tracks to make the overall album feel more complete in its nihilism. I don't like happy endings, I never have. So many good films are ruined by happy endings and I didn't want that to be the case with Cathedral, it was my dream to bring everything full circle." Says Lee Dorrian. Clearly there was new impetus for reconnecting with that early spirit of doleful abjection, of sinister obsessions and lamented desires; on 'The Last Spire' Cathedral are literally doomed. We are commiserating the celebration, and in what thrilling style.

CHURCH OF MISERY - THY KINGDOM SCUM (2LP)
CHURCH OF MISERY was founded by Tatsu Mikami (bass guitar) back in 1995. After the breakup of his leading thrash metal band SALEM, a band that had toured in the UK several times and received critical acclaim from metal fans and press alike. Tatsu decided to start his own solo project. He wanted to do something that reflected his other musical inspirations - doom metal and doom rock. Apart from metal and thrash, he was strongly influenced by doom bands like SAINT VITUS, BLACK SABBATH and became aware that his own riffs had started to include doom vibes. Also, he was very much into late 60s/early 70s heavy rock material like LEAF HOUND, NOVEMBER, MAY BLITZ, HIGH TIDE, GUN, BLUE OYSTER CULT and so on. It was natural for him to shift his musical direction from metal to a more rock-influenced style.

ORCHID - MOUTHS OF MADNESS (BLACK)
Taking into consideration that the Californian quintet had obviously already found its formula for success, one could have expected them to play save by fully maintaining the first records course. However, when giving ORCHIDs sophomore release "The Mouths Of Madness" a spin for the first time, one will immediately realize that it embodies anything but stagnation! "The new tracks sound much more direct - the tunes are of a higher quality, somehow more on the spot, which can be traced back to the fact that weve all become better musicians", guitarist Mark Thomas Baker states. "Plus theres an increased amount of psychedelic parts that we werent able to show as much before, while the use of synthesizers was decreased, compared to Capricorn". The instrumental recordings, split into two separate sessions, were done in Hyde Street Studios, San Francisco (DEAD KENNEDYS, MR. BUNGLE, JOE SATRIANI, EXODUS) as well as in Laughing Tiger Studios, San Rafael (SANTANA, SAMMY HAGAR), before long-time producer and engineer Will Storkson and his home studio came into play, where the vocals were tracked. Carrying their 70s-doom-hard-rock vibe to a new level of intensity and adding new facets to the work of art, ORCHID haves succeeded in staying true to their roots while refining their trademark sound at the same time. Or, as the press puts it: "The true heir of BLACK SABBATH!" (Rock Hard Italy).

Heavy and thick in the spirit of Black Sabbath, brewed with the soul of Sabbath contemporaries like Amon Düül II, Pink Floyd, Heart and Blue Oyster Cult.

Image

BUZZOV-EN - AT A LOSS
Limited 100 copies on coloured vinyl. Buzzov-en has been cranking out drug-fueled, misanthropic sludge punk in various incarnations since their inception in 1990. Known almost as much for their out-of-control and sometimes violent live shows as they are for their music, the band carries on a tradition shared by such fellow troublemakers as Eyehategod and Antiseen.

Image

CHURCH OF MISERY - VOL. 1 (+7")
REPRESS. The LP comes with a 7" single containing the last 2 songs of the CD version. The official re-release of Church Of Misery's unreleased debut full lenght Volume 1.

Image

EYEHATEGOD - DOPESICK (2LP)
Repressed DOUBLE LP, this time the BLACK cover. Limited to 500, all tracks re-mastered with revised layout and artwork, bonus tracks an liner notes by lead singer Mike Williams. Eyehategod's Dopesick continues the band's trend of rage, raunchiness, and uncontrolled hate. This album is not something for the weak of heart or the easily intimidated. The music here is the super slow, back home southern "metal" type that could make you fall asleep if it wasn't for the incessant grind of it all. Micheal Williams' vocals are the utmost sickening, puke-ridden audio atrocities that could actually prove deadly if taken in large doses. Songs such as "Dogs Holy Life", "Zero Nowhere", "Methamphetamine", and "Lack of Almost Everything", by their titles alone show that this band isn't joking around when it comes to their depression. Haters of life, love and God, these New Orleans dirt packers are back and just waiting to be excreted."

Image

EYEHATEGOD - TAKE AS NEEDED FOR PAIN (2LP)
Repress of long deleted DOUBLE LP. Limited to 500 copies, all tracks remastered with revised layout and artwork. Includes seven bonus tracks and liner notes by lead singer MIKE WILLIAMS. Probably the best release of the band's short career, as it's more coherent and listenable than In the Name of Suffering and entirely less broken and alone than Dopesick. However, it is also the band's most potentially offensive, given the unflinching lyrical examination of humanity's dregs, not to mention the DeQuincey-like drug worship scattered about the inlay. Commercial intentions have clearly not been discussed. Characterized by moments of almost heart-stopping climactic intensity and burdening guts-out-on-the-floor honesty, this record boasts a damaging, sickening testament to anti-aesthetic vitriol. Truly unclean.

Image

KINGS DESTROY - AND THE REST WILL SURELY PERISH
Limited to 200 on black/white swirled vinyl (standard pocket). KINGS DESTROY is a thundering unit with a name taken from "an infamous late 70's / early 80's Bronx based graffiti crew" and a gang of musicians whom Decibel astutely deemed "a literal who's-who of the New York underground stoner doom scene." Produced by Sanford Parker (Zoroaster, Brutal Truth) at the world famous Water Music Recorders (Mot is a sharp statement of intent. Combining "powerful riffs and powerful lyrics" with a strong interest in futuristic ideas and science fiction, the record promises "a hefty dooming" delivered with a "sans-bullshit stylistic simplicity" that has drawn comparison to early Cathedral or Solitude Aeturnus. The album's artwork has been designed by the venerable Seldon Hunt (ISIS, Caïna, Thrones).The band will hit the studio later this month to demo songs for its sophomore album and follow up to its celebrated debut And the Rest Will Surely Perish, a heavy-handed album that the Village Voice described as "Fueled mainly by Sabbath's grooves, Sleep's foggy haze, and Yob's oppressive thunder."

Second full album from Atlanta Georgia's Southern Sludge punkers. For fans of Eyehategod, Weedeater, Buzzoven, Sourvein. Ltd. to 200 copies on green marbled vinyl.

Image

SOURVEIN - BLACK FANG (+7")
Limited to 500 copies LP + bonus 'Imperial Bastard 7" package. This release sees 2 of Sourvein's titles being released on vinyl for the first time. "Black Fang" marks the third full length for North Carolina's Sourvein who have otherwise released a few EP's and Splits. Sourvein plays down-tuned groove oriented doom/sludge that hits like a bong and never sobers up. The band having survived multiple lineup changes since the inception in 1993 shows no signs of letting up with "Fang" as a great follow up to 2002s "Will to Mangle". Many will have to reconsider which is the bands best release once Black Fang leaves its mark. The record opens up with the title track, and hits you with a repetitive groove riff I found reminiscent of recent Electric Wizard sans the psycadelia. Interesting enough, the guitar player who is now absent, Liz Buckingham, left Sourvein to join Electric Wizard years ago. At the middle mark of "Night Eyes" they break down into this really cool riff that invokes some sort of mind control. You have two choices: take drugs, or murder someone. "Nomadic" is another track that sticks out. A bit more driving, Nomadic sludges forward with some great groove and eventually hits with the first solo of the record, and it fucking kills. I was actually done talking about the songs and finishing up the end of my review and I had to come back and talk about "Nocturnal/Negative Phaze". It may be the best track on the record even though it took me a few listens to notice. Clocking it at 6:37, the track is a long progression combining elements found throughout the rest of the record. Nocturnal/Negative Phase does a great job of showing off their creativity. If this where my project, I'd take this track and use it as the ground-work for future writing inspiration.

GOAT - RUN TO YOUR MAMA REMIXES, VOL. 1
Rocket Records present two limited edition 12"s containing exclusive remixes of Goat's Run to your mama. Swedish collective Goat became one of the most talked about bands of 2012 with their stunning debut album World Music. The album gathered rave reviews across the globe making it one of the underground albums of the year in many end of year polls. Run to your mama was seen by many as one of the standout tracks off the album. Which makes it a perfect choice to give to a selection of artists that we admire and invite them to explore Goat's voodoo grooves, to twist and turn them into something new. Vol. 1 starts with a subtle but very effective mix by West Country noisegazers Thought Forms, who add washes of cello and bird song to the original track. Following them is Not Not Fun's High Wolf who stamps his recognisable looped drones all over his reimagination. Redg Weeks, Geoff Barrow's right hand man at Invada records is up next and he takes the tracks repetitious groove to create a formidable mix. Then we have The Horrors' Tom Furse who finds a glam stomp in the track and runs with it. Finally on Vol.1 we have fellow Rocket musicnaughts Teeth of the Sea who create a high energy mix which turns the track into something akin to Xtrmntr era Primal Scream.

Image

GOAT - RUN TO YOUR MAMA REMIXES, VOL. 2
The mighty Gnod team up with fellow Manchester producer Raikes Parade for the first remix on Vol. 2, together they create a unexpectedly poppy dance track. Following that the legendary DJ and crate digger Cherrystones deconstructs the original track into a mass of industrial beats and echoed vocals. Leeds psych band Hookworms turn the track into a fuzzed out soundscape that calls to mind the fuzzy sounds of Spacemen 3. The last track on Vol. 2 is by cosmic disco collective Cage & Aviary who turn it into a great dubbed out, early 90s Acid house dance floor filler. These two 12"s are limited to 2000 copies on blue vinyl and will not be repressed.

Limited 300 copies BLACK vinyl. The legendary STONED JESUS debut record now on vinyl! Originally released by Russian Solitude Records label in 2010, it was recorded live-in-the-studio in two hours and mixed in three ones the other weekend.

Now First Communion is available in the form it was originally intended.

ANCIIENTS - HEART OF OAK (2LP/BLACK)
'Heart of Oak', the stunning Season of Mist debut full-length from ANCIIENTS, is one of 2013's most anticipated albums for a reason. The acutely modern, progressive quartet craft songs as nuanced and expressive as the range of human emotion, without eschewing their hard rock/heavy metal roots. Unforgettable tracks such as "Raise the Sun", "Falling in Line", "The Longest River", and "Faith & Oath" hit hard and resonate deeply. With 'Heart of Oak' as their calling card, ANCIIENTS exude class and the confidence of a band beyond their years. "One of 2013's most anticipated albums" - Decibel magazine (US) Recommended if You Like: MASTODON, KYLESA, BARONESS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, WITCHCRAFT, ELECTRIC WIZARD

CORRECTIONS HOUSE - HOAX THE SYSTEM
Burning World Records is proud to release the debut single from Corrections House, 'Hoax The System', for Europe. In the US the single will be released by on Parker and Lamont's War Crime Recordings label. Corrections House is a metal supergroup featuring Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza/Bloodiest). "There's really no way to sum up the sound of Corrections House. If you listen to each of the members' individual projects, then you can maybe get an idea if you just imagine a nice blend of the four of them. It's not metal, it's not industrial, and it's certainly not easily classified. But overall, it's pure genius!" (Zero Tolerance Magazine)

Image

STUBB - UNDER A SPELL
Under a Spell - a heavy rocker about backstabbers with liberal doses of hammond organ while Bullets Rain (From An Angry Sky) with it's thundering bass line is about being caught in a war zone and running from the gunfire raining down from above. Despite the heavy subject matters both of the tracks have a groove that will stop you standing still for long. Under a Spell is limited to 300 copies on blue 7" vinyl with a special textured sleeve from the rather excellent Stone Stallion Rex.

Image

BLACK CAPRICORN - BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN
With their second album BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN the ladies and guys give you a straight mixture of classic doom and heavy psych vibes. Gathering all darkness of the universe crossed with a heavy psychedelic attitude, BORN UNDER THE CAPRICORN is a journey into the space with some astronomical and mythological coordinates. Heavy, slow, dark, psychedelic, evil and obviously rock are the other coordinates to reach with a simple and easy way the world of the Black Capricorn. From an ancient and mysterious island in the mediterranean sea some wizards and witches merge an alchemy which gives birth to a horned beast under the sign of the Capricorn! Limited to 150 copies on heavy purple vinyl!

Image

DOPEFIGHT - BUDS
Buds is a damn fine work of sludge doom that stands up to the classic Weedeaters, Bongzillas, Buzzov*ens and Electric Wizards of the world. Drums are tight and punchy, bass is sturdy and rumbling, guitars are clear and melodic yet pack a punch with a massive wall-of-sound production.

Image

DOPEFIGHT/LEX RHINO - SPLIT LP
Sadly Dopefight's very last release ever. 4 tracks of sludge worshipping groovy doom metal meets the nasty rowdy-quintette Lex Rhino presenting 4 hymns of finest fitlhy doom metal suggested for the mature audience. All songs of Dopefight and Lex Rhino were mastered by James Plotkin (K.K. Null, Nadja, Sunn O))), ISIS, Pelican and Earth).

Image

ICE DRAGON - THE BURL, THE EARTH, THE AETHER
Killer stuff. Refreshingly different, but still very much doom. If you are into the sound of Electric Wizard and 70s epic heavy metal, get it!!!

GOAT - STONEGOAT/DREAMBUILDING
Double A side single, the first release of new music from the band since 'World Music'. The A-Side, entitled 'Stonegoat', continues right where 'World Music' left off, with fuzzy wah guitars, relentless djembe rhythms and banshee screams. The under three minute track climaxes with some seriously heavy fuzz that consumes the whole song. The AA-Side sees Goat broaden their palette with the track 'Dreambuilding'. On the surface it is business as usual, infectious tribal grooves, fuzz and dual vocals. But after a couple of listens the true beauty of the track's deep funk groove is released and reveals an even more structured side to Goat's loose way of making amazing music. The artwork features a stunning drawing by Luke Insect.

AGE OF TAURUS - DESPERATE SOULS OF TORMENTED TIMES
Welcome to the Taurean Empire; a decaying land where disease, war and corruption is rife. A wretched place of man and beast, where deception, fear and despair fills every dank alleyway and the stench of suffering drifts across endless, sun-scorched plains. As way of ensuring safe passage through this hellish hour, let us introduce your guides for the journey; four road-hardened mortals, brought together by luck, power and coincidence. Ladies and Gentlemen, take up arms and go safely as Age of Taurus show you a world inhabited by the Desperate Souls of Tortured Times....UK based Age of Taurus make no frills Doom-laden heavy metal, with an emphasis on HEAVY. Produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Angel Witch, Hexvessel, Ghost), 'Desperate Souls of Tortured Times' is a 42 minute collection of material written during their transition over the past three years. It's an unashamedly heavy voyage down a road less travelled, where each of the seven songs acts as a chapter from an altogether longer tale. Monstrous, mountain-shaking riffs are order of the day in the Empire, stepping aside only for Riddell's searing leads to take hold, whilst the lock-tight Bruce/Claydon rhythm section underpins all. Heading the charge from centre stage, Wright's lyrics act as a vivid narrative, painting pictures of ancient ritual and sprawling landscapes, somewhat reminiscent of Manilla Road and Brocas Helm in their prime. Some might assume that DSOTT is a concept album, however in reality, Age of Taurus is more like a 'concept band', intent on delivering undiluted and intriguing heavy metal to all that will listen.

Image

HUATA/BITCHO - SPLIT
HUATA and BITCHO decide to form an alliance to release this split LP under the sign of psychedelism. One year after their first full lenght ("Atavist of Mann", 2012), HUATA from Brittany comes back with two new tracks, a new psychedelic sludge dimension for this occult doom-stoner band that reminds SLEEP or ANCESTORS with very particular arrangements. BITCHO from the Netherlands presents a long track (12 mn) with down tempo tunes a la GODFLESH and creeping sludge riffs with incatations. The record comes in a beautiful gatefold LP with a retro-futuristic cover made by Benjamin Moreau (HUATA).

ULVER - LIVE AT ROADBURN 2012 (2LP)
Early pioneers of Norwegian black metal Ulver have continually evolved over the years to become living legends of the dark music genre. By blending rock, electronic, industrial and symphonic traditions along with ambient soundscapes and experimental sounds, the band has created truly groundbreaking material. Ulver returned with 2012's 'Childhoods End', a collection of classic psychedelic tracks recorded by the band during various sessions starting in late 2008 and ending in late 2011. "This is the stuff that we sit at home and get stoked about," Kristoffer Ryggexplained in an interview. "I grew up with parents who were still listening to music from the time, so it informed my childhood, but it has became an ever increasing geeky sort of fetish since then." This passion for Sixties garage rock and psychedelia and the countless underground gems that remain unknown to many inspired the band to record their own interpretations of some of their favorite songs from the era. "My feeling is that most peoples knowledge sort of limits itself to The Doors," said Rygg, "The Doors were cool, but there was so much else going on in the underground, records that got lost and didnt get as much recognition as they deserved in my opinion." Ulver performed the tracks from Childhoods End for the first and only time live at Roadburn 2012. TRACKLIST: 1. Bracelets Of Fingers 2. In The Past 3. Can You Travel In The Dark Alone 4. Soon There'll Be Thunder 5. Today 6. Velvet Sunsets 7. Street Song 8. 6-5-4-3-2-1 9. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) 10. Magic Hollow 11. Impromptu Performance (Dedicated To Can).

Image

CONAN - LIVE AT ROADBURN 2012
Stage 1 at Roadburn 2012 was already overcrowded when Conan entered (with their gear through the audience) and laid down an hour of Horseback battle doom. The band were in obviously ebullient form, stoked at playing this legendary festival and also being asked to join Sleep in Oslo, as selections from the new and monstrous Monnos were intermingled with the huge and bulldozing force of classics like Krull and Older Than Earth. Jons instantly likeable faraway vocals have never sounded more realised to these ears, and the audience were massively appreciative of Conan's true wallop as the Stonehenge of amps that framed the band belched out universe-sized slices of ultra low-end hostility. A special mention too for Paul O'Neil's expert drumming which represents the kind of versatility and intelligence that one would not usually expect with this most primal of genres, truly adding colour to the palette. By the end of the set I had cunningly worked my way into the centre of the room and believe me I was not regretful of the deoxygenated crush of Stage 01 - Conan had finally arrived on the international stage like the great wrecking ball that they have always been and I needed to be there to witness their special Roadburn moment. I toast thee lads - you are truly monolithic. ~The Sleeping Shaman. TRACKLIST: 1. KRULL 2. SATSUMO 3. HAWK AS WEAPON 4. BATTLE IN THE SWAMP 5. HEADLESS HUNTER 6. SEA LORD.

MOSS (UK) - HORRIBLE NIGHT (2LP)
'Horrible Night' is the sound of MOSS emerging from its cocoon, becoming a much more savage, intelligent and all the more terrifying beast. While no longer obsessed with extremity for its own sake -with weirdly infectious riffs, eccentric vocal melodies and no song over 12 minutes- MOSS remain heavier-than-thou, broadening their horror beyond any imposed 'scene' expectations. This mastery of the craft is evident from the opening moments of first track 'Horrible Nights' -written back in 2010 it sets the course for the album, taking the twisting death-crawl of MOSS mini-epics such as "Tombs Of The Blind Drugged' and administering a lethal dose of addictive melody, cooked up by the colossal riffs of Dominic Finbow and the Ozzy-via-seance vocalisations of Olly Pearson. Cuts such as 'The Coral Of Chaos' and 'Dark Lady' expand further upon this potent formula, dragging the Black Sabbath blueprint to its most nightmarish conclusion and ushering MOSS further into their newest dark age. With 6 tracks, MOSS proves more than ever why this English cult band is regarded exactly as such. While still no easy pill to swallow for the uninitiated, over its duration 'Horrible Night' will demand complete mind control. Nonsense prefixes such as "stoner", "sludge" or "drone" do not apply here; this is pure DOOM METAL, a celebration of horror, the arcane and the unknown. Although traditionally a reluctant live act, in 2013 MOSS are set to embark on their first European headline tour, as well as a return trip to Holland's Roadburn Festival, playing Jus Oborn's Electric Acid Orgy with Electric Wizard, Dream Death, Psychic TV and the Pretty Things, it seems in their 13th year MOSS have finally arrived.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE - LIKE CLOCKWORK (2LP)
Standard 2LP on 150 gram vinyl. Sixth studio album by Queens Of The Stone Age. Self-produced by the band, it is the first Queens Of The Stone Age album to feature full contributions from bassist Michael Shuman and keyboardist and guitarist Dean Fertita, who both joined the band in 2007 to tour in support of its fifth studio album, 'Era Vulgaris' (2007).

Image

COVEN (USA/80S) - WORSHIP NEW GODS (BLACK)
Edition of 150 ciopies on black vinyl, with 425gsm heavy cardboard cover and lyric sheet. The band Coven we are talking about is not the thrash/death metal bunch from Seattle (who released the notorious Blessed Is The Black album in 1988). And it's not the obscure 1960s American band who might have issued the first ever Satanic rock album in history either (1969's 'Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls' - today a precious collector's item). 'Worship New Gods' is a doom metal monster originally released in 1987 and now re-released for the first time on High Roller Records (remastered by Patrick W. Engel at his Temple of Disharmony). Coven were initially formed in the motor city of Detroit in 1985.

SLEEP - DOPESMOKER (2LP/BROWN)
'Hasheeshian edition' on 180-gram brown/black/tan swirl vinyl! Limited to 2.000 copies. Reissue of an undisputed masterpiece, SLEEP's 63 minute long ode to weed, available once again as 2LP! 'Dopesmoker' remains unrivaled in the annals of (stoner) metal.

BACK IN STOCK - 2013.20

COVEN - WITCHCRAFT DESTROYS MINDS AND REAPS SOULS
Whether it was coincidence, influence, or good old show biz imitation, Coven's 1969 album featuring the lead-off track "Black Sabbath" was released the same year as the formation of the more popular heavy metal band. To make the story more even interesting, Coven featured a bass player named Oz Osborne. The soon-to-be-famous Ozzy's band Black Sabbath emerged a year after the release of this LP with a similar image and their own song called "Black Sabbath."

EARTHLINGS? - EARTHLINGS? (2LP)
Originally announced as single LP, now a double LP with much higher price. Double vinyl reissue of the 1999 debut album by EARTHLINGS?, the Joshua Tree "super group" initially known for the Desert Sessions (and their release on Man's Ruin), with it's revolving guest musicians including DAVE GROHL (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), SCOTT REEDER (Obsessed, Kyuss) and VICTORIA WILLIAMS. Mainstays in the band were PETE STAHL (Scream, Wool, Goatsnake), DAVE CATCHING (QOTSA), and FRED DRAKE (worked with Daniel Lanois, Vic Chesnutt and House of Love amongst others).

Image

JOSEFUS - JOSEFUS (180GR)
180 Gram vinyl reissue. The Texas based Josefus is the quintessence of hard psych "Made in the USA"-a gritty sound featuring prominent guitar and a solid and agile rhythmic base. This second album by Josefus, released a year after their debut, confirms their place as one of the most interesting and underestimated bands of the era. Largely influenced by early Zeppelin and British blues, Josefus deftly brought late sixties hard rock into the 70s, anticipating sounds that would later become synonymous with bands like ZZ Top and giving birth to a genre that would eventually give way to heavy metal.

Image

ART OF BURNING WATER - THIS DISGRACE
LIMITED EDITION 200 ONLY VINYL. Like Slayer gone sludge, ART OF BURNING WATER channel the prime noise-rock of vintage Zeni Geva and Godflesh with the more complex, rhythmical riff obsessions of the Melvins, Keelhaul and mid-period Voivod.

Image

BLACK SABBATH - SABOTAGE (COL)
On coloured vinyl and including reproduced artwork and labels, this is a reissue of their classic 1976 album.

IRON WITCH - HANGOVER SUICIDE
With their whiskey soaked, blues-ridden jams and a seriously pissed off attitude, Liverpool's IRON WITCH has become one of the most talked about acts on the burgeoning UK sludge/doom scene today. Here the band takes its sound to the next level, injecting a healthy dose of HC-influence to create what is their strongest material to date. B/w 'Death Was The Colour'.

CAPTAIN CRIMSON - DANCING MADLY BACKWARDS
70s rock had a revival during the latest ten years, but what is it that makes a band stand out in todays great variety of this kind of rock? Is it the uncompromising rawness of the blues-based Sabbath riffs that once was written? Is it the vintage speakers and instrument, combined with pure analogue recording that the commercial scene lacks? Or is it just spelled CAPTAIN CRIMSON? Four enthusiasts from Orebro , Sweden, have managed to shape a palette of blues-based rock with heavy, fuzzy elements. The result is a full-length album called "Dancing Madly Backwards" and recollects the tunes of GRAVEYARD, WITCHCRAFT, MOUNTAIN and LEAF HOUND. CAPTAIN CRIMSON also features Stefan Norn from BLOWBACK, who released "800 Miles" on Transubstans in 2010. As the band says: "We guarantee you that this album makes you swing your head to the beat of the music and fill you with euphoria that many bands lack." No more needs to be said. Limited to 400 copies on black 180 gram vinyl.

KADAVAR - ABRA KADAVAR (BLUE)
Germany's most authentic and passionate psychedelic hard rock combo of today releases its second full length, and the first for Nuclear Blast Records. On blue vinyl.

ALUK TODOLO - FINSTERNIS (AJNA OFFENSIVE)
Their second album, originally out on Public Guilt in 2010, now available in its definitive version and including the artwork wanted and designed by the band. Aluk Todolo are a recondite creature. Part okkult black metal fiend and part snide kraut menace. Somehow the doppelganger works and 'Finsternis' proves for a second time there is brilliance in the absence of light. Dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass. A dangerous, noxious coil of all things black.

Image

EARTHEN GRAVE - EARTHEN GRAVE (2LP)
Limited 2LP edition, with 2 BONUS live tracks. Formed in 2008, EARTHEN GRAVE is a five-piece Chicago metal band that marries the sounds of metal past and future with a sweaty, pummeling live show.

In addition, EARTHEN GRAVE has that "extra something special" with occasional guest 6th member live and boasting a Full collaboration on the new release with Rachel Barton Pine.

DEMETRA SINE DIE - (BLACK) A QUIET LAND OF FEAR
'A Quiet Land Of Fear' is a psychedelic trip through our fears. The sound is dark and visionary, cosmic and doom supported by synths and trumpet.

FUNERAL MARMOORI - VOLUME 1 (COL)
Limited orange vinyl. Heavy progressive doom from Florence, Funeral Marmoori, recorded their first album "Volume 1" released by BloodRock Records.

The Florence group, founded in 2008 by guitarist and singer Giulio Sieni and drummer Fabio Nanni, is enriched by the presence of bassist Marco Trentanove and keyboardist Nadin Petricelli. Their main musical influences lie in listening to the dark dark sound vibrations of the Italian pioneers Death SS and Paul Chain Violet Theatre, gloomy and sepulchral atmosphere on which are molded fascinating progressive solutions dictated by the magnificent sound of the keyboards, in particular Farfisa organ. Track-list: Funeral Marmoori Garden Of Doom Drunk Messiah Lorenzo Lamas Black Rooster Come With Us

Well worth the wait, BLOOD MOON RISE delivers not only a collection of catchy doom ballads, but a flowing tapestry of cursed, psychedelic heavy metal.

NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.23

CUT YOURSELF IN HALF - MEKKANIZM
Debut album by Bradford 4-piece energised, riff packed, stoner rockers. A hellish amalgam of the hook laden rolling stoner grooves of QOTSA and Red Fang, mashed with a mighty thump of Mastodon-esque heaviness and hard rock, all put through a psychedelic mangle. The music is huge, with thunderous riffs followed by thunderous rhythm changes and grooves that take in hardcore, doom and acid-rock, all executed with top class playing. LP on 180-gram blood-splatter vinyl. Presented in gatefold sleeve and includes download.

UNSILENCE - UNDER A TORN SKY
Slow, heavy epic doom metal with magnificent clean vocals. Unsilence is from the UK and this is their debut full-length album after many demos and MCDs. 'Under A Torn Sky' is old-school, arcane and epic doom metal not far from the style of Solstice and Doomsword and also appealing for traditional doom fans.

PHASED - PHASED (2LP)
Phased is a classic power-trio with members hailing from Sweden, Finland and Switzerland. Originally found in 1997 in Switzerland, the band has gone through some line-up changes. From 2001 to 2012 they were Chris Sigdell (singer and guitarist), Marko Lehtinen (drummer) and Chris Walt (bass). In summer 2012 Marco Grementieri of the hardcore metal band Zatokrev replaced Chris Walt on bass. Dr Space from Oresund Space Collective was a special guest on the last studio CD from 2009. Phased - hailed as the Hawkwind of doom by some, pavy rock. When their wall of sound hits the desert, the sand is blown to the sea, only to be drowned in a maelstrom of monstrous proportions. Phased is a razzmatazz of a style. It can be drawn out, even phlegmatic, other times it is spacey and sounds as if it was induced by fumes of pleasure, mostly it is just dark and metallic, as Phased playfully avoid falling into the various traps of such genres as stoner. This double vinyl LP is a compilation of the bands favourite tracks from their last 3 CD releases; Music for Gentlemen (2003), Medications (2006) and A Sort Of Spasmic Phlegm Induced By Leaden Fumes Of Pleasure (2009) and also includes one unreleased song.

INTER ARMA - DESTROYER
Mini-album, now also on vinyl! Inter Arma are known for their furious mix of black metal, southern stoner and Neurosis-style imperial riffage.

Image

MANILLA ROAD - (BLACK) OUT OF THE ABYSS
200 x black vinyl, 425gsm heavy gatefold cover, poster, 2 page insert. 1988's Out of the Abyss can't be classified as a typical Manilla Road album by any stretch of the imagination! Some say it is the darkest Manilla Road album ever and some are of the opinion that it was the most thrash metal influenced record in the band's long and fruitful career.

Image

MANILLA ROAD - (BLACK) THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS (2LP)
170 x black vinyl, downfold gatefold cover, poster, insert. Everybody who is familiar with Manilla Road's fine and criminally underrated body of work will know that 1992's Circus Maximus is the odd one out. Originally the album was supposed to be released as a Mark Shelton solo album. But this was not to be.

11PARANOIAS - SUPERUNNATURAL
After one jam on 11/11/11, Adam Richardson (Ramesses), Mike Vest (Bong) and Mark Greening (Ramesses) conjured a new band which they baptised as 11PARANOIAS. Ritual Production present their debut album. In an exclusive interview for Metal Hammer about the demise of Ramesses, Adam Richardson revealed more about 11PARANOIAS."It's definitely more psychedelic rock and it's still experimental and a bit crazy, but it's a bit less Ramesses. It's less aggro, but weirdly there are few parts that surpass even Ramesses for heaviness, which does make it a bit of a weird one. We weren't planning that but it just came out, and some stuff was ridiculously heavy, other stuff just sounded really tripped out and spacey - a 60s/70s psychedelic rock sort of sound."...he continues. "11PARANOIAS is going to be combination of Loop, Monster Magnet and Hawkwind, plus of course a bit of Ramesses and Bong. Those last two just basically equal the original three culprits plus ridiculous heaviness, whist bypassing having to sound like anyone else. It does sound fucking out there." Anyone who listens to this record will attest to the ridiculously heavy riffs and baselines, none more prominent than on my personal favourite track Reaper's Ruin. The freedom of expression and experimentation are particularly fluid throughout Ossuaries and Deceiver Of The Deep, with dark psychedelics at play on Inside Eusas Head. The LP is adorned by a terrific screen printed cover, rendered by Adam Richardson. The synergy between the three musicians is perfectly captured on this debut, and is proof enough that 11PARANOIAS have something unique to offer.

DOPETHRONE - DARK FOIL
First time on vinyl for Dopethrone's classic album, especially mastered for the occasion. Comes on beer coloured vinyl, includes a 4-page booklet, a black insert, and the whole thing is packed in a heavy matt varnished sleeve.

Image

LENTO/TONS - SPLIT LP (BROWN)
Heavy Psych Sound Records is stoked to announce the sludge split of the year! LENTO/TONS featuring 5 brand new unreleased tracks!! Awesome artwork by ALAN FORBES. Limited to 150 copies BROWN vinyl. Lento is an instrumental musical venture commenced in Rome, Italy, in fall 2004 whose main purpose is to give shape to an introspective approach with relentless efforts. It took 3 years to develop as an artistic issue and to give birth to Earthen, released in 2007 on behalf of Supernaturalcat, with Relapse supplying US distribution. TONS is an Italian band formed in Turin in October 2009 from the ashes of three popular hardcore bands of the city. The aim of the band is to remain close to the hardcore influence of the city where they were born but they decided to move on to sludge and doom. First album "Musineè Doom Session Volume 1".

Image

SONS OF OTIS - SEISMIC
This album revels in its hugeness of sound, and tracks like "Guilt" and "Far From Fine" arrive through the band's signature and inimitable cloud of space-smoke. Other bands get stoned, Sons of Otis seem to have been born that way. Baluke's vocals echo from a place behind the guitar amps and just to the left of Jupiter, but his guttural blues never sounded more natural taking on Mountain's "Never in My Life" (their second Mountain cover behind "Mississippi Queen" on Templeball), and the closing "Cosmic Jam" shows he's got the fuzz mastery to back up that LeslieWest appreciation. Always a mystery, always smoked out and completely unlike any other band in the world, Sons of Otis stand tall on Seismic and mark 20 years of making the heaviest psychedelia the world has ever known. Yes, we mean that. Recommended if you like: Acid King, Melvins, Tummler, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Clutch, Fu Manchu, Black Sabbath, Voivod, Electric Wizard and Shallow North Dakota.

RAMESSES - MISANTHROPIC ALCHEMY (2LP)
Re-release now on Ritual Production + bonus material. The first full album on double LP from former Electric Wizard members. The album features the trademark torrential riffing, psychedelic jams and enigmatic spells. Ramesses condense the Wizard's enormity into more manageable and more immediately comprehendible form and evoke Korpse and Sleep.

JEX THOTH - JEX THOTH
Formerly known as the band, Totem. Deluxe gatefold sleeve. Jex Thoth goes back to the nursery of heavy rock, the time when acid had nothing to do with dance music and long songs were divided into chapters. Did I hear somebody shout out Witch rather loudly? That OK, that somebody might have a point. There are plenty of similarities: we see a group of indie musicians who like to play retro-doom / hardrock and hear a guitar player who knows his way around with the wahwah pedal. Both bands are keen to show us they know their music-history. Of course there are differences as well. Jex Thoth succeeds where Witch tries. The singer voice will not be everyone taste, but if you like it, you have a 50 minute long maelstrom of pure, heavy psychedelic rock, with a green and purple, strangely wavy border.

JEX THOTH - TOTEM
Finally the vinyl version of the TOTEM MCD I HATE released in 2007 but now under the JEX THOTH moniker according to the band's wishes. Black vinyl.

Image

JEX THOTH - WITNESS
'Witness' is Jex Thoth's fourth release following the 'Totem' EP. All releases have received an overwhelmingly positive reception from both fans and press alike. This EP contains three new songs: two original compositions and a cover song that fluidly flow into 15 minutes of mellow psychedelia and proto-doom metal with influences stemming from the 60s and 70s. 'Witness' is perhaps less guitar oriented than before, with the mood becoming more melancholy in the process; the music is heavy yet laid back and openly nostalgic without being sentimental or trite. The band's biggest strengths are the haunting vocals of Jex and avoiding the usual trap of carbon copying its predecessors. As such this MCD should appeal fans of pastoral, psychedelic rock/metal with a firm footing in the past but not necessarily dwelling there. The cover song 'Mr. Rainbow' was originally conceived by 70s avant-pop ensemble Slapp Happy. Artwork is courtesy of Sami Hynninen (Reverend Bizarre, The Puritan, Opium Warlords, Spiritus Mortis, etc).

PYRAMIDAL - (BLACK) DAWN IN SPACE (2LP)
Pyramidal is a progressive psychedelic/space rock band from Alicante, Spain. Their album debut "Dawn In Space" is a long play mostly instrumental, full of lysergic sounds, obscure psychedelia and hypnotic rhythms that will take you to the deepest trance." Influences from Hawkwind, Can, Black Sabbath, Amon Duul, Ash Ra Tempel.

DOOMDOGS - UNLEASH THE TRUTH (2LP)
MOTOR-DOOM WITH THE STONER-ENGINE ON OVERDRIVE Okay, track number two starts off with beautifully dated mellotron waves, so for a brief moment one may almost suspect our doomed brothers from Gothenburg Sweden to have dropped their doom/stoner pants and leave behind the heaviness and sheer LOUDness of their debut released eighteen months ago on DOOMENTIA..... But NO, not only have the mighty Dogs lost none of their earth-shattering grooves and Iommi sponsored riffing wizardry, but as it turns out ,Unleash The Truth" will show all the naysayers that theres way more to be found underneath those gritty rockers sweat than just another Sabbath worshipping band. True, they did record a cover of their heroes for this second full-length, but instead of the obvious choice -"what about an umpteenth version of War Pigs for instance?" - they went for the lesser known "A National Acrobat" (off Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) whose crossover nature proves quite a template for them to follow. Because even though this new Doomdogs album was recorded on 24 track 2 inche tape in the same analogue-only studio as their self-titled debut and still embraces stoner, metal and sludge - it now adds loans from good ol boogie blues stompin rocknroll as well as retro prog! The earth-crushing intro of the track "Welcome To The Future" alone will knock your socks off! So this thirteen tracks and 65+ minutes monster is like a turbocharged version of SPIRITUAL BEGGARS (before they turned into ,Mike Amotts little vanity project") mixed with KING CRIMSONs most pastoral moments and CROWBAR when in full 70s rock mode. Doesnt make sense? Believe us, it sure will the moment you hear ,Unleash The Truth" for the first time. Need some more convincing? what about Victor Griffin then ? PENTAGRAM and PLACE OF SKULLS already immortal six-stringer whose extensive soloing on the aforementioned Sabbath rendition makes it even more perfect to conclude the incredible ride that is ,Unleash The Truth". So get ready... cause the mighty Dogs are back.... unleashed and hungry for more!

Image

CHAIN, PAUL - LIFE AND DEATH (BLACK)
Black vinyl, ltd. to 400. Life and Death, talian doom metal magister Paul Chain's first solo album after disbanding Violet Theatre, is musically a more traditional affair than the psychedelic experimentation he became synonymous with later in his career.

WITCHES OF GOD - THE BLOOD OF OTHERS
'The Blood Of Others' is the debut album by Witches Of God, which formed in Los Angeles, California in early 2012. 'The Blood Of Others' is produced by Witches Of God with Samur Khouja (Devendra Banhart, The Strokes, Joanna Newsom). It was recorded and mixed by Khouja over 10 days using an almost entirely analog process in Los Angeles and was mastered by Joona Lukala (Pentagram, Killing Joke) in Turku, Finland. Legendary doomster, Scott 'Wino' Weinrich (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Shrinebuilder), and Los Angeles Nista, Eddie Solis (It's Casual, Revolution Mother), each make appearances on the record. Wino throws down guest vocals on the track 'The Horror' while Solis drops in on both 'Higher Than The Heavens' (a song dedicated to the memory of Voivod's Piggy) and the haunting album closer 'Chasing Coffins'. Artist Tom Neely (Henry & Glenn Forever) created the visually stunning gatefold artwork with additional coloring by artist Kristina Collantes. 'The Blood Of Others' is pressed on 180-gram 12-inch black vinyl. As a bonus, it comes packaged together with a compact disc version of the album.

BLOOD CEREMONY - THE ELDRITCH DARK
Deluxe gatefold vinyl with metallic lettering Since the release of their sophomore album, LIVING WITH THE ANCIENTS, Blood Ceremony has worked hard to solidify their reputation as a worthy live act. Beginning with a well-received showcase at the prestigious Roadburn Festival, the band capped-off a series of 2011 European dates with Swedens GHOST, playing a sold-out, headline show in London, UK. In the fall of 2011, they completed their first headlining tour of Europe, which saw the band received enthusiastically by fans in Scandinavia and Central Europe. This tour culminated in a performance at the Hammer of Doom VI Festival in WGermany. In 2012 they were direct support for GHOST on the highly successful "13 Dates of Doom" North American tour. Later in 2012, BLOOD CEREMONY performed at Calgarys celebrated NOCTIS V Metal Festival. After these live performances, BLOOD CEREMONY enclosed themselves within a dank, tomb-like chamber to begin preparations for their third album. After a mind-numbing spell in the analogue womb of Toronto's ProGold Studios, the band is now ready to unveil their newest, and most accomplished, musical offering: THE ELDRITCH DARK. Recorded and mixed by producer Ian Blurton (Cauldron, Cursed) and mastered by Canadian recording legend Nick Blagona (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Crazy World of Arthur Brown), THE ELDRITCH DARK is a full-length paean to the darker corners of folklore and legend. Containing eight tracks of black magic rock 'n' roll, the album crackles with the excitement of a nocturnal ritual. Tales of witch-cult gatherings in wooded glens, pacts made in torch-lit abbeys and Victorian magic are accompanied by vintage-style hard rock riffs, snaking bass lines and stirring flute melodies. THE ELDRITCH DARK also sees the band exploring a more folksier side of their sound; most evident in the hymn-like "Lord Summerisle" and the murderous folk-rock epic, "Ballad of the Weird Sisters". 19th century sorcerer, Oliver Haddo, makes a return appearance in the riff-hypnotic album closer, "The Magician". "Only at a Blood Ceremony show are devil horns the correct response to a triumphantly raised flute." ~NOW MAGAZINE.

CHURCH OF MISERY - THY KINGDOM SCUM (2LP)
CHURCH OF MISERY was founded by Tatsu Mikami (bass guitar) back in 1995. After the breakup of his leading thrash metal band SALEM, a band that had toured in the UK several times and received critical acclaim from metal fans and press alike. Tatsu decided to start his own solo project. He wanted to do something that reflected his other musical inspirations - doom metal and doom rock. Apart from metal and thrash, he was strongly influenced by doom bands like SAINT VITUS, BLACK SABBATH and became aware that his own riffs had started to include doom vibes. Also, he was very much into late 60s/early 70s heavy rock material like LEAF HOUND, NOVEMBER, MAY BLITZ, HIGH TIDE, GUN, BLUE OYSTER CULT and so on. It was natural for him to shift his musical direction from metal to a more rock-influenced style.

HORISONT - TIME WARRIORS
Formed in Gothenburg back in 2005, Horisont have paid their dues rocking and sweating it out in the underground clubs and bars of Europe ever since. Key slots at some of Europe's larger rock festivals in 2012 led to more widespread recognition and standout reviews. 'Time Warriors', their third full-length album, showcases just how far they have come in terms of precise musicianship, songwriting and dedication to the music they passionately believe in. Although their influences and basic inspirations may come from a genuine love of o-so-classic '70s rock and metal bands such as Priest, UFO, Sabbath and Thin Lizzy, Horisont plays music with a feeling that is more relevant today than it's ever been.

SATAN'S SATYRS - WILD BEYOND BELIEF
This band from Virginia, USA, was among the revelations of the 2013 edition of the annual Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands. SATAN'S SATYRS merge the riffing, the tone, the fuzz, and the cult-horror worship of the ultra-doom underground with the unbridled energy, lo-fi production, and fuck-you attitude of garage punk!! Influences include THE ROLLING STONES, BLACK FLAG, ELECTRIC WIZARD and BLACK SABBATH.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS - POISON APPLE
Yes, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats have, in recent times, become one of the most talked about rock bands currently in existence. 'Mind Control' (their third full-length album) is set for release in April, following their two debut London sell-out concerts at The Garage. This single will be released the same week as those performances. From the album comes the monstrously catchy 'Poison Apple', which gives a glimpse into their exciting dark melodic realm and fuzzorama enhanced tales of terror and horror. 'Mind Control' is a concept album with a theme that makes the acts and intentions of the likes of Charles Manson and Jim Jones seem like petty crimes. What makes 'Mind Control' scarier than most albums is that it doesn't seem as sinister on the surface as it really is deep down within the core of its black acid-drenched world of pain and torture. It's very easy to get carried away and lost in the magnificent heavy groovy sounds and psychedelic jams but dont forget this UNCLE ACID HAS COME TO KILL!! TRACKLISTING: 01. POISON APPLE 02. UNDER THE SPELL

CATHEDRAL (UK) - A NEW ICE AGE
Limited to 700!!! Brand new studio recordings from this popular British band!!!! As Cathedral reach the end of a 22 year career, they are pleased to announce the release of this one-off limited 12" EP featuring two killer new tracks.

Image

CATHEDRAL - THE LAST SPIRE (2LP)
And lo, Lee Dorrian, mouthpiece of Cathedral for 23 years, doth solemnly intone the death rites of this mighty British metal Titan. Born in the dying days of Thatcher's Britain, bonding over then-unfashionable, obscure names like Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Trouble and Dream Death, Cathedral's sole ambition was to record a demo tape. In fact they revolutionised doom metal, first pushing their influences into new avenues of grinding extremity, then pioneering groovier forms of '70s-indebted stoner doom. They've remained a reassuring and singular presence in our lives, building a rabid following worldwide with their wholly distinctive blend of rollicking British heavy metal, true doom, 70s hard rock, psych-folk, mad prog and spiky crust-punk. There was a worrying hiatus between 2005 and 2010 when some dared to wonder if Cathedral were coming back at all - but they re-emerged with 'The Guessing Game', an overflowing treasure chest of weird and wonderful goodies exploring new, bold variations on their craft. So when news came that Cathedral really were approaching the Endtyme, it was a shock. "Personally speaking, this is the album I've been waiting to do since the first one (their landmark 1991 debut, Forest of Equilibrium), it almost feels like we made our second album last in some respects. We actually recorded a lot more material but decided to sacrifice many of the tracks to make the overall album feel more complete in its nihilism. I don't like happy endings, I never have. So many good films are ruined by happy endings and I didn't want that to be the case with Cathedral, it was my dream to bring everything full circle." Says Lee Dorrian. Clearly there was new impetus for reconnecting with that early spirit of doleful abjection, of sinister obsessions and lamented desires; on 'The Last Spire' Cathedral are literally doomed. We are commiserating the celebration, and in what thrilling style.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS - MIND CONTROL (2LP)
It is a fact that Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats have, in recent times, become one of the most talked about rock bands currently in existence. The fact that no one even knew what they looked like until very recently is testimony to the enigma that surrounds this terrifying, yet extremely melodically minded cult. It is another fact that they have become one of the most collectable bands on the planet, with first press vinyl editions of Blood Lust fetching up to and over 700 (yes, British Pounds!) on the collectors market. Pretty remarkable for a record that is barely two years old. Mind Control (their third full-length album) is set for release in April 2013, following their two debut London sell-out concerts at The Garage. Within it's blood soaked grooves you will hear shocking tales of bizarre desert ceremonies, religious brainwashing and drug inspired mass slaughter! Imagine the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges, whilst sitting on murder charges and you may get a glimpse into their fuzzed up world of exploding tube amps and cymbal smashing mayhem. However, this enticing act of musical manipulation is merely the icing upon a very sick cake. Mind Control is a concept album with a theme that makes the acts and intentions of the likes of Charles Manson and Jim Jones seem like petty crimes. What makes Mind Control scarier than most albums is that it doesnt seem as sinister on the surface as it really is deep down within the core of its black acid-drenched world of pain and torture. The infectious energy surges and pulverizing grooves of Mind Crawler, tell the tale of a man on a mission who has fled from Mount Abraxas after mercilessly murdering all the members of his cult. He rides his motorcycle through the gates of hell and hijacks the weak minds of yet more foolish disciples to join him in his desert hideaway. This is when the real fun and terror truly commences... There was no escaping the chained-to-the brain hooks and melodies of first single from the album, Poison Apple, but this was merely a trailer for the real hellish delights now to be bestowed upon the earth. Recorded at the legendary Chapel Studios over an autumnal full moon using the finest western electrical technology, engineer Jim Spencer (Bert Jansch, Robert Wyatt) has perfectly captured the bands live sound of saturated fuzz, mind-bending riffs and 60's vocal harmonies. A wider range of influences can be heard from both music and cinema, but their founding principle of presenting light and darkness still remains. Simple and ragged in all its low life glory, Mind Control is the ultimate expose of killer cult madness and mind manipulation.

GATES OF SLUMBER - HYMNS OF BLOOD AND THUNDER (2LP)
Regular but limited double lp coloured vinyl version of fourth album from the highly respected doom outfit. Skull-crushing doom!! A must for any fan of Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, early Sabbath and vintage Trouble.

Image

LORD VICAR - SIGNS OF OSIRIS (2LP)
Vinyl version of the second full lengh album. As the final nails were hammered to the coffin of Reverend Bizarre (1995-2007, R.I.P.), guitar player Peter Vicar started to follow his vision of a new True Doom Metal band. He felt forced to fulfill his need to compose and play this most arcane form of metal in the way it was meant to be, full of intensity, cruelty, heaviness, and force. Still firmly walking in the footsteps of Saint Vitus, Trouble, Witchfinder General and Pentagram, this new band brings together an international lineup of four devoted metalheads. The first release was a 7" EP The Demon of Freedom, released by heavier than life Swedish label I Hate Records (http://www.ihate.se/). The EP was based on an old werewolf legend from the island of Hiiumaa, as narrated by Finnish author Aino Kallas (1878-1956) in her novel Sudenmorsian (The Wolfs Bride, 1928). The EP contains three songs, "Hiiumaa", "Becoming One With the Spirit of the Forest", and "Running Into a Burning House", recorded in London, Stockholm, North Carolina and Turku respectively. Stranger passing by, hear my advice. Look forward to the new offerings for the Elder Gods, and then remain on your knees until the first Lord Vicar full-length albums Fear No Pain and Signs of Osiris are revealed to this world. For the first of these, the time has come. Tracks: Sign of Osiris Slain, The Answer, Child Witness, Between the Blue Temple and the North Tower, Sinking City, Endless November, Sign of Osiris Risen.

MOSS (UK) - HORRIBLE NIGHT (2LP)
'Horrible Night' is the sound of MOSS emerging from its cocoon, becoming a much more savage, intelligent and all the more terrifying beast. While no longer obsessed with extremity for its own sake -with weirdly infectious riffs, eccentric vocal melodies and no song over 12 minutes- MOSS remain heavier-than-thou, broadening their horror beyond any imposed 'scene' expectations. This mastery of the craft is evident from the opening moments of first track 'Horrible Nights' -written back in 2010 it sets the course for the album, taking the twisting death-crawl of MOSS mini-epics such as "Tombs Of The Blind Drugged' and administering a lethal dose of addictive melody, cooked up by the colossal riffs of Dominic Finbow and the Ozzy-via-seance vocalisations of Olly Pearson. Cuts such as 'The Coral Of Chaos' and 'Dark Lady' expand further upon this potent formula, dragging the Black Sabbath blueprint to its most nightmarish conclusion and ushering MOSS further into their newest dark age. With 6 tracks, MOSS proves more than ever why this English cult band is regarded exactly as such. While still no easy pill to swallow for the uninitiated, over its duration 'Horrible Night' will demand complete mind control. Nonsense prefixes such as "stoner", "sludge" or "drone" do not apply here; this is pure DOOM METAL, a celebration of horror, the arcane and the unknown. Although traditionally a reluctant live act, in 2013 MOSS are set to embark on their first European headline tour, as well as a return trip to Holland's Roadburn Festival, playing Jus Oborn's Electric Acid Orgy with Electric Wizard, Dream Death, Psychic TV and the Pretty Things, it seems in their 13th year MOSS have finally arrived.

ORCHID - (CLEAR/RED) THROUGH THE DEVILS DOORWAY
Gatefold sleeve, Heavy vinyl (limited clear/red version) poster Amazing '70s occult rock from San Francisco. More Sabbath than Sabbath, blacker than black! It is truly almost incredible how well these four guys from San Francisco managed to recapture the spirit of early Black Sabbath. The first song 'Into the Sun' has a significant similarity to Sabbath's 'Children of the Grave', but it also recalls Trouble's self titled album from 1990.

Eight years after the demise of Acrimony, guitarist Stu OHara, bassist Mead, drummer Darren Ivey and vocalist Dorian Walters have reconvened. Not wanting the limitations of reforming a project long dead to them, Sigiriya brings a fresh take on their trademark monolithic heavy groove. While Acrimony hailed from the temples of deepest space, Sigiriya come from the earthy depths, bringing hefty, tremor-inducing sonics that pay homage to the riff. , Tracks: 1. The mountain Goat 2. Tobacco Sunrise 3. Hurricane 4. Whiskey Song 5. Dark Fires 6. Robot Funeral 7. Deathtrip to Eryri

WITCHSORROW - GOD CURSE US (2LP)
For years, if not decades, Heavy Metal's heaviest sub-genre known as Doom Metal has been something enigma, yet also generally ignored by the metal masses. Its flames kept fanning by a mere handful of cave-dwelling enthusiasts that fully understood its emotional depth and beauty. With this in mind, it was almost inconceivable to imagine that it would become as widely acknowledged and appreciated as it is today. Since recent times the term "Doom Metal" is used almost as commonly as any other form of metal and whilst many trends have come and gone, Doom never went away. Now that it is a more commonly accepted genre, it has typically led to an abundance bandwagon jumpers coming to the funeral. Using as much copy and paste occult paraphernalia possible cant disguise the fact that they're not genuinely into the art, or in fact particularly that great. Witchsorrow are a prime example of a band unaffected by this Johnny-come-lately approach and play their pure and epic non-pretentious brand of Doom Metal straight from the heart. If their self-titled 2010 debut suggested that, God Curse Us All confirms it. Witchsorrow are a prime example of a band who play their pure and epic non-pretentious brand of Doom Metal straight from the heart. If their self-titled 2010 debut suggested that, God Curse Us All confirms it. Highly anticipated second album, for fans of Electric Wizard and Cathedral. Released on heavyweight vinyl.

LOST BREED - WINO DAZE
In 1988 - around the time that Saint Vitus were dropped from SST and in a state of flux - legendary frontman Scott "Wino" Weinrich joined the LA metal band LOST BREED as their singer for around nine months. During that time they played a bunch of gigs and recorded a demo. Wino then hooked up again with Vitus for the next couple of years and LOST BREED went on to do two albums thanks to Wino's connection with Hellhound Records of Germany, Save Yourself and The Evil In You And Me. Anyway, enough of the history lesson. This recording was bootlegged by Marshall Levy/Mars Hall of Doom/Peace Records of Maryland and has never been widely available until now and today.

PRIMITIVE MAN - SCORN
Denver, Colorado's PRIMITIVE MAN unleash a filthy, malignant maelstrom of blackened doom on their debut album 'Scorn'. Thrillingly misanthropic in their approach, Primitive Man drench their post-apocalyptic vision of the world in waves of feedback, pummeling guitars and hopelessly frightening vocals. If a bright end of summer record is what you're in need of, run as fast as you can from 'Scorn', since this is grade-A hateful, soul-annihilating music of the darkest order.

NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.37

Image

SONS OF OTIS - SEISMIC
This album revels in its hugeness of sound, and tracks like "Guilt" and "Far From Fine" arrive through the band's signature and inimitable cloud of space-smoke. Other bands get stoned, Sons of Otis seem to have been born that way. Baluke's vocals echo from a place behind the guitar amps and just to the left of Jupiter, but his guttural blues never sounded more natural taking on Mountain's "Never in My Life" (their second Mountain cover behind "Mississippi Queen" on Templeball), and the closing "Cosmic Jam" shows he's got the fuzz mastery to back up that LeslieWest appreciation. Always a mystery, always smoked out and completely unlike any other band in the world, Sons of Otis stand tall on Seismic and mark 20 years of making the heaviest psychedelia the world has ever known. Yes, we mean that. Recommended if you like: Acid King, Melvins, Tummler, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Clutch, Fu Manchu, Black Sabbath, Voivod, Electric Wizard and Shallow North Dakota.

WITCHES OF GOD - THE BLOOD OF OTHERS
'The Blood Of Others' is the debut album by Witches Of God, which formed in Los Angeles, California in early 2012. 'The Blood Of Others' is produced by Witches Of God with Samur Khouja (Devendra Banhart, The Strokes, Joanna Newsom). It was recorded and mixed by Khouja over 10 days using an almost entirely analog process in Los Angeles and was mastered by Joona Lukala (Pentagram, Killing Joke) in Turku, Finland. Legendary doomster, Scott 'Wino' Weinrich (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Shrinebuilder), and Los Angeles Nista, Eddie Solis (It's Casual, Revolution Mother), each make appearances on the record. Wino throws down guest vocals on the track 'The Horror' while Solis drops in on both 'Higher Than The Heavens' (a song dedicated to the memory of Voivod's Piggy) and the haunting album closer 'Chasing Coffins'. Artist Tom Neely (Henry & Glenn Forever) created the visually stunning gatefold artwork with additional coloring by artist Kristina Collantes. 'The Blood Of Others' is pressed on 180-gram 12-inch black vinyl. As a bonus, it comes packaged together with a compact disc version of the album.

BONGRIPPER - SATAN WORSHIPPING DOOM
Fourth repress of their 2010 album. This album has only four tracks: 'Hail', 'Satan', 'Worship', and 'Doom', each spanning more than ten-minutes in length. The harsh, epic, menacing sound of these songs is difficult to describe; the closest I can get is saying that if DXM were a metal album, it would be Bongripper's 'Satan Worshipping Doom'. In spite of this album's lack of vocal tracks, the concept of the album is clear. Unlike the drug-obsessed sludge of previous Bongripper-releases, this one is an ode to hardcore Satanism. The hypnotic beats and overtly devil-worshipping cover art and song titles more than let us know. Not only is this change in concept refreshing, it's pretty fucking cool. The songs on this album are slow, menacing, and fucking awesome, especially when combined with a fat sack of weed or (better yet) a refreshing bottle of DXM cough syrup.

PELICAN - FOREVER BECOMING
PELICAN's fifth album is an immense, speaker-rattling meditation on the infinite cycle of death and life.

VARIOUS - DESERTFEST 2013 LIVE IN LONDON
The track on this LP were recorded at the 3-day stoner/doom festival in London, in April 2013! The track listing features some of the best bands from the underground, including Unida (ft. John Garcia), Dozer, House Of Broken Promises, Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man, Colour Haze, Lowrider...

DE NOVISSIMIS/WRECK OF THE HESPERUS - SPLIT 10"
LAST COPIES! The Dublin, Ireland doom metal scene is represented on this new 10", which features one massive track each from Wreck Of The Hesperus and De Novissimis, and just as we'd expect from a single piece of vinyl matching up these two bands, this is seriously heavy shit. Both of these bands are already known. Wreck Of The Hesperus through their excellent full-length on Aesthetic Death that came out a year or two ago, and De Novissimis through their CDR demo and a recent 7" that came out on Rimbaud. Both bands put their own spin on ultra-slow, noxious doom/sludge, and each side weighs down on you like a pallet of concrete blocks. Wreck Of The Hesperus are up first with "Raw Sewage Heart", a hideous splooge of blackened ultradoom that focuses on one monstrous riff wading through about ten minutes of buzzing feedback, garbled amplifier drone, and fithy low-end rumble. The riff is totally crushing, and the band plays at a sickeningly slow 10 bpm crawl with huge pauses between each crashing chord and pounding bass-drum hit, but it's the vocals that really make this as diseased and demonic as it is. You've got to wait awhile for 'em - the vocaltist doesn't show up until three or four minutes in, when the band is totally immersed in septic sludge - but when they finally kick in, it sounds like Regan from The Exorcist fronting Toadliquor, with multiple voices all coming out of the same throat at the same time, bestial death metal roars, psychotic cackles, weird slurping noises that sounds like someones chowing down on a plate of mashed potatoes. The drumming is also really cool, throwing in busy martial snare rhythms and rolls in between each suspended riff, and adding a coiled tension to their corrosive doom. Total slime! Contrasting Wreck Of The Hesperus's hellish descension with their own crusty nihilism, De Novissimis deliver a vicious track called "Worthy Of Nothing" for their side of this split, a near 10 minute blast of depressing, fatalist lyrics, long stretches of shimmering feedback, high pitched yowling vocals that trade off with deeper, more gutteral death metal style growls, and the expected glacial propulsion. The riffs are more atmospheric than you might expect though; slightly dissonant chords drift across the lumbering drumming, while another guitar plays a creepy minor key melody, and the song occasionally breaks away into total ambient drift where it's just the guitars chiming away and rumbling in space, only to crash back in a moment later into dense, droning, noisy ultradoom. Then all of a sudden from out of nowhere in the middle of the song, De Novissmis explode into furious blackened blasting, blastbeat drums and atonal grindcore whipped up into a violent sonic storm, and from there the song alternates between the plodding feedback-strewn blackdoom and epic murky crust, like Dystopia mixed with Grief, Christdriver and Khanate. Packaged in a glossy jacket with rad artwork on both sides, and a couple of inserts. Black vinyl.

Image

BANDA DE LA MUERTE - PULSO DE UNA MENTE MALDITA
Banda de la Muerte is without doubt one of the most promising acts on the Argentinean underground heavy music scene. The band is part of the steadily gathering strength South American sludge movement and is successfully implementing metal, stoner, sludge, hardcore punk traits into their music. Still, the label which the band would use is rock'n'roll. Pretty heavy and potent rock'n'roll indeed!

Image

PREMONITION 13 - 13
Fronted by the legendary SCOTT "WINO" WEINRICH (THE OBSESSED, SAINT VITUS, SPIRIT CARAVAN, THE HIDDEN HAND, SHRINEBUILDER).

Image

SAINT IVO - DOOMESTICATION
Silver print on solid black rough cartonstock, 180g clear vinyl Dark, doom metal.

Image

BONG - IDLE DAYS ON THE YANN
A great slab of wax from Newcastle's premium blazers BONG. 'Idle Days On The Yann' follows on from their untitled 2013 Record Store Day LP, and this new 40 minute beast has the enhanced -and perhaps unexpected- addition of vocals from Holly Forster. Holly's zoned out vocals mirror the lumbering psych doom vibe that this quartet have built over the last 6 years. Killer artwork by Lucy Johnson as with their release on MIE Music. The LP is pressed in an edition of 700 copies. Includes download of the album.

Image

MIDRYASI - BLACK, BLUE & VIOLET
The third album by this heavy psychedelic doom band from Italy, coinciding with their tenth anniversary. Numbered edition of 300 LP's on 180-gram splatter vinyl. For fans of f.i. Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Celtic Frost, Pentagram and heavy progressive rock.

Image

ALBINO PYTHON - (BLACK) THE DOOMED AND THE DAMNED
Limited 100 copies BLACK vinyl. Heavy doom from Arizona, this duo will rip your face off with heavy riffs and big choruses. The Doomed & The Damned, a drugged-out ripper of a doom record that recalls names like Electric Wizard with their references to the dark arts and devotion to fuzzy, weight riffs.

JESU - EVERYDAY I GET CLOSER TO THE LIGHT FROM WHICH I CAME
Two years in the making, this the long awaited 2013 album from JESU. Majestic, slowly evolving, introspective, blissed out, moving in many ways... A masterpiece! LP on 180-gram black vinyl.

BACK IN STOCK - 2013.38

ELDER - SPIRES BURN
Repress! Massachusetts based ELDER release two new servings of heavy psych rock, clocking in at 22-plus minutes. Two tracks channeling California desert rock à la Kyuss, still retaining some of the Sleep influence of the earlier releases.

SABBATH ASSEMBLY - YE ARE GODS (USA)
US edition on vinyl. Reaching beyond the scope of 'Restored To One', 2012' 'Ye Are Gods' incorporates the ritual text and structure of the Process Church of the Final Judgment's highest and holiest mass, the Sabbath Assembly liturgy (after which the band is named). Includes 20-page book.

IRON WITCH - HANGOVER SUICIDE
With their whiskey soaked, blues-ridden jams and a seriously pissed off attitude, Liverpool's IRON WITCH has become one of the most talked about acts on the burgeoning UK sludge/doom scene today. Here the band takes its sound to the next level, injecting a healthy dose of HC-influence to create what is their strongest material to date. B/w 'Death Was The Colour'.

PELICAN/PLAYING ENEMY - SPLIT 7"
Coloured vinyl repress for Record Store Day 2012. Pelican perform 'Sirius' and the track by Playing Enemy is 'The Priest Cop'.

Image

EAGLE TWIN - FEATHER TIPPED THE SERPENT'S SCALE (2LP)
Double LP version with bonus live track.

Image

MAGIC CIRCLE - MAGIC CIRCLE
Drawing from classic NWOBHM and traditional metal influences, this five piece comprised of veteran local musicians have turned out a well crafted solid as hell metal album. They've definitely done their listening homework over the years. Strong and catchy songs, heavy but not tuned down, recorded well but not overproduced, it captures the old DIY ethic of metal in the early 80s. The vocals have an almost Ozzy quality at times, solid as hell. We're totally stoked on this record! Members of MIND ERASER, RIVAL MOB, NO TOLERANCE, DOOMRIDERS etc.

Image

SLEEP - DOPESMOKER (2LP/CLEAR)
Limited CLEAR VINYL VERSION. Reissue of an undisputed masterpiece, SLEEP's 63 minute long ode to weed, available once again as 2LP! 'Dopesmoker' remains unrivaled in the annals of (stoner) metal. Remastered, now including the unreleased live track 'Holy Mountain', recorded in 1994.

ANCIENT WARLOCKS - ANCIENT WARLOCKS
The s/t debut album by this upcoming Seattle-based rock band. Expect a down tuned sound and plenty of stoner/psychedelia insopired guitar outburst. Limited edition of 300 copies.

EARTHLESS - FROM THE AGES (2LP)
Their first new studio album since 2007's 'Rhythms From A Cosmic Sky'. Double-LP version.

Image

NIGHTSTALKER - THE RITUAL (BLACK)
Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl. The year 2000 found Nightstalker hibernating. It had already been four years since 'Use' -their last album thus far- and there was nothing new to add to their discography continuum. This space was filled by 'The Ritual', which offers four Nightstalker songs that were recorded during the summer of '98 and '99, plus a cover of Motorhead's 'Iron Horse'. All in all, this is an exciting 27-minute blend of psychedelia, stoner and punk.

RUSSIAN CIRCLES - MEMORIAL
LP in gatefold sleeve and including download card. One of the most notable aspects of this fifth album by Chicago-based three-piece Russian Circles, which almost sounds like a split personality, is the wide range of emotions. Compared to their previous releases the heavy parts are more blown out while the pretty moments are far more restrained, delicate and atmospheric. One track features special guest vocalist Chelsea Wolfe!

A STORM OF LIGHT - NATIONS TO FLAMES (2LP)
A Storm Of Light are New York-based metal alchemists, featuring former NEUROSIS visual master Josh Graham. Kim Thayil (SOUNDGARDEN) lends guitar on several tracks. On this release the band ditched the heavy rock elements of their previous release in favour of influences of f.i. Killing Joke, Bad Brains, Metallica and Crash Worship. This approach brings back the intensity of 'Black Ocean', but with the speed and precision that reminds of the band's metal influences. While there are still some slower/sludgy tunes, some songs are twice as fast as the older material.

Image

LUMBAR - THE FIRST AND LAST DAYS OF UNWELCOME
A crushing sonic endeavour featuring Mike Scheidt (YOB) and Tad Doyle (Yes, of F***ING TAD-fame!!) and Aaron Edge (HIMSA). An intense, monolithic and emotional outpouring that (out)rages against Aaron Edge's personal struggle with multiple sclerosis.

Image

NOOTHGRUSH/COFFINS - SPLIT LP
COFFINS from Japan churn out a dose of utterly filthy noise. Oakland, CA's NOOTHGRUSH are amongst the pioneers of sludge and return with their first brand new material in over 13 years. A relevant split!

URFAUST - GEIST IST TEUFEL
Urfaust is an occult audial vessel of madness that was invoked in 1999. Ritual doom metal. Jacket with silver print on rough black carton stock, printed & heavy innersleeves, black & heavy 180g virgin vinyl.

Image

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM - BBC SESSION 2011 ANNO DOMINI
On offer are two songs from 'Celestial Lineage', performed live for BBC Radio in 2011.

NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.44

ARGUS (USA) - BEYOND THE MARTYRS
Filled with doom-tinged, traditional heavy metal, Argus' third album is sure to force metal heads everywhere to raise horn-crested fists to the sky. 'Beyond The Martyrs' contains all of the hallmarks of their previous works, including twin guitars, soaring vocals, and a driving rhythm section. This is heavy, melodic, epic, and brooding all at once. If you don't like this album, you don't like metal! Vinyl version.

Image

EL CAMINO - (BLACK) GOLD OF THE GREAT DECEIVER
Limited to 200 copies on black vinyl. Nassjo's most sinister doom-metal band is back. The group's second full-length is dirty, raw and completely oozes of malice. It's heavy and seriously demented... "EL CAMINO delivers earcandy in its most perverse form." ~Close Up Magazine 152, June 2013.

Image

HORN OF THE RHINO - BREED THE CHOSEN ONE (2LP)
After the two successful releases of Weight of Coronation in 2010 and Grengus two years later, one could say its only logical to see both DOOMENTIA and HORN OF THE RHINO once again joining forces, but this time for a good old blast from the past. Originally released through 7th GATE RECORDS back in 2007, Breed the Chosen One was the first of the two albums the Basque Country-based proud three-headed monster initially recorded as RHINO. Even if compared to their later works that debut will probably sound a tad more aggressive and thrash/hardcore-oriented, the amazing thing about it is the trio's unique blend of various styles of metal - from doom to sludge and grunge - was already firmly in place six years ago. Like DANZIG, HIGH ON FIRE and later ENTOMBED all wrapped up in one. Dark yet melodic and not afraid of pulling all stops one minute and speeding up the next, the band's main strength was already his frontman and vocalist Javier Gàlvez. Like a more possessed sounding Chris Cornell on his way down to hell, he's the one taking Breed the Chosen One to the next level, proving that the Bilbao boys hadnt waited Weight of Coronation to learn how to be and sound bloody great. This time, there's no point trying to deny the deafening stomping of the RHINO.

HORSE LATITUDES - BLACK SOIL
When speaking about Black Soil, Lurkerspath.com draws a parallel in between what ALUK TODOLO are to black-metal and what HORSE LATITUDES are to doom, like a strange entity that cannot be tamed. And theyve got a point. First off, those weirdos have ever been what you can call your typical doom band in the first place. And their extensive use of not one but TWO bass players and lack of guitar is just a part of the riddle. See, those three Finns have always been first and foremost about repetition. And theres always been something very ritualistic about their music, as if it was their way of entering the next world. And this has never been as vibrant as on this brand-new 12"MLP. This being said, MLP might not be the most appropriate term as the whole thing clocks at nearly 40 minutes, with the song "Eternal Spring" swallowing the whole B side. And whereas on the flipside both "Black Soil" and "Forest" present a quite versatile face full of analog synths, death growls and vibrant drumming, this final epic of 17 + minutes take their already legendary sense of minimalism to new heights. If at some point the song seems to come to a halt, it finishes off on an almost hysterical and black-metal like note, encompassing how truly out-of-this-world HORSE LATITUDES are.

Image

MOUNTAIN WITCH - COLD RIVER
Doom/stoner rock from Germany. Trading in the cosmos for the kingdom with 'Cold River', Mountain Witch are out for the crown. and its only a matter of time before they take the empire.

Image

TONER LOW - III (2LP)
After four years Dutch psychedelic doom stoners TONER LOW are back with the follow-up of their highly acclaimed second effort. Being the lowest frequency producers of the Netherlands TONER LOW astonished listeners with their first two albums and undoubtedly will do the same with III, as their third album is titled. However, this time the band presents a more diverse sound than ever before in their fifteen years existence. On III TONER LOW are both faster and slower as well as rawer and more subtle, whilst making sure that the deepest sub-low frequencies are omnipresent throughout the entire album. A wide range of psychedelic sounds completes this four songs in 55 minutes ride through a musical wasteland filled with drugged out themes and doped up riffing. With one difference: this time even the cover artwork might get you high! Laying down the law once more with low-endness and undertones TONER LOW reach another high in heaviness on III, both musically and physically. Tracklisting: 1. Six (VI) 2. Seven (VII) 3. Eight (VIII) 4. Nine (IX).

EXPECTED - 2013.44

SQURL - EP#2 (PD)
PICTURE DISC with download. The second release in a series of three from JIM JARMUSCH, CARTER LOGAN and SHANE STONEBACK. This music is slow, psychedelic and atmospheric, using elements as diverse as the doom-laden instrumentalist drone of Sunn O))) and Wooden Shjips, the classic Americana rock of Neil Young's Crazy Horse, or a hazy, distorted '50s country twang recalling night time Memphis.

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & SPACE PARANOID - BLACK MAGIC SATORI
Two songs inspired by Black Sabbath and one Black Sabbath-cover. Includes download!

Image

GOAT - LIVE BALLROOM RITUAL (2LP)
In August 2012 Goat released their debut album, 'World Music'. The record went on to become one of the most talked about albums of the year, topping many Best of 2012 lists and the following year, the band took the album on the road. Footage, audio and photos of their sold out US shows streamed across the internet and revealed a band at the top of their powers. They had taken the magic of 'World Music', extended, psyched out and explored the groove of the album further representing it in a mesmerising live performance. Rocket Recordings realised that they needed to capture and document this much hyped set for all the world to experience. On July 27th 2013 they appeared at Camden's Electric Ballroom in London to celebrate the recent launch of their single 'Stonegoat'. The show was incendiary; the 1,100+ crowd either danced furiously to the band's psyched grooves or stood there, mouths open and gazed in awe at the spectacle they couldn't believe they were witnessing. It truly was a band on top of their game. Goat went on to wow more people across Europe when their on stage rituals visited the cream of the summer festivals at Primavera, Roskilde, Flow, Way Out West etc. After a long but successful summer the band are now back in Korpilombolo, writing the follow up to World Music. Tracks: 1/Diarabi 2/Golden Dawn 3/Disco Fever 4/Stonegoat 5/Let It Bleed 5/Dreambuilding 7/Run To Your Mama 8/Goathead 9/Goatman 10/Goatlord 11/Det Som Aldrig Förändras 12/The Sun The Moon.

BONG - MANA YOOD SUSHAI (COL)
Following last years masterpiece Beyond Ancient Space, Bong prove to be ever-prolific with their latest offering, a brand new album entitled, Mana-Yood-Sushai. Recorded, mixed and mastered in just two days in December 2011, this marks the first time Bong have entered a professional studio and recorded with an engineer. At the helm was Greg Chandler of Esoteric who had this to say about the experience: "It was really great to record an album live in the studio with BONG, whose heavy, droning, psychedelic improvisations unfolded like a lucid, transcendental journey. Great vibe to the session with these guys, and a real pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed the session, was cool to work with a band that can just get in and do their thing with a completely no nonsense approach!" That the music on this record is described by Greg as unfolding "like a lucid transcendental journey" is easy to imagine when you hear it. Dreams of Mana-Yood-Sushai" seems to pick up where Beyond Ancient Space ended, with ritualistic vocal passages atop their meditative jams. Trees, Grass and Stones evolves at an unhurried pace, first emerging with simple chimes and drones before locking into a most seductive groove. This is Bong as we have never heard them before, and they sound all the better for it! Artwork is an image of a splendid painting by Nicolas Roerich entitled Mount Of Five Treasures. 180g CLEAR BLUE vinyl, full colour printed vinyl labels, black paper inner sleeve, full colour premium 300gsm heavy card outer sleeve with 3mm spine, matt varnish.

Image

ELECTRIC WIZARD - ELECTRIC WIZARD
REPRESS. First album by 70's influenced rock band, inspired by BLACK SABBATH and BUDGIE. Stoner fans take note.

IRON MAN - SOUTH OF THE EARTH (2LP)
Rising out of the same Maryland/DC mean streets as fellow US doom pioneers Pentagram and The Obsessed, IRON MAN was formed in 1988 as a Black Sabbath tribute band by guitarist Alfred Morris III, whose musical career began in 1977 with mysterious proto-doom cult FORCE. Al's legendary, heavy, unearthly guitar tone was already much in evidence on FORCE's ultra-rare 1981 debut EP, and it has only deepened, hardened, improved and refined in the ensuing 32 years. Signed to the legendary underground doom label Hellhound Records, IRON MAN released its stellar 'Black Night' debut in 1993, followed by 'The Passage' in 1994, before line-up and label instability forced the band into a late 90s wilderness period. They re-emerged in 1999 with 'Generation Void', before another extended hiatus. This time it took a full ten years before Al reassembled the indestructible IRON MAN with yet another new line-up for the aptly-named return-to-form 'I Have Returned' on Shadow Kingdom. 'South Of The Earth' is, without question, Iron Man's strongest, heaviest release to date. The time has come for a wider audience to finally appreciate the grinding majesty of this true underground phenomena.

STONE TITAN - SCRATCH 'N' SNIFF
A hefty dose of fucked up sludge-ridden psych metal.

COLOUR HAZE - EWIGE BLUMENKRAFT (2LP)
Reissue of their much sought after first official groove full length. A subtle blend of all that was heavy in the seventies and a few more recent influences like early Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Natas and Sonic Youth. Ten thick fuzzy tracks, all of which remastered in analogue sound.

Image

DEVILLE - (MARBLED) COME HEAVY SLEEP
