On a morning that has all the characteristics of the impending apocalypse, as gun metal grey clouds disgorge their pregnant bellies of water onto the unsuspecting populous of the United Kingdom as gales flail, wind lashes sodden garden fences like… Continue Reading →
I don’t know much about Fresno, truth be told. I do know that Donny from The Big Lebowski used to surf the shores of Fresno, but that’s not immediately useful in the context of telling you about this album from… Continue Reading →
With its eye catching photo cover of Brenda Lee Spencer, arrested after a particularly bad Monday in 1979 which saw her culling classmates at a high-school shooting, Formalist set us up for a particularly harrowing debut album ‘No One Will… Continue Reading →
The underground metal scene has a lot of “faces”. You know – names that hold a status that elevates them above their peers. Often these are bands that the mainstream rock-world scarcely notice – maybe see the logo on a tour poster as… Continue Reading →

Transcending Obscurity records is the home for German Sludge/Doom duo Eremit’s debut, Carrier of Weight. Damn is there some weight held within. 68 mins of metal spread haphazardly over just three tracks. This is not doom for the light hearted or… Continue Reading →
