Superlynx – Solstice (Dark Essence)

Covid –19 caused a lot of frustration for musicians. Stuck in lock down, unable to tour to promote recent releases idle hands were often put to the devil’s work. For Oslo’s Superlynx, having recorded Electric Temple their third full length in Summer 2020 they had some… Continue Reading →

Clouds Taste Satanic – Cloud Covered (S/R)

If for whatever bizarre reason you’ve read my inane ramblings over the last few years, you will know that Clouds Taste Satanic is a band I massively admire.  Their instrumental doom music is of a scope that is positively cinematic,… Continue Reading →

Hint – Rarities of Two Centuries (Atypeek Music)

Well this is a little strange. I have never heard of Hint, yet here I am reviewing a compilation of their rare and unreleased tracks that appears to span their career from 1993 to present (hence the title).  This is not Hint… Continue Reading →

Benighted In Sodom – Carrier Of Poison Apples (I, Voidhanger)

Matron Thorn is one of those musicians who work constantly revolving through various projects. The amount of bands past and present he has been involved in is really quite staggering. From Bethlehem to Ævangelist, Death Fetishist, Devil Worshipper, Oblivion Gate,… Continue Reading →

Spacetrucker – Smooth Orbit – 2nd Pass (S/R)

Go on, just from the name guess what kind of music Spacetrucker play? Actually yes, but this St Louis trio have a little more under their cosmic hood than meets the eye. This is I believe their second self released… Continue Reading →

Transylvania Stud – The Red Queen (Transcending Records)

Whether a stud or not Andrew Godfrey calls Virginia home and not Transylvania but luckily this EP has something worthy of sinking its teeth into. Looking at his adopted moniker here you may well expect some sort of Finnish glam,… Continue Reading →

Black Mirrors – Funky Queen (Napalm)

Debut four track EP from Belgian rockers Black Mirrors with a title that for me promises lots and threatens about the same; the kind of title that suggests female singer, low-slung guitar swagger in a doomy style and if you’re… Continue Reading →

Queen Elephantine – Kala (Transcending Obscurity)

With a production value as rough as a hangover, Queen Elephantine cast a little one-take stardust over their music. It’s lo-fi and dissolute. Hearing them recorded can’t be far away from the aural experience of seeing them live. Feedback and… Continue Reading →

30,000 Monkies – I Ate Myself To Grow Twice As Big (Consouling Sounds)

Belgian noisemakers, 30,000 Monkies are an interesting bunch. “I Ate Myself To Grow Twice As Big” is the band’s first full length outing following on from two EP’s. This is a curious mix of punkish attitude, doom and stoner riffs… Continue Reading →

Pander – Fierce Self (Metalization)

Formed in 2011, Pander are a four piece Dutch group who have mastered the art of delivering gut-busting stoner metal fuelled riffery. “Fierce Self” reflects a band who appear to be on a single-minded mission to rumble mercilessly through your… Continue Reading →

Breath After Coma – S/T (S/R)

Formed in Athens in 2013, Greek four piece Breath After Coma have just released their self-titled debut 6 track EP. With a sound heavily influenced by the famous Seattle Grunge scene which dominated rock music in the early 90’s along… Continue Reading →

The Atomic Bitchwax – Gravitron (Tee Pee)

When two thirds of the band are recording and touring with another band it is quite a feat to write and record an album as damn good and rockin’ as Gravitron. When that other band is Monster Magnet who famously… Continue Reading →
