the Dead C - Whitehouse And indeed, there it is on the cover. There's not much in the way of commentary or anything about that, though, so either call it a wry Kiwi joke at the Yanks' expense or just something that looked nice enough to use. Consisting of six tracks of unsurprisingly varying length -- fairly short or totally long -- in ways The White House is Dead C as per usual and in others a bit of a diversion from the usual form. Notably, there's evidence of relatively more production -- while it's hardly hard-disk billion-track digital sound or the like, there's effect pedals galore and senses of very careful arrangement as opposed to simply upping the shadowy, crumbling sound factor. Further keyboards and other strange noises from who knows where also slip into things. The off-kilt

Dave Krejci - Cleophonethanks to Hifimono David Krejci always had a childlike fascination with sound and the realm of possibilities that comes from running your fingers across bare piano strings, taping down organ pedals or running a vacuum — not for cleaning the carpet, but for tonal effect. After putzing around with his collection of myriad organs, guitars and instrument pieces, Krejci conceived, built and unfettered what became known as the Cleophone (named after daughter Cleo, who describes the instrument as producing “Scooby Doo sounds”). Since its inception, Krejci and his Cleophone have been appearing at various venues across the Minneapolis scene for the last year, and the arrival of the debut album is what prompted us to get in touch with Krejci and learn more.

Peter Wright - At last a new DawnCD1 At last a new DawnCD2 At last a new Dawn "At Last a New Dawn" is a double disc set of truly epic proportions. It constitutesthe first new recordings by Peter Wright released to CD since 2004's "YellowHorizon," and is, without a doubt, a radiant high point, perhaps even thepinnacle, of his distinguished and exceptional discography. All of the familiarand wonderous Wright touchstones are present here in pristine form: a wealthof gorgeous, ghostly guitar drones and swells, and impeccably employedfield recordings from manifold fascinating sources. Also worth noting is theemergence of some slightly harsher sounds found here, a divergence from thetraditionally pastoral nature of much of Wright's catalog. This is reflective ofPeter's current live setup, which employs increased overdrive and distortion.The album's title is, Peter asserts, a 'vauge reference to undying optimism in theface of gloom.' Many of the track titles too reflect a

Knives Ov Resistance - Prisca Sapientia Like the band Various Production, Knives Ov Resistance eschews the cardigan and commune imagery of folk revivalists in favour of a darker more contemporary take. Despite incorporating elements of hip hop turntablism, Knives’ noir/folk contains no beats whatsoever - just pastoral swells, buzzing stringed bliss, layered samples (from birdsong and choirs through to blankets of the indistinguishable) and electronic fuckery... Amongst their members are Spykidelic - who combined guitar textures and hip hop breaks in his late 90's Lo Recordings project Echo Park - and Demian Castellanos; responsible for the excellent Orichalc Phase and Mesma EPs on DC and Static Caravan respectively. A stunning piece of folk-concrete, or as dance mag 'One Week To Live' stated "the sound of hip hop envisaged by druids and played by Popul Vuh."

Machines of Loving Grace Machines of Loving Grace are an industrial/post-punk band from Tucson, Arizona. They formed in 1989 as Machines of Loving Grace (named for a Richard Brautigan poem). The original lineup consisted of Scott Benzel (vocals), Stuart Kupers (guitar and bass), and Mike Fisher (keyboards), with Brad Kemp (drums) added shortly thereafter. They recorded a demo and were picked up by Carrboro, North Carolina-based Mammoth Records in 1991. The band was unable to rerecord their material for their eponymous debut album, as the label released their demo as it was recorded. Two years later, the band released Concentration. It continued their signature sound, but was more refined in the combination of beat- and bass-heavy riffs, with hard edged guitar. With the release of two videos, the band was able to get national-level MTV airplay, and join in the industrial rock wave that was ushered in by Nine Inch Nails. 1994 saw a new song by the band, "Golgotha Tenement Blues" fea

PORN (the men of)Porn is Billy Anderson, Dale Crover, Tim MossMyspaceWebsite Porn (the men of) - Wine, Women and Song When I put on Wine, Women and Song I wasn't immediately taken with the guitar sound as much as I was with the absolutely bombastic and spectacular playing of one Mr. Dale Crover. Ever driven onward with the urgent and studiously heavy guitar work of the King of Buzzo in the Melvins, Dale just doesn't get to lay back and play with that ever important nano-second behind the beat like he does with Porn. That nano second is the key to the laid back groove, which is sprawled out and sunning itself like a laboriously fat kitty cat all over this record. I'm digging the superbly fuzzy bass tone, punctuated with the neatly beefy and big muffed mid-range of Tim Moss' guitar. Then the vocals come in, and it sounds like Elmer Fudd swallowed the microphone. I'm pretty absorbed in the bizarre mud and bass pummel rush of the band... I couldn't help but hit the repeat button and

Chet W. Scott is a composer, private sound engineer and producer of his own original woodland inspired, shamanic drone & soundscape composition since the early part of 1993. Born the year of 1974, in West Palm Beach Florida & raised from the age of four in the cold North of MAINE. Chet started his solo career under the moniker of "TORN OF THIS". Chet's early compositions with this initial vision, fused unique and beautiful blends of melancholic dark folk, into his own instrumental electric & acoustic bass guitar pieces. Unfortunetly the works of "TORN OF THIS" were never published. However now more than ever, the undying spirit, original style and heartfelt passion of "TORN OF THIS", still germinates & inspires throughout Chet's audible paintings... known today as RUHR HUNTER.

AsbestosDeath - Dejection/Unclean This is the cult and long-sought material by Asbestosdeath, representing the earliest emanations of the mighty Sleep. This 4-song release compiles the band's two 7 inches ('Unclean' and 'Dejection'), which are the only songs they recorded before changing their name to Sleep. 01. Nail02. Scourge03. Anguish04. The SufferingAsbestosDeath - Live1990 MyspaceBuy it Among the latest from Southern Lord is this killer collection from Asbestosdeath - whose members went on to form Sleep and High on Fire, among others, of course. Despite containing but a mere four tracks in just under 20 minutes, this is actually a complete discography from the band - remastered from the original vinyl releases - who only released two 7"s before morphing into Sleep. The first 7", "Unclean", was self-released by the band (in 1989, I assume), while "Dejection" was originally released by Profane Existence in 1990. And call me crazy, but to some degree I

Eyes Adrift - Eyes Adrift Eyes Adrift was a rock supergroup consisting of Curt Kirkwood (vocals and guitar, formerly of the Meat Puppets), Krist Novoselic (vocals and bass, formerly of Nirvana) and Bud Gaugh (drums, formerly of Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars). They released a self-titled album (see below) in 2002, which was a mixture of punk, grunge, and country, taking all of their previous backgrounds and putting them together. They later broke up in 2003, after their debut album flopped.Eyes Adrift, the band's only album, was released on September 24, 2002. "Alaska" was the album's only single, released on March 3, 2003 in the UK.

MONUMENT OF URNS - Cruelty (Hand Hewn Timbre) 3" cd-r 4.98 THE RETURN OF THE URNS!! THE THIRD URNS!! We've been waiting patiently, almost a year now, for the next installment in Monument Of Urns' creeping crawling, and slowly coalescing masterpiece. A timeless epic, so massive, it can only be presented 20 minutes at a time. Each chapter a massive single track, each a piece of some unimaginable grand design. Each immaculately designed and presented. Each somehow impossibly heavier than the last. First there was The Ancient Method. Then there was The Destroyer Of All. And now, there is Cruelty. Another all too brief missive from the mysterious dark lord who guards the Monument Of Urns. Cruelty is another soul smiting slab of ultra sludge, a plodding doom metal behemoth, trudging endlessly forward, knee deep in murk and mire, wreathed in clouds of black buzz, a monstrously monolithic dirge, laying waste to any and all who kneel before it. In addition to the demonic growls, there

THRONESThrones began in 1994 with an untitled cassette on the Punk in My Vitamins? label. They soon released the "Reddleman" single. In 1996, Thrones signed to Communion Records to issue the full-length album Alraune. Thrones then signed to Kill Rock Stars and released the single "The Suckling." In late 1997, Preston began a recording project under the working title "White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit". The project was eventually released as two 12 inch EPs; White Rabbit in 1999, followed by Sperm Whale in 2000. Both EPs were compiled in the Sperm Whale CD. In 2005, a compilation of various Thrones material spanning from 1994 to 2001 was released by Southern Lord Records under the title Day Late, Dollar Short. After an extended hiatus beginning in 2001, Thrones began regularly performing live again in May of 2006, although there were sporadic live appearances during this period supporting bands such as Sunn O))). Preston has also performed as part of Sunn O))) using Moog synth

KTL - 2Myspace Like its predecessor, 2 is based on elements that Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O)))) and Peter Rehberg (Pita) created as a score to the Kindertotenlieder theater piece by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, but stands on its own as a coherent work. O'Malley and Rehberg have created another installment of genre crossing experimentation that definitely meets the requirement of "dark." The material shows its pedigree well, with neither artist dominating the other sound-wise: O'Malley's slow motion riffing is augmented nicely with Rehberg's laptop electronics. Opener "Game" and ending piece "Snow 2" bookend the work well, the former being a heavy low-end drone that begins near inaudible and builds greatly in volume and dynamics by the end, while the latter sounds like extremely lo-fi guitar parts recorded deep within a dungeon, mingling with the electronics that end up closing the disc with a film score flair. The sprawling middle tracks differ more widely from each other. "Th

MOSS Moss - Cthonic RitesDownloadMyspace MOSS return with their debut full length, 'Cthonic Rites'. A mighty slab of extreme Doom from beyond, a paean to the Elder Gods.Managing to pack two entire tracks into the 66 minutes, MOSS redefine torturous with a larger, more cosmically heavy sound with Jus Oborn (of Doom masters ELECTRIC WIZARD) taking production duties. Though each track retains the monolithic simplicity of a Martian pyramid, the production somehow increases the scope of the trademark MOSS wall of distortion and despair. Who dares to dream what dark Old Ones may be summoned from beyond the realms of time and death by these primitive, obscene dirges?MOSS was formed in Southampton in mid-2001 by three sick individuals, wishing to propagate their dementia and macabre visions via the medium of discordant, torturous extreme Doom metal.Bound by hatred, disgust and despair, MOSS create the heaviest and most tormenting extreme doom in existence.

James PlotkinAlan Dubin/ Jimmy Plotkin - 2x 7" DownloadJames Plotkin - the Joy of DiseaseDownloadAlong with contemporaries like Justin Broadrick and Mick Harris, James Plotkin first rose to prominence in the early-'90s grindcore scene associated with Earache Records before venturing into more ambitious ambient dub territory. Plotkin's recording career began with the strange grindcore band Old (Old Lady Drivers), strange because Old seemed to be mocking the very movement it championed. The band's debut album, Old Lady Drivers (1988), was one of the first releases by the British Earache label; however, it was the band's follow-up, Lo Flux Tube (1992), that would garner substantial acclaim from the underground grindcore scene. Despite the acclaim, Old never attained the popularity of fellow Earache bands like Napalm Death, Carcass, or Entombed, mostly because of its somewhat avant-garde, somewhat parodic approach.By the mid-'90s, Plotkin had moved on, playing guitar and guitar-synth

MOHO WebsiteMyspace With tours through France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Hungary, England, Italy, (and in their homeland of Spain) few bands have played as intensively as this heavy three piece has in their three years together. Their first full length “20 Uñas” released in USA by Shifty Records and in Europe by Throne Records gathered fantastic reviews linking them to heavy hitters (both in sound and attitude) such as Electric Wizard, Bonzgilla, Black Sabbath, and High On Fire. Having spent their time in bands like Denak, Looking For An Answer, Like Peter At Home, and Matarife (just to mention a few) the band developed a raw, crude, and no frills sound. This album is a testament to what they’ve achieved with their sound. Recorded in only five hours in a rigorous live-in-the-studio fashion, the result is a brutal punch in the face driven with beautiful simplicity and taken to a level that will prove painful to the weak eared listener.”He visto la cruz al r

92 votes (31%) Doom/Drone/Stoner Thanks for vote to everyone! AARNI Aarni - BathosDoom/Avantgarde/Freak/Finland Folk/Doom DownloadMirrorWebsiteAARNI are a crazy Doom band from Finland and they sound quite original. But also very exhausting for the typical Metalhead. Is that still Metal or Art Rock already? No idea – the fact is that AARNI create a very special atmosphere which seems pretty stoned eh dreamy. Complex soundscapes appear before your inner eye, which leave room for a self-interpretation. All in all a very appealing album, even though confusing at first. I haven’t heard anything comparable before. A relaxed sound which contains progressive, doomy as well as very dreamy passages and which either captivates you or doesn’t move you at all. I think there is no in between. Hurz! Firedoom, subsello de Firebox dedicado puramente a lo más lento y oscuro de su catálogo, nos ofrece el segundo álbum oficial de estos finlandeses, después de un split CD, que son más raros
