Nero Order - 2010 - The Tower

San Francisco avant-metal alchemists Nero Order fuse elephantine rhythms with expansive, tragic melodies and moody, severe vocals - effectively concocting a sound that is simultaneously abrasive and consonant, dynamic and cacophonous; academic in scope and violent in delivery. The Tower are stylistically without par in the current rock landscape - though the gravity of mid-late period Neurosis, the frenetic energy of Junkyard-era Birthday Party, the minor melodic sense of Metallica’s Master of Puppets, the staggering volume and intensity of early Swans, the grandiosity of Pink Floyd’s Meddle, and the riff-obsession of Black Sabbath are all summoned therein.

Lesbian Rainbows

Portugese stoner/ post metal duo Lesbian Rainbows has recently filmed a jam trip.

The Holy River is the name of a 4 track jam trip performed and recorded in an old abandoned house lost in the middle of the forest, riverside. The first two videos are now available and the other ones will be unleashed very soon. The name of the session is an invocation of the purity and mysticism of this place along with a revisitation (both aesthetic and conceptual) to Alejandro Jodorowsky's filmography (The Holy Mountain).

Andre (Drummer) is also the musician behind the Valse Sinistre Records’ (aura).

The Bliss (Greece) - 2011 - GABBATHA

Interesting Progressive music and Video.

"We are "THE BLISS".A music trio from Piraeus Greece.We were formed in 2000 and we create music together ever since.About one year after we got together,we recorded our first demo,"BODYCODE" (2001)and after one more year our second demo recording,"ASSEMBLE"(2003).Our past influences stemmed from the early scene of Seattle,back in the 90's.Through the years,our inspiration started to become more complicated and our influences derived from various sounds and patterns that you find in greek traditional and other kinds of progressive rock bands.During that time we participated in two compilation cd's (IN THE JUNKYARD vol 2.,IN THE JUNKYARD vol 3.)released by Spinalonga records which is a non profit label organized by the bands,in Athens.All these years we've been performing all around our country,in small and big festivals,and sharing the stage with small and even bigger bands such as NIGHTSTALKER,EARTHBOUND,ECHO TATTOO,PLANET OF ZEUS,LUCKY FUNERAL,DEUS EX MACHINA and many more.Also we were the openning act for FAITH NO MORE reunion in Athens,in 2009.Meanwhile,we were experimenting and recording new material for our debut album "GABBATHA".In the mean time we are really interested in finding ways to promote our music by touring around the world and also seeking for an interesting deal with a record label."

THE BUFFALOS (Fra) - 2011 - THE BUFFALOS

I'm really pleased by this EP. If you're into mid-Clutch era, Suicidal Tendencies, try it!

"Entrancing like an opium vertigo, hard and dark like ebony but velvet
like a geisha's silken panties, THE BUFFALOS illegally distill music for
doomed pirates, and freedom addicted basterdz.

After years of roving around the world from Thailand's old opium dens
through the heated bordellos of East Africa to the desperate yet divine
landscape of Antarctica, The Duke, El Bavo, and The Breton decided to
transcribe into music what it is like to live like a pirate (according to
their own convenient definition).

This is how the infamous adventure of THE BUFFALOS started in 2008…

The infernal crew defended its first EP (In Hell We Dwell - 2009) on more
than fifty gigs, opening for legendary bands such as SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
They are standing by to board and scar the world again with their new five
track canon ball: The Mahogany Secrecy.

Behold your outrageous kings, thou ravenous whores and thieves ! Hide your
virgins and be ready to rock for THE BUFFALOS are in town to burn it all
down !"

Brachiosauride - 2011 - Excavations

"Influenced by 50s Blues, 60s Psych, 70s Prog, 80s Doom, Thrash and Hardcore Punk, 90s Sludge, Noise, Stoner, Mathcore and Experimental acts, we play a fusion brand of Progressive Sludge that gives the listener a unique experience; with creating a sonic texture of each song's concept, both musically and vocally. This is our first release, a concept album called Excavations (read the whole conceptual storyline here) including 10 songs that run over 37 minutes of mega mind blowing riffage, we would like to offer this record freely thru the internet and as your blog has always been a great place for all the obscure underground acts in the past years we'd be grateful if you host it there"

They Yearn For What They Fear (US) - 2011 - Demo

BIO:

"Around since 2005ish, They Yearn For What They Fear started as a wall-of-noise grind unit, and while they can definitely still tap into all the rage of speed, they've become incredibly dynamic in their sound and tone while never sacrificing heaviness or their own brand of apocalyptic psychedelia. They are hard at work crafting a sonic tome worthy of their name, as well as split releases of all varieties (and hopefully a re-release of their lone testament to their ultra-violent roots, The Art of Communication via Concentric in the near future) "
