Los Disidentes Del Sucio Motel - 2011 - Soundtrack from the Motion Picture
Highly Recommended French band. They're high on oldschool western movies, powerful stonerrock of the mid 90's era and good dose of the garage/grunge rock in some parts. And Remember : if you came to LDDSM concert and don't see a guy dressed as a sheriff on the stage - it's a false band !)))
I'm also looking forward to hear this split on LP
And don't miss 'em on the Desertfest 2012
LOS DISIDENTES DEL SUCIO MOTEL / FLASHFALCON "East Side Story " limited split vinyl LP
In my stoned opinion all of the bands from the Domino's wing are worth listening. Hope you'll find lots of interesting things there : http://dominomediaagency.wordpress.com/
Before I've started writing anything, I'd like to give you a warning. The CD which I will review here is highly addictive and if you're afraid of listening to the same CDs over and over again - you'd better stay away from this, and close your ears every time you hear 1000mods' riffs anywhere. For those of you who don't have such fears - I'll continue.
The debut LP record by the Greece stoner-rockers (or jam rockers, or just excellent rockers) 1000mods is called "Super Van Vacation", and that's the name behind one of the best records of 2011 in my opinion. Here's a couple of things you should know about this record:
- It was produced by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Acid King, Weedeater...the list is impressive)
- It's played in drop C guitar tuning - the best damn tuning, to create a massive, heavy wall of sound
- It's conventionally divided into 2 parts - straightforward rock and jam oriented songs (a little bit more than 65 minutes of speaker destruction)
A couple of words about the atmosphere of the record. Well, it might be just my opinion, but it feels to me mostly like a desert. Silent, burning, stormy, wild, merciless, slow, cold - these characteristics describe it's condition at different times, as well as the music of the band in different moments.
1000mods is a truck full amps and testosterone which is crossing this desert. And I am more than confident that they will cross it in spite of everything.
Speaking about the music itself. Musicians use the kind of approach I very much like myself - they take the traditional components of the genre and try to expand it - in their case compositionally and with help of two guitars (there are much more opportunities to express the different shades of music in such a way). The opening track "Road to Burn" starts with one of the most addictive riffs of 2011. This tune if full of bad-ass slow rock. The tempo doesn't seem to change throughout the song making you shake your head for almost 9 minutes. The next two tracks ("7 Flies", "El Rollito", "Set You Free") aren't slow at all. Time to remind that classic stoner-rock (think of Dozer, Atomic Bithcwax or Kyuss with a flavor of Alabama Thunderpussy). Above all I like the moment in El Rollito when solo-guitar's melody unites with singer's voice - awesome!
The following track "Vidage" sounds like an instant classic. Open's with sweet Kyuss-like melody and ends with a guitar duel-jam. As of the next opus - "Navy In Alice", the part which starts on 2:46 is the deal! Delay flavored guitar soloing is going to take you far away until the last note fades out. The rest of the album mostly refers to the part of the album which I called more jam oriented ("Track Me", "Abell", "Super Van Vacation"), except for the mid-tempo rocker "Johnys".
Resume: 5/5. Bravo! This is a record I'm proud owning, and this is an album which I will recommend among the top-5 stoner-rock albums of 2011. What I strongly advise you is to buy band's CDs, go to their shows, and support them in any way possible. They're working really hard to provide you with the best music they can offer, and they deserve to be heard. By the way, judging form YouTube videos their shows really slay so don't miss them playing!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Please Welcome : G.U. Medicine
Probably one of the best rockin' bands from the smokin' fat island called UK.
They like Jagermeister and Jager bites back!
Nobody can't say better than GUM's facebook page :
G.U. Medicine are a tight gang of hard drinkers who also play heavy rock music at high volume for fun.
Formed way back in 2003 amidst a common love of drinking and rock
music, G.U. recorded their 1st L.P in 2004 released through the
excellent Undergroove label. Imaginatively titled "G.U. Medicine", the
album received rave reviews in the music press both in the U.K and
elsewhere. Like-minded drinkers/rockers
were quick to jump on the (badly driven) bandwagon and The Medicine
recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show and Ian Camfield's XFM
show.
Veterans of the road G.U. have rocked up countless U.K
and European tours with the likes of The Wildhearts, Nick Oliveri and
his Mondo Generator, My Ruin, Open Hand, Viking Skull, Skid Row, Year
Long Disaster, The Almighty, Left Side Brain and probably some more that
they've forgotten about due to the beers. Picking up fans, broken-down
vans and hangovers along the way.
In 2006 the band released their 2nd long
player, "Saints of Excess" which was again hosted by the mighty
Undergroove label. Again critical acclaim followed and the band recorded
two videos to accompany "A Meeting With Foul Play" (Directed by Rod
Thomas) and "Saints of Excess" (Filmed on tour with The Wildhearts in
April/May '07). The 'Foul Play' Video won the New Blood competition on
the Scuzz music channel with an amazing 48% of the viewers vote.
The band's 3rd album, "Lords of
Oblivion" was recorded throughout last year with shit hot record
producer and gifted lover Jason Sanderson. Imagine an immense iron bar
travelling at just under the speed of light through a vast and
immeasurable slab of molten granite. Now imagine the sound that that
would make. You're getting close. It's due out sometime soon on the
ever-awesome Undergroove label.
"For this work, we locked
ourselves with SOLAR FLARE for 3 days in a humid basement (our
practice room actually) to write and record a collaborative
track sounding as heavy as it could be with 2 basses, 3 guitars
and supported by drums and vocals from the Mordor. All
has been mastered again by Raph Bovey who produced HLGBLS, and we might be even
close to make an Uruk-hai cry for mercy.
As concept and guideline,
we found inspiration in the poem “La Ronde sous la Cloche”,
taken from the book “Gaspard de la Nuit” and written by the
french poet Aloysius Bertrand… although the legend says that
this book was probably written by the devil himself. His text drags you into a
world between nightmare, hallucination and darkness which we tried to reproduce
musicaly."
"Greetings, my name is Viktor Wilt and I am writing to you today in regard to the Idaho-based band The Reptilians. The band is currently in the studio tracking the music for two new full-length releases. Based on the type of bands you feature on your website I think the band's most recent album, The Mentalist, may be of enjoyment to your staff. The album can be downloaded free of charge at the following page on the band's official website. The audio is available in 320kb mp3 or FLAC format. The .zip file includes a band bio, selected press and a 37 page .pdf booklet of artwork for the album."
"If you believe in Karma then you have to believe that Violence is something
innate in every human or inhuman being. Karma in the old and now Indian
religions is the concept of "action" understood which creates the entire cycle
of cause and effect. Violence from the other hand is inside in each one of us,
some people can control and others cannot, but in every occasion it is a part of
human nature. Living in the modern world, all of us can see violence in our
eyes, in the streets and everywhere. The combination of Karma Violens describes
the action of Violence, because every action in these brutal days creates a
violent respond.
Karma Violens created their first lines in music in
September 2002. The music is an amalgam of Extreme Metal (death, thrash, black),
combined with Hardcore music lines and idiosyncrasy. The music of Karma Violens
is not categorized and avoids every music label except the word "Metal" and
that's the way the band wants to keep it."
Mixed and mastered at Lambesis studios in California, USA "owned by Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying)" by Daniel Castleman (As I Lay Dying, Zao, Winds of Plague, Sworn Enemy). Recorded at the Devasoundz studios engineered and produced by Fotis Benardo (Septic Flesh) and Karma Violens.
Burn Everything - 2011 - Last Run Through The Ruins EP
And this is really good shit from Rochester, NY(USA). Kick ass apple core (can I say so ?)))
All the Dillinger Escape Plan, Coalesce, Burnt By the Sun fans should immediately take up each other's arms and start running a violent-kicking roundelay. Recommended as hug!
Hey guys ! Did you tried to knock into Relapse doors ?
The Moss from Portland, Oregon is changing its name. We have run into too much crossover with other bands using the Moss name, most notably the sludge doom Moss from UK. It’s been an arduous process, but we have chosen Fellwoods as the new name. We will phase out ‘The Moss’ slowly, with plenty of notice to all concerned parties. Thanks everyone for your support, and we look forward to the future with a new moniker. Look for news about CD and Vinyl releases of our Wulfram album, as well as a whole new batch of songs awaiting recording. Thanks, Fellwoods (formerly, The Moss)
Cosmonauts Day - 2011 - Paths of the Restless
Great band with a cool conceptual album from Moscow, Russia. It's a one breath journey divided into 8 volumes. I can compare 'em with Pelican, Isis by the atmosphere. Fabulous work done!
Support the band. Buy a CD!
"From the depths of Russian underground scene comes absolutely epic spaced out
sludge outfit Cosmonauts Day! Intense guitar ... moreriffing, crushing to the ground and below drum stabbing, wicked bass,
dreamy solos and an atmoshere of a cold space - their music is a mind journey to
the places you've never known."
It's so uncommon to hear good bands from so far. Please welcome - Akuma from Mexico. You will catch lots of styles and genres in their works. Can't explain it in a few words. Akuma sounds interesting for me anyway )))
June Deville (Fra) - 2011 - The Swan Song of the Coyote
Sweets from Swizz!!! Delivering loud Garage/Stoner to remove your heavy add far from the monitor and remember the 90's Helmet days, when lots of stuff were on tapes!
Hope to write bigger review when i got a CD togather with freeze-the-time machine.
"Aspen is the brand new project from the old Cosmic Vishnu heavy duo, exploring now that heavy rock, beefy, chunky, two-ton heavyness sound, with the addition of a third member on bass guitar. Aspen its about to release thei first EP, entitled "Winds of Revenge" through the label Lovers and Lollypops in November this year. "
"The waiting has an end! One and a half years after Space Trip On A
Paper Plane, Austrian Stoner-/Psych-Rock band Sahara Surfers released their
second long player Sonar Pilot on Sound Zero Records."
One wonderful evening with three good bands...it was just epic.
thanx to all bands, especially Mars Red Sky for being brave enough coming to Ukraine for 3 shows and bringing 16 tons of fuzzzzzz!
(Special thax goes to T.Rexa (Robusteam photographer) for bringin' MRS straight to the place, Igor "Prog-Jester" (Stoned Jesus) for good excursion for french fellows for the next day, Stonezilla (Ethereal Riffian, Wolverine Blues) for help with organizing this gig and for simple friendly support)
22.11.2011 - Mars Red Sky / Snakerider @ "Lab Garage" (or "Lab Combinat"), Kiev, UA
MRS decided to make another show for the next day just to play longer & louder .
There was pretty lovely and friendly atmosphere in a hangar with the cool backyard/wood-burning stove/smoke machine...
thanx to both bands. You've warmed us with your music... 23.11.2011 - Mars Red Sky / Somali Yacht Club / Фейерверки Ранят Небо @ "Vezha", Kalush, UA
I was told this was a good show with a good support. Thanx to Barma for organizing this gig.
