My personal heavy recoomendation. French Sludge/Doom bastards from Oruga band became stronger and now sound more exclusive and original. Nice EP. I hope to hear more in the nearest future. Here you can find their first demohttp://www.myspace.com/oruga666
Oruga (Fra) - 2011 - Oruga
Hallelujah. This is pretty original one concept. Good stuff for relax.The band are called The Clauberg Opera and their second album - Church.
Genres: Drone, Amibent, Soulful, Gospel, Electronica, Avant-garde.
Interesting stuff: Parts of the album were recorded in several
different churches found in North Yorkshire, England. This has given
the record a unique spiritual vibe. The cover - St. Ethelburga's
Church - is one of those churches.
The album also includes unique sounds created by Throbbing Gristle's
GRISTLEISM machine (TG are cited as a major influence).

Yes they're from Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, this is the same Toad that goes on the B side with Drone Throne LP.Nowadays they became less noisy, more metal oriented. Good try. but i will miss their early material - pure piece of dirt. Listen. Support. Eat the riffs!
TOAD is a 6 piece band from Phoenix, Arizona that has crafted a sound of their own that cannot easily be classified. The album I am sending you is entitled "Rotten Tide" and was tracked live to analog tape. For this album, TOAD teamed up with recording engineer/producer Bob Hoag (Hour of the Wolf, Recover, the Bled, Life in Pictures etc.). All vintage gear from the 60's and 70's was used to get a true rock sound. The serious snarl of the vocals are accompanied with horrifyingly distorted organ scattered throughout, which provides a new unique sound that TOAD has coined as their own. TOAD has played with well known national acts such as Coliseum, Deafheaven, the Funeral Pyre, Burning Love, Early Graves, Hour of the Wolf, Across Tundras, and Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, to name a few.

Like a Titan with a Mini-Gun.........
Axe in your head, bullets in your chest, sword in your guts and heavy riffage in your ears. Horizon darkens and battlefield paints the sky in red. The army of Tank 86 has arrived. Finally the instrumental super-heavy act from Netherlands has released it's debut album called "Rise". They have released 2 EPs earlier, and I was really looking forward to their full-length album. And here it is - tearing my appartment's walls down.
Captain Obvious hints that CD's title means that you really have to rise! No really - look at the art cover. That face isn't satisfied, nor is it happy. Visual presentation together with the sound, which is tearing my speakers at the moment, gives me the impression, that times are dark, hope has faded away long ago, and the only thing left for us - is to take that old rusty axe (or shotgun, whatever excites you most), and start making good things happen. Well that's a way to go! Avoiding any musical comparison I should say that this CD sounds to me like a brutal, hopeless war. Some fight for freedom, some just fight because they have to, some fight for taste of blood in their mouths.
In a musical sense the music can be distantly compared to Кarma to Burn on steroids. Another closer comparison which comes to my mind is a sonic mixture of High On Fire's fury and Balero's instrumental rage. If they needed a vocalist - the only man who could fit in this instrumental outrage could be Matt Pike (imagine...that would be epic). But Tank86 isn't a band you can compare someone to. Their in-your-face/kick-your-ass riffs are mostly, mixed with some great harmonies, which tend to cross the line of an average song in terms of compositional approach & song-writing.
It's hard to pick and describe some exact track, because they sound all sound like one merciless battle-hymn. But I can tell you that you will hear progressive metal parts & groovy/stoner riffage (Apparat), berserkers rage (Gottes Krieger), and even a soundtrack to an axe (Axe)!
The only bad thing about the album is that it's so volumetric (tracks are really epic) that after four listens I can recollect only one riff (from the Apparat song). Well maybe it means that I have to make it to 20 listens and try it again!
Overall Tank86's first full-length "Rise" is huge. It's powerful. Reminds me of a titan wearing a "fuck you" t-shirt. A titan with a mini-gun and a rusty axe behind his back. You're either on his side, or...you'd better be on his side.

Motor Throne Path from Slovenia
You can't get better description fore this that bandcamp says :"Dwelling among the debris of the whore capital of Western Slovenia, Hellcrawler are a bunch of cynical wasteland denizens who found unsavory panacea in the symbiosis of punk violence, stoner rock atmosphere and heavy riffage. Their soundtrack to the demise of humankind is a motorized assault of old school death metal and d-beat which reflects their major source of inspiration, the decaying aesthetic of post apocalyptic and spaghetti western cinematography. Beginning in 2010, the outfit saw their first release, Wastelands, in 2011 on Hollow Earth Records. "

Heavy as a Mammoth...
What I handle in my hands right now is a big heavy neanderthal stone. This CD bring s us to the ancient times. Nobody's speaking but nature. Imagine the day when dinosaurs ruled this weak planet. That was a havy, but full of freedom time. Just like the Grandloom's debut album sounds. And the "Sunburst" spreading the light of good played psychedelic heavy jams. This band goes in top 5 instrumental stoner/jam bands for sure (you know them all well).Support the band. Buy this wonderful CD-digi. Or cath the Vinyl which is much besser ))
these words are carved in stone :
"Grandlooms `Sunburst` is the debut album by this young instrumental Stoner Rock band from Germany.
Grandloom is a three-peace heavy jamrock band from Cottbus Germany. Grandloom founded new with the current lineup in early 2007
The sound of Grandloom is mix from stoner, psychedelic, space, blues and seventies rock.
Grandloom share the stage with a lot of famous bands for example Brant Bjork, Karma To Burn, Orange Goblin, Truckfighters and Graveyard."
Tanx to David for CD.

Meadows
Old sweet grindcore tunes. I'm into this. Raw punkish sound (think mid. Napalm Death/Terrorizer) slightly goes into some slow/atmospheric parts. And then back to deliver great sludge/metalcore minces in Converge vein.Thanx to Charlie from the band for keeping my ears opened for this.

Heey you little dirtlovers. We're having some really nasty shit outta here.This is The Lion's Daughter/Fister 12" Split "And Their Masters Bled For Days"
Released by Hands Up Recordings
nonstandart list of tracks on each side.
F. - diong the whole things just right. No questions. No comments. Doom Anthems.
T.L.D. - pretty new stuff for my ears. Good sounding metallic hybrid. It covers best parts of Sludge/Meta/Black. they're also having a nice tape.
Cooler than ever piece of plastic is already released. And it's also free for download.
The Black wax sounds better. But glow in the dark shit looks awesome !!!
Choose Your Destiny and bring it to the speakers!
The record is limited to 300 hand numbered copies. 100 of them are on glow in the dark vinyl. Surprisingly, we sold out of all of our glow in the dark copies the night of the release. We may or may not get a couple more copies from the label. We aren't really sure. If people go to pissfork.net they can buy a copy of the record (black) for $10.00 plus $5.00 S&H.

Trash, Madam, Trash
Softly heavy, heavily soft, fuzzy, bluesy and honestly catchy...Great pleasent album from Brooklyn's trio. They're having a lot of garage, stoner and simply rock influences. I don't know why but I'm thinking of soem Helmet, early Soundgarden, Brain Police, Sedue Brothers, The Soulshake Express...choose your dozen of bands and write it in comments.Please, support this young and perspective band.
We’re called Madam Trashy, a 3-piece prog/grunge/metal band from Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY.
The record, “Book of Dead” was mixed by Jack Endino (Nirvana, High on Fire, Soundgarden)
Sincerely,
Brian
