HEY COLOSSUS 'Dominant Male' LP

Okay. If you're not the lucky one with the tape that was limited to 50 copies and sold out in 24 hours.
So this is your chance to become a cool looking guy if buying this LP.




don't even try to watch this shitty video

Hail to all the Robust-music lovers...

Hey Hey Hey, Doomanoids!


The Robustfest vol.1 ended almost 2 and a half weeks ago, but I still have a wonderful feeling about all things that we have done.

Huge thanks goes to all the bands that have played during that beautiful day, all stoned ladies, doom-heads, hardcore kids, security-bikers, veganburger makers, tickets & tokens selling girls, drunk barmens...whoever you are and whatever you wanna be called - We Salute You !

It was a fabulous experience for everybody from the Robust Crew. And I hope that most of guests were pleased too.

I'll try to make a small review about the Robustfest action :

More than 150 people have bought the tickets, so it's not actually bad for the first time, erh ?)
And if you add 70 people from bands & robust crew - there will be a good number !
The fest started with the delay in just 20 minutes. In the middle of the fest the bands came to the original Schedule by themselves. Every band had good self-organization. So thanks again to them for such a strain.

All the bands were amazing by their own way:

Slow Ride Home opened the festival with the shine of the sun. Great Instrumental vibes.

Kiev's Bluesbreaker punched the publick with the good dose of oldschool hc mixed with catchy bluesy riffs.


Bomg from Monastyryshe, UA was a biggest surprise to me. Slow & Heavy. Fabulous Debut of father/son/Electric Wizard collaboration. These Guys will have a good future in records and live shows for sure.


Stoned Jesus - great & artistic as they are.


Forever Wasted - ugly and dirty, just the way it should be. Sludge is a word. Begotten movie on the background was terribly strong )


Torn From Earth - were absolutely smashing. Heavy, slow/intence vibes in your face.


Ethereal Riffian - I was so glad to watch and listen to ER for the first time. Great artistic debut. Wonderful percussion, Dejiridu (australian tube), black robes, 3! smoke machines, special lights, Stonezilla's intence guitar work, Shamanic video made by SAF (Hope you'll get a better screen on Redburn), the guys made really hard work prepearing this festival. Hug you all for yor blasting first time appearence !)))


Kamni - Good people & excellent, expressive musicians. I can watch them live forever.


Tombstones - I'd better say - "no comments" doomy tunes. You've saw 'em by your eyes, heard 'em by your ears. If not - you'd better punch yourself. Cool guys with a great sence of humour.


Currently we're thinking about the next volume. We wrote and underlined all the mistakes and shortages about the organization, so next year there will be less of them.
Nobody knows how the things can turn next year, anyway we wanna keep the same place for the fest & bring that great friendly DIY feeling for the next event. Maybe moving dates for early week in September. Maybe 2-3 days. We'll see later.


Cheers to the fans of Robust music!
Hope to see you next year!

Sincerely yours,
PhillO))) & Robustcrew

Here's the final "the making of" video. To tell a few words about the fest itself - it was KICK-ASS! 
We will write the report soon.

Abyss stares back at you.....


Amarok (US) offers you to look into the eyes of the abyss. The four from California has came up with a self-titled EP in 2010, and a vinyl LP. Sludge/doom with drone and psychedelic elements at it's best. Think of Finland's sludge finest Frogskin meet US monsters Cough sometimes combined with Dopesmoker-like riffage (EP's first track), and top notch psychedelic solos & drones. Death/doom touch is felt as well (2nd track).
That like misery sounds like.

The band has recently did an entire US tour where they have shared stage with Samothrace, Floor, Weedeater & Cough.

Don't miss them playing and be sure to buy their upcoming releases:

- a split with Cough (Forcefeild records)
- a split with H.C. Minds
- a split with Hell (members of Leech)

One of the most essential debuts on the sludge/doom scene during the last two years in my opinion. Keep an eye on them.
