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.

- Enter The Battlefield -

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.

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.

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)

Three different drummers. Three different sets...

This is for you, stoned fellas.

After years of toiling away in obscurity, followed by years of escalating interest during their hiatus, the legendary Florida band Floor reunited for a handful of shows in April 2010. Three different drummers. Three different sets. Over two hours of material spanning their early dirgey/noise singles to their landmark psych/drone/pop self-titled masterpiece. Filmed over two nights at the EARL in Atlanta, Georgia, "Sight & Seen" is truly something that needs to be seen to be believed.

A multi-camera performance coupled with professionally recorded and mixed audio, "Sight & Seen" is an enveloping, droning wall of guitars. Floor's two guitarists, Anthony Vialon and Steve Brooks (of TORCHE fame), spend over two hours on stage with their various drummers. Their three drummers, Betty, Jeff and Henry, rotate through the band's lineup: crashing through their early singles, smoking the viewer with their mid-period haze and ending with the cathartic and anthemic final album.

Disc #1 of "Sight & Seen" also includes a 20 minute featurette that documents the band's history with never-before-seen live footage, photography and interviews.

Disc #2 is intended lure in both massive fans and completists alike. A data disc (which means you pop it in your computer), it includes:

--high quality audio files of both Atlanta shows (not just the one shown on disc #1)

--the complete and edited film of Floor that ended up on the cutting room floor (which clocks in at over 2 hours of video)

And in addition to this, the band has opened up their video vaults to include:

--over an hour of archival footage spanning Floor's career from 1993 at Churchill's in Miami to their final shows in 2002.

"Sight & Seen" is also housed in an elaborate package which was initially used on Chunklet's landmark "Anthem" 2xDVD release by Harvey Milk in 2006. All designed by Chunklet's in-house designer, Henry H. Owings.

Mail order copies will be available on a few different 'colors' (in editions of 50...at no additional cost) and "Sight & Seen" is a one-time release of 700 never to be reissued.

I've uploaded only .avi & mp3 files just for pre-view. Hope you'll make the right decision.
The DVD sounds and looks much better.

Enter the Ethereal World...

It's really hard to write a review, because I know these guys well for a damn-long period of time. Decade is the word. Responsible and friendly godfellas through all these years.
I was really wondered when guys started to play. About 2 years ago there was a project that consisted of Max & Stonezilla. They've tried different musical genres from brutal grindcore to acoustic blues songs. A little bit later SAF (Stonezilla's brother) started to play bass and joined them. So, that's how the core of Ethereal Riffian was created. The main goal was to create good sounding conceptual product. And they did it well.

Here is my view on a concept of "Shaman's Visions":

This is a solid tale about Shaman's journey out of his body and back. He is not young nor old. He feels a wisdom of a hundred-year old man. During the flight Shaman meets different creatures. Some of them are dark and evil, others are kind and light, the rest is ether. The man's rhythmic voice-vibes are bringing spirit into the core of the Universe. He understands a whole truth. Coming down into the body. The silent smile fades above the blown up beard.

I should say really big respect to all the ER crew. The really hard work is done.
Max the artist also made great debut.

Don't wana write any similar bands/styles/genres...listen and decide for yourself !
Write your own review in comment section. All constructive critics, lovers, haters are welcome.

Nowadays Ethereal Riffian is looking for a drummer. He should be at least such a kind of personality (inside the body at least :)) :


If you really enjoyed the stuff and wanna buy a physical copy (which is more awesome) write to this mail riffianrockmusic@gmail.com
We're thinking of making some more catchy ER merch soon...Playing gigs are also needed.

10 Euro/15$ - for Shamanic Digi pack (Only 50 were made, handmade, hand played)

Be fast as Flash Gordon to catch shamanic digi. it goes really fast now...And for sure it worth each penny you will spread on it.

I hope that Robustfellow blog will have some kind of little distro-shop soon with some nice titles and low-as-we-can prices.

Are you ready for the loud-stoned-alco-party ?
Gay Paris came here to fill your mouth with cheap booze, bring you some fire to burn a joint, and finally to punish your ears with nasty, loud, cathy, foxfucking fresh anekdotes.


GP has their own row dirty sounding face in modern Australian scene. Deep punk, stoner, r'n'r roots are detected. I'm really much into their epic rock moments when the music goes quiet down and then overflows into mosh-dance hit. Pretty damn good for debut.
Someone will call this somekind of brutalized version of Clutch's "Impetus" era, and a lot of more good catchy bands...

this is what others are thinging about GP
