ALBUM REVIEW: Shadow of Everest – The Hunting Ground

There is just something about the north (the North-American north, also known as Canada) and fantastic groups that seem to ride the stoner-rock/metal style out of ‘stoner’ territory. No joke, I mean it could be a group of people smoking joints while playing and I could only say it mirrors the style, not the content… Continue reading

JANUARY 2018 PICKS

Here it comes, another completely unnecessary list of bands! Every month I\’ll be looking at the top three bands, of those I\’ve personally reviewed, that I feel are stand outs. I\’ve not listened to every band that comes my way, there isn\’t enough hours in the day. This is strictly opinion based, so feel free… Continue reading

REVIEW: Motherslug – The Electric Dunes of Titan (Self-Released)

It feels like some serious talent has been seeping slowly out of Australia, and finally becoming available to us knuckle draggers overseas. First I was able to experience the likes of Arketh, and now this? 2018 is truly getting off to a good start. One can hope that this pace is kept, and that more… Continue reading

REVIEW: Owl Maker – Paths of the Slain

OWL MAKER PATHS OF THE SLAIN SELF-RELEASED Owl Maker rides a fine-line between the world of driving rock and doomy stoner-metal bands such as Red Fang, and Mastodon, the combination providing just enough energy to distinguish itself from the countless duplicates floating around these days. In fact, Owl Maker seems to find its home in… Continue reading

REVIEW: Flummox – Phlummoxygen

Flummox – PhlummoxygenTridroid Records The day of schizophrenic Alternative-metal such as Mr. Bungle and early Red Hot Chili Peppers has long passed. To me, the entire craft was swallowed up by the fact that people generally find more complicated and obscure music harder to digest – oddly even more then most extreme genres. Personally, I… Continue reading

REVIEW: OLDE – I

If you\’ve heard anything about OLDE, its no doubt good. The band has already made a significant impact with \’I\’ and no doubt its roll has just begun, especially with the first full length being titled \’I\’ (obviously). So, if I sound like I\’m singing the same old tune as other publications – I probably… Continue reading
