The Garden of Unearthly Delights
Some things in life, you can depend on. A CATHEDRAL album is usually one of them. Dave Patchett art, Lee Dorrian's mad warble, delightfully silly movie samples, and most importantly, lurching, fetid SAB grooves grinding in first gear across the English countryside in varying degrees of doominess. Th...January 30, 2006

Tunnelvision Brilliance
Don't buy this expecting heavy-lidded riff rock along the lines of Scott Reeder's former bands, KYUSS and THE OBSESSED. Reeder may have auditioned for METALLICA, and you may see him pop up onstage with TOOL once in a while, but he's also a mellow, laid back guy who lives on a ranch out in the ...January 16, 2006

Withering To Death
They dress up like MARILYN MANSON rejects and sing in Japanese. Ya gotta hand it to anyone crazy enough to take a chance on this band, supposedly one of the biggest in the Land of the Rising Sun — I can't picture hordes of English-speaking kids flocking to this scattershot mixed bag of twisted, melo...January 16, 2006

Wake Pig
Not (thank the gods) the '80s delete-bin staple featuring ELP alumni Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, this 3 is in fact a weird, proggy upstate New York band that pals around with COHEED AND CAMBRIA and gets compared to THE MARS VOLTA. Fans of either of these groups, PORCUPINE TREE, or the late and la...January 9, 2006

Anyone unfamiliar with the pedigree of GREEN CARNATION could be forgiven for thinking this EP was, at various intervals, a new product from COLDPLAY, U2, PINK FLOYD or PORCUPINE TREE. Make no mistake, while this is all acoustic, it's as lush, orchestrated, and enigmatic as any "electric" album from...January 2, 2006
