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...

Amped

This band frustrates me. They've got the tools, but consistency is often a problem. While "Amped" has its moments, there is never enough going for it to make it a well rounded, quality album of traditional heavy metal. One can always find some satisfactory Jack Frost riff heft here and there, but wi...

Cannibal Massacre EP

Awesome Chicago old-school filth revivalists release a sure-to-be-collectible limited-edition three-inch CD (also available on 7" single, obviously without the video track). It's great for the tchotchke value — can you really have too many three-inch CDs in your collection? But musically, it's a bit...

Vampire Circus

The tremors of a giant, throbbing bass guitar send worms slithering to safety above ground as a hot 'n' bluesy doom riff and a steady drum beat introduce the Lemmy-esque bourbon vocals of a man called Sherm. It is EARTHRIDE's second full-length release, "Vampire Circus", and it smokes like an oil fi...

Emerald Vulture

Oh it's ugly alright...hairy and sticky too. SOURVEIN has returned with another helping of viscous swamp dirges. Guitars cranked to 10, the four stings just a buzzin, and T-Roy Medlin's (ex-BUZZOV*EN) vokills a tad less scratchy and every bit as brain-fried and miserable as WEEDEATER's Dave "Dixie"...
