A very nice mixture of Stoner and Heavy metal with some doom metal influence. A much different sound than that found on Iron Will and should make older fans of the band's works much happier.

This fantastic record was actually one of the first true early 70s hard rock/early metal albums i obsessively enjoyed. There are quite a few doomy riff based tracks here that any early Sabbath fan will instantly appreciate. The vocals, to some can be kind of a let down as they are a little over the top, but i like what they add to the record. Unfortunately enough, tragedy struck in '76 when the band's tour bus slammed into a stationary tanker, killing 3 members.

Discovered, managed and produced by none other than legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, Cumbria based Necromandus were a band destined for great things that unfortunately never happened. Now considered a cult band of early 70's progressive hard rock, what we have here is a fantastic collection of their Doomed 1973 full-length album, Orexis of Death, originally intended for release on the legendary Vertigo label. It's coupled with a storming, extremely rare live set also recorded that same year at The Blackpool Casino.

Fudge Tunnel were formed in Nottingham, UK, by Alex Newport, David Ryley and Adrian Parkin. Their debut album "Hate Songs in E Minor" attracted press interest after the original album artwork was confiscated by Nottingham Vice Squad. Fudge Tunnel's reputation was built around their massive guitar sound and ironic sense of humour, which didn't always endear them to the music press.

2nd album from Dave Gryder and company. Excellent stuff here that are so alike the early DEEP PURPLE, "In rock" era that it's scary. One of these albums you can't live without if you're into 70's hardrock !

If you like bands like Captain Beyond, Deep Purple, Grand Funk and Mahogany Rush... then don´t hesitate... it´s almost 70 minutes of incredibly wellmade heavy rock, 70´s style, with more than a bit of that progressive vibe. ~ StonerRock.com

Cathedral finally released a fresh new album...unlike other albums,this one has some psychedelic/progressive rock elements.This was inevitable,as Cathedral experimented this on the earlier EP-es ''Statik Majik'' and ''Hopkins(the witchfinder general)'',which are more experimental,including even funk and jazz elements.This is a hard-to-digest type release.It may be a mixed bag,but all the new elements included are perfectly entwined with stoner/doom metal.High class Cathedral!

The debut album from swedish The Graviators lurks in the abysmal shadows. Heavy, groovy 70´s occult doom/hardrock in the fine tradition of Pentagram. See for yourself and prepare to be blown away!

2010 release of the band's debut album for the Rise Above label. Inspired by the second wave of post 70's doom bands such as Saint Vitus, Trouble, and Candlemass, this is heavy music that is heartfelt and genuine.

A stunning album that evolves through many styles of ambient, from the hypnotic oriental/tribal percussion loops in 'drowning in air' to the noisy synthdrones in 'speeding across my hemisphere' without loosing orientation. This welladjusted diversity makes it an album that stands out from the rest of the experimental ambient of the late 80s-mid 90s.

The first Hawkwind album brings a band, quite hippie by the time and influenced slightly by Pink Floyd in the musical, and more strongly in the conceptual.

Release Your Mind Volume 2 is part label sampler, part who's who in the experimental music genres, and all a work of art. The first disc focuses more on the ambient side of the experimental genre. This includes some of the more ethnic tracks as well as improvised and drone material. This disc is best enjoyed as subtle background music for any activity around the house that deserves a subdued soundtrack. The second disc is where things start to get interesting. It features a great deal more percussion and starts to get noisy in places. The final disc is restricted to the hard-core noise enthusiasts as it contains some of the most brutal noise acts on the planet. What makes this compilation so outstanding is that is crosses so many genres within the 200 minutes of music contained within it and it does so with subtle mood change from track to track allowing the music to build momentum from a dull buzz to a full blown torrent of feedback.

Minimal time signature fuckery like a sort of prog rock via Philip Glass. Sexy spoken word vocals by Ruth Collins are the icing on the cake. She has a voice like a secretary as she recites lines like "there are not necessarily patterns in traffic...just an urge to make connections," over intense, repetitive grooves.

This album features some of the most lush and enticing musical landscapes you could ever hope and dream of hearing. Highlights include the driving pace of "Hung on a line" to the lower key, but still intense work of "Red Plateau." But don't take my word for it, listen to the tracks and take a chance, you won't regret it.
