Domovoyd - Oh Sensibility
Psychedelic Stoner Metal
Catchy grooves and trippy landscapes galore, the first full release from this Finnish four piece is definitely one of the better stoner efforts of 2013, as well as one of the best debuts. Has a very "lazy floating" type of feeling at many points, creating an atmosphere that's quite easy to fall back and get lost in. If that and the fantastic album art don't win you over, I don't know what will.
Turn on, tune in, drop out.

As the days get shorter and the air gets colder, this can only mean Damnation Festival is approaching once more. This year saw the ninth edition of the festival, and the biggest to date with Carcass leading the typically diverse line-up. Damnation Festival weekend is marked in everyone's calendar because of its tradition of bringing together the most eclectic collection of extreme bands and creating some great memories.

Wise words indeed, unless you fast forward 10 hours and a few beers too many later and find yourself not in the best of shapes for heading to work. But that's a whole other story, back to that Sunday evening. (by drynwhyl) Read more ›› |

A Forest Of Stars - Opportunistic Thieves Of Spring (2010)
With The Corpse Of Rebirth, A Forest Of Stars split the Black metal scene in half. One camp thought of it a genius, complex masterpiece, the other camp thought of it a pretentious, overly elaborate piece of drivel. I happily pitched my tent in the former camp and praised AFOS for their fresh approach and their attention to detail and imaginary. At the same time, I 'feared' A Forest Of Stars would prove to be one of the bands that would rapidly depart Black metal in favour of stronger, genre-transcending...
