Stoned From The Underground: The Line- Up

Lo- Pan – Salvador
The awesomely named Lo- Pan have been around for a while, releasing two albums, before signing with Small Stone Records. It’s an appropriate move, as they fit right in with the company’s roster of no- nonsense hard rock acts. And while their previous albums were very good, if there’s any justice in this fucked up ...

Real Steel

Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) owns a boxing robot and pits it in the ring for money, but business don’t turn out to be profitable and Charlie ends up babysitting his not so welcome son Max (Dakota Goyo) for money ...

Not something one often gets to say about doom. Not that it lacks titanic riffs or an almost tribal rythm section, but it ...

Corrosion of Conformity – Corrosion of Conformity
COC are a strange proposition these days. During the 80s, they were the ultimate punk metal crossover band, with a string of era- defining hardcore albums. By 1991′s Blind and the addition of singer and guitarist Pepper Keenan, they gradually turned towards a bluesier, Southern metal sound. The albums that followed were extremely influential...

Lord Vicar – Signs of Osiris
Lord Vicar’s debut, Fear No Pain was an excellent traditional doom record. The follow- up however is in another league altogether. I could babble on and on about the band’s heritage (when your members used to be in Reverend Bizarre and Count Raven the stakes are very high), or about the delicious riffs and psychedelic ...
