BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS ?s/t? LP - 3 songs ( about 45 minutes ) of massive doom, think Khanate meets Corrupted, mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN ( old lady drivers, khanate, phantomsmasher ). Black Shape of Nexus? brand of doomic energy is drawn from bands like Harvey Milk, Karp, The Melvins, godheadSilo, more a sort of downtuned propulsive sludge with doom elements, than pure doom. Thick ropy buzzbass, pounding destructo drums, throaty howls, grinding guitars, all lurching and swaying like some drugged and demented superrock doombeast, all filtered through a bit of grinding screamo and some buzzed out metallic blackness. Produced by James Plotkin. Spiffy black and gold sleeves.
DEATHRATS ?s/t? 7″ - Debut 7″on purple splattered vinyl by these Washington, DC female fronted hardcore punk thrashers. Watching them live is an experience in of it itself (does that make any sense?), now they have transferred all the rage and energy they put into their notorious live shows onto a slab of vinyl. For fans of I Object, PUNCH, Lebenden Toten, Coleman (remember them?), and awesome noisy ear-blasting hardcore. Limited edition of 300 with silk-screened covers.
SALOME ?s/t? LP - 4 songs of massive, heavy doom / sludge metal somewhere between killing groovy riffing and the absolute lava viscosity of BURNING WITCH; hailing from Virgina. ?Drug-induced and alcohol-fueled heavy stoner slugdecore with thundering guitars, pounding drums and eerie painful screamed or grunted vocals from a female vocalist. SALOME take the obligatory SABBATH-influences in their riffing and transcend them into a monotonous, but no way lethargic monster that tends between pure hate and some hidden melancholy. Actually unbelievable that it is only guitar and drums building this massive wall of sound and that it is an airy lady having this ugly voice from somewhere deep below. This shit is goddamn HEAVY!?
