Cold Cave - The Trees Grew Emotions and Died [12", Dais Records, 2008]



It’s every so often that one finds a record to be so incredibly infectious that it demands constant repeated listening. The addiction becomes so all encompassing to the point where one may wonder if they can really listen to anything else, and if this is the case should they purchase another copy so in case the record finally wears down they can continue listening. “The Tress Grew Emotions and Died” is exactly that kind of record for me. It has spent the last month and a half on the turntable or right next to it. Typically it goes on first thing in the morning and then gets spun at least twice during the remainder of the day.

Ironically as much joy as I find in this record “The Trees Grew Emotions and Died” in many ways functions as a comedown. As the needle plays across the grooves the atmosphere gets darker beckoning the listener to finally rest their head for the evening. The title track makes up the first side and appears much more upbeat affair, with its fast 4/4 beat and almost in sync male/female, but like its title implies there is darkness coupled with the joy. On the flips side Cold Cave brings us deeper into complex emotions with the brooding “Our Tears Help the Flowers Grow” where the male and female vocals now oppose one another over deep synthesizer swells. The lyrics are simple as the male voices repeats the simple mantra “I’m not in Love” the female constantly mentions tears. On the closer, “Heaven’s Gate” the male vocalist is not joined by his female counterpart dragging the listener deeper into melancholy with his echoed vocals lamenting the closing of heavens gate. As downhearted as the record is lyrically and even tonally there exists something continually about the record upliftin that allow the listener to remain intact at the end.

The dark wave dance music is in fact nothing new at all and may at first appear rather overly retro with its 4/4 beats, deep Goth vocals and swelling analogue synthesizers, yet somehow it feels so incredibly fresh. What it all boils down to is simple and great songwriting that never manages to become overly nostalgic but more or less continues carrying on a in a tradition, that some may first interpret as belonging to a specific time and place. The only problem with “The Trees Grew Emotion & Died” is that its short length constantly leaves you wanting more. But then again you simply have to get off your ass and turn it over. 10/10

Cold Cave - Painted Nails [7", Hospital Productions, 2008]



i have seen the future, and it's no place for me. this is a special record for hospital. although we have always shared a certain love for trance, power noise, synth pop, and 80's industrial music it is the first time we directly venture into this controversial and rhythmic world. cold cave presents 3 tracks of authentically morose epic anthems with the texture of a shattered champagne glass. imagine a highly damaged downward spiral era demo hitting the raw nerve to heart where all breaths freeze in rapture and all feelings croak in the blood of the beat-less heart.

Slomo - The Bog (Important, 2008)



The Bog is the 2nd full-length release from Slomo, honing down the ritual clatter of their first album, The Creep (2005), into a more cumbersome and laden affair, ever heading downwards into the Northern Underworld upon slurries of unsignposted mung.

Core duo Holy McGrail & Howard Marsden once again create a lumpy bed of bass-heavy synthesizer and guitar drones while Arch-drude Julian Cope provides a coda to proceedings with the recital of his poem Land, especially written for this album.

SEEKER: rozumím, imho ale to, že to byl metalový web ještě nic neznamená resp. ač v dnešní době může metal vypadat jako velmi "otevřený" styl, tak imho naprostá většna metalistů jsou pořád v jádru strašné konzervy, takže dost často nynější nadšené recenze na věci "zvenčí" jsou často tak nějak "amatérsky mimo"...

tak a je to tu. poslední album raccoo-oo-oon.

JONY: no čet sem právě asi 2-3 mini reviews i z metal zdrojů. a všude byla zmiňovaná ta nekompromisnost. Jen mě to zaujalo, jak je takováhle hudba vnímaná, protože sou fakt mnohem nekompromisnější věci a tady je název asi to jediný zajímavý - jinak je to nudná struktura metalovýho tracku přejetá trochou nějaký dístorze, a přesně, nedrží to nijak pohromadě ani v nějakym zajímavym napětí
(mě jen zajímá otázka recepce různejch žánrů a v nich různý vnímání škatulek popové/nekompromisní/neposlouchatelné apod.)

SEEKER: já ti nevím, co si pamatuji, tak jsem si to tenkrát poslechl jednou a dost mne to minulo, přišlo mi to takový dost nekoherentní... ty popisky byly na nějakým metalovým webu? imho bych je moc neřešil.

Skullflower - Taste The Blood Of The Deceiver (Not Not Fun, 2008)



First vinyl in ages from the mighty Skullflower, and much like the triple cd box reviewed elsewhere on this list, the new SF sound finds Skullflower mastermind mixing the two distinct sides of his sound, the looped hypnotic riffy side, and the free abstract noise side, and the results are pretty fantastic, forging a new sort of noise drenched, proto metal abstract free drone psychedelia, and of course incorporating all kinds of other sounds, like black metal buzz, and minimal industrial percussion. The lp is the perfect addendum to that massive triple album box, serving almost like a 4th disc in the set, covering similar ground, but with its own particular twist.
Side one opens with that distinctive abstract-krautrock, metallic-psychedelic riff that only Skullfower seems to be able to pull off, looped and repetitive, but slowly shifting, almost imperceptibly, over a swirling morass of distorted buzz and feedback drenched howl, noisy and heavy but strangely meditative. The follow up shifts gears and offers up a buzzing wall of sound with soaring high end melodic streaks over the top, and what sounds like vocals buried WAY down in the mix. Hot on the heels of that one comes an awesomely droning psych rock dirge, this time with drums, and an incredibly catchy and surprisingly melodic main riff, woozy and druggy, but sounding like some classic eighties metal riff, just Skullflower-ed. And so it goes, the tracks shifting from chiming ritualistic dronemusic to buzzing abstract ambience to noisy almost-industrial plod and back again. And we're digging it big time. These two most recent releases might just be our favorite Skullflower records since Exquisite Fucking Boredom on tUMULt!

Blue Sabbath Black Cheer - Untitled (Gnarled Forest, 2008)



Blue Sabbath Black Cheer have become the band du jour of the deathdirgedronedoom scene, their records disappear in a heartbeat, we were lucky to get 25 of this new one, it's already out of print and sold out at the label.
This sick love for BSBC makes perfect sense the second the first filthy note comes oozing out of your speakers, this is harsh, hellish, abstract black black ambience. Take the slowest sickest Khanate song, strip away the drums, slow down the vocals to a raspy gurgle, add later after layer of filth and crust and grime and you'd be getting closer to whatever subterranean pit these anti-musical miscreants crawled from.
There's two side long tracks, each previously released as insanely limited cassettes, remixed and remastered for this release, with additional sounds from Chris Dodge of Spazz and aQ pal Matt Waldron from Irr. App. (Ext.). The A side begins with slowed down vocals, a monstrous demonic murmur, slithering over a grim landscape of high end hiss and deep tectonic rumbles, distant tones pulse and throb, all manner of crash and scrape and crunch, the track building slowly to a frenzy of hellish howls, thick sheets of white noise, crumbling walls of distortion, grinding washes of thick, dense buzz and whir, a seriously fucked up, freaked out expanse of post industrial noisemusic, thick with drones and haunting textures and undulating layers buried beneath the skree. The B side begins with a low resonating drone, a thick, serpentine rumble, that is eventually subsumed by a symphony of buzz saws and crackling fires and collapsing buildings and grinding scrapes and processed vocals and malfunctioning tape machines, all wound into some sort of hellish high end ur-drone, before slipping back into another shimmering expanse of upper register skree, eventually drifting back into something much more mellow but no less ominous and intense, a creepy low end drone, field recordings, crackle, whispers, evokes hiding in the woods, terrified, as something stalks you, muted growls, the crack of dried branches underfoot, the whisper of leaves falling to the ground, all set to the boom of distant explosions. Intense, and in its own way, sort of sickly beautiful.
Akin to Gnaw Their Tongues, Khanate, Wolf Eyes, Alkerdeel, the more abstract and dismal end of the doomdirgedrone spectrum.... this definitely takes all that and pushes it even further, darker, noisier, more dismal and way more grim.

znáte tu projekt kytaristy z The Faint "Vverevvolf Grehv - Zombie Aesthetics"? Naladěn recenzemi obdivujícími extrémnost spojení elektronické distorze a metalových riffů jsem si to navíc jakožto člověk zabývající se zombie filmy opatřil a aniž bych zatím hodnotil kvalitu, tak mě zarazilo, že je to tak měkký. To sou dneska metaláci tak vyměklý, že jim tohle přijde "Due to the cacophony of noise the first listening sessions of ‘Zombie Aesthetics’ are a sheer torture" ??!!

Suishou No Fune - Where The Spirits Are (Holy Mountain, 2008)



New album"Where The Spirits Are" of Suishou no Fune
by label Holy Mountain of American San Francisco started sale now.
Suishou no Fune's excellent new album, "Where the Spirits Are," will also be in stores on March 28, 2006. They are yet another astonishing example of Tokyo's rich tradition of producing dark, avant-garde psychedelic rock groups.
Holy Mountain
Formed in 1999 as a duo of female guitarist Pirako Kurenai and male guitarist Kageo, Suishou no Fune have been making some of the most charmingly chaotic dream music coming out of Japan. Their sound contains subcutaneous elements of no-wave energy mixed with psychedelic rock a la early Fushitsusha or Kousokuya. Other songs approach balladry with oddly beautiful twinned vocals and distorted guitars. They have performed around Tokyo with a list of people who could succinctly be described as everybody and were even invited to play Scotland's Weekend festival in 2005.
Midheaven U.S.A


Brand new album from the best post Fushitsusha/Rallizes underground rock group to chew Tokyo concrete in the past few years. Pirako’s fabulously wayward vocal gives the whole thing a dramatic edge of the void-style desperation, while the sublime octave-weighted fuzz moves of second guitarist Kageo are so uniformly on the money that you feel like you must’ve dreamt these solos in their entirety at least a buncha times. The addition of drums to the basic dual guitar set-up gives the whole thing a massive shot of forward momentum and the opening salvo is as great a blast of liberated rock form as you could possibly hope for. The downer ballads function to tip the whole picture further towards oblivion, with the somnambulant drug haze of Pirako’s guitar leading the whole group headfirst into new regions of breathless nada. Beautifully packaged in a textured dark blue sleeve, with shots of the duo looking exactly like yr favourite wasted bikers, this is the fucking TICKET you’ve been looking for.

Blood Of The Black Owl - A Feral Spirit (Bidrune Records, 2008)



The temperate rain forest of the Pacific Northwest of the United States is a fecund node, both psychological and physical, profoundly affecting all that dwell there with the irresistible song of nature: The call to grow, to seek illumination, to gain nourishment, to grapple with the true reality of existence, to fight for survival among the ancient pines of a world wracked with modernity.

From this organic cauldron comes BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL. Formed in 2004 by Heathen visionary Chet W. Scott, (of noted post-Industrial entity RUHR HUNTER), as a primitive fusion of slow tempo Earth Metal & Woodland Ritualistic Doom, the journey culminating in the debut self-titled album on Bindrune Records in 2006. An ode to the more destructive and primal elements found in not only nature, but in Black Metal and trance inducing Funeral Doom as well, the work marked a distinct movement away from the more ambient feel of much of the RUHR HUNTER material, while forging a unique musical path all his own in the deep woods of Washington state. 'A Feral Spirit' takes the journey further into the heart of the forest. Combining Native American shamanic influence and the Germanic nature worship of his own heritage with an entirely transcendent musical vision, BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL gives praise to the spirits of nature and the unspoken bonds that tie man, beast and environment. With elements of Doom Metal, ambient, ritual and native musics in evidence throughout the album, BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL involve the listener in a timeless and spiritually expansive journey of discovery, evaluation and reflection over the course of the album's 71 minutes. "A personal cleansing woven through audible passages of earthbound ritualistic transcendence"...

With its rigid stand against modernity and monotheism, 'A Feral Spirit' is a clarion call for the rebirth of the human animal spirit and a return to the ancestral forests of our past. BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL shall lead them...
