"EOS" was nominated for the Best Metal album of 2010 at the Estonian Music
Awards.

...down on your knees...

TONER LOW
Holland
Doom/Drone

Toner Low are a band from Leiden (Holland), having been around for fourteen years now. Starting off as a more or less traditional, yet quite directionless stoner/space/guitar rock-band they gradually evolve into doomy psychedelic droners that emphasize on repetitive riffing and minimalism with an overwhelming massive and heavy sound. This sound is first heard to its fullest on Toner Low"s debut cd, that got released in 2005.

"I know this band since their beginnings and i'm really a fan of this band...they create a amazing downtuned wall of sound and a energyful moment...the sound of the record is so heavy that you feel the pressure on every tone...and the tones blades long and convincingly. This third album comes with a really big destructive cock and!

...let's start the engine...

PALMER GENERATOR
ITALY
STONER/PSYCH

Palmer Generator is a Band born in Jesi/Ancona (IT) in spring 2010, thanks to the collaboration between Tom Palmer (the guitarist), his brother Michael (at the bass) and Matt (behind the drums. He's the son of Michael). The idea was to produce a stoner/alternative rock sound delineated by aggressive rhythmic and enriched by experimental cue with dreamlike reference, psychedelic and post-rock influences.
Sharing the same experiences of life they decide to join their musical abilities. 

Letting the melody flowing between the wide empty spaces of their neurons, they translate their mind-trips in long music travels, and thanks to a great flexibility in the composition of music, moving inside their sound, they can develop truth different musical landscapes.


FEEL IT HERE

"I love this trio of family members who create such a fat wall of sound. The album "(e​)​motionless" begins with a showering sleepy intro, sounds interesting...the full first track comes with a drone riff and forms to a very smooth psychy part with exotic instruments and a lovely atmosphere. In the next seven song's you  can experience lots of good moments...the singing does not convince me...but too bad it is not.
My favourite song's:"Enliven, Jargon and Sleep" let my tympanum vibrate...that makes good mood.
The sound is muffled, but heartily...so get your free and enjoy!"

...electric hooves on the rocks...

ELECTRIC JESUS
Russia
Sludge/Doom/Stoner

We are Electricjezus – two man band from Russia, Moscow region, Dmitrov.
The group consist of 2 people, but a set of instruments remains classical – guitar, drums, bass. It became possible by installing single bass pickup in the neck of guitar. Also we use a very thick strings for best bass sound and use two 22” rides or piece of metal for hi hat. All our lyrics on album in Russian.

bandcamp
VK.COM

The band’s style is very multifaceted, you can find here post rock, sludge metal, doom metal, power violence, black metal, hardcore, stoner and everything you want. This is partly due love for groups like Melvins, Electric Wizard, Earth, Jucifer, Today Is The Day, Black Flag, Sunn O))), Monarch, Extreme Noise Terror, Flipper, Acid Bath, Unsane, Scratch Acid, Burning Witch, Dystopia, Ministry, Pantera, etc. We took a piece of these groups, added our surrounding reality (dirt, noise, monotony) and got our music. With this concept we played about a dozen shows in various cities including Moscow, Moscow region and St. – Petersburg.
Not long ago, we recorded a rusty, damp and dirty album titled «Mud of generations», and want to introduce it to you! It was recorded entirely on analog equipment and it fully live record, we recorded the album close to reality and it sounds exactly as we sound on live performances. During recording, we used analog equipment from different years and from different countries, old Soviet synthesizers, old piano, use ride cymbals or broken crash with piece of metal for hi hats, use old microphones.
For the integrity album we decided to insert audio from popular and not so horror films, these inserts reflect the character and mood of the songs, so we recommend you Listen album from the beginning to the end.
By the way Mud of generations is our debut album, which was recorded entirely on analog equipment but we live in an age of high technology and we decided to do a free digital release on Bandcamp, the digital age - a digital release, but not forgetting about analog equipment and lovers of physical media (especially fans of vinyl), we plan to release (if all goes as planned) a small print run of vinyl records!

"Another dirty sludge/doom metal band with a ugly and aggressive vocals, spooky samples of old horror movies,  slow driving rhythms and a interesting concept of the whole album...i like it, check them out and get your own free album on bandcamp!!"

...horned tunes straight from italy...



 NIBIRU
DOOM/SLUDGE
ITALY
 
 Nibiru is formed in august 2012 by the split up of Tronus Abyss (several studio albums and live with
Wolves in the Throne Room in 2010) the band moves towards psychedelic sludge
sonority with an enphasis on vocals only in enochian language,



deciding to record
the songs in direct drive to preserve the spirit and the energy of improvisation
on which the same are based,adding very few overdubs of keyboards and vocals during the mixing.
The band consist of three elements, Siatris:drums and Virus, Ardath:guitar and enochian chants, RI: bass and liturgic organ.


The band is notable for the disturbing videos posted on the web (Invokation I: the Acid Skull,
Celeste:Samsara is broken, Smashanam:the crematorium ground of Kali and Invokation IV: Heru-khentan-maati) visible on youtube,facebook and reverbnation.

The month of February 2013 saw the release of their first cd "Caosgon", containing five tracks that we difined ritual psychedelic sludge.

"At first to the cover...a google image unimaginative and distorted...ok? To the music ...The Intro (available for free on bandcamp) is a track with a proud length of  18 minutes, on this song you can build your first impression. The song builds slowly to a smooth structure until it explodes in heavy doom riffing. A really good opener for  the album"Caosgon" of this horned italians...It continues with "Smashanam, The Crematorium Ground Of Kalu"a downtuned high gain chainsaw noise forms into a acid rock part and turns off at about 5 minutes...fortunately! Aster Argos,the third track on this crazy disc of sound constitutes a inharmonious successive ranking of riff structures that sometimes comes nice but the most of the time was exhausting for my ears.
Again a fat start with this downtuned crumbly bass guitar...ends again in a massacre of tones, strangely, it grooves once again!!! "Umbra Venefica" the last song on this album...The first minutes are very interesting but after a time it is simply too unstructured. My Conclusion:
If you like band's like FJODOR, The Cosmic Dead maybe you will understand a little this music...everyone wants he wants."
