ALASTOR

Another Fabio submission, this one some doom metal
from Italy, the "Black Magic" EP from Alastor......he attached a full review so we may as well eyeball that as well.......

If your a fan of gritty underground rock music then no matter where your searches take you, be it the rainforests of Brazil or the neon lit streets of the USA,  there is a high probability that your search for a gnarly groove will eventually bring you to Sweden. Whether it's dark dismal doom, raucous stoner, hard driving blues, swirling psych/space or growling black/death metal Sweden has a band that can deliver it.
Swedish doomsters Alastor cherrypick from these various underground genres and sub-genres, taking what they can use and discarding what they can't, blending what they've accumulated in a swirling assemblage of grizzly riffage and acid-laced groove that is wholly their own, as can be experienced on the bands debut EP "Black Magic" (Twin Earth Records).

"Enemy" is the first of the three songs that make up "Black Magic" and creeps menacingly out of the speakers on slow low wave of heavily distorted riffage supported by pulverising pounding percussion interspersed with occasional squealing guitar licks. The track slowly builds until the hazy, slightly distant and ethereal vocals appear, their haunting tones bringing an air of mysticism to the proceedings. The songs dark monolithic groove hardly deviates from it's meandering slow doom path throughout its eleven minutes (plus) span but this works to its advantage giving the song a feeling of impending danger and growing terror, akin to being chased in some 50's horror movie by a dishevelled monster, a leaden leg dragging behind it, that no matter how fast you try to run is still there lumbering malevolently just behind you.
"Nothing To Fear" lightens the atmosphere a shade and sees the band jamming a gnarly proto-doom groove replete with wah drenched guitar pyrotechnics and reverb soaked vocals. Those feeling of menace and foreboding experienced on the first track still remains but are ever so slightly diluted by the faster tempos and lightened but still effective sonic attack.
"Black Magic", a massive doom drenched opus stretched over fourteen minutes, blends elements of the two previous tracks and adds into those elements touches of swirling acid colouring. Basically a song of two halves "Black Magic" begins on a deliciously grizzled, mid-tempo, proto-doom groove over which hazy clean vocals are delivered, the singer smoothly stretching his vocal register to hit the songs higher notes, then segues, via a slow psych drenched passage of growling low bass and intricate percussion, into a pounding doom refrain with dark shards of guitar colouring reverberating with sustain around a repeated vocal mantra before finishing on a wave of screaming guitar and thunderous rhythm. 
Heavy, hazy and humongous "Black Magic" is a stunning debut that will leave listeners hungrily begging for more.
Check it out ....

The Kids

You never know what'll you'll find when looking for something else.......who remembers early 80's power-
pop whizzes The Kids? Well, not many, judging upon the sparse amount of information available on the web in reference to them.......not much at all. However, this is a fair album, VERY typical 80's power pop, lots of synths and crunchy guitars, It's a good album, if you are a fan of that vintage 80's sound, one of the few good sounds that particular kidney stone of a decade could produce for us!

cool stoner/doom for your approval......as fabio points out, you can hear some Kyuss influences here, but still quite original......be sure and check the fucking fabulous "Crimson Sky", a good one!

RUDIMENTARY PENI

1980's UK anarcho-punk from Rudimentary Peni.......been around since 1980, with tons of songs about
political issues, life/death, and other, various socio-political topics. The band were fronted up by singer/guitarist Ted Binko, bassist Grant Matthews, and drummer Jon Greville.

Soooooo, we have about 7 albums, pretty much your standard punk of the era, for the most part favorable.......reminds me most, perhaps, of Sham 69, I guess, and what could be wrong with that? OK, here is each album, broken down in case you only want one.

HYPATIA LAKE, REDUX

The other day I posted another album by this crew, crazy Hawkwind-like space/psych, and damn good too.....well a search of their Bandcamp turns up another goodie, 2006's "And We Shall Call Him Joseph".....more of the fabulous distorted vocals and fuzzy instrumentation common in the music of this scene.......some kind of smart-guy conceptual affair going on here, soon as I figure it out we can compare notes I reckon!

http://www88.zippyshare.com/v/7U4gcupj/file.html

Totally CANNED-out

At least that is how Zigzag wanderer must feel, reaching the end of the AMAZING "Complete Can" series he created, much more popular than either he or I expected, this could be the ULTIMATE Can collection......for today, one more live show, three downloads as it is in FLAC.........gonna sound awesome in FLAC.....everyone who indulged in this, please thank zigzagwanderer, he did an amazing job with this, i mean just remarkable.

Sea Fuzz

From John N come a trio of recordings from Sea Fuzz, good distorted shoe-gazing rock n roll the way it sounds today.....first we have "Groovin With the Eternal Now", a fine EP from 2014 which I wish I had heard earier....

GROOVIN-01 Waves/02 Weightless/03 Sunset/04 Bocce Ball/05 Anenomes/06 Wash/07 Sky Cowboys

Next from 2015 comes the "Sea Fuzz" EP:

SEA FUZZ-01 Shores/02 Superimtelligence/03 Fluidity/04 Eternal Wind/05 Formless

And, from right now up to the fab "Skygazing", MORE spacey trippy modern day psych

SKY GAZING-01 Beach Buzz!/02 Sun Gazing/03 Cloud in the Sky/04 Nowhere to Go/05 Breeze/06 Garuda Dreams/07 Mind Voyager/08 Rainbow Light

I recommend all three, great spacey rock somewhat a modernized Hawkwind, a compliment.

The Creatures 1981-83

Early stuff from the Creatures, yet another case of an excellent male/female duo in that era, it's remarkable.... Raveonettes, Firey Furnaces, White Stripes, Mommy & Daddy, The Kills,  lots more too it really encapsulated part of the era's progression of sound toward some of todays sounds.

Thanks to John N for working hard and sending me this red hot link! BTW if unaware, the band were singer Siouxsie Siouxsie and instrumentalist Budgie from the Slits......a lot of primitive tribal stuff like Bow Wow Wow or Adam & The Ants.
