RECENT ADDITIONS:
ACRIMONY / CHURCH OF MISERY - "split" CD $9
ACRIMONY's five tracks (never before released, and recorded in 1999) are awesome, melodic, insanely catchy stonerized post-Sabbath psychedelic riffchug anthems, with ultracool vocals from singer Dor and punishing, resin coated, slow as hell doom rock, with grooving asphalt riffs that easily challenge the likes of GOATSNAKE and ELECTRIC WIZARD for sludgy superiority. Awesome. Seriously awesome. CHURCH OF MISERY follow with four unreleased slammers, two of which ("Race With The Devil"- a GUN cover, and "Chilly Grave") were written/recorded for an EP that ended up never being released, and two other crushers ("Cloud Bed" and "Kingdom Scum"), all of which were recorded in 1996. Monstrous, wah-wah abusing stoner-Doom from these guys, who never fail to flatten us with their fuzz soaked riffage and city-levelling tempos. Again, essential for fans of ultra heavy stoner Doom and gooey sludge metal.

ALKERDEEL - "Luizig" CD $9
Reissue of the long-sold out demo tape that Funeral Folk put out in an edition of 66 copies. These guys are getting a real name for themselves in the metal underground and this is a statement of intent that justifies that! This is some of the most filthy, disgusting stuff I've ever heard; one long track that goes from all-out black metal fuzz to passages of total low-end DOOM to seriously disturbed ambient passages, all sounding like it was recorded on somebody's walkman in a dungeon somewhere. These Belgians create a serious ruckus, pounding super distorted grim necro ultra raw dirgey droney doom metal, I saw it described as filthyblacksludgedoomdrone which pretty much sums it up. Pounding sludge, with blown out practice space production, grinding guitars, blasting super distorted drums, filthy super sick vocals, with bursts of blackness and stretches of loping minimal crunch, sort of mathy, very doomy, all very very heavy and noisy and awesome. Essential for fans of BONE AWL, ANCESTORS, ASH POOL, BEHERIT, AKITSA as well as other practitioners of grim buzz and noise drenched sludge. Great three-panel foldout silver-on-black screenprinting, all in a thick PVC sleeve. Grim artwork by the late great Aubrey Beardsley.

ANOTHER KIND OF DEATH / ADRIFT / MOKSHA / MOHO - "Waterloo" CD $9
This brutally heavy release showcases material from four veteran bands. "Waterloo" compiles eleven tracks spanning 55 minutes total. Featured: Adrift (think of Iron Monkey, Keelhaul, Neurosis, Tool), Another Kind Of Death (reminiscent of Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan), Moksha (influenced by Down, Entombed, Isis, Zao) and the mighty Moho (Sludge Doom a la Corrupted, EHG, etc.)

BARBARA - "Peger" CD $9
Blown out, raw doomy dirge and slowed down, minor key black metal riffs with hysterical screamed vocals and massively distorted instruments. Deformed math rock riffs melting like hot tar over pounding drum solos and rumbling bass feedback, creeping into stretched out spacious atonal doom ala Khanate. Really catchy, melodic riffs pop up outta the sludge here and there. Long, extended slabs of droning feedback erupt into chaotic powerviolence. Tightly played but sprawling noisy sludge metal, like a noise rock Darkthrone meets Man Is The Bastard. Or Lightning Bolt and Godheadsilo trapped in an evil murk filled oubliette. Grinding, crushing, feedback-blasting splattery blackdirge mayhem.

BONGZILLA - "Nuggets" CD $9
Bongzilla are one of the best stoner sludge bands around. In fact, they manage to take the sound of EYEHATEGOD and all that sort of nihilistic NOLA stoner doom, groovy hip shaking stoner pop, and all manner of drug metal, and mix it with a big old dose of acid drenched space doom a la Hawkwind or Monster Magnet. A crushing dirgelike stoner riff sort repeates over and over eventually sort of splintering apart into slow floating slabs of fuzz guitar, drifting all hazy and mesemerizng, a blown out outer space psych jam of monumental proportions. If Bongzilla were called Krakow or Ultrablackbuzzhole or Fuckcrush or Strangle Flanger or something appropriately brutal and perplexing, if they were Japanese, if they had songs about serial killers instead of smoking pot, if they had super spiffy retro graphic design, or released super limited picture discs and multiple versions of every record and managed to sell as many records on eBay as they did in stores, but sounded EXACTLY the same, you can bet the rest of the stoner / sludge / doom / drone elite (Corrupted, EYEHATEGOD, Green Machine, Boris, Church Of Misery, Yob, etc.) would be cowering in terror (or at least, watching their backs), and all those crazy stoner-doom-drone collector freaks would be slobbering up a storm! "Nuggets" is a collection of singles, splits (with Cavity, Meatjack, Hellchild) and comp tracks from 1995 to the present. Awesome stuff.

B.SON - "Black Shape of Nexus" CD $9
Massive doom, think Khanate meets Corrupted, mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN (old lady drivers, khanate, phantomsmasher ) As much as we love us some ultra doom, some seriously sick slowness, you know, that doooooom, that is so glacial, that the songs begin to crumble and ooze into viscous black pools. We do. But sometimes we just want our doom to ROCK. Sounds contrary but it's been known to happen. Doom can be slow and low and still rock. Take B.Son for example. Whose particular 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. But goddamn if it isn't just as brutal and heck, doomy... 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. There are moments of blissed out post rockiness, and weird laid back grooves, stretched out near ambiance and dense little mathy jams, but those moments just serve to keep the doomed sludge rock fury from becoming too much. Spiffy black and gold sleeves.

BURMESE / CADAVER EYES - "split" CD $9
Like demented twins in crime, Burmese & Cadaver Eyes rephrase Doom, Grindcore and Power Electronics by using an agonizing mechanism of plain brutal aesthetics, ascending this release to a higher level of cognitive surge. This split CD is difficult and pungent, a warm spew in the face and an endless buzz in the eardrum that fiercely occupies the brain and treats the grey cells as if they were an ashtray. BURMESE offer up 11 new blasts of brutal, speaker shredding ultraviolence. A mix of Whitehouse style abstract noise, pummeling grind, damaged metal, freaked out power violence. They may be down to one drummer, but they still have two bass players, and now THREE vocalists. Offering up sprawling electronic dronescapes, sometimes, frantic flurries of lightning fast grind, sometimes convoluted lurching metallic crunch, and often all of the above at the same time. Hypnotic and heavy and seriously fucked up. CADAVER EYES give us spastic spurts of strangled grind, long stretches of speaker shredding electronic buzz and skree, long drawn out abstract dronescapes of howling vox and pounding drum plods spaced WAY out, culminating in the nearly eight minute closer, beginning with the strangely titled "Ba Yom Yom" and finishing off with an absolutely unrecognizable cover of "Sweet Home Alabama", a convoluted blow out of maniacally howling vocals, sputtering percussive crunch, LOTS of feedback, and thick walls of rumbling crumbling distortion. Awesome. And about as UN-easy listening as we can imagine.

CORE OF THE EARTH - "Curtains" CD $8
Core of the Earth’s second album, “Curtains”, can best be described as dwelling in the same area that you might find (the) MELVINS. “Curtains” contains an alloy of both elements of stoner metal and sludge, producing a thick, slow, rhythmic assault on the ears. Also clearly present is slight, but obvious, nods to drone metal.

CWAF / NOOSEBOMB - "split" CD $9
How can angst, anger, and rage be captured so brilliantly on tape? This Noosebomb/ CWAF split is packed with energy and balls!. CWAF is American made grind/sludge that combines thick, heavy riffs with a powerful driving rhythm section topped off with authoritative vocals narrating fury and despair. They feature an all-star lineup—most notably John Gillis (drums) who played with legends like Today is the Day and Anal Cunt. His performance once again proves that he may be one of the best metal drummers in New England. Noosebomb, who leans more towards sludge/thrash metal, also features a well known lineup with Jeff Hayward (Grief, Disrupt) on guitar, Randy Odierno (Disrupt) on bass and Mike Butkiewicz (Bane of Existence) on drums. This confirms that any band with Hayward and his suburban critique channeled though enraged vocals is bound to make an impression. The final track, “What is the World Coming To,” is a doom- inspired masterpiece, which is just a small example of the tremendous power of Noosebomb.

DREAMS OF WHAT LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN CD $9
A compilation of extreme nihilistic sludge and black doom that will shred your nerves and leave you a pitiful, drooling mess. Featuring FISTULA, GRIEF, MOSS, RAMESSES, NEGATIVE REACTION, SOULPREACHER, THEE PLAGUE OF GENTLEMEN.

FROGSKIN / TAUNT - "split" 7" $7
Finally this nasty, alcohol imbued and drug-abusing cluster bomb has arrived! Each band one song. While both playing the same style of dirty, grooving sludge, they still emphasize their own approach and blend. Taunt with a monumental, 1 riff-based but very varied song that crumbles every piece of dope. Foaming with rage, Frogskin on the other hand blow out a rumbling blast of a song, spitting acid in nearly 8 minutes. While Taunt are self-destructive and desperate, Frogskin concentrate on suffering, pain and anger. Imported from Germany. Limited to 500 copies.

FUNERALIUM - "S/T" CD $9
The debut album of the French Ultra Sick Doom Metal band Funeralium (including members of Ataraxie, Hyadningar and Mourning Dawn) contains 6 l-o-n-g songs for almost 80 minutes (!!!) of torture Doom Metal! Hysterical sick screams, deep grunts, old school doom riffs and totally necro atmospheres. Forget everything you think you know about disturbed music and prepare yourself for a totally fucked up experience! An album that gives a new meaning to the Extreme Doom genre...

GRIEF- "Alive" CD $9
Grief are purveyors of sludgy doom metal, and this live set finds them doing what they do best. Blending the plodding riffs of Black Sabbath with the crushing intensity and screaming vocals of contemporary death metal, Grief are heavy enough for hardcore fans but make themselves unique by slowing it all down to a narcoleptic bad trip. Songs like "Polluted" and "I Hate the Human Race" underscore the band's bleak, nihilistic stance, while their crushing, lumbering attack gives fans plenty of downbeat on which to bang their heads. Limited edition of 2000 numbered copies.

HIGHGATE - "untitled" CD $9
This album presents a single 54 minute track that is an examination of manmade armageddon, warfare and nuclear horror as told through Highgate's noxious fusion of minimalist deathdoom, electronic noise, and raw black metal. Highgate's song-long epic doesn't even have a title, but the anonymity of the song adds to the fearful atmosphere that Highgate create...it's a real bad trip as the band winds through a dreary battlefield littered with corpses, moving from crushing detuned doom metal with sickening anguished screams, to plaintive guitar over whirring black static and into the pure dead void of delayed undead howls and shortwave drone that appears twelve minute in to the album. When the band eventually crashes back in from that eerie dronescape, a new riff rears it's head, slightly brighter and bluesier, a bit more catchy, but still devestatingly heavy, swimming in effects and feedback. Every five to ten minutes they move onto another riff as Highgate's World War III narrative unfolds, each one as heavy and grim as the last, shifting in speed from midtempo trudge to super slow creep, always surrounded by background noise and drones, evolving into a kind of triumphant doomy black metal dirge at the end with some awesome mangled guitar playing that really pushes the wah pedal into yer skull. Finally, this gives way to an incredibly catchy final ten minutes that become a kind of ultraheavy, doomed gloompop dirge, like a freaked out, blackened and crusty Katatonia track, clean guitar and post-punk bassline ala Joy Division wrapped around gnarly sludge riffing, finally decomposing into a loop of crushing distortion noise that ends the album. Highgate's debut is a killer slab of negatory, nihilistic doom that moves through a range of moods, all of 'em dark. Their mix of noise and doom and black metal is deftly handled, coming somewhere near a mix of THERGOTHON, FISTULA, KATATONIA, and BURZUM; definitely recommended to fans of extreme black doom.

HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM - "Gold From The Sea" CD $8
French doom metal in the vein of OBSESSED, CANDLEMASS and GOBLIN. Includes a cover of "Hiding Mask" by the Obsessed.

MAHAKALA - "S/T" CD $9
The debut album of this sludgecore road roller from Greece. 5 tracks with influences of Bongzilla, Buzzoven, High On Fire, Iron Monkey, Cavity, Sleep, Alabama Thunderpussy and Eyehategod. Limited to 1000 copies. Not a release to miss out on!

MARZURAAN - "Five Years Of Fuck All" CD $9
Latest release from one of our favorite proponents of drone/doom/dirge, alongside folks like SUNNO))), Corrupted, Earth, Khanate, Boris, Eyehategod, etc. But unlike many of those other bands, UK's Marzuraan always seemed to approach their sound with one eye on the sludge, the other on the pop. Imbuing even the heaviest and murkiest of dirges with crystalline shimmer, or subtle muted melody, or even buried hooks, without sacrificing any of their sheer power or skull caving heaviness. This collection comprises demos, live stuff, rarities and rehersals from the UK's most consistantly interesting, forward-thinking, and just plain fucking great band of the last decade. Starting off from now and moving backwards through time to the early bedroom demo days, this CD shows Marzuraan's evolution from simplistic droning minimalism of the two bass lineup to the full-on rock beast of today. So track by track, the sound becomes more and more simple, moving away from the progressive drone pop and blown out shoegaze drone of recent recordings to something much more primitive and noisy. All in all, Marzuraan do it better than anyone else going right now; be it bleak minimal droning walls of sound, controlled experiments into feedback or balls-out "post" rock, without the scene points. They sound like the late, twisted Black Flag stuff on a mid-period Voivod album, with Swervedriver on in the background. Played by Helios Creed. Totally great packaging by the guys at Thumbprint Press; three-panel chipboard sleeve, double-sided print, with stark black letterpress and clear varnish. You may know these guys' work from the Sunn0))) live album or one of the many Bastard Noise family releases. Also, a full Marzuraan discography is featured inside.

NORDVARGR - "Pyrrhula" CD $9
Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula ("doomlord") is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom... a portent of dark times to come... a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself! "Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood and reap your unborn".

RAW RADAR WAR / DEER CREEK - "Split" CD $9
Limited edition of only 1000 copies. A split album featuring Boston's brutalizing RawRadarWar and the bleak, punishing heaviness of Denver's Deer Creek. RRW is fronted by Only Living Witness and Milligram vocalist Jonah Jenkins in his most ferocious persona yet. RawRadarWar occupies the front half of this disc with five cuts: an epic cut of scathing, rumbling, low-toned Sludge Doom ("Not Exactly Invincible") and four of dark, Ambient Noise soundscapes. The back half of this CD features seven desolate doses of the heavy from Denver's Deer Creek: four tracks from the "Theriac" recording and the three tracks from the "Mammon" demo. Features original "Doom Tornado" artwork and layouts by Paul Vismara.

SKITLIV - "Amfetamin" CD $9
Exclusive release from the Doom / Noise project of Maniac (ex-MAYHEM), featuring Kvarforth (SHINING), and with special guest vocals by Attila (SUNN O))), MAYHEM). From Black Metal through Funeral Doom and Demonic Noise, Skitliv cover all the bases in modern extreme sonics. The CD version includes bonus tracks from Skitliv's live performance at the Camden Underworld, London, 13th December 2007, with a special intro from CURRENT 93 (Tibet & Liles).

STUMM - "I" CD $9
ULTRA SLOW & HEAVY SUICIDE DOOM FROM FINLAND. A 36 minute crawl through ultra-raw aural shit, piss and blood only made all the more fucked-up by tortured vocals that bring to mind Alan Dubin after drinking bleach and inhaling pool cleaner.

SUPER TIMOR - "Cauchemar D'Esque" CD $9
Smashing debut from this French sludegore-doom killing machine with sixteen songs of incredibly low tuned sludge metal and talk about GRIM! Influences are Eyehategod, Sleep, Bongzilla and Electric Wizard. This release also features their original demo recordings, as well as their full length release. Brutal artwork by Tom Denney (Southern Lord, Lair Of The Minotaur, Kylesa, Rwake, Mugwart, Buried At Sea, etc).

TEAM ROBESPIERRE / BREVATOR - "split" 10" $9
Brooklyn's no-wave Screamers-inspired electro punk band, Team Robespierre, join forces with Albany's psych-doom merchants, Brevator, who sound like the Butthole Surfers jamming with Khanate. The best in speed, the best in sludge. Get it while you can. Limited to 500 copies.

WALL OF SLEEP - "Sun Faced Apostles" CD $9
Wall of Sleep's latest slab of groovy doom is damn near perfect, and excellent production is one of the first things listeners will notice about it. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise to worshipers of WoS's previous effort, "Slow, But Not Dead". The guitar saws through, the bass hammers away what's left, and the drums crush it all into dust. The whole album has a SPIRIT CARAVAN and EARTHRIDE vibe to it while still retaining the passionate songwriting of WoS itself. This band can take a riff and just continue to build on it until it becomes an utterly massive, soulful juggernaut. Wall of Sleep has chosen their name well, because after listening to "Sun Faced Apostles", you feel somewhat drained and bewildered, almost as though a gigantic brick wall has just fallen on you. This is highly recommended for fans of doom or rock in general.

WIJLEN WIJ - "s/t" CD $9
Their songs are huge, lumbering blasts of slomo funeral doom, very much in the tradition of Skepticism's classic Stormcrowfleet and Thergothon's Stream From The Heavens, ultra sloooow and intensely depressing, dark and raw, the long lumbering songs buried in an austere graveyard atmosphere. But then there are the guitars, so saturated in distortion that they sound alot like Nadja's overmodulated walls of fuzzy drone, massive crumbling waves of crunch pouring forth over sparse plodding tomb-marches beaten on huge tympani drums, over which Wijlen Wij drape layers of ominous, beautiful church organ drones, minor key fugues, and haunting Gregorian chant-like choirs. Awesome! The first track even sounds like a deathdoom version of music from the Conan The Barbarian soundtrack. 6 tracks of epic, desolate doom metal perfectly crafted out of obsidian riffage, which isn't too surprising as the band is a virtual funeral doom/drone-doom supergroup, featuring members of Pantheist, Solicide, In Somnis, Until Death Overtakes Me, and Fall Of The Grey Winged One! In a limited edition of 1000 copies.

WORLD BELOW - "Repulsion" CD $9
For fans of slow, deep strumming, melancholic riffs and sad epic doom. Incorporating influences from darker parts of the metal palette they fuse elements of black, doom and war metal to produce a blend of slow and tortured music – in two words, epic doom. Further listening revealed more intricacies of riffs galore, constant and frequent melody and tempo changes, commendable double guitar work and thick tone, all very tastefully executed. The melody seems unstoppable as it flows in a stoic manner from song to song, remaining dark and anthem-like. Swedes have a good track record of creating powerfully epic doom and World Below is not an exception.

WRECK OF THE HESPERUS - "The Sunken Threshold" CD $9
This debut full length from Irish tarpit beasts Wreck Of The Hesperus carries on the fine tradition of maximum downer doom. The album contains three looong songs, "Stop The Black Coffins", "Grave Signal", and "The Osseous Tomb (Echoes Of Winter)", which clock in at a combined 42 minutes in length, so you know you're going to get immense, ultra-slow stretched-out riffs pulled apart like gobs of tar over some surprisingly busy drumming, sickening demonic vocals screeching in slo-mo while the crusty riffs are set to hypno-repeat mode, grinding and stumbling over and over for up to eight minutes at a time, while hallucinatory electronic noises and processed vocal murk lurks in the shadows. The last track "The Osseous Tomb (Echoes Of Winter)" even has a minimal, whispered second half that owes as much to the slow-core of Codeine and Low as it does the gnarly deathsludge of Noothgrush and Khanate. The artwork and package design for this disc is really cool, too...a stark, high contrast tangle of withered vines and squid tentacles that scrambles across the entire multipage booklet and case. This one is a crusher, highly recommended to fans of crusty, gnarly doom filth like Khanate, Moonshine, Grief, Noothgrush, Corrupted, Fleshpress, Eyehategod, Moss, and Graves At Sea.

ZENI GEVA - "Maximum Money Monster" CD $9
Reissue of the legendary debut CD by Zeni Geva, originally released by Pathological Records in 1990. Prepare yourself for the pounding, monolithic Japanese noise / doom / post-rock barrage that is Zeni Geva. For fans of early Swans. Zeni Geva is Kazuyuki K. Null, Mitsuru Tabata (ex-Boredoms), Ikuo Taketani and Tatsuya Yoshida. Comes with 3 bonus, previously unreleased tracks, recorded live in Tokyo 1988-1989.
