US Christmas - Eat The Low Dogs

This record is just so out there that it has to be experienced first hand. This brand of Space Rock combines equal divisions of Hawkwind, My Bloody Valentine, Minsk, Neurosis and Earth. I talked with some of the guys before they played and I was eager to hear what they had to offer. The barrage of guitars is backed by a forceful rhythm section, sweeping theramin, plodding bass lots of pedal worship. I picked up this CD after seeing them open up for Baroness and I have to say that I was blown away hearing this live. The 3 guitarist created a heavy oxygen-starved atmosphere, the yowling vocalist crooned from behind an elk-skull adorned mic stand while the bass kicked you in the teeth; the 2 drummers synchronized and often went on tangents of elegant accenting while the drummer from Minsk played hand drums and other assorted instruments and all while a screeching distorted violen squaked like a pterodactyl being ripped apart by alligators. Powerful as fuck. This psychedelic trip through the old west will lead you through powerful imagery of light, darkness, deserts and bleeding corpses. This must be heard to be believed.

Supergroups keep popping up these days, with the likes of Chickenfoot (Boo! Hiss!), The Dead Weather (*crickets), Bloodbath (-Snore-) and Them Crooked Vultures (...meh) and most of them don't live up to the parts that make the whole. This band features members of Wino/St. Vitus, Neurosis, Melvins and Om/Sleep; let me tell you right now, this shit is as the kids say 'off da hook'. Highly recommended for fans of any of these. This ass-ripping cut of sly Psychedelic Doom will make your skull rattle if you already couldn't tell by its pedigree. This record is a monument to what's coming out of Neurot, Southern Lord and Ipecac; some of the best labels on the circuit. You need something to chill you out while still maintaining a heavy-handed atmosphere? Then this is for you. Did I mention that it was recorded in only THREE DAYS?! That means that this promises to be raw and powerful as if it was fresh out of the amplifier oven. Scott Kelly of Neurosis equates it as a record that reinforces "music as a religion and a means of communication. I listen to this project more than any other I've worked with and I listen to it LOUD". I highly recommend this for anyone who loves Doomy music or is looking to get into it for the first time. As always, you should buy this if you enjoy it; the boys at Neurot deserve it. The probability that if you don't and you enjoy it, you may not see another record from this supergroup.

Buried At Sea - Ghost

Perfect music for the winter season. Buried At Sea's sonic masterpiece 'Ghost' is one near-thirty minute track of staggeringly heavy doom metal. This hot slab of heaviness carries slight hints of Neurosis, Earth and Sunn along with its own signature atmosphere. This finely tailored journey is laden with sound samples and drenched guitars that drag the listener to the bottom like a waterlogged coffin. Also, as always if you enjoy what you hear please purchase it from the link listed below. These guys well deserve your dollar.
